Kind of you to say, much appreciated.

I'm working alongside ya...anxious to get this little guy feathered! Luvin this video series!

[@davidhyde4329]

Hello again Amanda, should get this finished shortly - my art teaching classes have now finished for the summer - so a bit more free time for the Kingfisher. Glad you like the series ... Regards, David

Wow I never new how you achieved the levels of detail that your wildlife paintings achieve, pure genius and as ever a great artist, proud to be your brother.

I was just looking at sections of the video, again. And, I noticed that the comment I had previously left for David falls well short of the actual impact I felt while viewing. We have a KZbin watercolorist right here in the house, and I immediately said to her, "you have got to see the detail this fella has on the Kingfisher head. Your brother is a talented man!

@@davidhyde4329 I have taken water color painting class when on vacation, however the organization, content, progression in this series is similar to a well thought out college class. I will always view a Kingfisher, or similar bird with a new understanding. Thank you for sharing your talent

whats the link to the referance

[@davidhyde4329]

Hi Jenson. Not sure precisely where I mentioned 'the link to the reference' but, in this video 'the reference' would be my original photograph reference of the Kingfisher. If you are using a different photograph, that would be your reference. I hope I have answered this for you. If not - please let me have the specific video and time into it that prompted your question. I will look at it again - I'm always ready to help. ... regards, David
