Thank you being a patient teacher. I am not a beginner, I watched you paint, which I enjoyed, btw, however, I thought your explanation and list of materials was right on for a beginner. Learning art and painting is a process, but you must begin before anything happens.

You're beginning to open my mind regarding portraiture. It's never really appealed to me to try it. I just might be starting to see the light.

You have amazing voice! Sorry if that sounds... strange? xD But your voice is really nice! :D

this is hands down the best technique on starting with oils! i never knew you could use oils without solvents and every other class also lists a bunch of various brushes but you just stick to complete simplicity and it works so great!!!!! thank you so much for this, great work, and amazing painting

I love to paint in my free time without any pressure, so for that, I normally avoid seeing videos of "artist teaching" because they're always putting many rules, or they normally love to make feel the others like trash!... But I'm glad that I learn skills from Sookie in person, cos it is so easy to master oil painting better than watching any videos online! Sookie teaches VERY useful things with the best attitude! Thank you Sookie for being different :)
