The splatter guard idea was worth the time ALL BY ITSELF! Thank you for these helpful tip videos! And I kinda like ‘jug’ instead of ‘mug’…😉😂😂
Thanks Rachel!!! Your tutorials are extremely helpful! Greetings from Cozumel-Mexico!
Thank you! You live in a beautiful place!
非常棒！有中文字幕就更好了，会有很多很多粉丝。excellent! It's better to have Chinese subtitles. There will be a lot of fans!
This tutorial was so amazing to me......just love the sieve idea for splatters! Also, your sense of humor is great, you crack me up. I am hoping to join your patreon group after my first meeting with my Oncologist this Friday. If she gives me any hope for survival, I will join!
Thank you Susan and I sure hope you get good news!

adding the dark green in between the petals really cause everythng to pop off the page 🙂
Yes, contrast is almost always necessary to create a wow factor!
Zhuzhing is exciting 👊
Indeed!
I am always impressed with your videos and teaching style! I do have one question for you regarding the scrubber brushes: What do recommend to start with, the soft or stiff brush and what size is best for small to medium size paintings?
The smallest stiff scrubber is the one I use most of the time for smaller paintings. I rarely use my larger one and even more rarely use the soft ones. Just remember to use good paper with a scrubber, like Arches Cold Press!
Nice contrast!!!
Thank you ; )
Thank you
Those are cool methods to be sure... but you'll never hear me say... "zush" ... not gonna happen XD
Haha good to know 💗
