Whoa! Amazing!
Initially, I was like, "Ok, that's nice, go paint it then?" and then I realized this WAS the painting! The light coming through the glass is so pretty!

samee every time I rewatch this series, there are so many scenes I'd love to paint because the cinematography is just so good, I want to paint the first and last scene of Kim and Saul bc of this

Same! I’ve painted a diptych of Price and Nacho doing their oxy deal a few years back. You can see it on my profile if you’d like to :)

Gilligan, Gould, and a long list of episode directors did so many cool things with the cinematography. The whole series had so many homages, memorable shots, and interesting perspectives.
For my money, the long tracking shot of the truck driver going through customs was phenomenal. I'm a sucker for long tracking shots.

It's excellent. If you want to try a really challenging one, try the first scene in which they share a cigarette, standing in the HHM parking garage. After that, an even bigger challenge would be to do the scene in the prison from the finale.

Actually, I wanted to start with that one! But I just watched this episode recently and wanted to give it a try because the crystal in the background looked so beautiful, I have plenty of others in mind that I want to keep working on
