    This is more like a how to draw on Mars video ... The amount of skill and personality is extraordinary but the greatest lesson i learnd from this is that it doesnt actually matter wether you do an oil portrait or a single pencil sketch its all about capturing the personality of the person sitting in front of you while staying true to your world an your own emotional state....

    I showed these amazing videos to my daughters and they watched, captivated ... as I tried my best to give a general narration over the video (quietly of course). Never seen my 10 year old so attentive when watching someone create Art.

    @@TheVanillatech Thank you ! Before I started filming and editing videos of our little artist's square,there was little or no imformation about the "place du tertre".What was available was lots of negative comments about the artists who worked there.I think my videos have given people proof that that there ARE good artists at Montmartre.I am now 63 years so there are less videos from me now but I still have a few I would like to share.Thank you again for your encouraging comments.

BTW, I loved your drawing in "A pastel portrait Tutorial from the 'Place du Tertre' in Paris." I keep studying how your drawing developed, how easily you moved the pastel pencil and how deceptively simple you make it look to draw. it's not easy. "A pastel portrait Tutorial ..." video is the one I watch the most! Davy, my real name is Tom, and it's very nice to meet you:0)

    You're absolutely right. Buying the best bicycles in the world, for example, does not guarantee a win in the Tour de France. Having said that, quality materials/ supplies does make a difference in competent and talented hands. The talent and the competence have to be there first in order for the materials to have a measurable difference from lesser quality supplies.
