Fall forest by the lake – I Learn Painting

20*20 oil on stretched canvas Summer 2014

One of my first paintings with Igor Sakharov youtube lesson (click on the hyperlink).

I loved the combination of vibrant colors. I learned a lot from that lesson on how to create water reflections. I say this is one of the easiest, fun and most successful paintings of mine 🙂 This painting received the most positive feedback from everyone who saw it. I wonder why it is everyone’s favorite when i spent so little time on it and creating it was pure fun? Possibly, there is no correlation between an audience’s feedback and an artist’s efforts. There is a definite casual relationship of the artist’s fun and inspiration and the audience’s appreciation!
