I love this painting with the distress oxides. It opened up a whole new way of working with the distress and sketching. Thank you so much for making this so much fun.

You have kept me company all afternoon and I have enjoyed trying to paint your roses ,so far so good ,I just got lost for 3 hours . Thanks .

I am just besotted with this. Love every color, technique, etc.

I found your channel a few weeks ago and I am absolutely loving your videos. I have learned so much from you. I love the real time videos you are sharing. So often I will watch you draw and paint and think that it looks terrible. But then I keep watching and it turns out gorgeous. That alone has given me the confidence to not give up when I make something. Thank you so much!

The more I watch your videos, the more I am inclined to want to try to freehand draw. (stick figures are challenging to me). You often say to "just have fun" and I think that is where I struggle the most. Fun is the key word. Everything does not have to be a masterpiece which is hard to take in and truly believe. Not sure why we struggle to achieve fun and not perfection but I sure do. Thank you again for sharing your amazing talent, your time and your encouragement. Truly enjoy . Still living out of packing containers and muddling through hoping to get to some art supplies in the next weeks.

Yeah a new Video Love Love Love it thank you ist Look sooo beautiful

What an awesomely cool idea! 🤩 Turned out beautifully!

This is so lovely. I can really see the effects of a loose painting technique. It gives such a different soft quality. I have never used distress inks before to brush in colour. The results are stunning and well worth a try. Thank you for your suggestions. They are greatly appreciated. I hope that you do produce your doodles as digitals. They would be a wonderful resource.

You are such a good instructor, and I enjoy your tutorials immensely. I've got an art background, have taught some classes, a😮nd have been looking at ways to combine my own art with my journaling, stamping and all the fun stuff that goes with it. Voila! I discovered you! ❤️. Thank you for the inspiration. I started out working towards a career in art, but the fun drained out with the pressures of producing fine art for others to buy. Now, at 70, I only care about having fun as you point out is a good thing.

I’m so glad that Artymaze mentioned you! Enjoying your channel/tutorials. Yes I’m subscribed. ☺️

🙌👍👏👏geweldig mooi ! 🌻🇱🇺

I love your creativity and dioxi thing that I learned today how to use w/ you and above everything that green is my favorite really beautifull.Thank you

Loved it Going to watch more of your vids... thanks for sharing it looks great

Love your art and instructions!!

Love it, love it, love it!

Never ever would I have thought to put paint brush to distress ink oxide and use like water color. How cool.

Just now getting to this video, can’t wait to try this! Btw if you buy Knockout Roses you can’t fail. You can cut them back to a foot above the ground and they will still come back. I can’t doodle, but I can bake and grow roses 😄

💜 so much fun, loving the green …I’m learning a lot from you, thank you 🌟from NZ🍒

Something new to try 🎨❤️

I just recently found you, and you have become my favorite artist and teacher. Love your projects.😊

I am a new subscriber and have to tell you that not only do I love your creations, I love how you approach doing art! Fun- we have various hobbies because we enjoy doing them- if you let perfectionism take over- it’s pretty hard to have fun!! Plus and this IS a big plus- I absolutely love your teaching style!! I feel like we are good friends and I am in your art space and you are showing me how to paint. I watch a ton of different art videos but you are now one of my first go to channels! Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Beautiful x

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

💜💜💜 so pretty! Thank you

What a great idea will be trying this for sure TFS🇬🇧🦋🦩

Really pretty!

Thank you so much for posting this tutorial 💗 I really enjoyed watching you experiment with these inks! I doodle a lot and have recently started collage art in my half filled sketchbooks so I love this idea! Another medium to try. Oh and I have subscribed to your channel.

Thanks. I’m gonna try this.

Never would have thought to try to paint with distress oxides but it makes such a lovely, watercolor effect look! TFS the inspiration!

So lovely!

Absolutely gorgeous 😍

so nice ❤️😍

I saw your Facebook post and had come watch! This looks so fun!

Stunning!!

Can’t believe I never thought of printing on Watercolour paper 😮 What an awesome idea! And never thought of using Oxide sprays as a watercolour but what a gorgeous effect!

Gorgeous I love your work Hugs Bonnie

Very inspiring!

❤

I just love watching you create. I was a lucky winner of one of your packages which I received the other day and wow, I absolutely love it all, Thank you for sharing your wonderful creations with us all.

I always look forward to a new video from you. Gad you took a little creative time for us. This came out really nice. Using the inks has never crossed my mind. Not in this fashion. So fun to learn new ideas. Thanks for sharing with us. *Debbie*

Michelle, you are such a talented artist. I love to watch and join in, hoping I may one day be an accomplished artist. So thank you for all your inspiration xx Jo xx

Absolutely beautiful. You make it seem so easy. Should have given such great inspiration. Thanks for sharing 🌴😍💕

Beautiful picture - I have been eagerly awaiting a new tutorial from you and hope you can continue posting during your house-build. It's true what you say about doing quick and relaxed pics - as soon as I slow down and start trying to concentrate on details it gets out of proportion and goes wrong. I use your idea of going back afterwards with pencil or pen to detail and it makes a big difference. Thanks for showing us how!

Thank you! I love to watercolour with distress inks and I got 4 new colours to add to my stash for my birthday so I'm really excited to try this! I just love your videos Michele, you are so very talented at what you do 😊💞 Rose xxx

I love this so much, thank you for sharing it with us! I love your paint palette too!

I just found you!!! U r fabulous!!!!

Absolutely gorgeous! Love this a lot! It is so amazing and relaxing to see you create, you are a great teacher! Thank you so much for sharing and for the inspiration, take care x

Beautiful! Such a good tutorial! Thanks so much.

enjoyed your video

I just discovered your channel and am loving the videos I've seen so far! I'm a card-maker of many, many years and LOVE the oxide inks! I also dabble in watercolor, often "copying" images I find online; you can be sure I'll be trying my hand at your sketch and using the color palette as well! Thanks for sharing your creativity and talent! I look forward to seeing more! :) CopyCatCards (Sharon) :)

❤🎉

Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for inspiration

WOW, so happy to have found your channel. artymaze suggested that I have a look at what you do 🙌🙌🙌🔊so glad I did. Adding you to my favorite list. thank you for being so easy to follow. pat in Ohio

You are great

Uit BRUGGE BELGIUM Thank you so much I am a beginner love your lesson ❤

So gorgeous. You’re so talented!

Please add a Morning Glory sketch tutorial.

Fabulous! I really hope you use these to create a journal kit for those of us who cannot paint:)

I love your work and the process you are sharing . Unfortunatly I have vertigo which makes it difficult to watch any vidoes where the camera shakes. Please Please dont take this as a negative comment but could you set up camera on a separate stand to the table you are working on? Please ignore if it is a hassle...no worries. Cheers Judy

I enjoy your tutorials. Just an FYI. It's Distress not Distressed. 😊

Now I checked out your Etsy store,,the downloads are what size for each like I’m making 5x7 so would each fit that size or what would the cost be ,,thanks,,hugs

I find it funny that people still buy the cheap Michael's stuff at a much higher price when they can go to Walmart and get cheap watercolor paper, 50 count, 130# for $10.97.

Do you pull all these images / doodles out of your head, or do you copy them? I am not good at free hand.
