Hey Sarah and team - if you're seeing this, thank you so much for all the work you put into this. I've been following along and trying to paint and I've never found a channel as simple and effective as yours. It makes me so happy to try, so thank you!
This was such a fun project! Thank you for teaching, I am getting more and more courageous because of your kind heart, laughter and clear instructions!
The imperfections of my blind contours ...I can completely live with. The improvements that Sarah's sketches to the page afterwards....I can not come close to! Yet, lol. They are depth, they are yummy!!
Sarah, this is tremendously helpful. No sooner had I started watercolour than I was at the verge of giving up, wanting to play but not really knowing how to. Shall continue. You're a fabulous teacher. 👌
Wow! Just looked up that artist! My eye hurt.. you did such a good job explaining the "breathing" in comparison to his work!!! The one you created is so beautiful!
@Let’s Make Art: I saw the painting and I was like: oh! That looks fun to make. Easy abstract, simple line and wash, yeah, I can do that. The Sarah starts talking about the rules of wabi-sabi drawings and no looking at the paper, and imperfection, and only draw what your eyes see… My stress level went from 0-1000000% in a matter of minutes! I had to go sit in my corner and rock myself back and forth and cry… just kidding about the corner thing, but I just have one question about this project…. WHYYYYYYY???😳😳 Don’t you like your OCD fans???😭😭 it hurts my brain trying this technique!!! You’re killin me, Smalls!😜
I would love more like this. I'd like to be able to use this technique because I'm not very good at some of the others! But I do love this one! Please do more like this, Sarah, and send it in the weekly emails! :-) Thank you!
Love the exercise but also love the “art lesson” of others’ art as it applies to the exercise (i.e. Francis Bacon). The exercise involves several techniques and I love that too. I felt like I was back in college, my favorite time. I also appreciate the ability to get supplies to do exercise myself right here. Very nice class!
I loved this approach to this. You were right - it is very freeing to just let the pen follow eye....so interesting and fun. Thank you. I did send an email a few weeks ago - but I am not sure if it went through. I live in Canada and I ordered a sale kits and a bunch of the Holbein tape (I cannot get it anywhere here in Canada) and I must say - you are absolutely correct. That tape is fantastic. So even though the shipping to me was kind of crazy - as far as I am concerned it was totally worth it just for the tape. Thank you so very much. ❤
I agree Francis Bacon is very dark. I watched a documentary on him recently and he had a deep sadness about him. It’s amazing how much our personalities show through In our art. That’s why yours is so bright, beautiful, and calm.
This ended up being fun. But I started my drawing on a plain piece of paper. Good thing since the first one came out about 2 inches tall! After three or four tries I got something I liked and transferred it to watercolor paper using a light box. Also, for all those things that are "don't use your good watercolor brushes", I use a water brush. Those nylon bristles wash like a charm and no worries about stuff getting up in the ferrule.
You kind of end up with funky looking leaves that you might go, oh, this is a cool way to draw a leaf. I can use that. The lowest leaf on the left is a case in point. It's free, suggestion of movement. Good idea! Your circles remind me of my swatch pages. I often draw blobs to test colors and then come back later and think...oh, that's a chicken, that's an alligator...LOL Your ideas are a little calmer, but I'll definitely think of this project next time I'm doing my squiggly sketches over blobs. And it's also a good candidate for fun rubber or clear stamps, even using the gold. This would be an awesome alcohol ink project too...anyway, see, you really got me thinking with this one, thank you!
Just stumbled across your amazing channel - and love it! You explain everything so well. Thank you for the inspiration to pick up a brush and start doing watercolour again. From British Columbia, Canada.
Oh my! The only thing I had inside was a Lily. It came out soooooo bad. I am mad about it at the moment but I will keep watching😳😳😳🥰 I did research on Wabi Sabi for a few years, taught me so much about being in the moment. I love the theme this month.
Thank you for the video. I am completely new to drawing and purchased my very first watercolor paint. I assume you are rinsing your brush every time your brush is removed from the screen? It would be helpful to see your entire work surface maybe with just a picture on the side and your main work in the center .
Hi Sarah, So enjoyed this, loved the colours … are the paints Dr Ph. martins ? Very inspirational, will definitely be giving this a go… ❤️ from Sue in the UK! on hubby’s sign in 😁
To all the ones that want to search for Francis Bacon art… yes is disturbing, but at the end is art and it made me feel something, but I prefer Sarah’s.

OMG art lesson + life lessons! Love love love this.

Sarah, you are a joy to behold! Thank you for your inspiration. ❤️
Thank you for the easy to follow instructions and the encouragement to try something new and be free. Love your composition
I love your definition of Wabi Sabi and your pledge. You brightened my day ❤️
Thank you for this drawing exercise. I did all the drawing with my left hand and it was great!
I enjoyed watching this so much! I can't wait to get started on one of my own. Fun and beautiful.
I am so going to give this a go❤
thanks for this project, Sarah, it was so much fun!

I have been struggling with my painting. This is such a great idea to get my brush on the paper and explore colours. I love this❤
Woa! Mine all ended all on top of each other. 😂
Hopefully you at least had fun creating it, right??
It was a lot of fun!
You guys are the best out there. I started with you and can't tell you how my journey has been so enjoyable with you. Thanks so much.❤️❤️❤️
Sarah, you are so awesome!! and Keenan too. thank you so much
Just the practice I needed this morning! Thanks
I already know I’m gonna like it without watching it yet.. 😁👍🏻
This tutorial really is a good one. We hope you enjoy it!
Thank you! That was an awesome video. I really enjoyed your teaching and calmness.

I also like to clean my brushes with ivory soap bar, it is good for the brushes.
This is my favourite of your projects. It really speaks to me. The colours are gorgeous! I am going to do this tomorrow! Thanks from the UK!
This is my favorite way to paint, and play. Thank you for the beautiful inspiration and your enthusiasm!
i love this !!! Wabi Sabi, fantastic motto
looked up that artist too and oh my.. not my style but I do appreciate art even if its not what I prefer. thanks for this tutorial!
This is a cool project Sarah! WoW!!

Your latest work is incredible. ☺
Yay, ink!!
this looks so fun! Loved the video

The dry brush looks I call the barn weathered barn wood look. Tee hee😊
Love this! Would love to see a project using Neocolor II crayons with watercolor.
If you check out our Rainbow Mountain or Mt. Fuji tutorial, both of those projects feature the Neocolor II wax pastels with watercolor.

Been waiting for this one!
Hi Sarah,
So enjoyed this, loved the colours … are the paints Dr Ph. martins ? Very inspirational, will definitely be giving this a go… ❤️ from Sue in the UK! on hubby’s sign in 😁
To all the ones that want to search for Francis Bacon art… yes is disturbing, but at the end is art and it made me feel something, but I prefer Sarah’s.
Oh my goodness, I googled Francis Bacon during this tutorial!😲 Very odd, I found myself unable to look away😂
Like a car wreck right?? Horrified but cannot look away.
I haven't received my box yet; probably stuck in snow somewhere. I'll probably have to just watch videos .
Have you hear of Chaim Soutine? His art is "worse" than Bacon's!
