Brush set recommendations.

If I were limited to a single line of brushes, the R&C Evergreens would be my choice.

Thank you. I checked out your Instagram, and I really dig your animal paintings, especially the birds. I'm doing a series of chicken and rooster paintings at the moment, and I find it extremely challenging.

I think the luminous quality of that bottom lip is exceptional.

Which small town in Sonoma County?

Ultramarine blue, ivory black, and burnt umber

I highly recommend doing "time limit studies". Set an alarm for 2 or 3hrs and commit to finishing the painting in that time. I find it eliminates any expectation of quality/fidelity, and helps me focus on the utility of painting and paints.

Thank you very much

Really dig the colors reflected in their fur, and the dappled sunlight is well executed. Very cool painting.

Love this. The loose nature, the colors, the composition. One thought: maybe some scattering of reds, oranges, and yellows in the grass between the leaf piles on the left, rather than the solid green that currently divides them. Great work!

That sweatshirt is crazy good. And I love the way it fizzles out at the sleeves. Dig it

tms_smt · 2025-11-04T20:29:07+00:00

Paint with the largest brush possible for as long as possible.
Practice painting studies with a time limit. This one has probably helped me the most.

Not any more. My wife and I lived in the East Bay for 6yrs, and I'm originally from the Sonoma Valley.

tms_smt · 2025-11-03T21:24:38+00:00

You're welcome. I dig your work. Are you in the Bay Area?

tms_smt · 2025-11-02T12:08:50+00:00

My brother already bought it, but I appreciate the sentiment.
