@DavidDunlopSimmonsAr t Oh! Thanks for your answer :)) I didn't translate mine in a hurry. This Google translate function is very useful :)) Thanks again for a great lesson. I'm currently struggling with painting the sky: its color. Blue is the most difficult color for me. Best regards!

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

@@chaconne0488 Cześć Chaconne - A niebo może mieć tak wiele różnych kolorów! Cieszę się, że malujesz. Najlepsze życzenia, Connie i DavidZawsze trochę się denerwuję, korzystając z Tłumacza Google, ponieważ najwyraźniej nie rozumiem, co tak naprawdę piszę! HI, Chaconne - And skies can be so many different colors as well! I am happy that you are painting. Kind regards, Connie and David I am always a little nervous about using Google Translate because obviously I can't understand what I am really writing!

Mr Dunlop never failed to amaze me with his love of art, or his knowledge of art and the technics of art. I started by thinking he has messed this up, within seconds of my thought appeared a beautiful, smartly thought out painting he was following. 💜

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you, Peter! Hi! We are delighted you enjoyed it. It is amazing to see the different stages of the process of painting and interesting to believe that different aspects can transform into an interesting element or part of the painting. Kind regards, David and Connie

Hello! Thank you so much for share this. I was wondering if you will make a video about John singer Sargent's style, I think that you can give a good explanation about his techniques 🤓✨ Greetings from chile❤

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Hi, Francisca! Thank you so much. We are delighted you enjoyed it. We have posted a video of Sargent's watercolor techniques in our program on KZbin: John Singer Sargent’s Venice from Landscapes Through Time with David Dunlop (Program 203. )Kind regards, David and Connie

[@psenesac]

Hi David. I always love your videos and your paintings are phenomenal. When you use oil in the bottom layer as in a block in, doesn't that create problems later in the painting when you add paint on top because of fat over lean? It seems like you are doing fat over fat. I can see if the bottom layer is dry it wouldn't matter. But if you're working Alla prima would that cause problems? Thanks 🙏

[@jvkarts]

YES! oils are safer than acrylics, so many times l hear people say that they have changed from oils to acrylics because acrylics are safer, or that they use acrylics rather than oils because they are less toxic. Acrylic’s are manufactured in a lab oils come from the earth or stones/ minerals etc. Thank you for clarifying that. 🙏🏻

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you, jakarta - We are happy that you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching and for writing to us! It means so much to us to hear from you . Thank you for sharing more information about oils and acrylics. All the best, Connie and David
