I painted along with you. I painted this in one day by skipping through the dialogue. (I like that it goes slowly.)
Happy with your way of laying down color. This makes more sense to me. I look forward to advancing with other pastel videos.
Thanks for making this easy to do. Great Teaching!

In reply to Leslie Harris. Hi Leslie, There is a "Materials" tab under the video. Clicking on this will reveal the materials with links to purchase if you wish.

Do you list the supplies we need for the lessons?

In reply to matt. I find your teaching very useful. I have learnt far more than I did during 3 years in a London art school . But I too find the chitchat distracting. I just want to focus on what you are doing/saying re the work. I want to concentrate!

In reply to Linda Foote. Hi Linda, This series is considered a class. Classes feature real-time instruction and do not include ebooks. The ebooks are included with the courses.

Hello Matt,
What happened to the resource of the E-book material you usually provide?
If this is not obtainable do you have another resource e-book on your instruction of pastels?
Thanks,

Hi Janice,
I’m sorry to hear that you find the chit chat distracting. These lessons are broadcast live and are meant to be informative and entertaining. The “audience” is our students and we encourage them to ask questions while we are live. This allows us to answer questions directly and help people in real-time. This is meant to be similar to a live class while an instructor is giving a demo. If you are looking for strictly instruction, perhaps you should stick with the courses (not the classes) and the critiques.

In reply to Janice Root. This is a demonstration, rather than a tutorial.

I find the chit-chat distracting, especially the conversation not related to the lesson(s). I think one instructor is sufficient. This is the problem I have with live YouTube tutorials: too many “chiefs” wanting to provide their own input; interruptions to take questions from the audience, which is distracting; and a truncated tutorial due to the constant stops and starts. I was hoping this site would provide a different experience. I’m disappointed.

In reply to Michelle Osborne. Yes, not the best practice. But I am working on a flat surface for recording purposes.
