My heart nearly stopped when you said "I spent nearly 15-20", and i thought you were about to say minutes. Thankfully it was hours. Beautiful artwork!

Thank you for the walkthrough of this painting! Landscapes usually give me a hard time. From workflow to color choice, so seeing your process was very helpful!

A wonderful look into your process, and a great end result. Thanks!

You're such an inspiration to me as a fellow artist. I've learned so much from you and get excited every time you post something new! ❤️

You are awesome. I just loved every bit of the master touch you gave to the BG. Take care of those precious hands of yours!

I love your videos, Olaf - truly inspirational. As with so many people, I'd love to make my own feature film one day but budget prevents me from proceeding with it. However, making an animation instead IS doable and you've shown us the way. Thank you. One thing I noticed from this video is how much time is taken sampling/changing the colours of your brushes. An idea that might help people speed up the process a bit more is to create a palette swatch on and an extended area off the side of your canvas - they don't have to be individual colour swatches, they can be ribbons of colour/value that you can sample from using the colour picker tool.

I mostly paint characters, but I really want to get into painting environments! I have such a hard time knowing what to do and how to do it, this process was so nice to watch, thank you!
