Marcus was asked by a friend, Doug Sharpe ( Founder & CEO ) of Additional Needs, Inc. out of Naples, FL to create a painting tutorial to help others.

Doug is Founder & CEO of Additional Needs, Inc. , whose mission is "To provide access to valuable resources and tools to help those with additional needs reach their full potential".

Since all of our shows have been canceled, Marcus had the time to immerse himself in creating this tutorial as a way to give back and give hope. I am really impressed how Marcus handled this challenge.

Although we were unable to bring anybody into the house other than family,I think we pulled this project off very well. A little ingenuity, tenacity, spirit of giving back and sending out some positivity got us in the groove. We had a lot of fun.

Marcus' sister-in-law, Maureen Ahmed did the filming with her iphone. Our nephew, Kamran Ahmed gathered all the data and did all the editing from his home in Berkeley, CA. We hope you will enjoy this painting tutorial and share with your friends, teachers.

Of course, you don't have to paint with your mouth, BUT if you wan't to try .....

PLEASE HELP THIS GO VIRAL

We hope you enjoy.
