Gorgeous! The eye knows exactly where to look. There are areas of detail and areas of rest. Thank you for showing and teaching your process!

Loved what David said about committing when you put paint down and being ready to change it immediately if the value or color is off.

I am so glad I found this video! I've been really curious about your process for oil painting. I've been a freelance digital artist for years but just moved into oil painting in the last month and wow, it's tough! This video was so helpful for understanding the step by step process. Do you have any other tutorials for traditional oil painting? If so I would be interested in purchasing it. Thanks for sharing your talent, so incredibly impressive!
