Testimonials:

I loved the v-log because, for me, it 'demystifies' the act of creating a painting by breaking down the process into easy steps which can be practised and adapted at leisure - when it suits me!  Mark provides the recipe and reveals 'insider tips' for painting a tropical paradise, explaining what ingredients are needed and the method we need to pull it all together - all we need to do is to listen up, apply the knowledge (you can always rewind if you missed it the first time!) and practise enthusiastically!  Plus it's available 24/7.  
 
I truly did love it.  I've watched it twice now, and picked up different items of interest each time - and I'm sure this sort of thing will continue as I grapple more with my own paintings and apply the new 'knowledge' I'm taking on board from watching Mark as he paints.  Just not sure how to put that into words.   Ah well.
