I can only restart at the beginning of a chapter hence the reason for not being able to view a chapter to the full. I access the internet through Internet Explorer and have a broadband download speed of 3176 Kbps. Can anyone suggest a solution to the problem. BrianMon, 19 Apr 2010 12:44:05 GMTBrianhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic47-4-1.aspxThere is a useful link to test your broadband speed (under Help at the top of the screen). It's worth knowing that when your internet provider quotes a high speed - this is for your district - not just for you! A result of 300kb per second or more should get you uninterrupted streaming of Dermot's videos.Thu, 15 Jan 2009 15:48:24 GMTTrialMember155http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic73-4-1.aspxI purchased your large studio paint box with full pans I am having difficulty getting refills in Australia can you helpThu, 29 Oct 2009 03:33:00 GMTgordyhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic70-4-1.aspxhow do i dowload the pdf's as mentioned in the sketching lessonSat, 24 Oct 2009 11:23:20 GMTgordyhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic65-4-1.aspxhello Dermot, I am finding your tutorials wonderful is there any chance you could do a tutorial on boats.

Some of the instruction books were quite good but for some reason they did not work for me and I quickly became dissolutioned.I recently found some old recordings that I did when Dermot first started his Awash with Colour programmes and it prompted me to look him up on the internet to see if he had any books which might provide the kind of information and tuition that I had been searching for. I never expected to find a tuiton course of the type that he has set up on the net and the 15 minute trial was all that I needed to see that this is exactly what I have been looking for. I am really impressed with the site and although I have encountered a few gremlins mostly of my own making Iam really pleased that I have subscribed to the site. I note that there has been a little criticsm of the price in the forum but from what I have seen so far I think it is pretty good value for money. ie less than the cost of a couple of pints of beer a week and a lot healthier too.The only slight criticism I have at the moment is that even though it does say under News and Events that the tutorials can be paused and replayed, I have not yet discovered how to rewind and replay them. I think the tutorials would be greatly improved if a facility to rewind, replay, fast forward option could be introduced but if not I am not going to lose any sleep over it. All I can say is Thanks Dermot. BrianSun, 16 Aug 2009 13:14:21 GMTBrianhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic60-4-1.aspxPlease could you tell me how to get into the Tutorials Palette. I would like to read a bit on the brush demo to give me an idea of the brushes I could be using for the demonstrations on painting.Wed, 19 Aug 2009 11:17:05 GMTcarolinehttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic34-4-1.aspxMy account says that I have 203 min. left, but I got a message on a tutorial saying that I was out of minutes.Tue, 09 Sep 2008 16:30:20 GMTSherihttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic57-4-1.aspxJust back after painting 2 days with Dermot. Had not painted since school.Was very apprehensive about drawing ever again.Every fear dissipated once I landed at Moy.Dermot is an excellent step by step teacher [truly a master of his trade, but then thats stating the obvious].This along with his easy going attitude and sense of humour got me relaxed in the company of other painting enthusiasts present there [ again a very friendly bunch].The result is that I came back with my first two completed paintings in 25 years!!Sun, 10 May 2009 16:01:16 GMTTrialMember3233http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic55-4-1.aspxDear Dermot I am a beginner at art and joined your web site for three month to see how I go on. To be honest I have spent most of my time looking at the instructional parts to try and help me, which I have found fascinating. This morning I downloaded the instructions for Betty Fairclough's Cottage in Annagassan and watched your painting of it. I am going to have a go to see how I get on. Could you tell me how I know what time I have left on the web site, the first time I went to it it gave me the minuets left, but since then I have not seen anything coming up to show me, unless I am doing something wrong. Thank you Dermot for the inspiration you have give me to have a go at painting through watching your programs.

Feel free to leave comments!Thu, 24 Jan 2008 20:39:00 GMTDermot Cavanaghhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic48-4-1.aspxMay I suggest that if the subscription fee was around £5 a month, and the content was updated semi-regularly, that there would probably be a lot more subscribers. It would be nice to see this venture more active.Wed, 04 Feb 2009 23:14:03 GMTTrialMember2347http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic50-4-1.aspxI just wanted to say how absolutely delighted I am with this great resource. I have brought untold DVDs books and videos that have cost me a absolute fortune, but none match up to Dermots' teaching on the web. Dermot truly explains things extremely clearly and answers the questions on how to do watercolor painting and sketching that I really need to know. I am no novice to painting but I haven't painted for a considerable time. Although I can draw, I have always lacked the sketching knowhow and courage to paint outdoors. I now feel very excited about starting painting again and tackling outdoor subjects, due to the very practical and extremely clear instructions Dermot provides. Fantastic resource and web can't wait to get start again. It's like having Dermot in your own front room FRANTASTIC!Thu, 26 Mar 2009 10:19:02 GMTBuntyhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic4-4-1.aspxI wonder if anyone can help?I am new to watercolour painting and have just regsitered onto the site and looking forward to painting. But I dont know what the best brush is to use? There are so many - different quality and prices...can some one help?thanksDerekSat, 26 Jan 2008 15:24:58 GMTTrialMember1078http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic46-4-1.aspxI am only seeing approximately 20 seconds of a tutorial before rebuffering takes place. My broadband connection is extremely fast - I add this because of a reply to another members comments. I have signed up for a yearly subscription to this site and will be disappointed if unable to watch any tutorials. Can anyone assist?Sun, 11 Jan 2009 21:52:17 GMTCrystalshttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic43-4-1.aspxDermot, have you any plans to organise any other painting holidays other than Croatia?JoeTue, 28 Oct 2008 20:36:27 GMTTrialMember2165http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic41-4-1.aspxMost of the Free Trial time was wasted on the buffering process so that all I saw was about 7 minutes of very interrupted video. Apart from that, the trial that I ended up with was of 22+ minutes duration, such that it was impossible to see the end result, particularly as there was no scroll bar to move the video content onwards. There was a complete waste of my time, whether being given free or not, in showing the replenishment of watercolour pans when I do not wish to even use watercolour paint, preferring acrylics which cannot just be left to harden as with watercolours, although this was not evident from the video that I watched ie watercolour wasn't specifically mentioned just the word "paint".Being so bitterly disapointed by the Free Trial - can one feel ripped off by something given free - I won't be subscribing to the site and am not sure that I wish to watch the free tv programmes. I should say that I often watch downloaded content but don't end up wasting time with as much buffering as was the case for this particular video.JoanneSun, 19 Oct 2008 15:38:44 GMTTrialMember2134http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic37-4-1.aspxHi allI’ve just come back from the final painting holiday of this year to Istria in Croatia. Talk about saving the best to last; it was fantastic, the weather, the food, the painting locations and the people. To be honest it’s always good, but maybe because we have had such a terrible time with the weather at home this year it was such a treat to be able to sit out of doors and paint the days away in such an idyllic place.Now I am starting to plan next years Istrian painting holidays. As well as my usual 11 night holidays I am going to introduce some shorter 4 night packages into the schedule. These packages will include return flights, half board accommodation in an excellent hotel, 3 days painting and an excursion. The cost will be from £499.I will be uploading more info on all my painting activities onto the web site shortly. This will include photos of this year’s holidays. I am going to be promoting the new 4 day Istrian breaks at the Art Materials Live Exhibition at the NEC Birmingham in November where I will be demonstrating on the Winsor and Newton stand, hope to see you there.Chat again soon Dermot.Wed, 17 Sep 2008 08:03:13 GMTDermot Cavanaghhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic33-4-1.aspxI have trouble viewing the tutorials using Firefox browser. Is the site not supporting Firefox 3?Tue, 12 Aug 2008 18:42:55 GMTTrialMember1968http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic28-4-1.aspxGreetings to all visitors to awashontheweb.com I‘ve just had a knee operation and have been out of commission for a few days. Coincidentally the surgeon’s father is an amateur painter and a subscriber to Awash On The Web. I would like to take this opportunity to touch base and say a heartfelt thanks to all those who have taken the time to visit the site so far.The site has been up and running from November. It was nearly two years in the making and took many long days and sometimes nights. In the first few months we had a few minor teething problems but I am pleased to say the technical team have solved most of them and are currently dealing with a few remaining software issues. My vision was to create a website that would be a clear and practical guide to painting, be easily navigated and would utilise broadband to its full potential thus offering the user the ultimate learn to paint experience. I will soon be adding new painting workshops and tutorials. This new content is currently in production. With your continued support and interaction together we can build Awash on the Web into the most complete and practical How-To-Paint web portal available anywhere. So please help me spread the word by telling your friends and e-mailing the link to the site. Please let me have your comments and your points of view through the forum. I would love to see your completed paintings of the current on-line workshops, you could photograph them and e-mail them to me at: dermot@awashontheweb.com I would love to here your experiences of the tutorials. I look forward to creating many more hours of additional, instructional content for the sites. Let’s have your suggestions for painting locations from the original ‘Awash With Colour’ episodes to be featured in my forthcoming exercises.Chat to you again soonBest wishes and happy paintingDermot CavanaghMon, 31 Mar 2008 11:15:05 GMTDermot Cavanaghhttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic26-4-1.aspxHi Dermot,I am new to your site, and I must say you are fabulous. I have learned more in a few short hours from your tutorials than many weeks of very expensive classes. Great job and Thanks. You have relieved me of much needless frustration. I was wondering where the downloadable PDF sketches are located on the web site. I have been unable to locate them. Once again. Thanks.Regards, Colleen (Coco)Sat, 29 Mar 2008 11:53:42 GMTCocohttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic24-4-1.aspxHi Dermot, when will you be adding another picture to Paint, love the site. cherieSat, 15 Mar 2008 12:30:26 GMTCheriehttp://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic21-4-1.aspxHi Dermot ,i have watched the awash with colour series and read the book, in the book you only use nine colours and four brushes.while i was browsing on the shop site i noticed you are selling twelve colours and the additional grass brushes. but there was no mention of these colours or brushes in your book have you stopped using them or is this a later addition?Also can you explain a little more about the grass brushes ie what are they?PS looking forward to your workshop in AprilRegards GrahamSat, 08 Mar 2008 12:18:05 GMTTrialMember1335http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic20-4-1.aspxHi Dermot, I am coming to Ireland over the next few months on a 2 week holiday - where would you recommend as best part of the country to spend painting?JeremyFri, 07 Mar 2008 18:49:34 GMTTrialMember1516http://www.awashontheweb.com/forum/Topic17-4-1.aspxDear Dermot,I’ve just taken up watercolour and I am attending evening classes. Lots of people are stretching their paper, but I notice you don’t do this, why not?
