    Oh … and I really, really love these tutorials that are available for free on RUclips that I can share with those I know paint but may not be in a position yet to buy a class. I feel like it is a great intro to you and also such a wonderful addition for anyone like me that also has purchased so many of your amazing classes and want to do more outside the classes. Plus it is like a visit with you in your studio and I love that!! ♥️

    I’ve listened to the podcast episodes for the second…..or maybe third time. I don’t have any ideas for episodes but love ideas on finding inspiration. I also really found the episode about just starting so beneficial. After taking the sketching class (which I loved!) I’ve started a mostly daily sketching practice. I had a hard time knowing what to do with a blank page and that class, and the daily practice is really helping. So maybe expanding on that previous episode? I loved all the episodes and found them really helpful so looking forward to more ❤️

      Oh my gosh, so glad Deborah! I'm inspired now to record more. Enjoy exploring and experimenting! ❤

    Could you demo how you make your own watercolor sketchbooks?? I’d love to make my own. I use a lot of watercolor paper testing colors and combinations and drawings. Making my own would really make me feel independent! ❤

      I teach a few different ways in my watercolor classes. Hopefully you can join a class one day!

    I love sketchbooks or watercolour journals! I've done "Sketching for watercolour" course and now doing "Creative freedom in sketchbook". I like this video too. I love the colour of Rose matter! I should play around in journals, that way I can improve my painting skills. I like your way of teaching which is very effective as well as enjoyable.

      RUclips is great for sound tips, but I hope you do invest in a class or a book to help you with foundational techniques and approaches too! Have fun exploring!

    I love each of the current Podcasts and can see going back to listen again and again and finding new gems. I will try to think of what suggestions for future episodes I may have. At the moment, I feel like with all your experience in life - whatever you decide to do a podcast on, I will appreciate and learn from. Thank you! Any suggestions on how to keep balance between art work and family life raising a family (I homeschool 3 still currently). Thanks :)
    (Maybe that could be one)💕🤗

    I can't imagine the books destroyed to make these. It's a shame to see a book torn apart really.

    • @lifeidesign

      I like to think of it as saving books from being recycled or ending up in a dump. Especially the ones that are falling apart and damaged. :)
