    More videos like this please. I very much prefer to hear you speak, not only because you are a pleasure to listen to, but to tell us what you are doing and why.
  • @wendys8595
    This was great! I liked hearing your explanations and thoughts, plus all the alternative options someone could do for colors. And I appreciate that it was just talking with no music. I usually mute videos with music. I would love to see you do the new Basford book.
  • I LOVED the story time in the beginning. It was cool to get a sneak peek into your life. I had no idea you had a feral bull! lol. I knew you had cattle but that was quite a task I’m sure! And I love how you were fully prepared to pull apart the sink with no experience. My kinda person! 😂❤
  • @Bridget1229.
    This is a great video and you're such a a good teacher! I've learned so much from hearing your thought processes and how you color the way you do. I love all your videos but this was especially helpful, thank you so much for making it.
  • @delappamy
    I’m loving this video and I learn better with talking so thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and videos.
  • @doughilarious
    I just found this video. It has changed my leaf game. Thank you!
  • Thank you for that Karen, loved listening to your colour theories etc, would like more if possible with you explaining colours please 🙏 gorgeous view you have to wake up to 😍
  • @user-ji2ge4cj8g
    I love your color along videos. I put you on every day and color for hours. I got all the Joanna Basford books so I follow along using the same colors. You have helped me so much. I feel like I’m getting a art lesson. Thank you
  • Thanks for this Karen. I enjoy hearing your explanations and colour theories. Would like more of these with explaining colour combos. Something I take a long time deciding is what combos to use.🙏
  • @Adriana-vl8uv
    I totally appreciate when you talk through I don't like music videos the music makes me lose focus thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work❤
  • I loved having you explain specially when you need to apply pressure or go lightly. Your videos have helped me tremendously! Keep them coming!
  • @dcdaydreamer
    Lol!! I now see that you did come back!! Thanks! Can’t wait to complete these pages!!🥰
  • Love the commentary. It’s very useful to hear your thought process.
  • @yazosoyo
    Lovely combos! I specially like the one that is burgundy and gold!
  • I really enjoyed this videos, as sometimes I get stuck in using just different greens for leaves unless I’m doing autumn colors. Please do more videos talking to us, it really helps me when I’m following a tutorial or a color along!! I hope that ornery bull behaves himself! Be safe!
  • Thank you so much . You inspire me to want to color. I luv the chit/chat . Your voice is so relaxing. Happy you got that bull in check. Nothing worse than a cross bull.....
  • @kassandar
    I love this video so much. I love hearing you talk to us, plus learning from your explanations. I can’t wait to see more videos like this. I’d love to see one on flowers from World of Flowers. Either way, I love hearing you talk! Edit: Also, I just ordered this book and would love to see this page as a color along.
  • @Cali-gc5jm
    I love that you talk through the video that helps a lot. When you’re trying to learn some thing and you fast forward through it can’t really follow what you’re doing so thank you for taking the time out to explain everything it helped a lot.
  • @dcdaydreamer
    This was fun!! Please come back and finish this with us! I thoroughly enjoyed hearing your voice! It’s always helpful to hear the process so you understand how much pressure and when to blend over….. thanks!🥰
  • @lisawik7234
