I had been watching so many videos of things to “NOT” to do that it does scare you into not playing. I’ve been taking all the mix match paper that I have had through the years of painting..not painting cycles and I just started using it all up playing and have spent hours of just not caring about the weight of what I shouldn’t do. I feel so much better about my art and I’ve made so many gains. You were the teacher I needed when I was a little girl and I know I would have blossomed and found the drive to become an artist. Nothing wrong with discovering it in my 60’s I guess. So thank you..you make me smile every time.

I’ve been doing acrylics for countless years. For given life reasons-internal and external, I’ve dried up. Though I’ve created a lot, sold some, and others love my whimsy style-I haven’t been able to paint. I do break some rules. I have to admit, I don’t know what most are as I mostly depend on my imagination. 😂 I’ve *never* delved into watercolor. I’m doing so now to see where it leads me. Breaking watercolor *rules* seems fitting right now for me-especially entering a new medium. Thanks, Kristy!

I love your comment about your paper staying wet since you live in the nw US. I am a desert dweller and have quite the opposite experience! Yesterday I made a nice bright green using phthalo turquoise and aureolin and was pleasantly surprised when the line I painted (wet in wet) of aureolin showed up. I love the combination of DS Amazonite Genuine tipped with Magenta. And I am crazy about granulating watercolors! I am definitely excited to follow your lead and audition a variety of colors for leaves. Sometimes it's hard to let go and try the unconventional - but I'm working on it! Many thanks for your exhuberance and encouragement. Your sparkle is just what this introvert needs! You are a blessing, Kristy.

I remember being fascinated with any new paint, while watching how it moves along the paper! Aqua Green, Winsor Newton, & Phthalos just thrill me! I went through this with blues 💙 also... then reds, you get the picture Kristy. Thank you 😊 for your encouragement to color "outside the lines" and to make art a part of joyful playtime!

I'm still learning I've only been watercoloring for a bit over a year, and you're videos teach things that others don't and definitely bring the fun and freedom into it! i have never used a liner brush, i have some skinny detail brushes and some pointy round brushes i use for details that you use your liner brush for. i probably will try a liner brush and a cats tongue someday though since i love buying new art supplies!

Use what you have... just knowing whatever frustration you might feel along the way is intensified by lower quality supplies. This isn't me being critical but me reminding you to be kind to yourself as you experiment! Sure your paper might pill a little or buckle but you can still enjoy the explosions of color. One last suggestion. Use up the low quality paper quickly. Work fast and experience the pigments with passion. You'll learn a ton and then can level up to better paper sooner, its a win win! Good paper is far more important that anything else :)
