Being a birder for so many years, watching you make all your little birds come to life is magical to me. So I guess that would make you a sort of magician as well as an artist. Beautiful! Thank you, Michelle! ❤️
I used to live in the country and on my back patio I had about 10 hummingbird feeders and about 100 or better hummingbirds and bird houses on most of my trees with indigo buntings in almost every house. I also had a nest in my well house as well as a couple on the front porch. I loved it out there and miss it so much. I'd sit out there on the patio with my coffee of a morning and get dive bombed by all the little hummers and watch all the little momma's feeding babies in their houses. It was my bliss.
I love blue birds. We call them eastern bluebird here in Ottawa Canada. I love their song and they are so very beautiful. Thank you for sharing, now I think I can paint bluebird.
Dear Michelle, you have helped me more than you could ever imagine. I have deterioration of the spine, which causes me not to be able to do a lot of things. But when I sit down to paint I can paint for hours and it helps with my pain. I don’t think about my pain while I’m painting. I’ve been watching you and you have taught me so much. You are one of the best teachers I have ever seen. I used to like to watch Bob Ross, but he didn’t teach, he just wanted people to have fun while painting. You have inspired me to keep painting, and not to give up and give into the pain. Thank you so much Michelle and may the Lord bless you as you continue teaching. God is using you more than you realize. Thank you very much! Joyce Erlemeier
Hi Joyce, Thank you for sharing your feelings and your story with me. It means so much to know that I am providing something that can alleviate a small bit of your pain, if only just for a moment. I began my painting journey for it's therapeutic values, and I felt like it was the biggest gift anyone could have given me. Now I am fortunate enough to be able to give the same gift to others. I am truly sorry that you have to go through such a painful ailment and wish that many of your days to come are filled with joy and peacefulness... and of course painting! Warm regards, Michelle
Beste Michelle aller eerst wat geef jij goed les. Ik heb al zoveel opgestoken van jou lessen. En de plezier en blijheid en liefde voor her schilderen maak mij ook ontzettend blij. Ik heb al veel schilderijen samen met jou TH-cam filmpjes gemaakt . Dank je wel, warme groetjes van uit Nederland Henny Fremouw
Heel erg bedankt voor het kijken naar mijn video's en ik ben blij te horen dat je leert en plezier hebt. Ik hoop dat alles goed is in Nederland en blijf schilderen!
Thanks Michelle, for another beautiful, inspiring tutorial. I really enjoyed the colors your chose for this. I always enjoy painting and sipping with you!
I just followed along with this tutorial. I have literally NO painting experience... have just thought that it might be fun to try a new hobby. I love the results. Michelle, you make these paintings so easy to understand, and I enjoy your humor. Back at Christmas my older kids and I painted the snowman with the bird... we all are very proud of our results. We’ve made a playlist of the rest that we want to try. Nest is the rooster. Thank you! 🌹
Michelle I have never painted before and I followed along with you and painted the blue birds. You are a fantastic teacher and a beautiful painter. Thank you for teaching these classes
Michelle, I gotta tell you...because of this tutorial, I painted the most realistic tree stumps (posts) that I’ve ever done! You have such a great way of simplifying the techniques, making it fun and not so frustrating! Thanks so much! I love all your videos! Thank you for helping me! ❤️
Thank you for your tutorials, they are amazing, the way you explain, your passion and talent, I have no words. I am a beginner, bur I did this on a slice of wood and I am very pleased with what I was able to create thanks to you.
Thank you for another wonderful tutorial, you are a great teacher, you explain everything in detail and why it should be done. I also love your kid's tutorials too. Can't wait for the next tutorial.
I just recently started painting with no previous experience and I love watching your tutorials. I have tried several of them but even though they look amateur I keep trying. Thank you for your videos and your beautiful art.
I'll admit I was ready to give up! The larger bird was very challenging for me, I'm very new at this. But not being a quiter I persevered and love how it came out! Thank you! Love how you teach!
I found you on TH-cam after searching paint and sip, am I glad I did. Completed this today after a busy day at work, thought of nothing but the project. Thank you.
Thanks Michelle for sharing a beautiful and detailed painting. I like the way you show the colours and brushes along the job, very helpful, thanks again.
I painted this yesterday and just had to do another today! Giving one to my son. I posted the link to this in my birding group and several people plan to try! In fact, they were asking for the link 😍
I love doing this one, and each time it gets better yet your paint seems to go on more smoothly than mine when using the small brushes, what’s your secret for that? Do you put a lot of water, or thin out your paint? Do you use expensive brushes? What brand of paints do you use? I feel your one of my besties because I spend so much time with you painting or just watching you paint and my house is filled with paintings I’ve done over the past couple years that bring me joy and others love them too! I’m from MA originally too.
Hi Linda, thank you so much for watching my videos! I use Blickrylics which is a very fluid student grade paint. You can purchase it here: berkshirepaintandsip.squarespace.com/shop In regards to the brushes, well, I use mine which you can also buy on my shop. Keep on painting and I hope you'll consider sharing some of your work on one of my FB Pages for me, and others to see. I would love it!
I sure do appreciate that you share your talent with us! You’ve just encouraged me to give this a try by explaining with such easy clarity that even I could follow! Thanku ! I look forward to watching more of your videos!
I have painted several with you, love your teaching and techniques.. But just wondering, have you ever dipped your brush in your drink instead of your water?
I REALLY LOVE YOUR PAINT, BEAUTIFUL , LOOKS SO EASY TO PAINT, I AM GOING TO TRY.VERY INTERESTING. CONGRATULATIONS. I AM LEARNING A LOT FROM YOU, NEVER PAINTED BEFORE, BUT I GO WITH YOU STEP BY STEP AND BELIEVE ME I AM GETTING THERE. THANKS A LOT.
OMG, I love you! I just finished this and it looks so beautiful! I never knew I could do stumps so easily, and they look amazing! Your techniques are so well explained too...my sky looks great...clouds are always hard for me...but with your instruction, the sky looks great! You even make painting the birds a simple thing to do! I LOVE my painting! Thank you so much, I will be doing more...you are amazing!
Hi there, I really enjoy with painting this beautiful one. I just started to paint two weeks ago after 27 years. I want to keep it. Thanks so much your advice and tips
I just bought a set of your brushes I can't wait to get them! I am so excited. I didn't have the money for the paint too or a kit just yet. Thanks a ton for sharing and teaching!!!
I enjoy watching you paint. You make it seem so fun and easy! One day I am going to be brave enough to try one. I watch Ms Donna Dewberry and try her painting. I enjoy watching her! Linda from NC.
Very detailed tutorial! You are so good! Thank you for this tutorial. I find it hard to draw and paint a bird you made it so easy because of the very detailed instruction.
Great tutorials as usual 🙏 In my house, there are many birds coming to build their nests, sometimes I could count six of those in the garden. Love your painting so much and I will try to do one for myself. Thanks!
I just love the way you take your time and explain everything! I have painted a few of your tutorials and they have turned out great! I am a beginner and some other tutorials are less than 10 minutes! How is someone supposed to learn anything? Thanks again!
Love. so beautiful love birds.
