Wonderful! I thoroughly enjoyed watching the entire video and then gave it a go while I replayed. Still working on the background and will go for a nice walk with my grand- pup for a bit. Nice to have this peaceful exercise waiting for me when I return. Looking forward to more of your beautiful ideas and fun with paint.

I never understood watercolor. Then I saw your cute, sweet birds and watched it for a lark (pun!!!) and was addicted. I have been binge watching you for three days now and I can’t get enough. I even bought an array of watercolor supplies based on your recommendations and I will now give it a go. I am excited and inspired.
