I love how you teach with passion, I would listen to you all day, so calm, make it simple, explains all of your color mixing and their purpose, very useful tips and you make me believe that I too can do it, one step at a time. Thanks a lot!

You are an amazing painter and teacher. I am mainly a digital and watercolor painter, but after feeling bored I decided I wanted to brush up on my oil paintin' skills. I have learned more in a few hours of watching your videos than I have through trial and error over that last 15 years. I understand the fundamentals now and don't feel like I'm blinding painting until something hopefully makes sense. Even darker tones/shadows are less intimidating now. Thank you so much!!!!

As usual: an essential point and your outstanding common sense. Hands are present in many portraits. Moreover: they are key elements of expression in any scene. I got stuck trying to draw portraits because some artists leave the hands unfinished, sketched in quick impressionist srokes. You have to find a model of hand to fitthere: same size and position. Finally you get bored with a collection of hand models and portraits... I´ll have to use my left hand, as you sketch it. With a mirror it can be turned into a right hand. By chance I happened to heard you talking about poor draftmanship and mentioning David Hockney's BBC documentary. I watched it: it helps to keep on and not give up. Also the example of Van Gogh's "heavy hand" and his hard work to overcome that pychomotor handicap at the Cormon academy 4 years after his dead and having as fellow students Emil Bernard and Toulouse Lautrec. Prodigy child E. Bernard ended wasting his gift as draftstman. T. Lautrec succeeded thanks to his draughtmanship...but still Van Gogh went much farther despite his motor disability. Thanks , once again, for your practical lessons.
