[@johnclark2774]

Thank you both again for another delightful lesson Charles and Gail. You have more than one gift but, for me, the important message you’re able to express is that one doesn’t need expensive equipment but just having the courage to have a go. I’m going to have a go on this subject, I’ve got the Langton paper already and I’ll make do with the rest of my equipment. It’ll be quite a change from😢 my frustrating attempts at botanical art.

Hi Charles. Peter from Noosa Australia. Another great lesson in not getting too complicated. Along with many things you have taught me, I think not being too complicated is the most important. Let other people see what they imagine from our paintings. I hope all is well in your world and you are enjoying life again. Hope to be in England next year. I would like to buy you and Gail a drink or two. Well till next time many thanks. Peter Butler.

Thank you for this session. I am new to painting and I have learnt so much by watching this. Primarily, don't stress, use 'blobs' and how to mix colours. I am about to 'have a go now'. Great to hear a Northern accent from here in New Zealand...with my Yorkshire accent. Thanks again, Barb :)

[@RobertHopkinsArt]

Excellent work, Charles! Suggestion: If you do this painting again, in watercolor, then consider painting the birds in a "toned-down" gray. The birds you painted are too black for my taste. Your acrylic painting had the lighter birds on-top of the darker clouds and that allows us "not" to focus on just three black birds. Opinions are like... What do I know! :)
