Diane, your tutorials are the best of anything I’ve watched on KZfaq and I watch watercolor KZfaqs all the time. You are uplifting and fun. You’re so comfy to watch and it feels like we could put the kettle on and have a cup of tea together. Your tutorials are easy to follow and allow me to be successful, which is such an encouragement. Thank you for all your hard work in preparation for your videos. I always enjoy them. You are appreciated.

I’m so sorry to hear about the fires and I Pray all is out of harms way. Thank you again for the wonderful tutorial and I look forward to watching the next one. Love your sheeps names how cute !
