As I’m watching this, I’m remembering your video about not drawing with charcoal that I watched yesterday…. Watching this, I realize you are working with these paints exactly the same as you did with the charcoal (with the blending, erasers, & sponges! ). It makes perfect sense now!
Thank you.

I am a beginner but am loving your videos! I tried to replicate one of your birds and I was blown away. The grid is brilliant, and all the other techniques you share. I'll be over here devouring your videos! Thank you!

Always great videos Daniel. Just finished a massive lion painting and I'm "satisfied " with it but my fur details need some fine tuning. I called it good enough and it's now hanging on my livingroom wall. Now I can watch your tutorials and stare at my painting to see where I went wrong (or at least not quite right) haha

Key point color variation. But subtle

Amazing video. I’m really trying to create that soft yet detailed effect on my subjects. Currently working on a horse.
