  1. Every once in a while I try to get in a couple of gesture portraits, which I learned from Jeff Watts. You have taken the technique to a whole different, and quite pleasing, level!!! Beautiful work…

  2. I was hoping you'd make a video like this! I've been curious about Alla Prima and impressionistic processes as I normally paint much more realistically and in a lot of layers. Fantastic work and fantastic teaching!

  3. Hi Chelsea, love your work and appreciate all you do for us artists! I was wondering if you offer a mentorship or any type of help with the business side of being a professional artist? Thanks so much!

  4. I am really trying to get out of my head and loosen up. I really appreciated all of the tips as well as watching you paint, how you make the marks, how you negotiate darks and lights, how you suggest things like fingers, and how you hold your brush. Thank you!
