    I’m so happy I found your channel , the flowers are so delicate ❤ I’m just learning to draw and paint at age 70 and am very drawn to whimsical art so far. On seeing this video I’m going to give this a go also . Have subscribed and hopefully I will learn a lot more from you 👏🏻👏🏻

    I like your videos. I just found you today as I'm beginning the process of teaching myself watercolor painting. I've been painting with acrylics for 8+ year. I took a class in watercolors a few years ago and did not have good results. I have since avoided watercolors like the plague! I had some success following this video so I am subscribing and look forward to learning more from you. Thanks for sharing your talents!

    Just bought my first set of watercolors (in my 60s) and tried your excellent tutorial May 1st, 2024. My mom is turning 86 this month, so I’m hoping to text her a photo of a little watercolor card every day this month. Thanks for your excellent tutorials!

    Thank you for all these beautiful videos your family is special and sharing your struggles let’s us know you are brave and determined. I paint with you and my heart lifts higher and the fact that I must look at something so intensely is a learning experience and relaxing. I try to draw a bit of what I see while traveling and I find I look at the Churches, statues, museums and historical sights through a new lens!
