how nice to have time for some solitude and long walks in the woods to feed the soul... wow that sandwich looked really good!! love to see the painting in its stages of development, thank you for the podcast so we can see these places and the artwork!

I discover that , a great painting with very little color could be the real MasterPiece

In this special vlog the automatic translations make "thank you" from the sound if the sparrows. That's so nice, I call them "thank you-birds" from now on😂

Wish I was as calm as you when I paint. Your so enspiring . What a great site ❤

you just need a little lights with the Color , yes , this is the real masterpiece

I've been following you on KZread now for several weeks and enjoy watching not only your amazing paintings but also the thought process that goes into and prior the first brushstrokes. Thank you for sharing this insight into how a professional artist works, something I've not seen before.

I'm so sorry about the mechanical mishap with your van while in France. That's certainly frustrating; I would be upset too. Hopefully your van will be back with you in the Hague soon 🙏

Shelley, that’s great. I’m glad you have this experience watching the videos

Your vlogs have become a weekly favourite of mine. The quietness, the movement of water with your brush, the birds and people, your movements through your studio, as well as seeing your daily processes... so relaxing to watch. I really enjoyed watching your process with the foreground bushes, I could relate. I recently had a similar issue with a painting that had some grasses in sand dunes. I chose the image because I wanted to learn how to paint the chaotic movement of the grass. At first I struggled and had to push aside my doubt. Like you, I told myself I can do this. I took a short break and studied other artists work. I returned to my work and achieved my goal.

Made me feel a bit ashamed that I have opted for the quick coffee machine pods, when I was brought up by mediterranean parents lol. The painting is coming along enchantingly, and I cant wait to see the end results! Thanks for sharing a little part of your life with us:). The painting is amazing, what a view........ preserved as long as the painting is hanging where it can be truly appreciated!

The painting is beautiful, lucky owners who commissioned it. I sympathise with you about painting in that dark apartment - the darkness of that space was the first thing I noticed last week when we saw the apartment, for me it would be next to impossible to paint in that darkness and with sooo little light and I admire you for persevering.

What a treat to be away and sort of hidden from the day to day distractions. I was curious that after you made your coffee and sipped by the window and when you started to paint, it seemed that the only real light source was from the kitchen…a yellowish/warm glow. Would this not create a slight distortion in the color choices you make? Looking forward to my own ‘secret’ travel plans…check that….I see you talked about the light later in the video…😊

Hi, thanks. It’s good to know it helped you while a lot is going on in your country. I prefer Arches paper, the thickest. The thinner one is also good, but it needs to be stretched.

Hi Charlotte. Yes I always use varnish (retouching varnish) before I deliver an oilpianting, but for this painting in France there wasn't enough time left. So I asked the client to visit a framer somewhere to let him put the varnish on it

Hi Florian, I don't use any medium in oil. Only just a little linseed oil if the paint feels to dry. The first varnish is retouching varnish which can be layered quite early. Maybe this layer is still quite wet when I deliver the painting to the client

Está mostrando la vida real como un artista. Se toma muchísimas fuerzas y no se presume de si mismo. Tiene más videos pero uno empieza a entender más en realidad cómo vivimos como artistas y uno no simplemente puede sentarse de una vez y hacerlo así. Es algo que sale del corazón cómo practicar un instrumento, afinar todo, etcétera, pues un proceso. No es necesario que me responda pero allí está.

Well done ......loved it!
