Thanks for this video! I always enjoyed drawing seashells but I never seemed to be able to paint them, I guess I didn’t think of waiting until the layers dried properly. It was so much fun watching you doing it and the painting turned out so amazing I want to give it another try! I was so fascinated I never noticed your heater …..
It seems to me your style changed during this year somehow …. I really like it!
AND BTW, will you tell us what Rich Boden sends you in return for the Splatter Brush 😉 ?

I forgot to add, the way you explained the “three steps” along with the picture of the color mixes was very helpful!

A lovely painting, and I learned a lot! That green shell is so pretty and unusual! Yes, we can hear the furnace, and the other things that turn on while you film, but they are NEVER so loud or annoying that we can’t still CLEARLY hear every word you say! I know it freaks you out when they come on, but truly, they don’t interfere with hearing you. Relax, we’re all good with the sound! It’s 72 in Florida, so thanks for the falling snow on screen…I’m pretending it’s cold and Christmas-y out! I hope you’re having a relaxing evening, and thanks for all you do for us!

Thanks for this video, and for keeping it real. I like the longer time frame, and just to let you know…the furnace doesn’t bother me nearly as much as it does you.
