I am curious, Windsor Kinkade, any relation to your friend Tom?
Such a pretty place and you choose to paint a folding chair... it was the railing and shadows that caught my eye. My first thought was why the chair? Yet your chair ends up such a beautiful piece that I can't help but feel bad for my first thought.
Yes, Winsor is his daughter. Painting a folding chair was funny because the house was so full of antiques, but I liked the way the light shined on it.
My only other wish I'd that we could have seen the other three paintings too.
Beautiful painting. Thank you for the tutorial.
Van Gogh and Gauguin also painted a chair in warm and cool tones - yours reminded me.
They were no folding examples, though.
How the light shines through your texture.
What Stephen and Nyree said.
Stephen and Bernicky, I agree, it would have been nice to see what everyone else painted, but I didn't want to obligate everyone to be part of my video.
Fantastic, I love to follow your blog... TY :)
When you went back in and repainted the chair leg that had been covered by gouache, was the paint again a mixture of gouache and watercolor?
Steve, yes, I went back in with watercolor. Gouache made its way into the mixtures more and more as the painting went along.
What is the difference in drying time between gouache and gouache/watercolor mix or is that dependent on the amount of water and ambient temperature?
sorry ,unknown is Mitch.
Hi James, I was wondering what specific products (and any links you have) you are using for the light diffusers that scatter the light over your sketchbooks. Thanks!

Great thanks! Oh my... I gotta build it. :P
