    Lots of nice advice in this one for loosening up – for instance try painting with your other hand, and the suggestion to disengage the brain! Thank you!

      Loretta,

      Thanks for commenting. I’m working on the palette peek:). This tutorial was filmed before I had a chance to get two cameras going.
      All the best!

    Hi, Robert. Wanted to let you know that I started a thread in the acrylics forum on WetCanvas.com and shared about your tutorials. I posted a link to your website. I go by “Reikiart” on there because I am also a Reiki practitioner. Anyway, I hope that is all right. How to be more loose in painting is a frequent topic there, so I thought the others might like to know about your great tutorials.
