5 Most Common Mistakes When Painting a Landscape
There are 5 major mistakes that apprentices make when painting a landscape.
Many students and aspiring artists feel tempted to paint details before they develop some structure on their landscape painting. They usually get lost on where to start, what colours to mix, why their colours are not exact, and things like that....

6 reasons Why Understanding Value and Value Relationships is Crucial to Improve our skills to paint landscape better
FINDING YOUR INNER VOICE AS AN ARTIST
These are some common questions that my students ask me quite often:
"How can I find my inner voice?"
"What’s my style, what style should I express my painting through? "
"How can I paint loose?"
"I’d like to paint like my favourite artist, with that expression, instead of copying a picture. "
"Why my brushstrokes don’t have the same quality of that professional artist I admire?"
They all take us to that inner voice, That poetic way to paint that makes us bring technique and creativity together in a unique way.
LOST AND FOUND EDGES
In the last months, I have been writing about the painting principles, techniques and strategies that lead me to the decisions I make on my painting and when I am teaching my students. While I was going through my notes, looking for a theme for my first blog post I found something that is the beauty of working with oils.
It's a technique that I have applied to my work in the last few years more intensively. It's called "Lost and Found Edges".

Few years ago I went on a trip to Lake Tekapo in New Zealand with my friend and her little girl called Sophia and we got to see stunning scenery along the way.
