    I have watched hundreds of watercolour videos on KZread and I can definitively say that your demos are the very best in the classical time honored tradition of watercolour. Please continue with the excellent work.

    The actual picture size is about half-imperial, about 14’’ x 22’’. There is a video which covers all my painting equipment and materials on my website. Just scroll through the video page on www.andrewpitt.co.uk Perspex, clear acrylic, can be tricky to cut by hand but nowadays there are many businesses which will cut it for you with a laser cutter which gives a cleaner cut. Hope this helps. I’m not really a handyman. Thanks for your interest.

    That’s a good point, Dana, if Team Pitt could do that going forward that would be useful. In the meantime, I find that taking a screenshot on my mobile of the image, eg Leiston Abbey in this case, and having that open next to me works well.
