Painting Rapids in a Mountain Stream

I've got the mask and I'm social distancing, so why not head into the wilderness and paint a mountain stream?


New 7-minute YouTube video at this link

Some of the topics I cover while painting rapids in Kiskatom Creek:
• Casein underpainting 
• Palette of gouache colors
• Lay-in with a brush
• Anatomy of stream rapids
• Tips for realistic foam
• Dealing with changing light

    It never ceases to amaze me what you can go with a dry brush and patience. I often times try to dry brush but without your clear patience, and therefore I ruin what could have been a good effect. This weekend I will visit a nearby stream to try again.

    PS- I love the mask, that should definitely help with social distancing!

    Where do you get a mask like that? I need one.
