Hi Harriet, this is a wonderful video. Your voice is so calming and unhurried. This is how watercolour should be; lovely and transparent. I love your beautifully balanced composition, choice of colours, and your lovely sinuous curves. And you paint such thin lines. A pleasure to watch! 😀😀😀

I can’t tell you how much it means you saying that. I have had eczema on my face this past year and it’s knocked my confidence massively. I usually don’t wear any makeup at all but for filming I just put on a tiny bit of foundation, eyebrows and mascara. A good primer and facial oil underneath does wonders for glow!

Oh Harriet! You’re such an inspiration to me. I love the transparency in this piece and then the metallics just top it off beautifully. I’ve been using the Mozart metallics and so glad you mentioned about the need for thickness. These paints tend to disappear in the water if not left thick. I love them. I’ll be brave and give this one a try. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!
