I hope I catch up at some point. Here in East Texas is cold and rainy again and obviously humid so it will take six and a half years for the oil paint to dry. I just finished the Lesson 4 from the Live Class Current Series. I am soooo enjoying it!! šŸ¤­ Not to blow my own horn, but I give myself the ā€œMost Improvement in Oil Paintingā€ Award šŸ†. It this painting is not all that good, just imagine the quality of previous tries! Anyhow, this is totally a joy to follow along the recorded classes!! šŸ˜Š ![IMG_9465](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/b/bc48327af54d097110bf5da1e3d83eca2131d584.jpeg) ---

Looking great Sonia. Iā€™m looking forward to seeing the final completed painting. Iā€™ve never used oils myself. maybe one day Iā€™ll try. ---

Your happiness shines through in your comment. Youā€™re doing great! I have set painting (oil or watercolor) aside because I am quite wrapped up in soft pastels. Patricia. ---

Hi Sonia. Congratulations on taking on this challenge. I think I will do it next and post my progress here too. Iā€™m going to try painting with an easel. Never done that before but physical therapist doesnā€™t want me looking down for extended stretches of time because of the vertigo treatments. Terri ---

More of my oil paintingā€¦Yā€™all I love oils!! Sure my colors are not the right ones but who cares! At least I can tell there are trees and rocks as opposed to shapeless oily blobs of paint as I used to make haha. I enjoy my own little progress so much! So Fun! ![IMG_9948](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/1/1ab83100cf745d2f3d2962cf6dd573db75948eb1.jpeg) ---

Hi Sonia @Meme5 Youā€™re making great progress, and I can definitely see that you are doing better with the oil paints. I finally have my drawing of this landscape ready and should be pulling out the paints in a few days. I just had my second Physical Therapy treatment for the vertigo today, and am not supposed to look ā€œdownā€ for 2 days (which makes drawing and painting difficult). Iā€™ll post something next week.

Hi Jane @janed The gouache is working out well. Looks like Sonia and you are at about the same point in the painting. Keep up the good work and keep posting. Terri Robichon ---

@janed I like that nice gouache application painting of yours! I am so glad youā€™re doing the live class as well and posting your progress which is great!!It wouldā€™ve not occurred to me to try it with gouacheā€¦.I guess any wet medium is kind of out of my mind since I donā€™t use them much. I hope to see more of your work progress as I work on mine some more in other possible areas while the rocks area dries to the touch. Sonia Alonzo ---

Terri @robichon, So good to know youā€™re receiving therapy treatment for your vertigo. Also good to know youā€™ll be carefully working on this landscape. You know I canā€™t wait to see your great painting progress!! Donā€™t look down, but join us! Sonia Alonzo ---

@janed, Oooh I like it a lot! šŸ’š I still have not tried gouache, I can see you have good control with it! How long did it take you to complete it? Thank you for sharing with us! I wander how many more people are doing this one. I couldā€™ve sworn I saw another post about this one? Sonia Alonzo ---

Hi Sonia, Thereā€™s probably about 5 or 6 hours gone into this. One advantage of gouache is the ability to rewet the paint both on the pallet and on the paper. On disadvantage is that itā€™s so easy to rewet the paint on the paper if youā€™re going over it with foreground elements, the paint can smudge and get messy. I did a lot of dabbing on the rocks with a stiff brush to get texture. Jane Dickson ---

My progress on the Live Landscape class! Last time I did the lesson I accidentally poured linseed oil instead of the other faster drying medium so it took ages. Hopefully in a couple of days I can make even more progress ![IMG_0250](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/thevirtualinstructor/original/2X/6/61cf3c64878d10ca0297f7317009aeb08670ed06.jpeg) [Next page](https://community.thevirtualinstructor.com/t/landscape-painting-with-oils-live-class-jan-feb-2025/4263.md?page=2)
