    It's amazing what you managed to not quite do in 15 minutes, well done.

    The £64,000 question on tonight's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was based on this painting and I wouldn't have known if I hadn't seen your excellent video. I didn't win the money, obviously, cos I was watching it at home but I was very happy to know the answer. If I'd been on the tele, I would definitely have referenced your excellent RUclips series. Cheers Marek

      The real question is how much would you have given me if you had won the £64,000. (I think £20 is acceptable). Stay cool.

    Having been through art school 30 years ago, I can now see the need for a new approach. All hail Marek. I think The Laughing Cavalier is waiting in the wings for your brush....

    These videos are fun, funny, and inspiring. I sorted out my art supplies the other day and discovered I've 150 pencil crayons that I've never used coz I didn't know I had them! And ten different types of tape! I shall have to have a go at these 15 min mediocre masterpieces 😀

    • @marekl
