  My heart is all swollen up with gratitude for your tutorial here. &nbsp;I lost a 91-year old very dear friend/neighbor/mentor/professional painter who had been so generously teaching <br>me and helping me improve for the last 3 years; we painted together almost every day. &nbsp;She drilled into my head most of what you teach here (“don’t think if it as a face, just spots and shapes”, she said) however your explanations are concise and demo is so straightforward. &nbsp;I understand half tone and its purpose much better now. &nbsp;I haven’t had the heart to paint for a while now because it only made me feel her absence so painfully, BUT, now I am ready to get going on a whole lot of self- portraits for practice, then a whole lot of other ones I have in mind. &nbsp;Thank you so much.

  Your teaching is extremely interesting. You don&apos;t tease us with music or noise called music. Your speech is clear. <br>Besides, you are an artist. What more could you ask for! <br>If anyone wants to learn how to make a good lesson, these are the ones. Many thanks!

  This is &quot;the&quot; demo! Best thing I&apos;ve seen in painting demonstration, hands down. Absolutely remarkable. Straightforward. Simplified. Delivered with the same freshness, accuracy and economy as the paint (humour too!). Bravo, Maestro, and a deeply grateful thank you.

  &quot;If you want your brushmarks to appear loose, you have to hold your brush loosely...&quot; - Thousands don&apos;t know this xD
