~ In landscape painting the thing that is of importance to artistic expression is the "landscape sense," a sense that makes us feel the weight of the mountain, feel the float of a cloud, feel the rhythmic read of a tree, the hardness of a stone. If we do not feel these things about a landscape,
we miss one
of its biggest qualities.
~ ~ ~John F. Carlson
Are you finding with the daily painting there isn't much time for detail? I would get stuck on detail and want to go back the day after and perhaps the day after that. I commend you for the daily painting exercise. I was reading where one painter would paint the same subject such as flowers day after day till the flowers were past their freshness. I think I would ave to do that just to make it easier.
