Painting light on Plant Forms

Key points from the Video
Oil Paint comparison (Personal experience): I’m using 2 main brands at present. Old Holland is superb. Thick paint with lots of body. Gorgeous colours. Perfect for firmly establishing colour as it is so dense. Widely acclaimed as being a high-end oil paint (I can confirm it is). Expensive though. Rembrandt, on the other hand, can be quite oily. Great for glazing but takes a lot of layers to build up colour intensity. Also lovely colours.
Paint consistency: when first establishing areas of colour you need the paint to be quite opaque. Less so for glazing when I would add mediums to increase flow (liquin + turps usually)
Always allows layers to dry between glazes. I usually have several paintings on the go to allow for drying time.
Brushes: I use short flat (soft) brushes for detail (as opposed to long, pointed bristles). It allows me to rub the paint in to create softer details.
I'm relatively new to oil painting. I started 18 months ago. I really welcome the advice and recommendations that you give . Also the encouragement on the zoom and face to face classes has been
