    I really appreciated that there was more than one person painting because it allowed me to see the painting through a different perspective. And it also made the conversations more interesting!

    This is the perfect way to spend my quarantine. Even though I'm mostly a digital artist (I keep trying to control z to undo) but I love watercolor. And this is the perfect idea for mothers day. My mom absolutely loves Hydrangeas so I cant wait to see what she thinks. Edit: I gave it to her and she loved it! Cant wait to paint more!

    I’m rubber stamper but am now painting because of sarah cray! I have a hydragea stamp. I let my grandgirls decide what colors it should be. We had orange flowers with purple leaves! Red leaves and green flowers! Beautiful!! I’m thinking I will have orange flowers when I paint this!! 🙂

    This is my first tutorial with you! I love that you also have a novice artist working alongside you, so that I don’t feel bad that mine isn’t as lovely as yours. But, we all must start somewhere. Thank you for the all the tips. I need to overcome my fear to begin as I have no skill set or art education. “Happy Accident” -I love it!

    OH MY GOD! YOU ARE ALSO HAVE A LATERAL BRUSH GRIP! I was afraid It would limit me as a (re)emerging artist, but now I feel so much better knowing that you also have a lateral grip. I can't tell you how validating this is because my teachers tried so hard to correct my grip.

    Hydrangeas have very thick woody stems to support those heavy floppy flowers. I have noticed that a lot of painters favor the flowers, then the leaves, but the stem is often completely "off" and since I am a passionate gardener, it drives me nuts!
