    It was great to hear why you chose your colours, Jean Lurssen. And thank you for demonstrating your little painting; each work you paint contains a diamond or three of important painting tips.

    Shout out from this Novatoan! New to your channel and am very appreciative of the color conversations. So very helpful. I can see where I need to start just playing with the paints, without looking to “create”. I have much to learn, and your approach takes the pressure off. Thank you for this gift.

    Hi Jean, I’d love to try some of your paintings, but think it might be a good idea to invest in some acrylic and/or watercolour ink. Could you tell me how you choose to use a watercolour or acrylic ink with watercolour paints please? The advantages / disadvantages of using each with paint? Many thanks 😊
