I have missed you so much. You are my favorite artist in the world. Please don't ever stop posting your gouache tutorials. I would love to see you paint an ocean scene with animals and coral and other stuff. Please. Would love to see your take on all that with gouache and color's. Happy holidays

Nice to see you back. I like Autumn makes me sing, weather is cooler, leaves are dropping I still like to jump in them, kick them around or better yet do leave angels 😇. Happy music is just right. Have a great week thanks for the fun video.

I've been in stuck in a creative rut/burnout, not creating anything for so long and this made me feel better

I was sure that november was autumn too but everyone seems to have jumped into winter mode already now christmas is coming up 😂 good to have you back ❤

[@ritawilbur6128]

Good to see you again, Melanie! For the wrist pain and colored pencils, you might want to try Canson's sand grain paper. It's lightly textured, but ironically I feel like it grabs more of the pigment and actually gets better coverage without having to press down as hard. One negative for you, though, is that it's not really good for wet media. But for colored pencils you might want to try it, and at least here in the US it's very cheap. Just a tip, if you'd be interested!

Thanks for the tip 😊

Glad to see your back. Your art is so beautiful.

Thumbs up for taking a break! :)

I am literally EXACTLY the same with regards to wheather!! Maybe it's the ADHD.
Also this video has made me want to paint a maple leaf, so I'm gonna go do that now :)
Also, I wasn't aware that people treat november as though it's part of winter. To me december is even still autumn, I don't care about christmas at all lol.
