Hi friends! Spring has finally sprung in Maine. We get a lot of false starts up here but when I see the daffodils in bloom I know good weather is on the way!
I hope you enjoy this real-time tutorial and you paint along with me! There are several points in the video where I think you could stop painting and have a lovely picture. As usual, I had to keep adding more and more but please don’t think that you have to. If you like it after one layer then you can stop.

So, did you like the painting better earlier in the process before I added all of the other stuff to it? I like how it turned out but watching the video back there were parts when I wish I stopped. I like the early on loose and fresh look but it’s also fun to push it and see what you will get. By the way, I had a few people ask me about the colors in my large studio palette and I am planning a video on that later this week on Youtube. I have more videos on my YouTube channel than I have on my blog so have a look if you need some more DIY inspiration! Happy crafting!
