I really enjoy wtaching you Jillian . You have a way of explaining things in a way I can understand. 💗 I am starting to realize you do need to use your body to get in to your painting and, just have an open mind that your art mite come out different from what you had in mind lol .

I thank you for your honesty around hand holding watching RUclips’s as a crutch. It is encouraging to hear you voice your opinion and it does resonate with me.

What an amazing tutorial, Thank you very much. Joined ,and now I cannot pull up the sign in . Can you possibly help me to sign in so that I may begin my journey. Agin, thank you

Jillian, thank you for saying out loud what my soul did not know to put into words.

I am a beginner in watercolors. Strangely my best painting so far was a monochrome blue painting. I love blue and I love painting in monochrome.

Yep, made collecting paints and stuff my hobby,not the actual painting. 😅

fascinating video ☺☺

Thanks for promoting Perth, my home for the past 9 years! Mijello’s Burnt Sienna is my favourite colour 😍. It is also very very close to MaiMeri’s popular Dragon’s Blood.

This is such a great topic! I am still learning a lot about social media and the fear of not posting everyday as a newbie, is very stressful for me, especially when traveling. I truly appreciate you sharing your experience with this. Beautiful painting!

so nice ❤❤❤

These roses are lovely, and I’m very happy to learn a technique other than the C curve. I think this technique makes a more natural, less predictable rose, so I say thank you!

Hello. Could you please list the colors you used in this painting?

I think you are right about practicing something over and over-when I try that, often my best illustration turns out to be the first one I did. I feel like the spontaneous nature of the first try, is lost in the repetition. I don’t get to paint everyday, and usually I notice I paint better after I’ve skipped a day. For me, this means all the time I’m away from the paints, and the painting process is turning over and over in my mind, and eventually shows up as a refreshed outlook and a better result. I love your style, your approach, and your finished product-I’m inspired to loosen up even more. Thanks for the excellent instruction.

Very good advice!

Do you sell your painting?

Lol

I listen to your videos while I paint and do my own thing. I follow your channel because I feel connected to your approach- needing a creative outlet to balance my life focused on being a mom to young children right now ❤

Aw.. what a wonderful video, thank you Jillian. I found what you said - about everyone having an inner child who is waiting to be seen - so moving. And true. I'm so thankful for tutorials; I have needed someone I trust and like to hold my hand; but am also thankful to be starting to trust that my decisions about what to do (and where to swish the brush) are also valid and necessary. Thank you for cheering us on as we take our steps with gratitude xx

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts with us.

Thank you! This was so so helpful. I've become too reliant on tutorials and that destroys my ability to express my self through my art.

You are a favorite teacher for me. I’ve honestly needed to take a break from tutorials because my summer is so busy. However, I still love painting, so I spend time whenever I can, just playing with my watercolors. I have a drawer full of beautiful watercolor paintings I created from following tutorials. I’m proud of them, but they aren’t “mine.” I copied a line drawing, I made sure I had the right colors and brushes. I paused the videos so I could make sure I was following as closely as possible, and frankly, it really wasn’t much fun. I cannot tell you how much your words mean to me. You give me hope, strength, enthusiasm, and patience. I have the ability, but I don’t have the self confidence most of the time. This is supposed to bring joy to my life, not make me feel like I’m not good enough. Thank you for being you. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Thank you for making watercolor fun!

For such a young person, you are very wise. I have been secretly feeling like a fraud and want to paint from a reference as well. I have tried doing this but it didn't always work out too well. I will give it another try. Thank you.

I have been feeling the same way lately about what I'm painting. I want to paint it "my way" along with using the experience and knowledge I have gained through YT tutorials I have watched. I am always grateful for all of you out there in RUclips Land who share your talent and knowledge and love of painting. I appreciate you so much.

Thank you Jillian for succinctly putting into words what I have been feeling and struggling with over the years. ❤❤

❤🙏🌞🌸Very inspiring and insightful thought's! Thank you!!🧡🌟

Thank you for taking us on your walk with you but more importantly, thank you for not giving up! Your style of art is so unique and beautiful! You are such a positive influence to the art community, weather someone is a beginner or an advanced artist, you truly inspire all.

I was trying to find the book you were carrying when you first walked into your studio. It looks like it’s different than the one you posted in the links in the description. Can you share the title of this book and author so I can buy it as a gift. It looks so beautiful. And your work is stunning! Thank you!

In chosen practice struggle is healthy. Otherwise no true self development can occur. Also it's an exercise in maturity🌼

That is so beautiful! You give so much confidence to us to try on our own! Yes, we have come to rely so much on tutorials! As i was watching you paint, a hundred questions was running through my mind! As to when you applied the next layer?, did you wait for the first one to dry? Etc. we have to learn to let go and paint on our own instincts at times! I agree! Hope this transitions my tryouts a bit easier! It’s good that my art stays within the four walls of my home and also in my sketch books and not even seen by anybody!! 😅 Thanks for your encouragements! Enjoy every bit of your channel contents!

You are so correct. I really need to get off of youtube!!!

I think I’m now in this place. I’m tired of trying to keep up with tutorials and having anxiety knowing that my painting isn’t going to look like the instructor’s. So I am going to pick out a reference photo and try and do the best I can. I have a lot of trouble remembering how to layer. I think it is because I want results too fast and I try to paint things completely right away. I also have issues with perspective and shadows, but I think the obstacle you speak of here would have the most long term effect on being content and relaxed. And that will help me be in a better mindset so I improve my creativity. Thank you for your video. It helped me highlight which things are most important to work on. Have a great day!😀

I love this video! I pretty much feel the same way. At the beginning of my journey, i was only using tutorials for several months . There was definitely a dependency . Thank you so much for discussing! I love the direction your channel has gone

Thank you ❤ I do need to jump in and go for it as far as painting goes. I love to watercolor, but for some reason, I don't know why I'm scared to just get into my beautiful craftroom and create. I do not know what is golding me back besides that and time. 😊

I always love to hear about what you overcome. As an observer, you always assume the artist is just able to miraculously deliver every time. I loved hearing about what you wish you had done as I always feel that I could repaint a better version. Thanks again for your honesty and openness. ❤

Thank you so nuch for this video. Last night I made a decision to paint from my own photos the subjects I want to paint in my own style. Painting from life is an option for me as well. I think we will grow as artists. Be brave!

Also this collection of paint and strokes in your sketchbook reminds me of the Vincent Van Gogh painting in “Working with Flowers”. I could see it coming alive as you were painting. So inspiring.

I just found you on Utube and what a revelation! Emma Lefebvre, who is another extremely talented artist, recommended you in one of her videos. You are truly a gift. Your explanation of not to be afraid of an empty white page opened up a new perspective for me. I can’t wait to go into my studio and pick up my brush and just create. Your use of color and strokes is magical. Thank you for sharing your talent with us!❤

So inspiring..

Excellent! Your painting is beautiful. I appreciate hearing your thought process as you go along, what to be mindful of, etc.

You are so talented. I don’t mind silence as you work. The rose video was with two voices and music that jerked in and out I really enjoyed your work and don’t mean to sound critical. I just thought you would like to know. I love your work!

Your work is Absolutely so beautiful and mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts most of us “artists” have pondered. Doing so, has given me the freedom to embrace myself as an artist and now the sky is the limit. You’ve unlocked my practice and somehow given me legitimacy, which I could have done all along myself. It’s like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz. Thank you Jillian, you are a beautiful soul ❤and I appreciate all you are putting out there in the world for good. God Bless you and your family of littles. 😊

Beautiful 😍 what paper did you use?

Hi Jillian, your Brush Movement member here. I was just wondering why you would use inks for this commission piece knowing that they are not lightfast. Did you eventually treat it with a spray or place it underneath UV protective glass of the frame?

Beautiful scripture and hand lettering and stunning florals, Jillian!

It's says your watercolors you love but not what was actually used in this video I recognize dr ph martins.... can you tell me what you used Please & Thank you 😊

It's so beautiful. I am calligraphy artist and watercolour enthusiastic who likes to do watercolour florals and Calligraphy too.i can relate to this so much ❤️ 🫶

I don’t think I could cope with the pressure it seems far to scary and I would be worrying all the time that they might not like it. Ha ha. I could hardly watch you doing the lettering. What if you made a mistake after doing all the painting. Wow your brave
