Your link isn’t valid :(

I think tinyurls were part of the IT outage from the other day. Seems to be working now? But here's the full link- www.rebelunicorncrafts.com/product-page/bonus-bundle-travel-edition-starter-watercolor-set-and-two-woneder-brushes

Yes, I definitely want it to feel accessible to all! No pretentiousness here 😊

But you *are* painting! Allow it to be fun, don't expect perfection, and just make what you like. That is what real art is truly about. Also, consider cutting some of your art into trading cards and swapping with other artists. I would love to get one from you. ❤

Give yourself more grace! As long as you're enjoying it and having fun along the way, sounds like successful painting to me!

Don't judge your work by others. Some have been painting for way longer than we have! I can claim to have been learning to paint with acrylics, but I stopped after 3 yrs to dapple in other media. And I've been learning watercolor for three years now, but I tend to watch more than actually put the paint on my brush then get it onto the paper. I need more action than inaction... we've got this, right!?

I'm 71 ... sounds like you're having fun! What do you like to paint??? What colors do you love using??? I've only been at this a couple years and have taken a break for 18 months! However, I'm always watching watercolor artists!!! ❤ Thank you for sharing! 😊

🥳🥳🥳 Happy to help!

You're so sweet! Happy to help and happy you're here

I'm so glad you're experimenting and painting!! And I actually just posted a community blog entry about my Patreon about an hour ago. We do a live paint along once a month, plus some other perks 😊www.youtube.com/@RebelUnicornCrafts/community

Thank you for the kind words. The Unicorn Food Palettes (12 and 18 ct) I actually have manufactured for me, but I hand selected each color after lots of trial and tweaks. I do make the handmade special and limited edition palettes/individual colors on my site though.

@@RebelUnicornCrafts They are gorgeous paints and it's such a treat to paint with them. I created 2 closet hangers filled with swatch "kitties," cookie cutter cats I painted, then put all of their info on each colored kitty. I did that to many many palettes in my art closet, and have quite the collection on these 2 hangers! Yours is first, however, on the hanger, and look happy and colorful, Lacey! I almost expect them to smell like their names! :)

That makes me so happy to hear!! Enjoy! And you have a great community here to help if you need it.

You're very welcome!

You're welcome 😊

Thank you so much!

Exactly, link doesn’t work…:(

Sorry about that! 🤔I wonder if tinyurl was impacted by the software outage this weekend. Seems to work now, but here's the full link- www.rebelunicorncrafts.com/product-page/bonus-bundle-travel-edition-starter-watercolor-set-and-two-woneder-brushes

@@RebelUnicornCraftsNo it’s KZfaq, you can’t share links in “Shorts” anymore. It’s been this way now for a few months. I just don’t know why they stopped it, I only know that they did. Hope this helps clear things up.

Thanks! I actually have them made for my shop, after *lots* of testing and adjusting, since I wasn't completely pleased with similar brushes out there 😊- rebelunicorncrafts.com/product-page/size-3-quill-brush

You'll want some sort of palette to put them onto and then you can mix and paint from there. I've got an old short about tubes here, if that helps- kzfaq.infoX9_qYHEOcF8

Everyone has to start somewhere! If someone had only worked with paint that they could dip right into might not realize it right away.

Yeah, I have to agree, this kind of threw me for a loop. If you've been watching her videos and contemplating getting into watercolors for a while, how can you not know they involve water? I mean, if you just landed on Earth from outer space, I'd understand, but.....

You are so welcome! I hope you're enjoying your journey 🖌
