I stumbled on this video as I was getting ready to try to "save" a portrait I'm doing of a child. You probably saved me from yet another frustrating afternoon of painting. I will take your 6 pieces of advice, one at a time and learn properly. Why wouldn't I? Look at your beautiful paintings! THANK YOU!

I have just discovered you Scott. I have been attending classes in painting with oils for nearly 10 years and they way you teach has taught me so much more than I have absorbed over those years. Your detailed explanations really helps the information sink in because it makes sense. THANK YOU Scott. I will treasure your videos and also share your videos with my art colleagues.

I heard in a film about being a sniper shooting a rifle, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast". Thanks for the advice Scott, very much.
