    I watched your “sitting in the truck” painting first, stumbling onto your channel looking for something else, and I felt instantly like kin. Haha. My mother and I just picked up four neo ii crayons and three woody crayons to test and compare and check out. We have decided to order the 30 pack of neo I and break them all in half, putting half in an Altoids tin for her and the other in a separate one for me. The idea is that mine will stay in he car and hers will stay w her while I work. Then if we like them and use them enough, we will invest a little more in them. Both of your videos on these made me feel way more confident in this decision, as I was super worried I’d not know where to start w them. Your no-nonsense, roll with it attitude is so calming and encouraging. I hope you know you will make a difference for many of you keep up these little teaching sessions, dragging us along w you on your imperfect and real-life adventures. By the way, both of these have made me miss my Rockies badly, but I can live vicariously through you as I wait for my time to return to them! Thanks for sharing w us here.

    Cutting that watercolour block with your left hand so near the blade is so dangerous! One slip and you might lose at best your fingers, at worst your life. Always clamp items that are close to a blade, trust me on this I have been woodworking for well over sixty years and have seen accidents happen due to such carelessness. Always remember, the most important thing in a workshop area is yourself. Other than that a good video, thank you for taking the time and trouble to post.

    Neocolor 2 always saves my "failed" paintings 😄 I adore them as a top layer, not so much as a base layer since they lift too easily. I love how you emphasized the subtle differences in color. I'm trying to get better at that, but I have a longstanding bad habit of precisely matching local colors, which ends up boring.

    • @PaintWithPencil

      Great comment. I feel like I'm more bold with my color in the fall. It has been hard to translate that to the summer scenes when it's all green. I often end up just making it look muddy. But it's fun to practice. Thanks for watching.
