Susan, Your lessons are the best anywhere! I was unable to paint for a very long time and your videos and tutorials are helping me to get myself back into the saddle again! Todays lesson was especially helpful and I am amazed that anyone can come here and get the most wonderful art education for FREE! I want to thank you for your generosity and always having the artist in mind. I'm on my way to sign up to support you again. I appreciate the business woman in you, that is able to hopefully make a living with your knowledge of art and manage a wonderful business at the same time. Your ability to schedule all you do must also include finance and delegating, product knowledge and so much more. You are an amazing woman, thank you so much.

Nice lesson in simplifying the layout, planning from the reference photo.

Wow! Another great time with you ❤ as you inspire us to give it "a go" - as some say! Looking forward to more watercolor videos... but I just love you, from a grateful California Gramma 🙏 ❤

Lovely painting ! Colors are pretty ! Thank you .

The little geranium painting came out perfect, lovely! I spied that beautiful geranium in watercolor. Looking forward to the video and final painting. Thank you for your generosity and all you do.

I really love these tiny paintings. You’re such an inspiration and a great teacher. I absolutely love color and shape and how you expressed it so beautifully in this tiny space. More please ❣️😘❤️🥰 Thanks so much

Thank you for these little joyful paintings. I can’t wait for the watercolor geranium tutorial as well as the upcoming minis. I love the light purple poppies in the background in the beginning of the video as eel- another tutorial coming up??

Susan, I absolutely love these # bitesize little paintings! Can't wait for your watercolor tutorial. Thank you so much for keeping us inspired.

Woohoo! I’m new, my small sets are going to be joined with a 120 of Jack Richeson’s hand rolled half sticks! Can’t wait to make minis ❤️

Oh!!! That’s so exciting Dorothy! You are going to love them!!

So wonderful. I have been enjoying your work and have learnt so much. Thank you and bless you 🙏

To one of my favorite artists: Susan. May I ask for your prayers? I know you will because you have a deep love for Jesus. I'm in so much pain from RA and I need desperately need prayer cover for relief. I know it is a crazy request on an artist's YT site, but I hear you when you worship through your words. No shout out on your channel, just a prayer in your heart. (I bought your red barn painting setting in the NC Blue Ridge Mountains.) Thank you, Susan.

Hi Sherry, my heart is close to you sweetheart. I am so sorry you’re going through the pain of this illness. I know it can be debilitating and makes life so hard to manage. I’m going to put you on my prayer board and I’m going to say a prayer for you right now. Our God is so amazing and he loves us so much. “Merciful father God, I lift up Sherry to you in prayer for healing. Please cover her with your love and blessings of health. Restore her physically and let the Holy Spirit Empower her to press on and lean into you! Hold her and heal her in Jesus mighty name! Amen”

Hello, Suzie! Been following your channel for about two months and I can't believe that I didn't know your channel from before! It's amazing! I wanna ask you how to do recomend tackling small sizes pastels painting with portraits? I am fascinated by portraits and really wanted to try and do them on a small size. Any tips?

@monetcafe

That’s a great question and thanks for following my channel! I would say many of the same rules apply. I would definitely keep the portraits simple and just focus on the core features. It would also be great to have a little fun and get creative with color and shapes. Here’s a link to some suggestions on doing tiny portraits with watercolor. pin.it/7zLaFv4

Wait... Iridescent pastels?? I didn't know they made such a thing!! 🤔😁 Susan, is there a place you can trade these tiny paintings? I would love to do a trade! Awesome video again, my friend!! 😍💖

Hi sweetie, I’m working out a trade in my Patreon group where artist are agreeing to be paired up to swap paintings. I’ll have to research if there’s a general place to trade tiny paintings with other artists. It’s really a lot of fun to share! And yes, iridescent pastels are awesome!

You forgot to mention another benefit to small paintings: easier to pack and ship!

I'm fairly new to pastels. How do you protect the finished painting? Is it possible to make a card out of the tiny painting? If no protection, they will smear, correct?

I paint with oil paints, but hopefully the theory taught in principle is no different
