Love your videos. Can you please tell me what the product "bitumen" is called in the US. I've looked for it everywhere.

Hope that helps

Thanks for your encouragement and support. It's really working. I started three things already, without much of my usual anxiety. I love the video effects..and the music!

Wow. This happened to me twice this week and you're absolutely right I messed it up and learned from the "mistake" and got back on the bike on in this case, the canvas. Thanks!

and if you sort of expect there to be a high- risk factor involved, when you have something amazing happen it's thrilling. this is precisely why you're so much fun to watch :)

Gary, hope I don't embarrass you however, you are truly a BRILLIANT young man! Your creativeness & the ease in which you teach us new techniques are so much more refreshing than what we (some of us) are normally get in other classes/workshops. I always look forward to your videos they are always so much fun. Thank you for sharing your "brilliance" w/us youtubers. Ciao for now.

Great video!! Keeping it handy in my favs for darker days ;)

Do you ever take an "old messed up project" and use it for something else? When I come across some of my messed up pieces (months or years later), I often see them in a different way and they might even inspire me for something else... That's how I cope! Well, after the yelling, the swearing, the crying, and the shredding... Yes, sometimes I nearly destroy the thing but I save the bits and pieces in containers... Ha! Ha! :)

Perfect timing Gary, thanks. I love your perspective that although we can't help messing up now and then, we CAN change the way we feel about it. You remind us all that messing up is part of the great creative experience. Cheers!

Messed up paintings are the real bliss!

(I love the word 'bliss', don't know why, always did..)

You are too young to be so wise! Love your work, love your techniques. Keep posting!
