What a lovely picture you created. I learned SO MUCH about approaching “collaging” in a whole new way. It is imminently doable and less daunting than how I normally collage. Your techniques blew my mind as it exploding with new ideas. Thank you for sharing!

There is a beautiful thread that winds its way through the comments here. It is the word INSPIRED. This is the first time coming across your channel and what a lucky day for me. Your warm delivery and wonderful Talent have moved something that has been stuck in my creative heart, I am really grateful. Wish I knew stronger words than thank you. 🥰

So glad i found you on You Tube. I used to watch you a lot on skillshare but haven't seen you in awhile. Now that I am more into mixed media and teach a little group I am excited to see your tutorials again. You are one of the artists I most respect that I watched on Skillshare. I don't use Skillshare as much and am glad to be able to subscribe to your wonderfull work.

Wow, that’s great to hear. You nailed it. Loose hands!! I have a series I’m going to release here on the channel called draw loose, paint loose. It’s inline with your comment. Hope you get a chance to see them.

i love the playfulness. it helped me to loosen up my one art and dareness to paint. but, the sound volume is far to low, just that you know.
