It’s never too late to join, and I’m so happy you found my channel today! 😊 Don’t worry-take your time, and feel free to revisit any of the tutorials. Regarding TH-cam's playback issues, I completely understand how frustrating that can be. 😔 I hope it resolves soon so you can fully enjoy the content!

I'm so glad you liked it! 😊 You know, sometimes artists can't fully explain the reasoning behind their choices 😅, but in this case, I wanted to keep a limited color palette. Adding yellow to the eyes would have introduced a color not reflected elsewhere in the painting, which might have clashed with the red accents of the berries in the background. Also, since this is such a small painting, I was a bit cautious about overworking the eyes-it could have made the owl look too intense or "scary," which wouldn’t suit our cheerful Christmas advent calendar. Thank you so much for subscribing and for binge-watching the series! ❤️

@artist_Tina Thank you very much for your explanation. It makes sense to me. 🦉

I’m so happy to show you something new! 😊 You’re absolutely right-masking fluid can be applied over paint, as long as the paint is completely dry. Just keep in mind that after removing the masking fluid, it might slightly dull the color underneath.

Wow, thank you so much!! Im so happy to hear that my tutorial made such an impression! Keep painting and most importantly, enjoying the process. I’ll do my best to keep sharing inspiration 😊

Thank you so much! ☺️

Thank you so much! 😊

Thank you! For this series, I’m using watercolor paper Fabriano Artistico 100% cotton, 300 gsm. I highly recommend choosing 100% cotton paper at 300 gsm for watercolor work-it makes a huge difference! The brand doesn’t have to be the same, though; I’ve also used and enjoyed Saunders Waterford and Baohong papers. Feel free to pick a brand that’s more accessible in your region. 😊

That is so darn cute! 😻

Thank you! 😊

Thank you for following along! 😊

This is the GO DRAW mini palette. It has two halves that can snap together with a magnet. You're right-it’s super handy and easy to take anywhere! 😊

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much for saying that! I’m often unsure about what format works best for my videos, whether to include the paint names, or how much to speed up the process, and so on. Your comment really helps me feel more confident about my choices! ❤️

Oh, I’m so happy you liked it! I’m sure it’ll be fun and easy for you-just give it a try! 🌟

Thank you so much! 😊 You’re absolutely right-contrasting color pairs, like those opposite each other on the color wheel, almost always create striking compositions. And red and green aren’t just opposites; they’re the quintessential Christmas duo! 🎄

@ absolutely, the quintessential Christmas colours and beautiful bold opposites! You can’t go wrong! 🎄

Thank you so much! 😊 I fell in love with runner ducks the moment I saw how amusingly they run, always in a group-it’s such a quirky trait of theirs. I even spent some time studying where they "hide" their wings before deciding I just had to paint these fascinating birds. I’m thrilled that their uniqueness came across in my painting! As for wetting both sides of the paper, the idea is to keep the paper hydrated for as long as possible, allowing the watercolor to stay beautifully fluid and flowy. In this particular video, the sketchbook’s lower sheet does absorb some moisture, so the trick might seem less impactful. However, I waited for the back of the paper to absorb the water before wetting the front, and it worked-nothing seeped through to the next page! In another painting (th-cam.com/video/ydCde3LmHYo/w-d-xo.html), where I painted the advent calendar's title image, this technique was invaluable, as the paper was on an acrylic board that doesn't absorb water. This ensured I could paint wet-on-wet for an extended time. Some watercolorists even fully immerse their paper in water before painting (though I haven’t tried that yet)! Watercolor and water truly are best friends. 💧🎨

Your support for my work keeps me inspired, so thank you again, Theresa, for following along! 😊🌟

@ you’re most welcome, Tina. You’re a lovely artist 🎨

Thanks 🤗

Thank you so much, Theresa! Wishing you lots of creative joy this season! ✨

@ thank you, Tina. And wishing the same for you. Enjoy! 🎄

Thanks! 😊

Nice to meet you! 😊 So glad you enjoyed the snow techniques-let it snow! ❄️🎨

Thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing! So happy to know you found my channel😊 I also adore capturing birds and landscapes in my artwork. Birds are full of lightness, joy, and freedom. See you in my upcoming videos! And here’s a little teaser: there will be another bird painting later in this Christmas series. 😉 Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you so much for the like! 😊 I totally get what you mean-I bought Daniel Smith paints just 3-4 months ago and spent a lot of time figuring out how to make my first investment budget-friendly. I found a way and explained how I did that in this video: th-cam.com/video/gYIrmhlMmXw/w-d-xo.html. For this Christmas series, I’m using only 13 basic colors from that 24-color palette. Plus, I recently bought two amazing granulating shades that I couldn’t resist trying out, so I added them to my mini palette. Painting 24 cards feels like the perfect way to test it! Once the series is over, I’m planning to share my thoughts on this mini palette in another video. And honestly… fingers crossed I can keep up with the daily videos. Wish me luck! 😅 Thanks again for watching, and I hope you enjoy the series! 🌟

Hi! 😊 I'm so happy to see you here, and thank you for your kind words and support-it means a lot! The brush I’m using here is White Nights Sable & White Synthetic No. 04. Looking forward to seeing you around in future videos. 💕✨
