Yes, the flowers have been great! I wish I had time to paint more of them. Thanks for your comment, Laura.😁

👋

[@ScottRuthvenFineArt]

Thanks, Dana. A quick video tonight. Thanks for tuning in. Have you painted this kind of subject?

[@---Dana----]

@ScottRuthvenFineArt I have painted flowers but not with great success. I do struggle with loose brush work but I am improving. That's one of the reasons your videos are so helpful. I'm going to try these flowers which you did wonderfully. Thank you, Scott.

[@katyhutchinson7013]

Thank you! Do you typically draw your plein air with pencil/charcoal, or does it depend on subject matter, how your feeling...etc ?

[@ScottRuthvenFineArt]

Hi Katy. I use pencil most often. It’s just the easiest solution for me. If the scene is just a few simple masses, I will draw them in with thinned paint, usually Burnt Sienna.

[@katyhutchinson7013]

@@ScottRuthvenFineArt oh ok....I love to draw, so drawing with a pencil feels more natural to me, but then I see artists using thinned paint to draw and it makes me second guess myself 😂 and then I conform and use thinned paint...😂
