One of the most common mistakes that I see made is when a painter chooses to paint over something instead of painting around it. It's okay to leave empty canvas for a different object in your painting. Today I demonstrate this with clouds which is a popular subject to make this mistake with. Enjoy!

Hi, I am the son of two artists and began painting in my hometown of Richmond, Virginia before I could walk. I was a rare combination of artist and athlete so I moved to Los Angeles in 2008 to play football for USC. I left the team my sophomore year to focus on painting and filmmaking, applying the same focus and discipline from my football career to my art. I primarily work in oils, and spend most free days painting "en plein air" in my new home of Sarasota Florida.
