I will never tire of thanking you. Your videos are more than watercolor classes, they are professional mentoring. Here in the city of Maracay, Venezuela where I live there is no place to learn to paint watercolor. That is the reason why I feel so pleased with you. I can only wish that everything you have taught to me becomes wealth, health and happiness for you.
