Hi Kristy, I wanted to tell you that I am sitting here with my "line" brush and I am just making lines, getting a feel for how much water and paint I need. I have cheap everything, paint, brushes, and paper, but I just made a beautiful eucalyptus spray, that I am quite proud of, for being a beginner. I love your style and your encouragement. I took an acrylic painting class and drawing class in college, and I loved them both. I have always loved to draw, so it was fun. I wish I had taken painting 2, because it was watercolor. Watercolor is an adventure for me and I am so happy I found your channel. You make it seem simple, and you take the stress off of my perfectionism, if that makes sense. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. I hate that part of me, being a perfectionist, especially, in my artwork. I am my biggest critic. I told my son that I hated being a perfectionist and he asked me why...he then proceeded to tell me all the good things about being a perfectionist. I had never really thought of it as a good thing, it was always negative, to me. Anyway, I want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you. I went through many years of depression and I felt good over the last few years, but it started creeping up on me again, and you have given me a little hope, not just through the painting, but through your encouraging words. ❤️🤗❤️ Thank you!!!

I never knew what they meant by “Movement” in watercolor, now I do. You use the greenery as arrows to move the eye through the painting. We follow the curlicues of leaves, swirls of petals and other interesting foliage or flowers. It really does give movement and energy to the work. I learned a lot, and I’m an intermediate watercolorist.
