@BaldwinLeatherWorks I am so sorry about your injury. I also have a spinal injury though mine is old and they rebuilt what was left with lots of metal....then other things come along....and I am absolutely with you on being able to lose yourself in art!! And being SO thankful for people like Helen that give such beautiful instruction for the days I'm able to do things, and such awesome inspiration in these videos that keep me going through the days that aren't so good...keeps me excited and always looking forward to those moments when I can try some of these :) I hope you're feeling ok, as ok as possible of course! And are able to play with your paints as often as you can...they definitely make things better :)

Sorry for gong through hard time,huge changes in life..Painting is best kind a therapy for soul... Today there are Many life changing therapies that may help you recover mobility and heal.Some time ago red about guy who was paralysed from neck down for over decade,he was given some kind a stem cell therapy,injections in spinal cord and he not just started to feel body but is recovering,after more than decade in bed Ofcourse recovery will take years and maybe he never will be the same as he was before,but still,from laying down all the time,he’s doing loads of physio therapies and was standin g up,holding his body weight on arms and relearning to walk..Well,just wish you all the best and hope one day you’ll be back on you’re 🐾 Please stay strong and don’t lose hope ever and just keep painting meanwhile,learn,enjoy and may it become you’re income booster. 💐

@@ligaskirbauska8652 thank you so much for your sweet words :) I'm very thankful that I'm not constantly stuck laying down....I just don't always have the ability to be up enough to stand too much and the nerves in my neck are getting crushed so losing use of my arms and hands...but, finally insurance approved a difficult surgery to remove arthritis and scar tissue build up, a rib and several muscles that are hopefully part of the cause and I'll hopefully get a bit better use...a lot can go wrong with it so trying my right side first...if it helps, awesome, and I'll try to get insurance to cover the left side...gotta love insurance 🙄, and if it doesn't help, then I won't, and I'll just learn new ways to get things done and try to paint when I can and yes, it would be wonderful to one day maybe sell something, cards or something, even to just pay for a tube of paint here or there so my sweet husband doesn't have to, because he will even though I know we can't afford it...because he knows what art does for me :) but, if not, thats ok too...I've had people ask to buy sets of them, but I get embarrassed and just give them to them...and that makes me happy too, making people happy...so, either way, it all works out :) My lower half is as good as I'll get it...but...its all ok!! I absolutely know it could be so much worse, I lost a dear friend in the accident that started all this off over 30yrs ago, hence the ptsd, well, that part of of the cause became it was real bad...but...anyway....I just meant that I know there are so many that have things SO much worse so I'm sorry if I sounded like a baby :/ I lost my little parrot of 25yrs last weekend so a bit raw....but I'm very thankful for what I do have and so thankful for being able to watch and learn on here and meet amazing people like you :) I hope you are doing ok and have a wonderful rest of the weekend!! Thank you again for your kind words!! Truly appreciated!!🥰

Zen brushes have been around a long time. I have two I found in my dad's paintbox after he passed away. I reach for them often. They are over 20 years old. Unfortunately I didn't start learning to paint until I was 60. Now I want to live as log as possible just to learn more about painting and progress as much as I can. Maybe 30 more years would be better.😉😍

This would be so pretty for tone on tone values on a card set,black brown,grey and full colored and you have an awesome giftset. If you like it slightly more modern or your paper won't hold the layering you can always use a micron pen for waterproof outline. This is great fun for practise, I will have me a go at it. It is a great one for clean and simple winter thank you's.

This video has given me an enormous amount of inspiration. I only began watercolour a few months ago and have been looking at countless beginner classes. Learning all thee basic techniques has, of course, been absolutely critical, but those tutorials focus very often on quite broad subjects (skies, leaves, abstracts) in two-to-three colours. This video of yours, with all of the beautiful details and colours, made me realise that those introductory classes left me in one 'stuck' place. Since watching this video, I've decided to tackle my first detailed subject with more nuanced colouring. (I've started work on a dodo!) So this video has really lifted me out of those crucial but (for me) pretty boring basics - thank you so much.
