Just yesterday I discovered she had battled cancer and didn’t miss a beat with gifting us all with her knowledge; it goes beyond art and into biology, psychology and philosophy (eg define looseness as it applies to the fine arts).

Colorful nail polish isn’t my thing but I don’t find your nail color distracting at all. I have learned from your videos and really appreciate your generosity in sharing your talent and knowledge. There are too many hyper sensitive people eager to critique everything. It’s an art channel so if color bothers someone they should look elsewhere. Thanks for all you do, Michele ♥️

This is one of the most useful art tutorial channels I’ve come across on KZread.. so thank you for that. As a beginner learning on my own without access to a physical teacher you have been a huge help.. and the colour of your nails or what you look like is neither here nor there and I really don’t understand why some people think because you’re on KZread you’re fair game.. 💁 and why they feel the need to actually let you know!

Welcome back! I relate to what you said about your family not supporting you. My mother grew up in extreme poverty and she devoted her life making sure her children did not have a similar life. She always viewed art as too risky. She enjoyed my art and was proud of me for it, but for her I was better at psychology.

Funny about your nails. Every time I get my nails done I think about you and your color choices. It helps me realize it's not a permanent choice so just go for it. You probably don't realize people around the planet are doing things, like choosing nail color, because of your positive inspiration. lol. You're such a delight.

Your comments on style and loose style in particular resonated with me. I too am of the fold-my-socks and label-my-pasta-jars ilk; I view the world rather literally and yet so much admire the work of lovely loose paintings. The reason I am trying to do more of that is simply because I have absolutely no skill in the realism, detailed style and it frustrates me to the point of not wanting to pick up the brushes. I know, can't get better if I don't try. I'll get there at some point. Thanks for the prodding... BTW, your green eyes don't look sludgy to me. Thanks for all that you share; it's so very much appreciated.

Thank you Michelle for being an inspiration to me and so many others. You and I seem to have had a very similar upbringing and I really appreciated hearing your perspective! Bless you!

Thank you so very much for all of the accessible information you so freely share. --And for the inspiration that naturally flows from that. For what its worth, I am in my mid 50's and I find that there is nothing quite like art --especially mixed media to help me re-frame and integrate unfortunate experiences. --Especially childhood ones. Leaving it all in the past sounds like an excellent approach, but I don't seem to be physiologically or psychologically made to manage it. It's there regardless of from my will. Gesso-ing over different parts however...THAT I can do. :)

I always learn so much from your videos. And I LOVE your colorful nails!! I have quite a large collection of polishes myself. Sometimes you just need to wear ten different colors at once, if it makes you happy, do it! Have a great day!!

Thank you, Michele, for giving good common-sense advice! It's always a pleasure to learn from you. I was very interested in the brush hold question myself, after being conflicted by another art tutor saying I can't hold my pencil like a writing pen when sketching or I will not have good results. In the end, we develop our skill and muscle memory in different ways. And your nails are fine, the trolls can go troll someone else.

OMG the end of your video shocked the heck out of me!!! because i LOVE LOVE LOVE your nail colour - as soon as I saw them I had to pause the video to have a proper look at what the two colours were so I can get mine done the same!!!

Michele, you were one of the very first KZread watercolor artists providing watercolor instruction that I found many years ago, it seems -not even your own channel but working with SAA paints? Anyway, I’ve been so happy to follow you and chat with you via Facebook. And I’m a proud owner of one of your gorgeous stylized poppy paintings which hangs in my sunroom that I look up at while enjoying my morning coffee. I watch many of your videos (shorts now too), save them, and learn from them. Well, maybe I dont’ actually “learn” but I do take in the ideas which are up to me to put into action as a learned skill through practice. Having said all of that yada yada, I particularly loved this video. You are a very straightforward communicator with absolutely no baloney and I’m a very good baloney detector. It’s sensible to advise that just because you admire a certain style doesn’t mean you yourself can recreate that style, which goes for all sorts of visuals including how one dresses and accessorizes. I’m nearly 5’10” and what we call “big boned” (baloney) and I would never be able to pull off looking like Audrey Hepburn even if I paid a seamstress to make one of her outfits for me. So be yourself in all things whenever possible and art is the most be-yourself activity that one can do. I have collected about a dozen watercolors from a Connecticut artist I met while taking classes with him. He is a brilliant artist whose amazing to watch in action. He naturally paints in a very loose style while still creating brilliant representative colorful paintings. It seems like it just flows out of him. As he’s painting students ask, “Bob, what color is that?” And most of the time, he has no idea and one of the other students will fill him in. In all of the classes I took with him, enjoying every minute, I’ve never seen a single student be able to even come close to what he does. Your message on that topic in this video reached me intellectually-stop trying to do something that’s not natural to you Barb. Now, I am not a super organized label the jar type, but I am fairly organized and tidy-I have to re-approach this long held desire to paint loose ethereal watercolors because I’m not Bob from CT. And I just want to enjoy the process, not frustrated by failures. I do not want enter shows or make a living from watercolor painting. I Just create and relax. Finally, to the trolls who object to your colorful nails-how ironic is it that a person allegedly desirous of improving artistic skills would be put off by color??? WITAF is wrong with people-oh so much is. ❤

Thanks Barbara, I am so glad you liked the video! I think, regarding the artist Bob, many artists are far better at painting than explaining, I may be better at explaining than painting (!) As for fashion, my pet peeve at the moment is oversized blazers, they've been hoisting them on us for years. I am 5'3 it was already hard enough to find one that fitted... I subscribe more and more to the opinion that fashions change simply to get us to buy new stuff we didn't actually need. Keep painting (and posting photos of your beautiful cat) X

Your videos are always so interesting! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us!❤

Thank you Michele. Very helpful as always. Love your videos & love your nails too 🙂

Thanks so very much Michele. This Q&A was great! I tend to paint loose and have been wanting/trying to paint detailed. Thanks for sharing a little about your growing up. Very inspiring! One question: did you find that drawing and other ways of being creative helped you survive your childhood? As an adult, does drawing/paint/being creative ground you and help you be centered? Your nails are great.

Your explanation on the connection between the way to hold the brush and the painting style was a real eye opener. I never understood why I can't reproduce what I saw a thousand times. I think it sticks with me from the days in kindergarten where we were taught to hold pencils and brushes "nicely" and only one version was accepted, the same you use for writing (to make it easier for us in first grade I suppose). It's practical to have a bold coloured car, you easily find where you parked in a big lot and because it is so easy to identify it, it is less chances that it gets stolen.

Your first comment about loose style really resonated with me. I am naturally a detailed/ semi realistic watercolorist. I love looking at other people’s loose style paintings but right now it’s not for me. As for your nails you do you! I’m too stingy to pay someone else to manicure or paint my nails and I’m too lazy to paint my own. I keep my nails short and neat. Also, I’d rather use the money saved to buy more watercolors and art supplies. 😂

thanks for your encouraging advice as always. reminds me of a story in my art class. teacher: now paint this vine loosely me: what does that mean teacher: don't worry about exactly where it goes me: so you mean paint it inaccurately? teacher: maybe this style isn't for you PS never noticed your gaudy nail polish but now that you pointed it out, it's going to keep distracting me ...

I find it very weird that everyone suddenly wants to paint loosely. I've been watching art YT for 15+ years and it's only in the last few years that I've seen a huge push for loose art. Most of the time, this type of art doesn't appeal for me - not everything is for everyone, and that's okay, glad it's there to bring joy to someone else. What bothers me about it is that there seems to be this unsaid implication that "loose" is what all artists should strive for and that loose art is more "raw and organic and from the soul." It makes me so sad that there are artists now who feel like their art is not good because it wasn't executed in an impressionistic style. Very sad.
