I love seeing this in other artists work. I’ve tried it myself but it’s the pattern on top that I struggle with. I think maybe I need to look at the shapes and textures more? Thanks for this inspiring video!

Yes, the patterns on top is the bit that takes a lot of practise. And probably developing our ability to see patterns in the world around us.

Wow, thanks a lot for sharing! A great approach! I am doing some trees and landscapes on location this month and I was struggling with texture, so I'll do a similar exercise.

Thank you! I sometimes think that I tend to get to the point a little bit too fast, but I guess that is not a bad thing.
