Am an instant fan and have subscribed. “Thank you” so much for this video on bokeh, never dreamed you could do that with pencils! Every medium turned out ‘stunning’ and your detailed explanations were clear and very enjoyable to listen to. What an amazing artist you are!!!

But I totally love watching you make it happen! And that rabbit.....well, anything with rabbits capture not only my attention, but my heart. That is beautiful.

I only found you a few days ago, but seeing you using the strainer has me convinced to spend this cold, snowy, spring day going through your channel! I bought strainers to sharpen my pastels-- instead of a pricey pastel sieve-- but using it for making powdered pencils is genius!
