The tip for using the number six to get the shape of the squirrel is so helpful. I will try it for sure. We have many gray squirrels in our neighborhood (lots of oak trees) and I have never been quite satisfied with my drawings of them. Your barn owl is outstanding. Love them all. Thank you for sharing these woodland animal paintings.

I love how you "reduce" the animals to gestures with the paint. It helps you to not focus on your preconceived idea of how to paint the animal but see yourself paint the strokes to create. Not sure if I am getting my point across, but it's a really wonderful to watch and learn that way!! Thank you!!

This one was so fun to paint! I just used a basic 12 pan student set. The fox and hedgehog turned out especially darling:) Seeing how you break down the animals into their component shapes inspires me to (attempt to) improve my sketching skills. Thanks.

Thanks for zooming in when you're painting. It helps a lot for me to follow your process. I also appreciated what you said about your Instagram 'first tries'. I have to remind myself that my first tries at something will naturally not often match up to the video tutorial I'm watching because you guys might have practiced beforehand to provide the most useful sort of video. :-) Your suggestions on how to approach the drawing are very helpful.

Hi Hariett, I love love love your sweet little loose critters. After 2 years of watercolor painting.I am quite good at painting realistically for my liking but I still struggle very much with simplification and getting loose. I would like to see and follow your process of inventing these animals (especially the sweet little animals, because flowers seem so much easier and often seen here on youtube).I made some easter cards with your help: the lamas, the hens, the snowbells and the sheep and the recipients loved them very much and the hen card looks so lovely under a bouquet of real easter flowers and twings, as if the hen got a shelter. Your barnowl reminds me of Harry Potter. How about some sweet little loose Harry Potter critters?

I am amazed how you handle the water. How can I learn that? My second layer creates cauliflowers always 🥺

It sounds like you’re getting a ‘bloom’ of water flooding in the painted space with your second wash. Try applying smalle amounts of paint in your second layer and blending gently
These are adorable! I did the pink dogwood wreath this morning and I am fairly happy with it! It could be a bit more dilute, but I am getting the hang of it. I did the watercolor challenge of the birch last week and I was so disappointed with it. It looked like an easy one, but noooooo. I'm going to do it again, as I have a list of things to change. I like the sketch you have started doing first - it is so helpful with the shapes of things. I also wanted to ask, does Ant do the shooting and editing? I can't imagine doing that and all the painting too. The shooting and editing are superb! I have made you tube videos for my journals and I know how hard it is, as well as time consuming! Carry On!

Thanks so much Linda. Well done for persevering, it sounds like you are making good progress. Yes Ant is behind the camera and edits everything for me. It’s a wonderful partnership we’ve got going and I’m so grateful to him as I have all my commissions to paint the rest of the week so I have no time to do the editing
