RTL german TV filmed Kieron completing yet another painting, so did CBBC newsround, where Kieron talked the presenter through painting together. Kieron was also taken to London for BBC breakfast news where he painted also. Kieron thrives on learning techniques and tips from anyone willing to share, we are so lucky in Norfolk to have great artists that will share their time and equipment. Since Kieron's first exhibition, which was totally unexpected, it was only meant to be a local display of his work, Kieron has progressed no end with his oil painting. We are visiting the coast a lot more so not only does he have the view, he has the space to go wild like any other 7 year old boy!!! While he's happy, we're happy, regards, Michelle Sincere thanks to all the positive comments about Kieron’s work, as parents we are amazed on a daily basis that he can get so much out of his art work.

I do think perspective can be taught to a child. I dabble with art at home so my daughter's interested and soaks up everything like a sponge. Watercolors are always a fun medium. There used to be this neat local exhibition at malls of children who did amazingly creative and beautiful works of art from all the local schools (so it wasn't just art schools or private schools but all). It's completely possible. I say as long as they are having fun, that's great! I’m not cynical. I do think perspective can be taught to a child.

If that does not raise suspicion, nothing will. The video of him painting a single line didn't convince me either. I hate to be a party pooper, but FTA: His mother is married to an art dealer..

Not to be a snooty critic but looks like the street is flooded. Or is it a waterway? Probably a canal connected to a river in the background. Still beats my stick figures of course.

They forget this skill around 10 or so and and instead become reliant on the symbolic and the iconic. Let's hope this boy doesn't forget what made him so brilliant.

Whoever painted these is really quite talented. Watercolor is a deceptively difficult medium to master. I think I'd be a little concerned (happily) if my 8 year old did this. I hope it's legit and this kid never stops, he seems to love doing it. Man, I hate to be the skeptic, but I’m going to be the skeptic. Whoever painted these is really quite talented.

The scenes aren't only correctly portrayed, but also beautiful and emotional. Watercolors are difficult to work with too, but obviously not for this kid. What did I draw when I was six?
