I find these quick demo videos very instructive and encouraging. As an artist just starting out in oil painting, the opportunity to see a short demonstration with such good information is wonderful. Thanks.

I was wondering what he was doing walking around with those big, colorful poster boards!

Although I am a portrait sculptor I really appreciated the tips I found in the article about mastering portrait painting by Ron Hicks. Some of the ideas can certainly be applied to sculpture and I am sure I will share them with my students.

I rarely write anything on this type of format but your painting is so striking I just had to write something.

This painting is so fresh and alive. For me, its totally about the sudden connection with the deer (not the grass and all of the background). I would consider it finished as is rather than going on to paint every blade of grass.
