    There is a lot of complex art going on in this tutorial. The plays on color, texture, and light are spectacular. I only started watercolor painting 2 months ago but I have a long history in jewelry design, art glass, and sugar flower making. Thank you so much for this absolutely spectacular tutorial. I've made three cards from this tutorial. Every single one is different and I'm trying to capture that AHA thing that you do there. I believe the trick is to make sure that the green surround is dark enough for the translucent gouache circles to pop from. I'm loving this. You make the world a better place!

      Love your laid back - no worries approach and find your videos extremely informative and useful. I note you use Scotch Magic Tape to fasten your paper down with - do you de-tack it a bit before you stick it to your paper or is it quite low tack? And I’m assuming it’s waterproof? The masking tape I use tends to come unstuck when I use watercolour. 😊
