| Comments: | I really love to draw and William's book has taught me a lot about drawing and has made me want to continue to draw even more. I have now gotten my artwork in the mall and the Murdoch Perk.
Thanks so much! |

| Comments: | It was a wonderful find to see your art work Mr. Powell. It is a rainy day here in Missouri today. To see the wonderful colors in your paintings make them so full of energy and I could feel I was there in each one. The ocean, the country cabin or homestead, etc. How wonderful! You have a wonderful outlook on life and are in the "PRESENT". Blessings to you! |

| Comments: | Bonjour William et merci,
Malgré que je ne parle pas l'anglais je tenais à vous remercier de tout ce que vous apportez au monde de l'art avec votre savoir et votre partage. Il est dommage aussi qu'on ne puisse échanger des mails car j'aurais pas mal de questions à vous poser, moi, un modeste artiste égaré dans un monde en voie d'autodestruction. Il est enfin dommage que votre site n'aie une version française car beaucoup de mes élèves auraient aimé vous visiter... Qoiqu'il en soit merci et continuez ainsi vous nous auriez manqué... Peut-être à un jour, un ami artiste Jorge Coelho |

| Comments: | I am an amature artist of about 20 plus years, retired now and would love to get back into painting. Im not bad, but could be alot better. As Iam my own worst critic. I would be interested in learning some pointers from you, and would like to see what you have to offer in the way of techniques thru video's or cd's. Is that possible.

| Comments: | Things look quite different since the last time I was here. I was really suprised at the entry page, very nice. I see that you have made ordering your DVD lessons much simpler by adding PayPay as a means of payment. That's great. In a couple of days I will be ordering a couple of your excellent DVD lessons. I wish I had found you many years ago when I was a beginning artist. But, never too late to learn.
Thanks for a great site and excellent lessons. Wes |

| Comments: | Hello Mr. Powell,
You certainly helped me a lot in my early painting years, with a couple of your Foster books. First it was a book on painting skies. Then I bought "Color Thick and Thin." They're in the next room as I type this, but they're ragged and have paint all over them. God's best blessings to you; I hope you're doing well in health and spirit. Lenora D |

| Comments: | I haven't painted anything for 30 years. Life, work and all. Poor excuse, I know, but that's about it. I lean more towards acrylic, but I figure it's close enough to oils to use just about all the princpials from Mr. Powell's lessons and instructions. I am in awe of his masterpieces. His understanding of the waves, oceans,etc. is inspiring. I have ordered a couple of his instructional DVDs to SLOWLY get back into my true love of painting. I look forward to my first finished seascape, whenever it will be. Thank you for listening. JIM Counihan |

| Comments: | Loved your site. I am VERY new to watercolour painting and do not have a lot of patience....learning though! Clouds fascinate me. I was especially interested in your lesson for 'Homestead' (do you mind if I print it off for my own personal use?) although I am not quite ready to attempt it....must learn to draw first. Just as a side, I was pleased to read about your rescued dogs...I worked for years at our local SPCA and have many fond but often heartbreaking memories from there. Thanks for your time! Happy painting....Marlene |

| Comments: | I appreciated your free lesson on painting rocks (glazing etc)!!! We live in the Thousand Islands and the rock formations in this area are beautiful, and a great inspiration to local artists (many) ! Also the eastern white pines (a bit like the Group of Seven, blowing in one direction) which are on many of the islands; we also have lots of blue herons in this area. I used to go out with a group of artists and we would paint on the islands. I need lots of help; just getting back to painting after a few years of illness. THANK-YOU for your help!! You are blessed with a remarkable talent -- that of seeing the beauty around us, and capturing it for all to see. All the best always, Keep dreaming !! This whole earth is "a jewel hanging in space" (as the astronauts observed).
