Thankyou for yet another helpful video. Its only 12 months since I started painting at age 79 years old. It took me all these years to work up the courage helped by your advice. I finally took the plunge to help one of my grandaughters who was suffering from a very long and severe (over 6 months) case of long Covid. She had become so depressed. But with your videos we started painting together and it made a big difference to her outlook. So thanks once again.👍

Oh thank you Nancy, that's very kind!

I loved your answer about your favorite part of teaching painting. I am a retired 3rd grade teacher & my favorite part of teaching was also that squeal of delight & joy when they realized that they actually got the concept I was teaching them. What a joy it was to hear their little voices rise & to see those sweet smiles. I miss it.

Blimey! You should paint fish more often. As a keen pike fisherman, I feel that the classic 'pike lurking among the weeds' would make an intriguing subject. Whilst the scene is possibly a bit hackneyed, the play of dappled greenish light might be interesting to evoke.

Ik dacht dat het niet kon, maar het kan toch. Het blijft vaag, de verf trekt in het doek. Maar het geeft een Prachtig resultaat.

A very helpful video and I’ll have a go at the fish. I have watched all the Q & A tutorials but I don’t think I’ve seen any or many tips on trouble shooting, trying to put right areas when things go wrong. I follow the tutorials, hanging on your every word as I try to copy instruction. I always think I’ll make it my own but sometimes that’s difficult to do, must be my lack of natural creativity. So when my paint won’t do what I expect it to, I want to correct it but don’t know how.
