    40 days ago my dad passed away and really miss him, he loved to paint acquarels. Paul, when you saw your video I felt very happy, I found the teacher who reminds me my dad! Painting, loving, kind! Thank you so much for making these gorgeous videos 🥰

    Re watched these. They really are very informative and I will have a little practice. You do inspire me Paul. Plus I lie the colours you use and the fact you give us alternatives. A lot of artists don't so the attempts we make fail. Always succeed to produce something but not always to your calibre!

    Paul you are a genius. I'm in awe. Every one of these evening skies are absolutely magical. Stunning. I say this with humour.🤣🤣🤣 You're like Mickey Mouse in Fantasia with that paintbrush as a magic wand. Everything that goes on your paper is pure magic. I cant help smiling. It really lifts me up to watch you paint. Nature is a wonderful thing and even more wonderful to be able to capture it all so realistically with a few paint brushes paint and paper. I love painting too but it will be quite some time before I get up to your standard. But still a great joy. I have learned a lot from you. Thank you for all these wonderful videos. God bless you and Margot Susan
