    Good job! Insane, how exactly you painted the lilies, one like the other! Then have the courage to put the pollution on this Perfect painting. Crazy! Like it a lot.

    • Marc MussatPLUS

      hi! thanks for your vote ! I apperciate... concerning the lilies, I first make a point pattern using a small template according to the density of lilies I want to paint. Then I gradually build up the lilies with a dark colour (I paint with oils - I use burn umber ) the dilution is essential - no too thick or too fluid... (points into lines, lines into curves...) after drying, i can start adding colours to hihlight or shadow. then after complete drying, i can use either an airbrush or pastels . If you are intersted take a look at my small tutorial (in english - with pictures) : https://marcmussat.jimdo.com/tutoriels/freehand-painting/

    Thank you for your explanation about the painting of the lilies, it was very interesting and instructive I also went via your link to your homepage. Your illustration is really skillful and professional. In any case, I will take over one or the other here. Thanks again! Pit
