Oh my wooooord, Harriet! This is avsooutely gorgeous and I can not wait to paint it! When I saw those tree skeletons start to go in I thought this would be so fun to as a haunted house at Halloween.
Wow! absolutely stunning. I love it. Thank you .
Bravo! Et merci pour ce temple qui se construit sous nos yeux, plein de volumes et de détails. Les arbres sont magnifiques aussi et la perspective qui nait sous ton pinceau est magique! Très très beau tuto! 😍
Your drawing skills and brush control are incredible!
What a beautiful painting!! ❤😊
Love this!
Perfect I love this picture, many thanks. ❤
This is lovely, but probably too difficult for a first try Could you try all the landscape and a pretty bench where one might meditate. That is often seen in Japan.
I LOVe the color palette!a, BTW, many, many moons ago my family and I lived in Kapan for three years!
Love this, so pretty 🌸

Thank you so much Harriet for this so beautiful tutorial. I love this kind of landscapes. I'm french but I understand the main thing. You explain very well. You are a very talented artist.

Use indigo or charcoal black instead of paynes grey -I am a very senior hobby painter from Mumbai . You are indeed very talented!!

Hi, I don't have moonglow. What color can I use instead?
Reminds me of the one in Kew Gardens
One of my most favourite ones yet. Can’t wait to give it a go.
What color is Moonglow?
The sketching on this one gave me a run for my money. Try it a few times and finally succeeded period thank you for sharing this with us. Harrit period I loved doing. It took me quite a while, but I'm pretty pleased with it. And I'm so grateful for all your teaching and videos. Perio.
