    Awesome job here...wow...I am going to do this with the painting I am on now...and I really like that you use the canvas panels too..I always thought that only stretched canvas was the way to go, but now I work on the panels and they are great, and much easier to store than bulky stretched canvas...Thanks for this great video lesson, you rock...
