      I am you should come- I actually have a spot on my March 2 Charleston workshop - someone who bought her space cannot go.:) I told her I would try and sell her tix since I don't do refunds- but you can easily resell it like a concert tix.

    I will this a try tomorrow. Have been working on your card with black paper, a taped off square in the center and metallic gold and other color leaves, flowers & dots. It was fun and final results not bad for the first try. What i like to do is watch your tutorial a couple times, use your painting as inspiration and then do my own version. It is interesting to see how similar my painting compares to yours. While they are often quite different one can tell they are related. Thank you for motivating and inspiring me to paint with watercolor after not doing so for decades. I taught painting for years (all media) but your techniques are quite different than what i use to do. I am loving this journey and want to sincerely thank you for your videos. Susan in NC

    So the question: what can I use as the alchohol spray, i don't drink alcohol anymore, and don't have it in my home except for white spirit/ thinner for brushes I use for oilpainting. Thank you so much for allbthe inspiration and happy hours! Love from Lise
