        I took a workshop with K Hudson a month ago and learned a great deal. She makes it look so easy. This is a painting I worked on one afternoon. I was really trying to get out of my tight painting style and do something a bit more loose and painterly.

        “I was really trying to get out of my tight painting style and do something a bit more loose and painterly.” I think you succeeded. I looked at this before I read and your comments and I really liked the style. Gary

            Beautiful Wes – I think by going looser you were able to capture some beautiful movement in the water – I love it!

                Well done Wes! It is hard to change one’s style isn’t it? Do you prefer working this way? I know you love your cityscapes so it will be quite hard to go loose with them! I love the sweeping strokes on the headland and you have achieved a great sense of movement in the water with minimal strokes.

                    The looseness is well portrayed, Wes – Well Done ! – A lovely composition also as it leads the viewer into the scene – I like that !

                        Well done Wes. My first job was a technical illustrator so I can relate to how difficult it can be to loosen-up :)

                                Thanks Gary, Ann, Michael, Caroline, and Hans! I will try to incorporate what I learned going forward and try to get better with this approach.

                                Thanks Bizz! I would love to paint cityscapes successfully this way without creating mud. It is certainly worth trying and will have to see how that turns out.

                                    Beautifully done with superb handling of earthtones in the land mass and wonderful depth to the entire piece.

                                    Really nice Wes! Lovely loose brushwork with great color. It’s fun to experiment with different styles.

                                                    A loose and painterly style suits you very well, Wes! The subtle touch of red-violet in the sky is perfect and I admire your confident strokes of color very much!

                                                    Good brushwork and color values. Congrats on your success with the different approach. I like it!
