I totally amazed that you were doing such a complex drawing, and how quick you were and describing each step. I have been drawing and watercolor ing since I was seven and I am turning 80 next month. You have shown me more in that one composition then I learned from my many many art classes. Thank You!

Thanks! I studied near Portofino. .Many villages nearby look like this as well. It's so complex that it's intimidating. Thanks to help me through no about the process and simplify -now I can tackle my many reference photos with a bit more confidence.

Scottie Wish your quick recovery. Last summer when i first encountered your beginner video I have taken two semesters of urban sketch courses and a watercolor course. I practiced your style before the semester began. I always use dot methods

Nice work. I really appreciate you specifically noting when you dry. So many artists just assume their audience knows when to dry or clean their brush.
