I was 2/3 finished with a large Paris, wet-night, street scene and was bogged down with the reflections. You totally gave me not only the how-to-do-it, but you made me realize that it is not supposed to be an exact, picture-perfect replica of the real scene. This video has given me so much excellent instruction - and confidence! I am also a product of a tiny, southern town - who ended up living 3 years in Paris and 20 years in New York City:-)!
You addressed EVERY problem I was having with my painting skills, and your constant, explanatory (and comforting) comments were so very helpful. Thank you!!
