Darling girl, you have no idea how inspiring your generous UTube videos are to me. I thank you for your sincerity and wish you every blessing for sharing your talents. I’ve been through several major surgeries and have lost my mojo!! But, I can’t wait to put that paint that’s staring at me on the paper!! I look forward to each and every video you produce and move into a space without pain. You are so generous, thanks again and keep safe and well 😊
Thanks so much Chris for your kind words. Please take care of yourself, that’s the most important, now’s a great time to just watch lots of tutorials and when you can finally paint you will…maybe just do some sketch work as you lay around recovering, that might help a little too. Be bless.
I don't know if you have noticed but you have a beautiful heart in one of the pink flower heads. Look in the 5th one from the right. You have a stem painted right under it. Lovely happy accident!
I am so grateful to have stumbled onto your painting videos Debra, it's a life changer for me. I have always wanted to do loose watercolor flowers and am so grateful to watch and listen to all your advice and see how you go about it.
Thank you so much 😀 I’m so happy you enjoy the paintings, painting loose is very freeing and fun, and to work intuitively is even better. I hate getting hung up on “what should I paint next”. And following a photo isn’t fun for me either. Thanks for tuning in!!
You are so welcome! yeah, for whatever reason, I love dragging my brush through what I just painted…its like fixing your hair and then messing it all up, but it sure feels good to get in there and mess it up 😂
You know you are one of my top favorite teachers of all time and I love this experiment! But I have nightmares about these tiny plastic beads. If they end up in wastewater, they are too small to be filtered out and they do get into the watershed, creeks, rivers and ocean. People need to be super responsible about using them. Of course I highly doubt that the nail salons consider this point of view. Much love. Thank you for the wonderful lesson. I just checked the store and the beads are described as GLASS! Seems like a better material for these! 😂
Hi Debra. Do you have a illustrated abstract water colour book with you demonstrating your various methods and completed paintings. I'm intrigued with your style
Hi Debra Lyn, Still just watching and working on my confidence to start with one of your lovely ideas. I am from South Africa, but understand that I can buy most of my requirements through Amazon, which is great. I'm not too sure how to start putting together a (basic) watercolor kit. Are those colors you work from your own choices, or can I get something similar and then just gradually add. (I would like to paint flowers) I also need advice on some brushes I will need please. Thank you so very much for the joy and inspiration I receive from watching your videos!
I am nearing getting close to being organized after a move so I am looking forward to trying your large loose painting. I had the opportunity to get a couple dozen sheets of bockingford cp 140# wc paper from hobby lobby on clearance so I won’t be hesitant to play. Have you tried to do a light wash of color first on background leaving some white then letting that dry and then doing stems and flowers on top? Tfs
Hi Debra. I love your artwork. Question on the fixative; have you noticed any color shift? When I used that fixative on a soft pastel painting I did experience the dreaded color shift.
No color shift with watercolor. I know what you mean with pastels…I’ve thrown out pastels paintings in the past after spraying with fixative…its not that way with watercolor, at least with the brands I’ve uses.
I absolutely love your videos. I have been inspired by you and your beautiful art. I would love to purchase a big chunky brush like the one you use here. I’ve seen you use it in other paintings I believe you call it a quill. Where can I get one?
What an awesome video! I really love the painting and I am one of those artists that adores adding the unusual for keeping things interesting! I have never heard of adding micro-beads but can't wait to try it. I have one question; are the beads shiny or lustrous? I can't quite tell from the video what kind of finish you end up with. I have subscribed to you channel and look forward to many more of your tutorials! Take care.
Thanks so much, i use mainly Fabriano Artistico 140# Cold Press. Keep in mind how it handles for me here in FLorida with the AC running 24/7 may handle different for you.
Thank you for another beautiful painting. I love to watch you work and was fascinated by the use of the microbeads with the mod podge. I wonder if microbeads in perhaps a clear color could be used to show tiny droplets of water or if there’s another technique that you use? I’m a beginner and I must confess that watching your videos is keeping me up at night! Thank you.
Ooops, sorry to keep you up! 😆 yeah, I’m sure they could be used in that way, there are larger glass beads out there too. The sky’s the limit when it comes to art, never box yourself in! Thanks so much for tuning in!!!
I cannot find something called a “workhorse brush”. Is that your name for it or is it that technical name? I cannot find it in your Amazon shop either.
Beautiful work! ❤

Beautiful work, Debra-Lyn…I love how fearless you are in changing il up ! You are a super teacher!
Thanks so much Dede, you’re the best as well as your sister! Thank you for always cheering me on!
That is so beautiful and the bling is cool! I love anything pink or purple, so I'm really glad you love and use pinks!
A beautiful abstract. The video has paused for a moment. Love your work and would love to subscribe and see more of you're work.
Thank you so much!
I am so grateful to have stumbled onto your painting videos Debra, it's a life changer for me. I have always wanted to do loose watercolor flowers and am so grateful to watch and listen to all your advice and see how you go about it.

Hello from the US Martha, waving to you from the other side of the pond! Im glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for tuning in!
I am almost never interested in painting flowers but after finding and watching your videos I want to try. I love your loose style and colors!
Thank you so much 😀 I’m so happy you enjoy the paintings, painting loose is very freeing and fun, and to work intuitively is even better. I hate getting hung up on “what should I paint next”. And following a photo isn’t fun for me either. Thanks for tuning in!!
I love the webbing you do to connect the plants! Thanks for another great demo!
You are so welcome! yeah, for whatever reason, I love dragging my brush through what I just painted…its like fixing your hair and then messing it all up, but it sure feels good to get in there and mess it up 😂

Debra this is fantastic and so what I aspire to. Thank you so much. Still wondering why your paper doesn’t buckle?
Hi Debra. Do you have a illustrated abstract water colour book with you demonstrating your various methods and completed paintings. I'm intrigued with your style
Not yet! But maybe some day, its on my bucket list!!!

No, i don’t do washes before. The bockingford wont’ handle a lot of water, your best bet is to use 100% cotton.

Thank you so much for supporting the channel!!! 🩷
Love your channel - I just mentioned you in my hacks video at 13:24 - it's your toilet paper idea : )
I’m sorry, but im not sure what video you’re referring too…help this poor girl out lol

Thank you! Here a link to the brush, i use size 120 the most. amzn.to/3nhlhdm

Thanks so much, yes the beads have some luster to them. Thanks for subscribing!!!
Beautiful art . Please tell me the name of the paints you used as I can't get this depth of colour with my paints . Thanks ..Jill
Hi Debra beautiful painting. What kind of paper do you use, exactly? It holfs the water really well
Thanks so much, i use mainly Fabriano Artistico 140# Cold Press. Keep in mind how it handles for me here in FLorida with the AC running 24/7 may handle different for you.

Love this, so beautiful! How do you put so much water on the paper and it doesn’t buckle?
Thank you! Well, first off i live in a humid environment (Florida in the US). Second, I used Fabriano Artistico paper, it works like a charm.
I see you said in a reply that you use Fabriano Artistico paper. Hot or cold press???? Thanks for sharing.
Cold Press
I cannot find something called a “workhorse brush”. Is that your name for it or is it that technical name? I cannot find it in your Amazon shop either.
It’s a saying…meaning it works hard. Here’s a link…amzn.to/3WONwhe
I want a big brush - can you please share the size of your large brush
Here you go, i use the size 120 all the time amzn.to/3IqNQw9
Please forgive me if this has been raised before but why does your paper not buckle?
I used a lot of Fabriano Artistico paper, but I also live in HUMID Florida!!!
What palette knifes do you use
Depends on what I’m painting. Usually metal ones i purchased at Hobby Lobby here in the US.
