    This was not only relaxing to watch, but as an artist who has not worked much with watercolor, I was able to see useful tips/techniques. I always enjoy seeing a lefty at work...feels more natural as that is my dominant hand also🖌️♥️.

    She was using the watercolor brush like a color pencil! It’s amazing. I watched the one on how water colors were used in medieval times at it was also amazing!!

    Watching this brilliant piece reminded me of a wonderful quote by Winston Churchill from his book 'Painting as a Pastime' that goes, "Happy are the painters, for they shall not be lonely. Light and colour, peace and hope, will keep them company to the end, or almost to the end, of the day."

    I love how much time she takes to actually observe and map out the subject and then create depth with shadow and light before laying down colours. I love the tranquility of her process.

    I could watch a lot more of this - art being created, the actual process as it happens, and not just drawing/watercolour. This was fascinating and very peaceful and interesting to watch. I loved it.

    The person below said what I was thinking, that was mesmerizing. The artist was brilliant in her skill. Please have more videos like this. It was a pleasure to watch.

    Thank you so much for this video. I loved watching her creative process play out. So often the artist's actual hand in making a piece of art is unseen, so that the time and talent put into the "creating" is not always evident to the viewer. Artists can become disassociated from their work. The general public sees a beautiful watercolor but not always the artistic talent behind it. I hope I'm making sense. Please, please show more!

    A piece of paper feeling itself being painted upon must be a state of perfect bliss.

    The depth of color from so many faint layers applied in tiny brush strokes is amazing
