"Almost like a stained glass window in nature."

Yes, that's it exactly. Your observation skills, coupled with your way with words, are the perfect adjunct to your videos. Lovely work!

Looking forward to seeing what you do with the inktense pencils in the next episode.

You're getting there now Colin (not sure I am - I can't seem to replicate that very dark green and your flicks with the brush for the foreground grass look a lot more convincing then mine) but I'll push on to the final stage and see what comes of it 🤞

I think slowing down is something I must work on. I'm speedy and like instant gratification!
Watching your layering and the painting coming to life was mesmerizing. Beautifully done.
