Whenever I feel stressed or stagnant and unable to work on the things that I should be working on, I try to start with something small and simple to get my feet wet, and that action creates momentum for more challenging things. It is always better to take small steps instead of procrastinating and never starting at all🍀

"...but rather to capture an IMPRESSION of the scene that we have right here." A small statement that introduces a great deal of freedom to us who are perfectionists. Thank you!

OMG, I can't believe I sketched along with you! I can't draw to save my life! Wow, thank you so much for such a clear and concise and patiently lead tutorial! I am blown away!

As a beginner to watercolour, I found your style so relaxing and I sketched and painted along with you and it was a great experience. It was so good to be able to go at a pace that allowed me to follow along with everything. Feel so happy with my little piece! A lot of practice in store but I can't wait to keep going and see my skills improve.

I really enjoyed your video. I sketched and painted along with you (with lots of pauses). I like that you explain in detail what you're doing and the colors you are using. At the end I was very happy with my little sketch and am looking forward to sketching again with more of your videos. Thanks!
