    I really don't understand the negative comments about the music and volume. 🎶 Your voice and the music worked perfectly together. I liked the tune and it wasn't too loud or over-powering your voice. Believe me, there have been some RUclipsrs that I just cannot watch because you can't hear them talk because the background music is blaring! 🔊🙉

    • @DebWatson
      @DebWatson  2 месяца назад

      Stephanie, this is a 3/4 inch Silver Black Velvet oval wash brush. I like it because it is a soft wash brush that holds a lot of water plus it has a good point. I think they're worth the money as they don't wear out.

    It's beautiful but very hectic to watch. Maybe you can show the videos at normal speed. The world is already hectic enough.

      I will! I'll be posting older videos this summer but I will start posting at real life speed on my new videos.

    It would be nice if you could list the colors as you use them so that as we reply the video it would be helpful. And cut the music

      Thanks, Denise - I'll try to include the colors I'm using but the online lesson has a wide range of suggested colors so everybody can join in. And I am making the music much softer and less intrusive. Thanks for the feedback.

    Love the painting but hate the annoying background music.

      Sorry for the music, Diana, I'll try something different next time.

      Sorry to hear that I've switched to different music for the next video - much lighter. Thanks for the feedback!
