😭 hi Sara. I just moved my family far away from my first home and for the first time in a week I started watching your videos again. You're the closest most comfy thing I have in my life right now. Thank you ❤
The black streaks on the trunk of birch trees are called lenticels, and their function is to enable the exchange of gases between the tree and the air.
This was so much fun. I really enjoyed it. I have found that when my tape sticks I use a heat tool on a low setting for just a couple of seconds and it releases the adhesive on the tape just enough to pull it off without tearing. The thing that has drawn me to Let's Make Art if the enthusiasm that you and your whole team have when doing these tutorials. I just get so excited about Art. Thank you
I am painting this now and just want to say, after doing tutorials with you, Sarah, you and your husband are so calming and funny. I really enjoy your positivity and your instructions are easy to follow. Thank you for all you do! It has helped me ignite my passion for Art again. You are a blessing!
This was fun. I really love your tutorials Sarah. You are easy to listen to and follow . Your oath is important and passion for just doing art your way is wonderful. Don't change!
I just now discovered this channel and am 100% in love already. I'm rather new to this world, so I'm super loving the kids videos ~ you make me feel I can do the "scary" things! THANK YOU!!
Oh, the gold is an acrylic, that's why you can paint on cloth with it. Back in the 90's I used to paint with acrylics like they were watercolors. Watered them down a lot. You have to mix in a special medium to the paint so it will stay in the fabric. I did a lampshade for my daughter and a sweatshirt. She was about 6.
I've painted birch similarly, and love the tape trick. When learning how to paint birch, the art instructor told us that the black markings above the horizon line should be shaped more like a rainbow and below the horizon line, more like a smile. Just an interesting observation; not a critique :)
This is the most fun project! I did it as you directed and also as a card. Now I am working on it with a cartoon theme for my son. I'll share on social media so you Llamas can see it!
but if you want to catch the the true essence of trees, first read the short story ' the willows ' by Charles Blackburn , only piece I have reread three times...you will never look at trees in the same way! I agree with you about not being so protective of your work - i personally to do a lot of rubbing and scrubbing - sometimes you have to break through in sheer frustration...
We use our in-house liquid watercolors, Dandelion Paint Co. You can check them out here: www.letsmakeart.com/products/dandelion-paint-co-15ml-watercolors

I am so in love with the whole Wabi Sabi box.

Birches are the state tree of NH. That's why are mts. are called the White Mts. We have a lot of birches! Birch bark is also good for making canoes.

THIS WAS FUN!!! Thanks for The Ethereal Birch Forest Party 🥰🍃
Stunning
absolutely loved this one. exactly what I needed today!
So fun, I can't wait to try this. It reminded me of my happy place!
I do it all for myself -- for my BRAIN. I don't mind throwing it away or tearing it up. Impermanence is good.
❤❤❤Awesome
Thanks Sarah, This is a great project!!

I love how your tape doesn't tear the watercolor paper, can you share the type of masking tape you use? Thank you so much. Very very nice watercolor.

I cut up Xmas cards and use them for gift tags.
LOVED THIS! My ONLY minor critique was the lack of tape in the box. That is a needed supply not listed on the supply list.
We got tape in one of the prior boxes.
@Leslie Galloway that's great for those who got that prior box but I did not.
I love a good watercolor diy 😊

Make it a game. How many years can you send the same Christmas cards without people noticing 😂🎉
Yes!!
How do you get the edge tapes (not the trees) straight?
I really like your work and I need to know what is your water Color brand name?
We use our in-house liquid watercolors, Dandelion Paint Co. You can check them out here: www.letsmakeart.com/products/dandelion-paint-co-15ml-watercolors
