These are, by far, my favorite videos that you create.
As a fun challenge…I’d love to see you do this exact painting in acrylics 😃
I used to watch you and try to imitate you and draw like you when I was little. Now, after 8 years, I remembered you and searched for your channel, and I'm delighted that you're still continuing to create. 🌷
you basically dramatically alter and destroy its initial expression and call it "fixing", when it's just adding some sort of photo realism and idealized composition. the student was wrong to submit it. her work is gone now and can never be brought back. "art schools" are the bane of art.

Beautiful just beautiful 😍…. you inspire me so much!!!
I believe it was thalo blue that I used. Been a long time ago but thalo blue is my favorite color. Holy Cow, what I difference. I am so blown away by the difference. I learned a lot from this tutorial and I am so grateful for your assistance on this painting. I am so IN LOVE with the result! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart!
WOOOOW!!

Superb fantastic artwork
You have a magic touch Kevin. So inspiring.
Huge respect, Kathy!! ❤️🧡💛🩵💜💖💕💕💖💜🩵💙✨️✨️ You did amazing.. id display your creativity just as is, 🥰🥰🥰
Wow! I really liked Cathy's painting, however… the details you put in along with the shadows make it feel inviting, like you can feel the breeze.
Also would like to know where your mahl stick is from?
Great job. Always cool to see how to do tricks like the glazing. Never would have thought about that. Another trick locked in the books now.
It's starting to come together! It looks like Peter Pan!
