    Dos and donts are very helpful. While I know some of this, seeing the tips/techniques and differences side by side and in one video helps to solidify the info in my brain. Watched dos and donts on florals yesterday … I definitely need to work on the right amount of white space in my work. Videos like this really help me to improve my art. Thank you! (I love that you struggle to make something “bad”. 😉). Keep up the good work. We really appreciate it! ❤️

    Thankyou Emma, I recognise my own attempts of foliage in your donts side, so thankyou for some simple helpful tips. I need to ignore the little voice in my brain telling me how a leaf should look which stiffens up my painting. I am enjoying this series very much, though you seem to have more problems allowing yourself to paint a wrong leaf as even your donts look better than my dos!
