    Thanks so much, Louise. I love these shorter videos! I just received my first commission for a painting and after watching your videos I know it’s time to play, play, play and press into my own language with the paints and tools I have. I told them I would paint 3 canvases (in the size they requested,) in a series and they could pick one or none. I don’t want the pressure to please…and asked them to think on how they want the finished piece to make them “feel” when they see it each day.

    which I plan to get. I'm no so great with a brush so without these tools, I would be in trouble. Thanks again Louise!

    Can I sand with sandpaper on a layered canvas? Or only on wood board? Obviously an orbital sander would rip canvas, but maybe not a fine sand paper? In order to show some of the bottom, under painting and layers? Has anyone tried this?
