    Thank you so much for showing a better way to deal with cauliflowers. The desire to work to long on an area that you think is still wet enough is really a temptation.

    Thank you, that's the first time I've actually understood what was going wrong with my washes, and a way to try and fix as well.

    Wow, spent months trying to find out how to paint so that it looked nice and the way I wanted it to. Cannot count the videos that I watched without understanding my problem. Then I watched this video and all of a sudden everything is clear. You tell everything in a way that makes it easy to understand. Of course I have to practice a lot to get as good as I would like to be though now I have fun. When knowing why and how to paint, it is such a pleasure. Also when making a mistake - I now know what I did wrong and can correct it. Thank you soooooo muxh. In my opinion you are the best teacher that I have ever seen and heard.

      Did you know, using a reduced palette of only three pigments eliminates the chances of getting mud at all?

    Very helpful. My paintings suffer from a lot of cauliflowering. However, I'm quite unwilling to go over some washes because I've got some nice shapes by lifting paint off with a tissue and I worry that I cannot replicate the same shapes. 😂

    Thanks, Eric...i quite enjoyed the harbour painting, it was kind of magical (to me) how the clouds and sky worked...also, thinking about light to dark, i think that i miss out the multi-layered approach to waterm and even how it works in ship's hull. Always a pleasure!

    Don’t believe we control water but work with it and as a beginner either go to wet or to dry. It’s a challenge know even best artists deal with it.

      @@mikesamovarov4054 It’s a legit question - and nothing to do with OCD or perfectionism. If you don’t know the answer, or prefer not to answer, just say so. Don’t resort to unfounded assumptions about a person.

      If it's dry there's not much you can do but accept it 😅
      However, if it's in an area that you'll paint darker value on, you will just cover them up no problem.
