Oh wow, I really love this piece! The colours work so well together and the texture from the brushstrokes is very pleasing to look at. Fantastic as always

Colors and the leading lines that take the eye into the painting create a dynamic and pleasing view. Your brushstrokes are wonderful. As an experienced photographer I am venturing into acrylics ... and hope to approach those brushstrokes someday.
Looking at this. A different approach that I am considering until my drawing skills improve. See "“Painting in the 21st Century”How to Paint a Landscape in Oils " at www.artinstructionblog.com/how…
Curious, what do you think for a beginner to try? ... I can see the dangers of having too much detail but, it would help me to get a shape on canvas .
Anyway, as always excellent work ... in a site that has too much non-art images on it ... you are a light I think.

Such flattering compliments 
The instruction there at the blog is very good, especially the suggestion of combining photos to create the desired layout. When starting painting it is better to learn all the details, colors, different types of brushes, paper and canvases, about perspective, human anatomy and so on. These are the basics. From that on one can go step by step into abstraction, reducing details or whatever your way of abstraction will be.
Some don't care about all the theories and just paint, mostly objectless abstracts, that is also okay - no matter what you do, relax and have fun

Art:
I meant it ... for me your brushstrokes are sublime. Thank you for looking at that. I did not have the background to evaluate that and I know you do. Thanks for your suggestions. I have a brushes, new easel, etc. but, I still need to get the proper paint.
Best regards,

you are welcome!
Just a note reagarding your interest in my heavy brushwork: I mostly work with oils and they have a different texture/consistency than acrylics. You need to work with "heavy body" acrylics to get close to the thick oils but it is still a different approach.
Cheers

I had started researching acrylics but, my interest really is in the brushstokes ... so maybe I will see what oils I need now ... I used to be very happy in the precise images of my DSLRs but, now they just have too much reality for me. Time and change ... Thank you again my friend!

Thank you for sharing your experience. It seems the more I read from my web research ... the less I understand ... too many competing voices found from Google. So you have helped me a lot so far. For example, you enabled me to learn about "heavy acrylics" ... and oil painting and its texture. I am grateful.
Also, I meant it when I said your brush strokes are sublime. I could just go ahead and Favorite your whole page
I just realized that you do not need my in-work "Thumbnail Sketch of my Plan: to answer the following question. So I am going to repeat it here. Thank you in advance if you do consider this for me. I trust you ... all of the competing things I found on the web ended up confusing me.

[] My Question:
If I purchase the "Golden Artist Colors Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Classic Theory Color Mixing (Set of 8)" with the hues below would that be a good first try at this ... that is are the colors adequate to begin painting my initial subject matter.
Amazon USA Link: " Golden Artist Colors Heavy Body Acrylic Paint Classic Theory Color Mixing (Set of 8)" see www.amazon.com/Golden-Artist-C… ... contained within Classic Theory Color Mixing Set - Contained in the set are a balanced range of eight transparent and opaque colors in 2 oz tubes, including Cadmium Yellow Light, Indian Yellow Hue, Cadmium Red Light, Alizarin Crimson Hue, Ultramarine Blue, Prussian Blue Hue, Viridian Green Hue, and Titanium White, plus a color mixing guide.
Also, I have paint color mixing card to aid me.
Thank you in advance. If there is anything I can help you with let me know.

[] Thumbnail Sketch of my Plan: Alpha, Inwork as of Wed:040616
.....
Goal: Achieve at least okay brush strokes and to get started in 2016 and improve with time. I would like to see my brush strokes ... really for me anything less is just not going to be good.
Fact Summary:
... Location: It seems that the place I have to try this is limited right now ... to a drop cloth area set up on carpet ... in a now former living room. I need to limit the mess and outside approaches 100 degrees F ... sometimes in early June in the warmer years.
... Initial Subject Matter: I have many floral based still lifes (tulips, roses, etc) and some landscapes ... that I wish to try to convert to paintings -- nearly two years worth of photographs and digital paintings. None are currently posted here on Deviantart.
... Transfer to Canvas: Learn to draw separately over time ... Or, right now, maybe tomorrow,
I propose to initially apply the method you looked at earlier: “Painting in the 21st Century” How to Paint a Landscape in Oils see www.artinstructionblog.com/how…
Really just take one or my still lifes and prepare it and use large pieces of carbon paper to get it onto the canvas to paint. i have water color pencils to fill in and fixative to put on this before painting.
Proposed Medium:
It seems that location supports heavy acrylics better than oils. So I propose to begin with"heavy acrylics" as a reasonable first try? I have most of the tools to support this even a new easel "but not" currently the paint ... or colors chosen ...

Hi Frank, you are very welcome! I know what you mean: loads of voices flood the internet and because people are different, having different needs and goals their advices are different. If your local store supports more acylics than oils go for acrylics. Also if painting indoors you have no problem with the smelly terpentine and brush cleaner (with then should be odorless) needed for oils. I don't know the GOLDEN brand so you have to give it a try. Over the time I have also tried a lot of brands to find the "right" one, now using Daler&Rawney. There is no other way than the trial an error one
Lets get a canvas and slap some color onto it

Ja, so geht mir das auch bei der "Entwicklung" der Bilder. Später nochmal betrachtet, findet man die Farb- oder SW Wahl dann doch wieder nicht so toll oder hat weitere Ideen. Oder eine andere Stimmung...

Diese kreativen Prozesse laufen denke ich unabhängig vom Medium ab. Eine schöne Gemeinsamkeit.
