    • HI Mayra,

      If your internet connection is weak or slow, it may take a few minutes for the videos to show. Each video is over 1 hour long, so they are very large files.

  1. Hello Matt,

    Would you consider doing another ink wash live class in the near future. This course goes through some important things, like using imagination, thumb nail, working loose, and even to do something like this in colored inks?

    I know a few of us are interested in using colored inks. I know I am experimenting with colored inks. I actually found some highly pigmented inks from Japan that are made with Gum Arabic and have brilliant colors.

    I have an extra if you want it I could mail it to you.

    Greetings to your family and hope you are all staying warm!!

    Teri (w1r)
