    This video really demonstrates a lot of techniques quickly: creating a gradient palette, mixing, brush treatment, blending strokes. You show more than you tell, move very efficiently, and mix in your own personal tips/tricks. Everything is well lit and easy to see and follow - thanks so much!

    Hi Felix & Wifey, I have struggled for so long with getting the first blended layer on my canvas. So I have done a lot of stressing each time I did a painting and sometimes took me a good few hours to start because of this. I have watched this video a couple of times and decided I would give it a try. I'M SO HAPPY you have solved my problem. Thank you so much I have found your method much easier and now I'm not afraid to start my paintings anymore. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. Sheila.

    That is such a good idea to “lay out” your colour mixes on the pallet before you start, I have never thought of doing that before which is probably why one colour is pretty much dry by the time I get to start the next and I have so much trouble blending... so clever! I also like your brush blending.. so often I “lose” my lighter colours... will,definitely give this a try. Stunning result! Thank you

    This was so fun to watch! Loved the blending method and I did hear a Bob Ross comment, "A happy little mistake." Loved it.
