My husband asked me to paint a paddle for him with a boat on a lake. You saved the day! Thank you.

[@anaesperguel6751]

[@juliakeats7242]

Thank you for sharing your talents. I managed to draw my first boat and as a newbie to drawing I'm very proud of my result. I can't understand why some of the comments are so rude.

Thank you so much, that helped me immensely

[@katarinaeriksson9165]

Great now i can draw a boat, thanks

[@megcrust7327]

Actually works really well, draw the figure of eight, pause video when clearer and then it's intuitive from that point.

[@homebased0002]

thank you sir this is very good and very helpful. now i will have this to canvas.

[@marianorthover1193]

Very helpful, but initial part was too light and very difficult to see.

[@sorayaleimkuhler1001]

thank you very much , so helpfull

[@DraMaurenNavarro]

Amazing teacher a recommendation you need the camera following the picture is to far most the time

[@mattybatty1234]

That's great but what about boats of other shapes and sizes, different kinds?

[@hswinehart]

Beginning is too difficult to see otherwise it would have been a good video. Instructions were good.

[@rawveganfruitarian7290]

"Not, waiting for the barmaid to bring back your change." Hahah

[@OnlineCollegeofArtandDesign]

[@baveeshexcel124]

[@marie-clairevallon2297]

Merci pour votre aide

[@jennifermilligan8424]

i am struggling with a practice lakeshore scene that has two boats lying on the lakeside. thhe top one is upside down lying on top of the one underneath of it. the bottom one is sitting on the grass upside down as well. i cant get my porportions correct and i am using pastels so i have a little mess I have to start over with;thankfully i am using a sanded pastel paper I can wash it off with alsochol and dry and start over again. im going to try this technique and see if i can fix my mess

[@HarryFeeney1]

Turn your drawing upside down for the upside down boats.

[@jennifermilligan8424]

@@HarryFeeney1 thank you I finally did get it. It looks a lot better than it did the first time. Sorry for my typos in my prior comment. Voice to text doesn’t work so well on a phone.lol😀

[@lakshmi-bi8cp]

Awesome

[@eileendiaz7450]

Great idea but I can't see it while you're drawing...

[@Taracroi]

😍😍😍😍😍😍🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@terryo580]

Can you make the drawings darker. I can hear you but can't see the light drawing. Help!

[@jackieproctor4038]

Where's then end?! It cuts off just before he tells you he's going to put it in a picture...and you see the picture! I really want to see the rest of this please!

[@elainepayne7047]

I can’t see the pencil sketches via my iPad! I did the figure of 8 then couldn’t see any further! N

[@sunnyboy4553]

Pencil marks too light. Can't see. Couldn't you tell it was too light??? No help at all. Shame, because from the narration it sounded very good, too bad no one can actually SEE the lines.

[@pedrocosta5530]

good i like

[@TimsAClown]

timothy k my name is timothy too

[@barbtubing]

Can't see. drawings too light.

[@wadi_waei9645]

It is litterally 9 years ago

[@Gedroid61]

Cant see it.

[@lennieallison]

your video is way too light, can't see the drawing

[@mad4paws]

Can’t see:(

[@karenallen8279]

Great instruction and shot of first boat but cameraman should be fired. didn’t zoom in on your drawing or painting so we only saw from afar - zoom was of your applying paint and your pallet and water cup.

[@EkanVitki]

@1:48 ASMR pencil drawing noises FTW

[@ebujvt65]

Lines are very light can't see drawings

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

you've drawn in pencil, the camera flash killed all of it. should have used charcoal or ink. Sigh, really wanted to watch this.

[@gregorgman]

i agree, poor video.

[@flintgahan4815]

There’s too much glare we can’t see the drawings

[@marlenesolomon9972]

Really hard to see

[@CB-kn1ox]

Lots of great tips. But the video was too far from the actual work you were doing. Hard to see.

[@irmamut4256]

Очень плохо,практически ничего не видно,!

[@caminocutie1]

Too light

[@lordnilsson1]

Remove this one ! It's impossible to see !
