Thank you Yovette for a great video. I switched over to the water soluble oils and am having such a hard time with my mountains. The paint just isn't thick enough for me, but you make it look so easy and perfect. I guess I just need more practice. I lost my hubby in December of 21 and just started painting again so maybe that's the problem. Your work is always so beautiful!

Hi Yovette! Fantastic mountain lesson! Varying your peeks no steps and no teepees, and how to place your shadows based on your light source. Yes, oil paint in the freezer! I have a funny story of when our youngest son (when he was a teenager) was rooting around in the basement looking for something delicious in the freezer calls out that all my paint palettes with cling wrap were in the way of his food LoL. You are such a wonderful teacher and the mountain scene you created is spectacular. Big hugs to you Yovette!

Thank you for this video, Yovette! I love all of this, such great information, and I can't wait to practice these tips! Can you go into more of the "what, why, how" of freezing your paints? I thought that was so interesting!

Hi Yo 🌹
Great video! I noticed something kind of cool. At the bottom of the mountains, some of the blue blends with the orange resulting in a soft greenish tone suggesting far away trees. 😊🐿

I assume this technique would work for acrylics, too? I'd like to try this!

I was so nervous about making the paint break on the mountain! My instructor Darrell Crow said go for it! I did just that and it worked! I had confidence and it allowed me to paint tons of mountains and people noticed them and it is just about everything I paint.
