Thank you so much for all you do for Urban Sketches.
I signed up for your classes on Crafsty, and follow you on your blog.
Thanks for all the goodies here! Much appreciated!!
I’m already missing posts you’ve yet to write! I’ll definitely follow some of these links and hope there’ll be other ways that you’ll enable people to continue following and being inspired by you?
Thanks Marc. I will be staying with the blog. And I do one of your Craftsy classes. Thank you for your tuition and inspiration. You and Shari are my favourites; it was great to see photos you both, at the same urban sketching event. All the best. Sandi
Great to be updated. Worried for some time about your absence. Hope we cross paths in the future as you have always been an inspiration. I started spending more time on art after retirement but always wondered if it was worth anything more than my enjoyment. Never had goals, just enjoying myself. Then I ran across your book and found a path. As retired rv’ers we travel a lot and sketching our travels is a perfect outlet for my artistic urge and a great souvenir of our travels. You helped my find my niche. Heading for my second symposium next year in Amsterdam. Hope you are still planning the same. vanberk2

Thanks so much for all the good info Marc. I’m Into watercolor and urban sketching right now so I won’t be following you with acrylics. I did buy your Craftsy class, and will refer to this info often.Best wishes with your new ventures. If you’re ever in Vancouver, let me know and we’ll pick up an Urban Sketchers meetup. Linda Lebrun

Thank you Marc for indexing your fantastic blog. It has been a great source of inspiration and will be a reference gold mine to return too.
All the best in your new direction with oils which will keep us amazed at the beauty of this new approach and show of great skills through your art. See you on instagram @angesmclaughlin
I have learned so much from your Craftsy class and your books. I thank you for keeping this blog up for awhile as I plan to reread many of your posts. I will follow you in your new blog and wish you continued success.
Thanks, Marc, for all your fantastic blog posts. Have loved reading ’em. Took your Craftsy class and loved it, as well. I only hope you keep digital versions of your paintings in case you want to post them here in the future; not everyone is on Instagram, and social media platforms might not be around forever, whereas this will always be your own online home you can fully control :)
Wow, thank you for this :)
