Good to discover your channel. On top of the clear description of colour and form, I'm impressed by the steady hand control of the brush when applying paint, just where you want it, where you want it without being "tight". Thanks for the experience.
This is fantastic! Love the simplicity of the presentation as well. Thank you so much!

Searching the internet I found your videos informative at a time when I needed inspiration, technical help and general creativity. Most of my summer is taking inspiring photographs with some quick sketches and quick paintings along the way. Living in Canada on Manitoulin Island every corner has incredible views and trying to simplify a controlled painting can be difficult. Thank you.

Great job explaining and demonstrating transition colors, Ian. I am really looking forward to your Monument Valley trip. I haven't spent as much time in the area in the past couple of years, but I used to go there and photograph specific areas for future paintings. I'm running out of photographs so I guess a trip is coming up in my future. 🤔
