    I just now discovered this...many of the botanical artists use very tiny spotter or liner brushes...you made me realize it is completely artist preference.. I love your thoughtful approach to all things watercolor.

    Botanical's are my very favorite. I love how you show us how to glaze and blend. It's just so very helpful. As far as botanical's are concerned what can be better than to study the workings and beauty of nature. I also want you to know that I love that you are a gentleman which is getting harder to find these days.

    For me these tutorials are hitting the right spot. Really appreciate them - thank you. I'm told I've produced some half-decent watercolour pictures in the past but I've always been aware that my techniques are pretty woeful. So having decided to go back to basics and learn good (and lasting) techniques I stumbled across your tutorials - and they are easily the best I've found. Much appreciated...
