This video shows what can be accomplished in a short sitting time, maybe 5-10 minutes. I can make a flower, enjoy the process (most important), and finish. Please continue with some more of these videos. They show me that I can paint what you show. You have such a pleasant attitude and voice.Encouraging viewers to paint with what they have, but also giving names of colors and types of paper and paintbrushes, you are the reason I am trying once again to paint with watercolor. Keep up the wonderful work you are doing. You are making your corner of the world engaged and happy!

This provided another pathway for my watercolor journey. I'm usually the loose, flowing, pastel girl, trying to keep it light and airy. This felt so "naughty!" and was so bold. It was fun. Will probably not be my go-to style for most but it does help to keep things fresh. It was fun and you take away all my fear of "Screwing it Up." Thank you for that freedom. Purchased a rigger and liner brush at your urging. So glad I did! Love them both. (Hmmmm...a cat's tongue...don't have one of those....yet!)

I may have been doing too much with the liner brush lately, but who cares?! I have some good calligraphy ink, I think I ’ll use for the flourishes. I am smitten with Dioxazine purple for the background rather than the blue, but time will tell.
