Ooh very sorry about your loss! My Dad passed away 14 years ago, when I was just 24, leukemia :( It’s a big hit to the family dynamics. There’s a big hole that stays there for a long time. I hope you can find some comfort in your beautiful art ❤❤❤❤❤❤ It was a pleasure watching you complete your challenge!
Thank you for all the practical help you give us for growth. Very sorry for your family loss and time of grief. We appreciate you sharing during this difficult time. May your hearts find much comfort.
My condolences with your father. I hope he is with the Lord in paradise 🙏❤️ I am new on your channel. Your work is very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Love from Holland🌷🌷🌷
Puedo adivinar que has perdido un ser querido mientras estabas en este proceso de las 100 pinturas con gouache.. Lo siento mucho... te admiro por la perseverancia y compromiso con tus seguidores. ABRAZO !!!
Loved watching this Mel. :) You inspired me to start my own and it's certainly a struggle sometimes with motivation but I'm enjoying it! I love your sense of colour. I feel like mine's all over the place as I like it bright and don't always get it right. But I hope to be able to reflect at the end of the period on what I've learned like you have here.
Thanks Jo!! I had some terrible days that just didn't work, but I guess you have to use those to learn from and move forward. I had to keep telling myself "This is a sketchbook and it doesn't need to be perfect". It's a place to play, experiment and learn from. I love watching your paintings! There is so much to learn from doing something like this.
Hi Mel! I am a fan since I discovered you on Bonnie’s 60/60. Since then, I‘ve watched your Skillshare classes, and I love your 100-Day project. Your perseverance and commitment is inspiring. Thank you for the links to the materials you used and for sharing the lessons you’ve learned about yourself; they resonate with me. ❤ Would you please tell me which Skillshare course you followed to bind your handmade sketchbook? I followed one recently, but my sketchbook fell apart; the signatures didn’t hold. Thank you.
Ohhh...thanks so much for watching! I actually used a combination of TH-cam videos to learn how to create my sketchbooks. This one in particular was very helpful. th-cam.com/video/9O4kFTOEh6k/w-d-xo.html
I loved watching along and was excited when you were nearing 100. There are so many licensing opportunities in that little portfolio right there. You are so disciplined! I feel inspired to step away from my ipad and desktop to actually paint now. Question: Were you able to paint on both sides of the page or were there blank spreads that were glued together? - stef wong
Thanks Stef! It was so therapeutic too! I did manage to paint on both sides of the paper without it bleeding through. The only issues were when it had dried and I closed the sketchbook, some would rub off onto the other page, which has been a little painful to remove in Photoshop as I make them print-ready.
Hai! Beautiful art 🥰 can u pls let me know how do u add colours for each painting?? matching up colours on patterns had been a big challenging for me. Somtyms my drawing luks gud bt it gets messd up bcz of the colours i add
Thank you! Colour can be tricky. It's something I struggled with a lot at the beginning of my career. I would try to use minimal amounts of colours in your paintings. Also, have a look around you on products and on Pinterest to see what colours work well together. Understanding colour theory also helps a lot. Understanding colour really is something that develops overtime...it took me years!! And I still don't think I'm that good at it.
Hola. Podría ser que se configurara n los subtìtulos en español??? Te sigo y en instagram puedo usar el traductor. Aquì no me da la opciòn de subítulos en mi idioma. Soy de Argentina. Saludito !!!

Beautiful art! My father also passed away of cancer. He wanted to be at home. My family and I honored his wishes. I know how you feel.
