    From the depth of the Sonora Desert (Arizona) how refreshing, how green and blue! All through the demo, I held my breath, the tree on the left is too fuzzy, too soft... then with seconds to spare walla! Sunlight, and the fuzzy tree has form. Thank you. Excellent demo!

After becoming disabled last year at only 41 yrs old I started taking my painting serious and it has saved my life. Your teaching has cleared up so many mistakes I had been making. Much respect and you have a big fan here for life. Thanks again.

    Loved your video as usual Graham. I think your greatest attribute as a 'teacher' is sharing your vulnerability as the painting develops from am idea in your mind, to a statement on the paper. You don't know exactly what is going to emerge but with experience and confidence you do achieve your objective and this gives the viewers hope that they too are just as vulnerable to this testing medium as you are.....but with practice it can be done! thank you from Cape Town.

I think I have one, it looks fantastic for painting branches. Do you twirl it around, while you paint? I was trying to see that... Thank you so much for taking us all on a trip though bluebell land.❤️

    I don't really twirl it Maria. Instead it is more like little quick jerky movements to create the twigs. If you paint too slowly, the twigs can become rounded instead of being relatively straight.

    Apologies for the late reply to this Millie. I use a swordliner from Rosemary and Co, quarter inch series 770. These brushes are quite floppy when wet but it is important to use them almost horizontally. If you point them down at a painting they will tend to drip and be much more difficult to control
