Hi, saraht4973 - We are happy that you enjoyed the program and that you wrote - thank you so much! Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie
Thank you for touching on the subject of the Luminists (1850-1875). There are very few sources on this subject, my primary one being Wilmerding's book, "American Light". These ideas have greatly influenced my own landscapes in both painting and photography.
Dear Dave - Thank you so much for watching and for your comments. We are delighted you enjoyed it. It was amazing being at the location where Kensett painted - very moving. John Wilmerding's book, "American Light" is a wonderful book! Good luck with yo7u painting. Kind regards, David and Connie
Thank you Linda 009 - What a fabulous comment - we so appreciate it! Thank you for watching our program and then writing to us. We loved being near where Kensett's studio was - definitely so inspiring. If you would like a live online workshop with David, you can also join our live online Tuesdays workshops for additional live workshops and optional personal critiques (www.daviddunlop.com). We would love to see you there. Kind regards, David and Connie

I'm somewhat of a beginner and absolutely taken with Kensett. Hoping to do a study of Summer Day on Conesus Lake. This was very helpful as a way to start thinking about his technique. Thank you!
Dear Katie - Thank you so much for watching and for your very kind words about John Frederick Kensett! It was magical to be able to paint where he painted. We're delighted you enjoyed it! Kind regards, David and Connie

Well done, David. Loved the history. Loved the minimalism… so rich, soft, vibrant and full of light. There’s a deep, luxurious tranquility imbued upon the viewer that makes one want to spend an eternity captivated in its thrall.

Dear Vickie - Thank you for writing. David has worked with most of his students for many years and ALWAYS asks them if they would like him to demonstrate his comments and thoughts on their paintings, which is a time honored process of teaching painting. We realize that others may have different thoughts about this process and have a different method of teaching. His students always want to watch his different ideas on their painting so that they can continue to learn and also to use the techniques themselves in the future. These are works to continue learning new techniques and compositions. And yes, they still consider that they painted the paintings and may keep or change David's changes to the paintings. Thank you for your thoughts. Kind regards, Connie and David
Dear George - Thank you so much for watching and writing to us. That is such a great comment about teaching methods. Kathy is one of David's students and, as we mentioned, consented to and requested David's comments and changes. His students use these moments with David as experiences for learning different techniques and thoughts and appreciate his efforts. We understand that certain painters and teachers have different preferences, and David would never touch a student's painting without their explicit consent and desire. Thank you! Kind regards, Connie
Overpainting a student's work is not an honorable teaching technique...so bad i cannot watch. As he says..if IWANT...his student is broken. Its NOT fun to paint " with" him...its demeaning. EGOIST

David is a compelling teacher, but his brutal highjacking of his pupil’s painting is deplorable at best.
