So happy to find you!!! I have been a snobbish oil painted for about 5 years- lol oh boy! I bought a small set of Sennelier paints a few years ago and just started a couple of weeks ago! So surprised to find out how much I loved and enjoyed using them! I love your teaching style and beautiful color you lay down so effortlessly! Thank you and I look forward to seeing the product you offer!

Alain, TY kindly for such an informative two parter. One of the best demonstrations of under painting I've seen.
Your talents are much appreciated, especially now. Gratitude for all you share with us. Blessings.

Great work as usual Alain. I like the bright colours and it is a beautiful scene. Thank you very much for sharing your wonderful skills. Might I say I am a great fan of Susan Jenkins too 👍👍🤩

i can't wait for tomorrow so I can try this. I bought a small set of pastels. I'm an oil painter but I'm so tired of waiting days for things to dry so I can proceed. I love the incredibly bright colors of pastels too. There's so much to learn and I'm so grateful for your free videos to help people learn by watching, the best way. Off to part two! I'm like a kid in a candy store!! Thank you so much, Alain. Love, Joan Williamson

That was fantastic Alain. Such an elegant, warm and professional presentation. I am learning from your methodical approach to colour layering and your distinctive mark-making. Your marks are confident and energetic and transmit vitality. Such a joy. Look forward to part two

Hey Alain, thank you! Your point about working from a decent size, quality reference has made an impact on my work already. Sometimes seemingly minor points can make a huge difference.
