At the Beginning of a Painting Series (Sketches, Studies & Ideas)

Описание: In this video I’m starting a new series of paintings inspired by palm trees, and I want to show you what actually happens before I begin painting.
Instead of going straight to the canvas, I start with sketches, studies and visual research — warming up the hand, training the eye and slowly understanding the subject.
This is the part we rarely see, but it changes everything in the finished work.

If you’ve ever wanted to start a painting but didn’t know where to begin, this is exactly for you.

I the next video: I’ll begin working with colour 🌈

💬 Do you sketch before painting, or do you jump directly onto the canvas? Tell me in the comments — I’m curious!
