Absolutely wonderful !!!!❤

I truly need to go back to the basics and start SMALL! I often overwhelm myself by thinking of a simple subject and over-thinking and over-detailing it. I have to remind myself that painting say - a petal - can be as helpufl as an entire flower. I think for my self, my biggest downfall is thinking too big. I have been considering some simpler ideas and I just need to go with them and create the habit of creating 'smalls'. Thank you so much for this reminder, Kelly. I just love your book and documentation of your year!

You are everything I would like to be in a watercolor artist. You are fabulous!

Thank You for sharing this ❤

Thank you for sharing this, really a wonderful idea!!

Oh my goodness! I’ve never seen such a unique set up or fun way to practice a habit!! Thank you!! 😊❤

This is beautiful, thank you!!

How fun! I love your art~ there is a childlike whimsy to it. Really good advice too.

Wow, this is fantastic, so beautiful 😍 ❤

What a precious and unique way to document your year! Love this. Tiny little 5 minute masterpieces. 🩵🤎🩶

Excellent idea!!!

This is gorgeous and so much more than practice. It’s art! Each piece is unique and genius 😍

You are so talented! I have never seen anything like this before. The blank page of an art journal terrifies me. This, this is doable! Thank you ever so much for sharing.

I made my own art paper book and started this project , yes in the middle of March. I have completed a few days and have found such delight in how this looks and how much fun it is to figure out what I will paint to remember each day. You have such great ideas to inspire. So glad I found you. I am enthused about painting again. I share your delight in leaves. They are so amazing. the weirder and more chewed up the better.

Absolutely!❤

I love this idea SO MUCH!!! I follow some artists who do compiled pages like this, but when I thought about trying something like it I got overwhelmed. This breaks it down in to manageable pieces. Thank you for sharing!!💖

Sooo creative.

Great idea! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from the Netherlands.

This is brilliant!!! Thank you! I’m gonna jump in even tho it’s mid-February. 💚💛🧡

I just love this; thanks for the inspiration.

So glad I found your channel! I love this daily art, it's beautiful.

Those circles really are manageable and adorable! Love them so much!

A cleaver idea. I like it. ❤

Yes you have inspired me im sketching small paddington bear my son gave to me at xmas , 2 robins sitting on branch ornament whatever i see in my livingroom. I live in scotland , thank you for gettting me started as i had been stuck in moving forward .

I love your art!!

What a great idea! Love your style and color palettes!

I love your pie-pieces lay-out! It looks so cool, and is so unique. I'm very inspired!

This is magical. It is utterly beautiful! Tomorrow is March 1st; I’m inspired to begin a "Dear Diary" using a new sketchbook I haven’t yet touched. It doesn’t need to be a full page, but maybe half or even a third of the page of what happens in my life. Now because of my age (79 horrors) I don’t go many places, however I have a treasure trove of beautiful things in my home I could attempt to illustrate. That would make a pretty memory book. It needn’t be daily as diaries aren’t always kept on a strict daily basis. Thank you for your beautiful art and for your most unique inspiration.

Oh, my goodness, I'm delighted by this concept & enamored by your style & voice. Thank you so much!

thank you for sharing!

Wow! Loved your explanations of your creative process.

I love this! I decided in 2023 that I would learn watercolour in 2024, using KZfaq videos and I’m yet to start. Your video has inspired me to have a go!

I just love this! I have started little vignettes of each day. I make myself draw or paint everyday too. You are so eclectic and I love this!!!!! I subscribeed today

I love everything about this. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. 🥰

There's a reason you're one of my FAV artists Kelly. . This is probably number one. Thank You for the wonderful inspiration!

How delightful, thanks for sharing this ❤

I absolutely loved this video! I had been in a class for watercolor for a few years. Covid hit and I could no longer go and afterwards it did not start up again. I am feeling the call and think this is a wonderful way to start. Thank you so much for showing your 5 minutes a day! I will search your channel and see what else you have that will get me going again with my brush!

Love this idea. It’s doable and so fun to remember the year this way. Jumping in in March! Thank you so much for sharing.

Loved your video😊

What a wonderful idea! Your pages are just beautiful. Did you see a pileated woodpecker? I love your two bunnies in the beginning. Sometimes the simplest things are the most beautiful 🍂

Thank you for sharing your inspirational journey with us. What Artistic Flair! May you, your family, and your ministry, be blessed.

I LOVE this idea of art journaling! Very inspiring... I also love your painting style and the way you composed your illustrations!

Kelly, these are adorable! You and your artwork are breaths of fresh air. So glad your channel popped up in my feed a couple of weeks ago.

Omg, I adore your revolving box of nature!!! I live in inner London and one can feel cut off from nature but it is there and a little revolving box is a wonderful way of bringing nature into ones art, and such things are great for ideas for mark making. Thank you! I'm gonna pinch that great idea!! Thanks for your video, new subbie!!

This is so beautiful and I am inspired. Thinking I will try to do every day in March as I am very new to drawing

What a wonderful idea! You are so talented! I loved hearing about your nature collection. I also regularly collect bits of nature - acorns, leaves, feathers, cicadas, pretty stones sit on my desk… Never thought about using them to inspire mini art.

So beautiful, I'm just starting my watercolor journey and I love this idea for each day do 1 thing. I think this will help me being inspiration and help me practice my paints and drawing. Thank you for this 😊

LOVE YOUR ATTITUDE! Thank you! 💕

Such a great idea! I think I would love to try it…maybe a month at a time…Not sure that I am a good enough drawer to make it look as nice as yours. Thanks for putting that out there for all of us to try!

What a beautiful keepsake/diary of your life! So creative and special. Thank you for sharing. I subscribed! Would love to exercise my creative muscle in a journey like this. ❤

All of your 'little art' is absolutely charming! Love this idea-thanks for sharing🖌♥

Wonderfully inspirational ❤ I love watching your YT videos. Thanks so much for sharing 😊

I loved doing the Advent! You know just because it's February you could still start for 2024!

Omg, ich bin so überglücklich, dass ich über ihr Video gestolpert bin. Schade, dass das erst heute passiert ist, aber besser spät als nie, herzlichen Dank für diese wunderbare Herangehensweise 😃❣️

Would love to see how you paint some of the different items (not just the Christmas paintings, but everyday items)

Absolutly love love your ideer 🥰🥰 must try this as will as i love to make books 👍🏻🥰🥰

This is so beautiful! I love this concept, it’s a wonderful book to tell your story. Thank you for sharing. I might try it out, but a much smaller scale… like doing it for the month of March instead of the whole year.

Amazing! I’m glad you’re ok from your accident. So inspired. I subscribed!

I really love your nature collection dish. What a sweet habit!

This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and I am so happy! Your handmade watercolor journal of circles was just the type of painting I love! ❤️ I especially loved the little semi-realistic girl with glasses and a tam. I truly enjoy the variety of your subjects! I personally like a variety of references. I enjoy watercolor flowers but I see some artists on YT only do florals. I find this boring even though the artist’s work is lovely. I am also super impressed with your hand lettering. I’m not an artist nor is my normal penmanship anything to brag about but I love the relaxing feeling I get from painting, and watercolor is my favorite, as well as being creative to some point. I am old now with multiple health issues including lost vision in one eye, COPD, Heart Failure, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia, Diabetes, peripheral neuropathy and a very bad back. Because I have been unable to walk as much as I should due to my breathing, even in 3 lpm O2, and my weak and painful back, the muscles in my legs and feet are deteriorating. Only giving you this info so you understand how channels like yours are such a blessing to people like me. I do my paint in bed which is difficult but there are many people much worse off than I am yet they find a way to find their purpose. In my painting I really enjoy making cards and sending them to the sick, bereaved, discouraged, or just because I love them. I am going to go back and watch your tutorials. Thank you dear lady. Forgive my blabbing on and on. God bless you in every way! ❤️🙏🏻

This is so inspiring. Love everything about the ideas & your art! ❤

This is wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing.

This is so cool to see and encouraging. I made a resolution this year to do something art related daily. I bought a coloring calendar book with coloring page on left side and weekly page on right side. I would finish a coloring page a week and write down what I did daily (no introspection). So far I am keeping it going. I also copy doodles and simple watercolor I collected on internet. I am no artist but I like line ink and watercolor challenge. It gave me joy when I could reproduce decently.

I love this idea and will start it. Although it is already February, I might even go back to add to January piece by piece just to make it complete.

That was so much fun to watch! Your whimsical, yet realistic, illustrations are inspiring ❤

Wow! Talk about inspiring! I am already pondering which of my unused journals to drag out and start this whole idea! Since Chinese new year just passed I may use that for a start date! Thank you for this. Going down the rabbit hole of your other videos AFTER I go play in studio. 😂😂 subscribed!!!

I absolutely love this idea! Now to try without self doubt and judgement!

This is such a good idea! I want to try this for March which is three days from now

This was inspiring- I’ve added it to my Favorites playlist!

I love your idea and the art is beautiful. I’m so un confident, need to try this.

Your artstyle is very fresh and unique 😄😄

I absolutely love your reflection in small vignettes from daily 2023 ! I am so inspired by your art, Kelly and look forward every Monday to your chronicles as well.! I really admire your tenacity and joyful essence! I love this 365 x 5-10min. Painting Everyday…. Idea…. 🎉❤

What a wonderful, unique idea! I love this!

Hello I just came acrossed your channel and i love this idea. You did a great job❤❤ i can't wait to see what you do next.

Incredible book❤. Charlie Brown and Snoopy were my first rough figures in Elementary…. I made posters for the PE coach😂. ❤ you are a gem! Thanks for sharing!

So incredible!!😍 Thank you for sharing this with us.

Yes, this is inspiring. Love the artwork.

I really enjoyed this video. It was very inspiring. Have you heard the saying - question - how do you get to Carnegie Hall? Answer- practice, practice, practice.

so inspiring….xoxox

Wow! I have never seen your channel before, and I love your art! You have definitely gained a new subscriber. I didn't want you to flip the page in your sketchbook as you were showing it because I wanted time to study every illustration. And by the way, as someone who fell in love with art as a child from a few pages in a Richard Scarry children's book, I love that sketchbook with the vintage children's book cover, and it disappoints me that I can not buy one. As an adult my husband and I sold antiques for many years, and I collected children's book because I love the vintage children's illustrations. Your artwork in this sketchbook reminds me of the illustrations and art in vintage children's books.

🤩 Lovely

This is playful and charming. How delightful!! Thank you!!

In the first second i fall in love with your work. Can you teach us, how we start painting this? I loved to learn it

What a lovely way to catch up with your art life! 💚

Liked and subscribed!❤

Beautiful! What a wonderful way to memory keep!

I am in 3 minutes and have subscribed. I, too, want to make it easy to draw/paint.

Absolutely beautiful and inspiring!

What a great idea! And I love your colors.

Beautiful. And I love how you set out to practice your art daily. I am wondering how I can incorporate this idea in my own way? Photography. Junk journaling. Writing. Crocheting small projects. Quilting....you get the idea. It is the consistency of "showing up' and allowing it to flow. Thanks for the inspiration and I LOVE your work

Love this. Thanks for showing me.

I am really inspired by this!! So unique and personal that says “this is me!” 😊❤ I couldn’t help but noticed COKE in a couple pieces. Is that your favorite soda?

New subbed and wow do I love this. I just found you on KZfaq and thought that this looked interesting and it sure is. This is beautiful and what a great idea .

What a wonderful practice! Just subscribed and excited to witness your "loosening up" style progress.

Thank you for this inspiring practice and showing us your beautiful 2023 collection! I love that you simplified the images you wanted to create. I need to do that too. Many thanks!!!❤

I’m so excited to have found you again. I have searched for your video because I wanted to do a watercolor sketch a day in this fashion.I I thought you had vanished! I love your sketchbook journal. I will save your videos in a special playlist from now on. ❤

fantastic video Kelly ☺☺☺

I LOVE this idea and video. Wowsers!!! Beautiful!!

Hi Kelly! I absolutely LOVE what you have done here! Have you ever thought of writing a book or illustrating a book? I think YOU should make a line of WC or sketching journals with your beautiful art on the front cover. I know they would quickly sell out! Do you actually lightly draw in your pie shapes on your paper so the shape comes out so perfect in the end? Thanks for your encouragement and your art. It all makes me so happy!🥰❤️🥰

This is such a OOAK! It’s beautiful ❤ Thank you for sharing.
