Liked your 3 principles, the oath you take before painting !

I looked for 'Robin and blossom watercolour' for inspiration to paint my Mothers Day card. We are in the UK and she has Robins in her garden. We say that "when Robins appear, a loved one is near", she takes comfort in that and loves feeding her garden birds. Blossom season is beginning here so this will be perfect. Thank you for making such fun and helpful tutorials.

Really like your videos and way of teaching. Your oath is meaningful for living a more stress free life, being kind in all things is important. Being English and loving our robins ( who are much smaller than American ones) English robins are feisty, yet can become friendly when you're working in the garden. As you mentioned that you're improving your teaching please let me mention that our Robins are pale whitish below the red.😊 no disrespect for your excellent painting and great information ❤

Crabapples make fantastic jelly

Curious if you’ve ever taped your work to an art board instead of the table so you can turn it?

Hi Sarah! Thanks for tuning in! Of course, and you can watch our Rainstorm tutorial here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aJlzmZt6vrS9h4k.html where Sarah demonstrates how to do that. Happy painting!

Crabapples are nasty to just eat but they make fantastic jelly.I grew up eating crabapple jelly

Thanks for teaching us something today we did not know. We will definitely have to add trying crabapple jelly to our bucket list.

You just reminded me of the crab apple jelly my grandma made from the fruit of her trees on the farm. Thank you for that memory. ☺️

This was fun. My only complaint is Keenan's name suggestion of the name. Otherwise, 10 out of 10. I am doing this again with my bird loving kids. And one of them suggested a Sandhill crane as another bird to paint. Or a goldfinch.

We hope your kids enjoy painting this with you! Please tell them thank you for the great project suggestions, we totally passed them along to our team!
