Great thank you. My wife and I started painting in March and learning mostly by trial and error (mostly error 😁 ). We are both well into our 70's (me nearly 80) and are wondering why we didn't start painting many years ago., We firmly believe that as we are made in God's image we have creative gifts given to us by Him and everyone CAN paint and draw, even though many folk swear blind they are useless at it. We certainly have surprised ourselves with the paintings and sketches we've done so far. People tell us they are very good - so thank You Lord for helping us. Possible we should call ourselves the Accidental GeriARTrics 🤣.. Thanks for explaining the process of smoothing the canvas before painting. We have struggled to get fine realistic detail on the the rough Gessoed canvas, and just recently, I realised that we need to get a good smooth surface to get that detail. So I'm going to attempt to do a family portrait on top of a sketch 1st sealed on the canvas. Bless you.

My pleasure! God bless you in your painting. Yes, if you have the desire to do art, that’s half the battle. Just believing that you can-learning and practice is the other half. And you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you!

Thanks Matt! Great info!

Any time!

That's a huge help. Thanks. I need a smooth canvas for portraits. Thanks specially for the Matte Medium info to slow the drying time. I also saw that information on your portrait tutorial. I think it's going to save my small portrait business.

Hello sir this was a great technique also I'm an atheist but I appreciate your pray in the beginning going to home Depot in the morning 😂😂😂

Thanks for your kind words!

Thank you for involving God in your demonstrations. I like to invite God to paint with me and the times I have, people have actually noticed God or Jesus or Mary in some of my paintings which I had not even noticed myself. I invite God, afterall, He gave us this talent.
