Painted this once some time ago (before watching your video) and my painting did not come close to yours. I will try doing it again with your system and hope it would come out better. Many thanks.

Could you please share where you purchased your table easel? I have recently subscribed to your channel and have been enjoying your videos. They are very well done and informative.

stunning.
I was wondering what your opinion on Derwent watercolour pencils might be ?

[kikkupop]

is it better to use the tube watercolours instead of the discs?

[angelique]

Amazing style. What type of paper did you use. It looks so smooth.
