I’m only half way through this lesson but have learned so much already, particularly listening to your dilemmas with tight and loose, thought that was just me. It’s great to hear what you are actually thinking as well as doing. Thank you.

In reply to Chris Hallas.

Hello Chris, when following a lesson I usually compare my results with the results of the teacher. Of course my own result looks different and of course most often I am a bit disappointed about many own result. Most often if I leave the painting over night and the next day I look at it with a fresh approach I find it much better than when I left it the day before. Because the day before I did compare it with the teachers work. But the next day I do not compare it with the teachers result but look at it with “my own view”.
About the brushes: in the UK there is an excellent company where you could mail order or buy brushes online. They offer an amazing variety and outstanding quality at reasonable prices. The name of the company is “Rosemary”. Sometimes I do order from them when I cannot get the right brushes for me here in Germany. In my personal opinion most often their brushes are better quality even than the German high-end “Da Vinci” brand at a more reasonable price.
This is just my personal opinion and perhaps it was a bit helpful I hope. Greetings from Germany Hamida

Love how you keep telling us to not get too hung up on perfectionism. That’s helping me and as you say the finished article is unique. I love your pic! I have to keep trying to hear your voice of reason when I get so wound up about accuracy. It would be so easy to get discouraged. I’m finding that if I keep going, even when I think it’s not looking right, it seems to turn out ok in the end:). Btw can’t get those brushes in uk. All my brushes are too soft. Any recommendations? Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt, enjoying this series and learning so much. It’s really helpful when you have the photo reference and your palate on the screen to follow the process more easily and see how you mix the colours. Love all your commentary and encouragement, keeps me persevering! Thanks 🙂
