I don't know what to add to the other comments. They seem to have it covered. lol... it's just so lovely to watch someone who is as passionate about the ocean as I am. And your dedication to getting the perfect colours. You just nail it every time. Can't thank you enough for sharing it with us.
You are so kind
I second Paulettes comment wholeheartedly! You’re so enjoyable to watch. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Paulette for expressing what I was thinking better than I could 😁
I started learning to paint. I went to the dollor store bought the basics. Have fallin in love hard. To the point I dont know what I am painting till its done. For me its like a no brainer. I do not have one single thing on my mind the whole time. It's way better than therapy or any medication I've ever taken. Although I have to say it's not better than traveling through the 3rd eye I've actually took a vacation to heaven and it was awesome, it was free.
Thanks for the ideas. It looks like I am in your painting. I found myself waiting for you to paint me walking on the beach. It hit me, I wamt to pant people in my paintings. I love people, Each of you are so unique and beautiful. People are magical.
Blessing to everyone
Thanks so much, happy painting!
Absolutely gorgeous!!! Scary as hell as a beginner to look at something so amazing and thinking, how the hell is that a painting. Just wow!!!
Thank you! Cheers!

I can feel the movement of the water in your painting. I’ve never been able to achieve the look you have here. Beautiful!
Thank you so much 😀
That’s amazing. I’ve learned a lot by watching. Thanx

It’s amazing to me, how you go over areas with different colors, but it’s never muddy, I think it’s in the hands, like a musician, some guys are heavy handed, others are smooth, you def are in the Smooth category, I’m watching you and I still am amazed how you did this...and one thing you have ...is patience, great job!
There's a lot of time on the brushes my friend :) A lot of it is simply practise practise and more practise!

Awesome, thank you!
I've watched many, many, waves on the beach tutorials. OMGoodness, this is lovely, and I think I can actually do this. Well try anyway... Will have to re-watch a bit though. Thank you so very much. You got yourself another subscriber.
Thanks so much 😊
Excellent video! Thank you for the valuable painting lessons.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comments!
I'm so in love with this painting
thank you so much :)
Love this - its so awesome to see tutorials that represent the colours of the Australian beach, sand and water. Many tutorials from overseas artists are great in their own right, but not representative of what we see here :)
You are so welcome!
Thank you for the Knowledge. It kind of makes me understand why I fell into his painting as he was painting it.. It is very realistic in my opinion and I've never seen anything about Australia. If it's like this painting it's extremely beautiful.
Hi there. I came across your paintings for the first time. It's just wow I am going to try out step by step following you. I am from India.
Thank you, keep going with ur work

I have recently found your videos. You are amazing..your water paintings look like photographs! I am still a novice, self taught over the last few years. You have helped me tremendously! Thank you for taking the time!
You are so welcome! Glad you're getting something out of my ramblings :)
I just found you on youtube and watched most of your episodes. Found the one with your lovely family and your spunky wife!! I hope you see enough of your art to live on. Your talent is far beyond the others I have watched (and believe ive watched a lot). I am sorry for your health problems but happy your talent is intact and that you are thriving. I just picked up painting during the pandemic to ward of dementia lol. I am short of novice!! But enjoy the process and learning. Thank you for sharing your time and I hope it pays off for you. I absolutely love how you teach and paint. OCD aside, you seem like a pretty ok fellow!!!
Thanks for your kind comments Susan. Healthwise I'm all good - clear of cancer and loving life. Hope you're enjoying life too! Cheers Mark W.

You are so welcome!
Beautiful! Thanks for the great tips.
Thanks for watching!
J'aime beaucoup une façon très particulière de peindre, et de mettre en valeur les éléments majeurs de la toile. On a presque envie de courir dans les vagues qui terminent leur course. Et puis cette façon de gratter la toile pour essuyer le pinceau, j'adore. Cette ombre à la fin de la vaguelette donne de l'épaisseur à l'eau et un effet de réel. j'adore !
Merci beaucoup pour vos gentils commentaires!
I applied your techniques in my Photoshop digital art and it still works even there, thanks sir.
Fantastic!
Beautiful art!
Amazing work👌🌺💐
Thank you! Cheers!
Excellent and impressive, thanks
