Cool Have always loved your art work. I had a Dinotopia book as a security blanket. I thought that the person who painted it had to have seen what they painted. Is this for a book or calendar?
This has got me wondering if you ever painted a working steam locomotive? I cannot figure out how too draw the valve gear, so I try to do locomotives that it would not matter but I like the big ones.
Thank you for these great demos. I am learning a ton. I would love to see you produce a video on color and light like you authored in your book. Something like Jeanne Dobie's book "making color sing". Again, thank you!

I am so excited for the gouache and casein videos when they're done. 'Watercolor in the Wild' was really terrific.

PS. When is the next CLEMENTOONS?
I must try gouache some time, but right now I have my hands full getting more skilled at transparent wc. Thanks for this post.
