I love hearing of artists that started later in life. Let's one know it's doable and I'm not alone. š

āDrawing things we love, because weāve already looked at them ā and find the inspiration we need! Great statement Stephen! Iām going to write on the inside cover of my sketchbook! Thank you sir! Loved this livestream recordingā¦ hope to catch you live next time!ā¤

You hit on so many things I've been ruminating and relate to, including confidence (it being more how we see ourselves than we see our art), starting out a bit later in life, even feeling jealousy for an artist daughter and giving yourself permission to give it a go. Thank you so much for sharing your work and wisdom!

Iām loving your channel, you are a wonderful teacher! I too came late to WC ! I explored other artistic disciplines and worked full time + and then after health issues retired early and started basic lessons and now Iām hooked on painting and drawing! Thank you!

I wish Iād made the live talk. I related to the person who was afraid to sketch in public. My advice would be to go somewhere where you donāt know anyone. A big city maybe. I set up at a park in a big city once and someone came up behind me and said it was beautiful and she wished she could do that. And Iād thought it was very amateurish but had resigned myself to just go for it. I learned something that day. I wrote that womanās words right there in my sketchbook and Iām not afraid to go out anymore.

Very inspirational, thank you!! Have always painted Acrylic and now at 74 started watercolour on a smaller scale. I paint better than I scetchš

If the today's regular video you mentioned is the one about downhill perspective, when I first glanced at it I thought you were just reposting the older one that I'd seen. I'll give it a look when I have time to sit and watch it. I like these talking videos because I can listen while I'm busy. The drawing ones are so helpful but sometimes I have to choose between 15 minutes of drawing or 15 minutes of YouTube š

I cannot wait to read your "book". If you do not write it... I will be sad. ;-)

I don't believe I got a notification about this live talk, so I must not be signed up with you in the correct way although I do have the 'bell' on for notifications.

Must have been really tired I fell asleep so I didnāt hear the notification not long ago woke up 7 am

Accurate observation does not discard the gesture. Accuracy depends on the stray line, and the smudge. Is this true for anyone else? š

I can hear you

How to you stay motivated?
