Hello everyone!
It has been a long, long time since I posted on KZfaq. I'm going to be posting a video on the 1st of every month. I hope you enjoy them! Thanks for the many messages that people have written asking when I will be back. Sorry for not talking as much as I should have, the painting went a bit off course and I had to concentrate and not chat as much!
Happy Painting!
Scott
