    Alan
    You're your own worst critic my friend; there's nothing wrong with this painting. Many folks would love your ability. But you have to realise that it's not just your paintings that people like; it's your manner, your style, your warm personality that attracts us folks on the internet.
    You're a good bloke Alan who tries to entertain us and share your knowledge; so pat yourself on the back and be proud of what you're doing on here.

    @RobertJonesWightpaint 10 років тому +8

    Alan, that was fascinating - and as so often, you go and apologize for it! You really don't need to - there was a marvellous lesson in there, and I'm sure many of us have learned from it. Sorry you weren't feeling too well, but I think the weather got you down a bit (it certainly has that effect on me when it's wet and 'orrible). I do admire the way you go straight in with the pen and ink, with no preliminary pencil work, and still get clean, straight lines in all the right places: even when working uphill for the benefit of the camera. Don't knock yourself, lad!

    • @AlanOwen

    I always learn something new when you post a video - especially the way you use light and colour. You are such good company and I miss seeing you paint when you need to take a break. As far as the rain and background noise, no worries! It makes us all feel like we are there with you sharing a cup of tea and learning to pain. Thank you again and please paint whenever you feel up to it :)) I'm a big fan of your work and style.

    Back in BC, the sun's 'cracking the flagstones'.
    I'm putting our house on the market and looking forward to our return to UK when I hope I can come and see you again from time to time. You're an inspiration to all of us 'dawbers'.
    Hope your health keeps up and Mrs. Owen gets better.

I am a newby with watercolour (6 years) and have difficulty in finding classes, with only 3 or 4 workshops a year. Watching artists such as yourself is the only way I get to try techniques and styles. Please keep posting and I hope you are feeling much better now. Thank you

    Alan - another thank you - this time from Nova Scotia. I enjoy your videos so much! It's quite amazing to watch what seem at first like random blotches of colour transform into beautiful, light filled landscapes.
    It's very generous of you to share your approach so freely with us. My work has improved a great deal as a result, it's becoming bolder and looser, and I'm sure that is true for many others all across the world.
    By the way, I picked up a copy of a magazine today, and it was great to see your work featured in it! Thanks again!
