    Thank you both so much for this fantastic lesson. The color are so rich and vibrant. I love the subject too. I love watching you paint and learn so much each time. I love learning towards the end of the painting too where all of the lights/darks are brought out. I can really see how shadows, lights, and shades of color make such an effect on a painting. Thank you both so much. You are the best.

    Dear Ginger, You used to use old masters and impressionists' work and make a copy them for teaching purposes. It seems to me that you give up on that idea that I am very very sorry about. I would like to ask you to reconsider.

    @@gingercooklive Dear Ginger, Thank you for answering and for the link. It was very helpful. I really truly like your teaching style -as you explain everything, demonstrate in details with your easy going , warm personality - and I learned a lot from you by your Cezanne, Manet and Van Gogh lessons and I just wish you still continue and add artists to your wonderful tutorials like O'Keefe and some large scale abstract. Just an idea and a wish. I am very fond of you and your husband Jon's videos. (By the way , when I asked a question through your website, I got a prompt and detailed answer from Jon, I was pretty impressed)
