Awesome awesome awesome!! 😁

Thanks so much Renee!!
I was sad to see you leave IGNITE! but I know that life can mean change, sometimes in ways we don’t expect. I’m delighted to keep teaching and sharing via the blog!😁

Hi Mark, thank you for such an enthusiastic response to my blog – so makes it all worth it!!

And thanks for sharing your learning about the hierarchy of lighting in the landscape. I hadn’t heard it talked about in that way! Cool.

Another thing I learned this week is about creating a lighting hierarchy for landscapes. Having one area with the most light is one way, of several, to create a focus for the painting.

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You are amazing.

Whoo hoo! I LOVE hearing this Anne! It’s easy to get wrapped up in just getting things down and decided with value dominance forgotten in the moment. It takes intention to include it and as you say, when it’s part of your painting, BOOM! success much more likely!

Hey Kathryn, I know that feeling to just get painting! I relate to lazy that’s for sure 🤣
And I’m deeeelighted that you are going to try to plan your paintings beforehand – glad this post helped confirm that determination!
And yes, use not-up-to-painting times to create thumbnails. It’s such a joy to come into the studio, ready to paint, and hey, a whole catalogue of thumbnails to choose from!
