I have been reading Larry Seiler's blog and watching him paint on wetcanvas.com for a few years. He is a great teacher and another artist that is always studying and improving his techniques and painting. Larry painted wild life in a very detailed manner for years and is now a plein air painter and paints in a relaxed painterly fashion. He has some instruction books, CD's and more. He has several websites and is a moderator for the Plein Air Forum on wetcanvas.com. He is very helpful with great comments and instruction. He is one of those northerners that paints out in the snow and cold. Yikes!
This post is how to make a light box for painting small objects from life. There is a short video about brushstrokes, too. I always like watching someone else paint! Have fun.

Jo, that is an awesome link! That is a great video, thanks for sharing it.
Thanks, Rose. One of Larry's specialties is painting running water, very cool stuff.
Thanks, Jo. I can't believe you haven't missed a beat with your diligent publishing over the holidays. Painting too!
Hi Nancy, My procrastination changes gears I think. When I need to be cleaning, cooking and visiting, I get on the computer to avoid that work. When I need to be painting then I cook, etc., and of course get on the computer. Ha. Thanks for stopping by.
Jo, this link is so helpful. I'll be sitting in front of this computer for a long time checking out all the instruction he's sharing. Thanks again!
Thanks, Jan. Larry's posts are full of great information. He is another artist that studies and shares.
