I’ve watched a lot of videos over last couple of years and have to say this is in my top 5!
Your skillfulness and articulation are unsurpassed.
Your transparency about the emotional inspiration for your work is both vulnerable yet BOLD. I use a lot of texture in my work and loved the treatment of your background. I struggle with seeing values but think your warm/ cool approach will help me. Thank you! "
