    Thank you, Ian! You're the only art teacher I've ever had. I've started selling my paintings, thanks to your videos and book. Most importantly, I've gone from a wannabe painter who deeply disliked her own art to a painter satisfied with her artistic path forward. There are no words to describe how grateful I am. Thank you. And god bless.

    That's precisely where I am. At 74, I've never felt more drawn to the absolutely essential nature of silence and time alone in finding one's true work. I support you wholeheartedly in taking this step Ian. It says a great deal about your integrity as a teacher that you have created a continuing teaching resource to help aspiring painters, without thought of personal gain. A breath of fresh air at a time when everything that moves is deemed fit for commodification. You've more than earned your new direction. May it be as fruitful as you hope. Well done!

I'm more a portrait painter now, however your lessons apply to the " structure " of art itself. Thank you for your everything you've shared with the community. It's people like you that make the world a better place given these uncertain times. Best of luck on your future endeavors

    Ian, I’m short for words to tell you a thousand times thank you for all you have done and do for your followers on RUclips. You are an unusual human being, generous, humble who is willing to to continue guiding us in the right path of Art. I began my oil painting journey with your book about composition, then another book and then your videos, together combined a golden guide filled with inspiration. Each time I watch a video, I find new information to help my painting. You will be missed dearly physically and temporarily but you will continuously be present in my heart and thoughts as an extraordinary master of composition! I wish you all the best and thanks again for gifting us with monthly challenges and new ways to continue improving. You are jut the best! Blessings, take care and be safe. Looking forward to continue the journey. ❤❤❤ At 68 soon to be 69 I will continue watching your videos over and over!

    Dear Mr. Roberts, you will be sorely missed, but we all love you and what you have most generously shared with us as an online community of subscribers.
    Not only have you given us insights into the artistic process, but also your musings touch a deeper core within us all as people learning to express ourselves through art.
    The monthly themed video packages is a great idea. Even though my interest is in watercolour painting, your videos help me understand composition in a way I never imagined before. You are also a lovely, calm and sincere man who has my utmost respect. Thank you.

    Oh my goodness, I've only just found you recently.... but I will also watch your advanced paintings with great interest. I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. My adoptive parents did not encourage my art. So I actually hid it from them. My dear husband eventually took pity on me and he and a friend bought me a box of Pelikan watercolours, with a few brushes and a watercolour pad, back in 1974. So my interest in colour started and I've never looked back. I use all media, but my go-to is watercolour. I am 77 years of age.

    Ian, From day “1” throughout the four years on RUclips you never wavered once from your authentic creative self, expressing and sharing all that you know about painting, drawing and being an artist. I value every lesson I took and all of them have empowered me to take more risks as well as share what you have taught me whenever I can.
    I respect your personal decision to honor your time needed to dive deeper into your artistic journey. It shows that there is always more to learn at any stage in our development. I wish you well and can’t wait to see what develops! Thank you!

I recently lost my job, and instead of rushing into looking for a new one, I decided to focus on my art, really push myself, improve the technique, and focus and fidning my voice. It's great to see a master artist taking some quiet time to focus on his art. Definetly will sign up to the email and will include Ian's lessons in my studying.

    I have worked as a graphic designer for over 40 years. As I put away my digital tools I had the need to use my hands, pick up a brush, and smear some paint. I also needed to re-inform myself of things that became intuitive. Your clarity in presenting information has helped me to revision what was intuitive and to think in a different way. Thank you and all the best on igniting your own painting. I am sure you will be successful.

    Good morning Ian [from down under, Melbourne, Australia],
    May I say how grateful I have been to watch your videos and instructions and HAVE LEARNT AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT and will be forever indebted. I started to learn watercolour 4 years ago and your techniques and principles (composition etc) have been invaluable. You have been immensely generous with the free information that you have shared - very few artists do so. It was a blessing to discover you. No thank you can be enough.
    Very sad that that you are going but I totally understand your position and agree with your decision. It is necessary for all artists to step back, take a break, regroup and re-energise. I am certain that you will be back in the near future and look forward to that.
    Look forward to the themed videos that you will be sharing. Again so generous.
    Wishing you all the very best .
    Kind regards
    Guy

    When I saw the email and video title my heart dropped! Now I am saying Whew! Just temporary, he will be back. I am loving the idea of grouping the videos into themes. Fantastic! You are my guru for composition like NO ONE else! Thank you for all you share and I hope you find your new muse without too much of an uphill climb. Your groupies all support you! 🎉

    Thank you for explaining so well, Ian. When I first saw "Last video" I was sad, but now I'm happy to know you're giving your full time to develop as your heart guides you. That benefits us all, as we learn so much from just looking at your paintings, not to mention the enjoyment you share through them. Blessings and good fortune in your explorations, and I look forward to the program you've so thoughtfully arranged.

    Ian, I took your Mastering Composition drawing class this Jan-Feb, and so enjoyed it. I have incorporated these tools into my oil painting now.I feel they have become part of my process of working toward a better composition and, therefore, painting. By cropping, gridding, and drawing I have become more confident in my ability to produce a better painting, and enjoy going through this process, as well. Thank YOU, and all the best to you in your liberation to do more painting. I look forward to hearing more from you.
