13 years agoHey Melissa,
So pleased to hear you are enjoying the course. For repainting areas of a painting i would usually use thicker paint. However, if it isn’t too much of a change a glaze might be all that is needed.
Don’t worry we’ll get you back on track in no time!Will

11 years agoReally enjoying these lessons Will, thanks! Phenom tip on laminating the photos and being able to put the color on it to judge where you’re at. As a new painter, that is going to be very helpful, as sometimes I do feel lost when mixing colors and don’t always realize how far off I am until it’s on the canvas.

10 years agoHi Will, I have this painting almost done. I need to paint the lemon. So far this painting is turning out great! I still have to give it the finishing touch.
Hi Will, I have made it to this part of my painting. I am really enjoying your lessons. They are exactly what I have been looking for. It’s very exciting! So, now I took a break and with fresh eyes I can see I want to adjust my drawing. My tea cup is a bit distorted in the front. It looks a bit as if you were looking down on it instead of strait on. How do I go back and make adjustments without ruining what I have done so far? Do I apply paint thickly to fix it, or do it in layers? Thank you.
