This video is now my favorite of all your tutorials. I like that you not only teach new techniques, but you do this with interesting backgrounds. I'm trying to recreate your beautiful sheep field for my 93 year old father who once raised sheep and is now enjoying painting. I know he'll love it. Talking about painting gives us a way to connect during this scary pandemic. We talk every night by phone (he's 1000 miles away - about 1600 kms :). Thank you, Paul. I don't think you even know the impact you have made with so many people like me. You've given us a goal, and you've given us a connection to others. "Thank you" doesn't seem like enough. You are so appreciated.

First time viewer here and I enjoyed watching your techniques. I appreciate the use of your white pastel, too because sometimes we forget we can incorporate other mediums to add accents and texture to our paintings. A good example is digging out our watercolor/colored pencils to add a touch of color here and there if we don't happen to have the right watercolor paint. The finished paintings you showed at the end have that rustic, country feel, which I really admire and appreciate!

I haven’t done a watercolour since I was a child. I really enjoyed the experience of going out and doing the painting, but having brought it home to do the details I am really struggling.
