Yesterday, landscape painter David Dunlop did a one-day demo on painting water. He did a lecture in the morning, followed by several demonstrations in watercolor, acrylics and oils. Participants had the option of just listening and taking notes, or they were free to paint along. I had brought my little 5×7″ Guerrilla pochade box with me, so that proved the perfect thing for painting along while David did the acrylic and oil demos. These were all really fast — not more than 20-30 minutes each. It was great fun to follow along this way and try to emulate his brushwork. He did this one in acrylics, but I painted it in oils. (Didn’t bring my acrylics with me.)

Something to say?
