Thank you some much for the details: brush sizes, colors and how to mix them. I’m new to this and have watched a ton of videos. Yours is far and away the best. You are really helping newbies.
You explained just fine. You speak English quite well. How many Americans can speak your language? haha not a lot.. .I have trouble with THICK or HEAVY Indian accents and sometimes THICK (HEAVY) Asian accents, BUT I can understand you just fine! No problem. Just speak slowly and succinctly, and there's no problem! You are doing Great at explaining! You know what you are talking about and demonstrate it at the same time WHILE BEING VIDEO TAPED! BRAVO!
Fine lesson... ideal for beginners (MJSmith is a great artist but too complicated for us, beginners and very hard to do and so very frustrating) That's why I really like your lessons a lot! You give us confidence! Thank you, sir!
As usual ... your teaching is really great. However, you can no longer fool me into thinking it is easy ... LOL. But I will continue to try, try, and try again! These are so useful .... keep up the good work.

I want to be an expert pentress ..If the weather will allow to do these things. thanks for being a good demostrator ..it so clearly and I impressed your style so much . . good luck for more ..
Thank you for your easy to follow techniques. It's good to know how to use different brushes for making foliage and leaves, eg. fan brush vs flat brush in these paintings! TFS...
My name is Roberta Champion and I am a painter of wood stains on wood canvases only. I've been doing it for a little over a year and I am using anywhere from walnut, pine, redwood as well as poplar wood. Majority of my wood canvases are on reclaimed wood. I hope you like my work! This is pinewood painted with solid,natural and semi wood stains to achieve this effect. Painted with brushes and my fingers. _plus.google.com/photos/..._
