    Hi Michael , I have watched your videos for a couple of years now and I think that you are amazing. I first copied your robin video and sent off for the paints and paint brushes, which assisted me to complete the oil . I sold this as one of my first commissions and was over the moon. I mainly paint dogs and am striving to make the look like yours paintings, like photographs or real life paintings. I am currently finishing off three dogs and trying to put them on sand dunes. I would love to meet you and take an art class in person with you. If ever you do classes, then I would be over the moon. Many thanks, Lynne Shelton West Midlands, England

    Michael, I really like the way you paint the sand under the grass. Like I said many times, you are fantastic. You remind me of someone that lived in the 18 th century. He died in 1791, but he still lives thru his music. I hope you don't mind my crazy letters. I am now immobile and haven't much else to do. Your painting make me happy so keep,them coming. F C.

    +Kip Hurst...in the underpainting...the important thing is for landscapes...is to establish your lights...darks...filling in the shapes...and trying to get your values as close as possible...however, as Michael mentioned many times...the block in with acrylics first...it doesn't have to be so presise...when you apply the oils this is where you need to establish the correct values...hope this helps.
