I appreciate what you are saying. I will do a new video with sound turned up and close-up of the canvas. Look for it in the near future.

THERE IS NEARLY "ZERO" VOLUME ON SOUND- I CANT MAKE OUT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING- AND ABOUT 2 AND HALF MINUTES INTO VIDEO THE CANVAS IMAGE RATIO IS TO SMALL TO APPRECIATE WHT YOU ARE DOING. I AM SURE IT WOULD COME OUT NICE BUT THE VIDEO/ AUDIO QUALITY KEEPS ME FROM WANTING TO WATCH.

@iambarisci

I appreciate your comments. I will make a new video with the sound turned up and close-ups of the canvas as the portrait is being painted. Look for it in the near future.
