I never get tired of this view. It's not mine but I do enjoy the photos I took. I've painted this scene many times and in many different ways. I love it because it lets me play with painting grass. I LOVE to paint grasses.
Grass can be a challenge and can make or break a painting. Grass that is painted too stiff, thick or regular can not only look unnatural it can create a visual barrier. The eye of the viewer can't get past this 'fence' of grass. The trick to painterly natural looking grass is to paint with BROKEN LINES. I show you in a video on my YouTube channel. Check it out and paint some grass this weekend!
