I love watching your videos and have gotten brave in doing my sketching thanks to you. I like to add botanicals to my journals, also mushrooms and birdhouses. One thing I find difficult to sketch is tree bark. Maybe some day you could do a video on that. I always look forward to your videos and enjoy everything that you share!

I love learning to draw botanicals and birds. Love all of your tutorials

i have been sketching birds and water coloring them ,thanks to your inspirational videos

Thank you,I had a relaxing time doing the sketch with you, you have a nice relaxing way of encouraging us

I love it! The fact you just start with pen is always wild to me. I have to do pencil always. Even when water coloring. I need a rough sketch. I need to practice and get more confidence so I can let go. I love your style and how you teach. That plant is cool. I really liked your Instagram posts of the botanical studies...I'd love some videos of that maybe. I always love birds and flowers, so anything with those! I'm so glad it's warming up - it's 50-70 degrees here now and ahhh I've missed the sun!

I find doodling relaxing and it doesn't matter if I'm the one doing it or watching you do it on video. What a nice way to start the day. Beautiful drawing! Thank you!

Growing up on a farm in southern MS, the adults hated Crown Vetch. The cattle didn't eat it but it attracted the deer and it crept into the yard and garden and took over. But I always loved how delicate it looked. I don't think I've ever sketched it but now i will. :)

I love how relaxed you sketch. I also love your curly tendrils. I must do more sketching. Thanks for the inspiration

Love this! I've learned so much from you and always enjoy your videos! I'd love to see sketches of roses and daffodils please. I tend to zentangle and doodle, my brain seems to get confused when I am sketching but practice makes perfect. As long as I am enjoying it, I just keep going. Thank you so much for sharing, take care x

I sketched along with you today, I think that helps me learn better so I use your drawing as my reference. I really enjoyed drawing the mushrooms and birdhouses. I would like to be able to sketch like cute cottages or houses. Stone garden walls with flowers. Doorways. It is unbelievable to me when you speak of your weather, I live in Central Florida, it was 85F earlier this week.

These are so cute, Love it ☺☺

Happy Saturday Micgelle!!! This is one f my FAVORITE of the Pea family ( Legume) We have them here as n S.W. Iowa.. Purple/ Pink Vetch, and I think a yellow variety but a bit different..that grows out at the park/ pond.. I think you were also referencing another lovely cut flower garden relation. Sweet Pea....That can grow as a perennial in some areas... I always remember a older neighbor lady back in the 70's and 80's who had an amazing Sweet Pea garden, and would bring up a bunch in the summer when I lived or visited at home in DownEast Maine. So thoughtful and generous! I miss that! Your Botanical art is truly rendered so realistically, to my mind any way!!! Thank You for your generous time in sharing your passion here!! It is very much appreciated and admired!!!🌹🐚🌱🤗💝 Warmest Regards!! Oh, we had a light dusting is Snow earlier this afternoon.. Mixed bag of t-storms and snow in forecast next couple days! Crazy! We could use some rain for sure!! - Mindi🙋‍♀️

Vetch is a legume and is related to peas. Next time you see it, grab a bit of the leaves and have a nibble. It tastes like snap peas and is very slightly sweet. My horse absolutely loves it. We mostly have the common purple vetch in New Brunswick but we also have a yellow variety.

What a great way to fill up a sketchbook book!!!

Thank you for all your great tips. I like when you show a focus on series of drawings thematically. Mushrooms, mushroom houses, etc.. I have taken your ideas from drawing trees and incorporating truck textures into my weaving and needle artwork. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and inspiration!

So beautiful and pleasing to the eye!

I love watching you sketch. You have taught me so much.

You are correct when you say that it is a pretty invasive plant....boy - it spreads everywhere here in Manitoba. You are also correct - they really are a beautiful little plant to come across. Thank you for sharing.

I always enjoy watching your videos. Thank you for the encouragement. I have surprised myself following your tutorials. 😉

I love starting my day watching you be creative! You are such an inspiration!

Lovely! You are a really good instructor! ...I'll have to look back on your videos and see what other things you have sketched. I did some mushrooms using a charcoal pencil a few years ago and it was Fun! "🤔where did that sketch go?" 😆😂I'll find it! Thanks so much and have a wonderful weekend!🙋💚🌺

Mountain theme for my next journal.❤

I really enjoy watching you creat your art pieces and your tips too. Thanks for sharing. Hugs and stay well.

Oh, my! ❤ I love watching you doodle... I was just catching up with your videos and wanted to say I hope your hip is feeling better. ❤

Hi from Nova Scotia , I love your videos so inspiring

Beautyfull 👍🧡

Great suggestions

You always amaze me ❤

really great sketch, thank you!!!

I enjoyed watching you sketch this so much! I will certainly have a go at this. I am planning to make a nature journal, and I’ve been doing some little watercolour paintings to eventually put in it and I want to do some of these sketches that you teach, I would love something like this in my journal. Again I thank you for sharing your talents Michelle, you are so clever! 😀 I know you are planing to draw some frog, how about some cute little cottages? Just a suggestion, only if you want to. x

This is so great! I tried sketching along but I was using a Pilot ball pen so not much difference is line strength, but great to have a go!

I would love some help drawing a dachshund!! Thanks for your videos!! ❤

This may sound funny, but I am planning on making a Little Red Riding Hood journal. My favorite color and one of my favorite childhood books all wrapped up into one😊. I would like to see how to sketch a very simple Red Riding Hood and wolf. I just love your botanical plants, though, and plan on trying to sketch them also. I have such fun drawing the mushrooms you taught us about. Thank you so much for all the time you put into these videos. ❤

💜💜💜

Love the approach!

I love watching you sketch Michele. This would look so beautiful being displayed on a wall. Love your talent!

I would love too see you doodle a pig, bold, bright, fun

I love watching you sketch. I am getting better with my botanical sketches, but i am doing a journal about our visits to the local zoo, and I would love some tips on sketching animals, especially an elephant, please. xx

It's a beautiful plant, but it is invasive. Unfortunately that causes problems in the ecosystem where it and other invasive plants grow. There are many plants that are destructive to native plants. It's a shame because so many are beautiful. I live in North Carolina, U.S.A where kudzu covers trees, electric poles, even buildings. I don't know why, but many invasive species came from Japan and other Asian areas. I love the beauty of these plants, though. Thank you for this video, it's lovely.

Omg Michelle!! I don’t know what thrift stores you go to…I only find crap at mine!😂you find amazing stuff!!

👍👍👍💕💕💕🇩🇰

I also have difficulty in drawing tree bark. It would be great if at some point you could do a video and show everybody needing advice on how to draw bark.

Hi Michelle, I wanted to draw something, but couldn’t figure out what to draw out of all of the things in the world, lol! I then thought about you. Unfortunately, I can’t think of anything to recommend, but if can tell you that those tendrils are called , Klingons, lol, Jk! Sorry, I can’t resist a Star Trek joke. Tfs, Julie 🥰

Oh can you sketch some daffodils? ❤

These don’t grow in the Western Cape…Mediterranean type climate. Our commonest blue/ purple wildflower is Echium Vulgare which is EVERYWHERE! My favourite thing to sketch is definitely botanicals. I just wish I were better at it.

Hello, gorgeous! Thank you but a little too complicated for me😢❤

Any idea how to sketch a tall tree from the view of standing under the tree looking up. My baby sister put in a request for me to make a piece ... but I'm having issues with the perspective.?

How about simple still life's with fruit and Vegetables.

What type of pen did u use to sketch this please?

Celsius or fahrenheit?

Watching you always makes me feel like I can just pick up a pen and sketch. 🫶

I read a book called "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain." You draw with the right side of your brain and speak with the left side. It is difficult to switch between sides.
