As always, elucidating and immediately applicable. You're one of the only teachers I keep returning to, as you get to the heart of the teaching so quickly and it's always profound. Time is precious, and you don't ask that we sit through a prolonged lecture to get to your actionable points. In the world of online, self-driven learning, your style of teaching (warm, welcoming, clear) and instinct to get-to-it, could't be more appreciated. Thanks so much for your ongoing work, as it's demanding to create this content, and I want you to be sure to know how valuable, useful and treasured it is.
I just went on to see how professional artists hold their brushes, saw both of them were holding the brush the same way! I was holding the brush near the tip ! The way fingers folded were different! and found this recent video now!
Thank you so much Matthew, your tuition and friendship is making a genuine difference to me and I'm sure many others too. The brushwork is an aspect of our craft that beginners don't take much heed of, but I think that it's like so many other things that it's very difficult to ' unlearn' bad habits that we have already picked up along the way, I know that I did. I returned to this video again to listen but also to view those beautiful shadows on the walls of the canal painting that you used for the demo'. Take care, David.
yep, absolutely the stage im working on, trying out different approaches, studying other painters as I slowly begin to find my own voice. Its important i think not to be afraid to mess up - every painting is part of the journey, nothing is a final statement - i use both sides of any sheet of paper, the good stuff is pricey - so funnily enough I find im more relaxed when im working on a sheet of paper ive already used one side of. Thanks for the great movies Matt.
When you spoke about how to hold a brush, I had a vision of Geoff Kersey trying to hold his far towards the back. 😏Seriously though, I have a tendency to use a death grip on mine. This is a good reminder to relax more during the process. Thanks!
Matthew, hi 🌺 I am your subscriber from Pakistan, so far your shared techniques have been very useful to me. 🎯 However, i am still STRUGGLING to capture the Rainy season and Night Street life, Cold you please help, I keep messing up with the pool of colors while doing brightly lit Night scene or smooth shadows on rainy nights. Your guidance will really be helpful.

The shadow of your camera and tripod on the landscape behind it looks like a foreground palm tree in the painting.
