I want to thank you, Len. I learned a good bit from just two of your videos. I never really felt any of my paintings complete. Your loose style has inspired me to loosen up some myself and try new things. I've been painting for about 7 years, 5 seriously and learned how easy it is to create the illusion of water after your how to paint a river clip. In my mind, I made it so much more involved than it needs to be. So, Thanks.

[@horrorfan24]

Wow, this is such a great video. As I live in England I love how the first 3 and a half minutes of the demonstration could so easily be used to start off a winter/snow scene with the blue/grey/greeny trees and bushes. There are some great tips there. I really love these videos. Thanks so much Mr. Hend. Great stuff.

One of your more simple ones, but I really like it. A couple of colours ( violet etc ) jazzes it up a bit. I don't have your gum trees down pat yet, but I'm getting there. Hope things are going ok down on the farm. Thanks for another great lesson Len. Dave M ( Queensland ) 🇦🇺😎

Magnifico uno de los mejores artistas,simpleza,rapidez y una escuela bien explicita.Me gusta maravilloso!!!

[@spitharoo]

Marvellous teacher, learned a lot, thanks.

[@TWAREG0106]

Yes, very easy but getting harder now that I just started the 2nd full color one. #9 is the one I am on now. I was so amazed after doing #1. The monochromes are awesome. My folks and friends all said I have talent for this. I never had interest in painting my whole life. Always photography. Now I am hooked. Mixing colors now is a challenge and fun to see what happens on the canvas. If you don't think you can, change it to yes you can.

[@MaZEEZaM]

This is really great, especially so since you are a fellow Aussie. You make it look SO easy :D thanks for sharing

[@reikibee]

give it a try .... you'll be surprised at how easy it is to do one of his painting lessons.. the end result will amazes you. believe me.. I am no artist but after following one of his lessons I have to say when I looked at what I had painted it amazed me that I was the one to do what I was looking at..
