    You are incredible. You are the answer to my prayers. Mostly, I see thee wonderful artists working magic on paper and find it heartbreaking when my own work seems so amateurish in comparison. But, you are actually teaching, every small detail, when one is likely to ake mistakes. I am watching all your tutorial videos now and my work is improving much. So, so happy and ever so grateful to you. Heartfelt thanks.

      I also like the music. It’s of course very subjective and cannot work for absolutely everybody. Without music it would be less relaxing and entertaining in my opinion😊 Thanks again!

    I teach beginning watercolor and I recommend your videos because 1) you have clear direction and 2) You break up your techniques into small chunks, which is easier for the beginner. Plus, I've learned a few things too! Thank-you! and I hope you'll continue making videos.

    @JadeLeaf1980 2 года назад +4

    Been really enjoying these videos. Everything looks complicated in the final product but weirdly is simple. You break down everything so simply and don’t overcomplicate steps or use confusing terminology, so it’s easy to absorb.
    I started on watercolour three years ago and ended up transitioning to dry mediums like pastels, charcoal and pencil instead because I had complete control unlike with watercolour. As odd as it’ll sound, I’ve always felt Watercolour is a chaotic and sometimes unpredictable medium (which is probably why it appeals to some people lol). I’ve never been one of those “give yourself into chaos” girls, but thanks to these vids, I’m just picking it up again, I’m inspired to step out of my comfort zone and let chaos ensue 🤣

I’m excited to try your techniques to improve my watercolor. It’s so easy to get frustrated when your painting doesn’t turn out or gets overworked and you feel stuck with multiple attempts. Watercolor can be so mysterious. Well You think I had a few fairly good paintings and now why aren’t my paintings turning out.
