That's wonderful, Kathleen, I'm so glad! Yes, there are lots of videos of birds; look at the dates they were uploaded - the earlier videos tend to be a bit less detailed. Thanks for spending time on my channel! Love, Elaine
Oh Audrey, you darling!!! Not me LOL! But who cares, right??? It's just important to push our brains to do something challenging!! Thanks for watching, see you next time, yes? Love Elaine
Hi Rodney! I'm so glad you're here! Sketching is a great way to support your painting; it really helps your hand figure out those basic shapes, so it's a fantastic idea to do this kind of drawing first then get your paints out later. I know what you mean about being a tough "self-critic" - I want to do a lesson discussing this very thing, so THANK YOU for reminding me!! Show me your work if you like, I'd love that. Elaine
Hi Mister! Yeah!! I'm so glad!! Thank you so much for watching, I'm really happy that you spent time here, and especially that you did some sketching! Love, Elaine
Hi THL, Happy New Year! NO PENCILS ALLOWED!!!! because you'll spend all your time erasing and NO time drawing. Watch my Art Lesson video "ALWAYS sketch with a pen!" where I explain in a bit more detail. Trust me, switching to pen is the fastest way to improve your art skills! Thanks so much for watching! Love, Elaine
That's a great idea. Put your eraser away - don't have it on your sketching table or anywhere within reach. Then when you start your artwork, see if you want to reach for it. If you do, then it's time to switch to pen!! Let me know how it goes!! Love, Elaine
You have really helped me with the shape and the drawing of the cardinal! Thank you so much I hope that you do more videos of birds

@simplydraw5618 i will take it into consideration 👍😊
Maybe in the meantime just don't use my eraser with my pencils 🤔
