I've just added a new video to the Community Videos page all about painting this image of a winter tree in acrylic:

That one beautiful tree Davis and so beautifully painted. Tree are so majestic throughout the different  seasons and always look so good.

Fine painting, David, and I shall scramble immediately over to the Community vids page to enjoy it as you paint it.   You're quite a bit younger than I am, I think (all too many people seem to be....) but I wonder if you remember the quality of acrylics 40 to 50 odd years ago - it would have been extremely difficult to find all the hues needed (all, or the RIGHT ones) for a painting like this: their progress in my lifetime has been staggering.

Enjoyed the video and suggest others have a watch: it's also on YouTube.  David doesn't just use brushes!  Not on acrylics, anyway - I hope he doesn't adopt quite the same methods with oil paint, because it would be slightly hazardous, at least un-gloved: go on, take a look.

I've watched it Robert and can't wait to have a go at this. It's amazing what you can create without using a brush.

I have also watched David’s video demo Robert and was very inspired by his unusual painting technique for the painting. Would  definitely say watch it it really is well worth it!
