Your beautiful presence, and also the clear and detailed way in which you explaine each step in a painting, has helped and still helps me a lot! Much Gratitude! Emilia_
Thank you so much for your teaching!

I'm living in Toronto, my favorite's birds are Cardinal and BlueBay. so far I follow your videos' and finished Snow Cardinal, Cardinal in Bloom, Cherry Blossom BlueBay and Geese Going South, I will continue to follow you. I appreciate your clear and awesome teaching!!!
next one on my list to do..ty michelle thepainter,,!!as always you're so educational and thorough which speaks to ur passion and love for creation,,,earthly and artwise,,ty michelle!mike from 10549 westchester ny
O my goodness a blue jay!!! I have been collecting pictures of blue jays in the hope of painting one. That is after I have had several lessons from you!! Now I can paint one side by side with you! 😊😊😊😊
Love your painting! Bluejays are one of my favorite birds. They are a big, beautiful, and very noisy squawkers. Tho they are much maligned, God made them to they serve as the alarm bell for other birds. When you hear a bluejay, you know there's likely a hawk or a cat around. If it weren't for their alertness and warning calls, more sluggish birds like cardinals and rose breasted grosbeaks would be taken by predators. Hope you've fully recovered from your surgery. Thanks for your great tutorials!
I love this picture, it will be my 7 th one of your. My husband craved blue jays and many other birds and he would love this one. I can’t wait to get started. I never thought I would be so excited to paint. You make it so much easier to paint. Thanks for all your wonderful instructions.❤️
This are beautiful birds and yes we have them here 😀 love this painting and lesson, thanks Michelle, was Nice to watch, that i always do, firtst watching and than painting, first i finish my panda. 🎨🖌️💕
If you don't have other birds on or near your patio, it's because the Jay's have chased them away lol. They really are feisty birds. And yes, so beautiful.
Thank you so much. Absolutely beautiful. So glad - I have just recently found your channel and look forward to trying your tutorials. A wonderful teacher.
Helloo Michelle, I hope your well. where shall I start, in a word Stunning. I've tried painting blossom trees before, and it all blended into one . but after watching you with your interpretation I'm seriously going to try again. the little details are amazing yours looked so so realistic, I totally adored the work you put into the bird. You have such amazing understanding of the subject your painting . You really are a god send Michelle, Ian
I have laughed when you call your lover “ hubby”and me too I have a hubby! Hihi! Ah que cette peinture est jolie ! Le background est magnifique et le geais bleu est amazing Je peindrai cette peinture pour une carte de Bonne Fête pour ma sœur au mois d’août.je suis toujours heureuse de voir vos tutoriels et je vous souhaite le meilleur dans votre vie et celle de votre hubby hihi ❤️
Hi, love your work. I'm trying to find a picture of a weeping willow tree . Slightly blowing in the wind. I have not been able to find anything I like. Maybe you could draw a weeping Willow . What would be the best way.
Amazing tutorials, you make it simple and easy to follow for people. Just curious the birds and animals you paint, are they all from your head, memory? or do you use a reference? Your choice of colors for your back grounds are awesome.
Actually, this bird is inspired by the several blue jays that visit my porch every day! Most other animals are inspired by photos I took! Thanks for watching!
This is just amazing, I have back watched so many of your videos you are so talented and a fantastic teacher … you should think of adding your skills to Skill share, I am sure so many would join you in your classes..
That's fantastic Michelle, I love your paintings and I've learned many techniques from you...you make it so easy, I never imagined that I can paint birds , can you please share how you prepare your canva for painting? TIA
Hi Marina, I'm happy that you're enjoying my videos. I do not do anything to prepare my canvas to paint on it. I buy the canvas already primed, so it is ready to go when I get it. Most canvasses already come pre-primed when you buy them (white on one side, tan on the back side), but if both sides are tan, than you are working with raw canvas. If your canvas is raw, then you can paint a layer of primer/gesso on it so the paint will adhere well. Have fun painting, Michelle
Hello again Michelle. What a great looking gent…or mama. Don’t know the difference. But I know there is one. When we see them new it usually means cold weather coming. Right! You really do a wonderful job . Great details on the fella.! How are you feeling?
Hi Gwen, I'm feeling awesome, thanks for asking! I just looked up the difference between male and female blue jays, and it said that they are exactly the same, except the males tend to be a bit larger. Well, there you have it... mystery solved...lol! Have fun painting, Michelle

Blue Jays are very aggressive when they are protecting the nest eggs and baby birds. Both parents will peck and chase the intruder away. Otherwise they are peaceful.
Great pspainting! Love those background colors! Bluejays are beautiful birds.I love birdwatching and ❤😊feeding myself.
I love how you talk us through painting instead of playing music!
Beautiful!

I pray your feeling better. We do care about how you are too you know !!!! Hugs
Thank you! Hugs back!
What your calling the crown on the bird is called a Crest if that helps you out Michelle.
It does help! Thanks!
Michelle, is the magenta Blickrylic? I bought that brand and it does not look like the same hue as yours? Maybe it’s just this computer screen? Thanks
Hi Gwen, it's likely due to the computer screen. Have fun painting!
