    It was great to hear why you chose your colours, Jean Lurssen. And thank you for demonstrating your little painting; each work you paint contains a diamond or three of important painting tips.

    I learn a lot from your tutorials. My interest is California landscapes. I love your description of your work, for ex. In this video. Sometimes It is hard to see your work as you cover it with your hands as you speak. If feedback is of interest for you. Thanks for your beautiful work.

    Hi Jean! I love hearing your process of selecting the color palette for your beautiful paintings. Your work has a complexity and power to it with abstracted forms. I am a big indigo/gold and limited palette fan as well. Your voice is so calm and you are always so encouraging! Gorgeous work.

Could you tell me how you choose to use a watercolour or acrylic ink with watercolour paints please? The advantages / disadvantages of using each with paint? Many thanks 😊
