Thank you so much, I have learned a lot by watching your 3 part demo.

Thanks so much Brian. I liked your big 4 of drawing, values colour and edges (I think). Also like your brush stroke efficiency. I have just started painting though been drawing off and on for years. Ive got the bug you might say. Some of the photos I want to paint are short on values so your series helps me get the most out of whats there. Cheers.

Great video!! A lot of great ideas. I’ve been painting for a while and I live watching mothers to gain more knowledge. With that being said, I was curious about you pallette. Is that something you’ve made or did you purchase it?

[@stanleyjett8675]

Why do you use a black and white photo?

[@annefuller7936]

He addressed this in an earlier video. He does this to see the values and get them correct.

[@stanleyjett8675]

Whats that stick?

[@annefuller7936]

That is his Mal stick to stabilize his hand as he draws

You can use any rod like that and scrunch up a piece of cloth in another cloth and tie it on with a rubber band.

this guy is saying a lot of stuff that isnt crap- which is unusual for a youtube paint demo- pay attention, even if you dont work the same way.
