What a lovely picture you created. I learned SO MUCH about approaching “collaging” in a whole new way. It is imminently doable and less daunting than how I normally collage. Your techniques blew my mind as it exploding with new ideas. Thank you for sharing!

There is a beautiful thread that winds its way through the comments here. It is the word INSPIRED. This is the first time coming across your channel and what a lucky day for me. Your warm delivery and wonderful Talent have moved something that has been stuck in my creative heart, I am really grateful. Wish I knew stronger words than thank you. 🥰

I really shouldn’t enjoy your painting, but I’m strangely drawn into it and want to explore it myself. Thanks for challenging my curiosity! Can’t wait to see more…

So glad i found you on You Tube. I used to watch you a lot on skillshare but haven't seen you in awhile. Now that I am more into mixed media and teach a little group I am excited to see your tutorials again. You are one of the artists I most respect that I watched on Skillshare. I don't use Skillshare as much and am glad to be able to subscribe to your wonderfull work.

Awesome! Thank you! Glad we reconnected. Yes, I drifted away from SkillShare after they changed the rate they pay teachers.
I've just stumbled on your channel and find your style very inspiring and freeing, especially for my overthinking brain. Great therapy! Many thanks for the tutorial Robert.

I’ve never tried collage before but I’m inspired to try, this looks amazing. I also like how you used the pencil in the titanium white while it was wet, I’m going to try that on my next painting!

WOW so happy to have found your channel! looking forward to watching all of your videos. You mentioned heavy body matte acrylic paint - does that really exist? It seems that all the matte options are either medium or soft…..Hmmmmm.

Glad we connected. Oh, I did misspeak on that, thanks for catching it. I will for sure that I use Holbein brand and they are pretty thick, tho. Hope this helps
i love the playfulness. it helped me to loosen up my one art and dareness to paint. but, the sound volume is far to low, just that you know.

So pleased to have found you. I really like the way you share your skills and wow, just love what you create! I'm off to my studio to explore. Bit of a pedestrian question - what glue do you use? I haven't found the one that suits me yet... Thank you

LOVE IT! You make it look so easy and fun. I was curious if you could share where the long bristle brush is from ? Also what kind of pencil you are using? Love the combination of paint, collage and drawing. Very whimsical but sophisticated also

Loose and playful! Great technique. I’m going to apply some of this, I think my collages have become too structured. What kind of pencil are you using?
