… I am watching your leaves DVD started Monday evening. O my, that evening I went very late to sleep because I could not stop watching. Love it!!! Now I am going to watch the last part. But what I already have seen is beautiful and so very helpful. The leaves are wonderful and I can’t wait to paint them too.It is absolutely great and above my expectations. I am so happy with it!! Just what I was waiting for! I have already learnt so much from you! After 3 years of not painting at all it is now my passion again because of you…

Dear Doris, Your DVD’s arrived late this afternoon much to my pleasant surprise.  I thought they would be much later.  I watched the one on painting leaves as soon as I got it.  It is wonderful. You make everything look so easy.  I can’t wait to try your techniques.  I mostly do wet in wet, but now I will try wet in dry.  Your leaves are simply gorgeous.  Thanks again for that wonderful DVD.  Can’t wait to view the other one.  Do you use cold pressed or hot pressed paper?
Regards,
Sophie, Canada
