    Wow, I've been watching some tutorials on waves. Yours is by far the BEST one. I've struggled as a new painter with waves. But you sir have taught me where others have failed. Thank you!

    I am so thankful for you and this study! I cannot begin to tell you the total difference you have just made for me! You have completely changed my painting life. I am a beginner. I have been painting for 14 months and decided this new year of 2019 I wanted to advance my skills. You have just helped me! My husband was in the Navy and has been wanting me to paint his ship. I told him I am to amateur and did not know how. I can do it now since I can paint the ocean thanks to you! This is my first video I found of yours. I am now going to search for them all and watch them! You are an amazing teacher and so easy to understand because you explain things so well! Words cannot express my appreciation for you enough!

      Excellent! Your comment on that video was one of the reasons I made this, in addition to many others who were struggling with the water over the past few months. Its hard to go into this much depth on one specific technique in a tutorial.

    Thank you so much for sharing your techniques....guess I'm a painter who learns more from watching than reading about how to do waves because I've read about so many different "ways" to paint them, and, I've learned MORE from this video than from all I've read.
    Please keep making the tutorials and "complete picture" videos if you do make them. (This is the first video of yours which I've watched.). Thanks again.

    I'm not good at this. But I come from the Bay. It's fine to have darker up front, if you're offshore. But next to land, the shallower the greener real ocean water will be.
    If I were such an expert 😁I wouldn't be here 🌴😇
    Thanks for the tutorial

    The sample that you did earlier in your kitchen was perfect. I love it. But the painting that you did as an illustration is not realistic. It does not look like a sea. It's like unmoved mountains covered with strips of cloth. Those white thing are too many.
