Ma série des "6 oiseaux de mon jardin" se termine par mon chat, les observant, probablement pas pour les mêmes raisons que moi🫤😉. C’est ma 1ère expérience de peinture d’un animal "à pelage"... Pas simple... beaucoup de modulation ! Petit sujet intéressant...

Not sure how good it is. But painting looser like this is kind of feeling right to me. 10x8 acrylics

1er payage de l’année 2026 et mon premier paysage mélant arbre et végétation! Tellement facile quand nous regardons Sam peindre ce genre de tableau, mais tellement "compliqué" pour obtenir un résultat... statisfaisant. Acrylique sur toile libre de 29x29cm d’après une photo référence prise cette fin d’été juste en dessous de chez moi en Auvergne...

Hey Artists Struggling with forest scenes? You're not alone. Layers of foliage, glowing light through leaves, transparent water, rocks, dense detail... forest landscapes can feel completely overwhelming. But here's the thing: once you understand the right approach, even the most complex forest scenes become manageable. Check out this YouTube video where I paint a challenging forest landscape step-by-step, showing you exactly how to tackle all those intimidating elements without getting lost in the details. After 20+ years of painting landscapes and many years teaching thousands of students, I've learned that the secret isn't trying to paint everything you see, it's understanding the fundamentals that make ANY forest scene work.

Kind of like the composition on this 10x8 gouache study. I think I'm going to do a larger oil painting of this.
