The following are 2 free painting lessons , enjoy!
Here is my approach to painting , starting with field studies , painted on location . The challenge is painting the fleeting light of the day. The reward is walking out of the wilderness with a gift from nature. I have been fortunate over the years to have recieved many of natures rewards. Many people ask me If I give lessons , this is for you.
P.S...I have been considering hosting a wilderness painting adventure "let me know what you think, e-mail me at rjstump@aol.com
