It was a joy to watch him paint. His painting style is beautiful. While painting, he explained the process: the composition, the values, the colours and their temperature. I wanted to loosen my style, so we focused on brush strokes. He can do magic with brush strokes! He also talked about the importance of edges and transitions between light and shadow. He gave me recommendations, told me what works and what doesn’t and shared his vast knowledge about art and what it takes to be an artist. I have learnt a lot and much enjoyed working with him.
