    Thank you for showing all the other artist's work. It is so helpful to be reminded that art is art. There is no wrong way to do it. They were all very unique and I really enjoyed seeing them all!

    Our neighbour’ s visiting peacock pair would enter my house if I opened my frenchdoors. I watch them preen everyday and wonder where to even start painting these magnificent creatures .
    You have inspired me and now I’m ready to attempt them. Great tutorial .THANKS!

    I can paint in watercolour and acrylics and people like my work, but I Just LOVE to sit and watch a good artist at work. People like watching fish swimming in a tank (hospitals say that is soothing) well for me watching artists paint is a great Relaxant. So soothing. MAGIC ✍️🖍🎨✏️ Thank you for maintaining your Free tutorials.

    The art with the park bench and dogs reminds me of a funny peacock story. Our local zoo had a large flock that ran loose. Several years ago I took a friend to the zoo, who was wheelchair bound and had two service dogs (one was trained with a multitude of skills, but too old for the heavy work, and a younger dog in training able to pull and support). The peacocks were fascinated with the dogs.. they wouldn't leave us alone. We wound up touring the zoo with me, my friend, her two dogs, five kids between us... an entire flock of twenty or so peacocks.. and a crowd of human onlookers. It was the weirdest zoo train ever lol.

    Paul - I can't thank you enough for all of these amazing tutorials to help those of us in our painting journey. You make it a lot of fun. And easy. I am not the greatest sketcher although I am continuing to learn and taking classes as well. BUT it is great when I just want to get painting to use your drawings and get on with it. But there is ALWAYS a little 'niggling' going on in my mind that says this is cheating. But I am working to 'quiet that voice'. Without your help often I would not begin to try and paint so please accept my gratitude. Keep on!

    Thank you for another superb tutorial. The loose version of painting the peacock is very inspiring. We have plenty of peacocks in the open spaces around. See them perched on trees and rooftops, flying, displaying their amazing plumage and of course, calling out to each other so compellingly that one feels like answering back.

This is the first time I heard the sound a peacock. I know different bird sounds like the rooster or the goose and many others. But this is the first time I heard a peacock's cry. And I must say that remembering from your previous video you spoke about the brands of watercolor. I need to get a good brand. Maybe these brands I am using is not so good. I will have to search in the stores for a good brand that shows up brightly on paper. Thank you again for this awesome video.
