New Oil Painting Lesson updated!

After a few false starts with my introduction speech I finally got under way... I decided I was going to paint a blue sky with a few clouds and a nice easy mountain, the rest was going to take shape as I painted it. I find if you have a basic idea of what you want you can just go with it and allow your painting to develop itself.

I am glad I managed to get the painting done within 40 mins I was aiming for 30 but was painting on guess work, maybe a large clock would be useful next time.

The image below is of my old trusty Sony Handycam. I have had it a while now but it has become a friend over the years I would feel guilty up grading. Maybe when I do I will keep it as a back-up.
