I can't find this video and I was interested in watching it, I've been on my FB page and there are no headings for video page or specials, give me a clue please, Robert, I see you managed to find it.

It's on here under the video link at the top of the homepage. Not on FB as the idea was to make it available to non FBers.

Thanks Peter, not on FB then which is why I can't find it, Robert's last sentence sort of implied it was on FB. Off I go then to hopefully find it.

https://www.facebook.com/paintersonline/videos/1482239148516448/ Alan - this is the link to the Facebook video, which I hope will work; but I can't find it at all on this website - Stub: got a link?

Thanks Robert but Peter had kindly directed me to it earlier. Some interesting stuff and he did answer one of my questions regarding framing. Overall I would have liked to see rather more questions being put to Mark and perhaps shorter answers but a good effort all round by both Mark and the POL team.

Hee hee - well, it takes me some time to find things, then (even now) to see them properly, then to load a link. But at least others can find it. Yes, I agree with your reservations, but this was the first of its kind - for POL and for Mark; and as one who has done a bit of presentation and public speaking in his time, I could I think offer a tip or two: eg, you don't have to acknowledge every single comment made online, it just interrupts the flow; and try to be slightly less discursive, but these are niggles - Mark was, to start with, palpably nervous; he should be a seasoned veteran by the next time he's called upon, provided it's not too long in the waiting and his nerves build up all over again. I think it would be well worth doing this again, and perhaps with even more notice so that more people could participate (though an impressive number did). I found it very worthwhile - and congratulations to Dawn: it would have been awful if no one had logged on to ask questions and the poor chap just had to sit there nervously twiddling his thumbs. It's certainly given me a few things to think about - including the framing issue, e.g. galleries, or this gallery, want work as a package, not an unframed canvas which they will be expected to put in a uniform frame; and the question of individual pricing; it hadn't really occurred to me that people would be unhappy with or confused by the same size of painting (in the same medium) being priced differently - and I've certainly been guilty of doing that, online. Because I've never dealt with a gallery, and have worked through private exhibitions and via the internet, I've never been confronted with this advice before -- should have thought of it myself, but there it is, I didn't.
