I'm back!

Think it's bound to happen with how much water touches the pan (since it's WATERcolour after all). Personally it doesn't really bother me but the folks at Art Toolkit may have some tips for you!

Thank you!

Have you tried it? I've always been intimidated at how tiny it is!

@@beckyisj Yes, I have 2 of them. One is for extra colors, and the other is a self-contained set of 12 that I keep in the plastic zip pouch insert of my passport-size Travelers Notebook.

@@arlenealennox3136 omigosh it fits inside a passport-sized TN!! that's so great!

Trying my best :)

Thanks so much Jennifer :) my writing has been going soo well and it tickles a different part of my brain. But the pull to make KZbin videos has now brought me here from the other end of the ocean :)

Thanks!

Aw thank you so much Mrs Barnabas! Hopefully I can be around more regularly :) I'll try not to me intimidated again by what Art KZbin is and just do me :) and it's so cool that you're a writer too! Would love to read your writing some time.

​@@beckyisj _"I'll try not to me intimidated again by what Art KZbin is and just do me :)"_ It isn't easy, but worth it, for you, as well as for us, 🤗 I've been re-reading some of my holiday books recently, and honestly, they amaze me. Because it's so long since I needed to do any creative writing of that sort, I'd forgotten just what I had done - they take me right back in time and place. As did, and still do, the stories I used to write for the primary age church and after school school children's clubs' puzzle and story books. At the time I wrote our holiday books, I was glad to get to the end of transcribing my 'on the spot' scribbled notes and choosing from the many photos I took or doodles I scribbled to add to the text. I loved writing them, because in doing so, I was transported back to each time and place, but by the end, after editing, etc, I was happy to send them off to family and friends and put mine on my bookshelf! (The first few were pre-computer, were typed on an ordinary electric typewriter, then photocopied at the local shop before sticking in the visuals to each one, checking that the pages were all in order and binding them!) The children's stories were an absolute joy and amazing to write. I began knowing the theme, and the first line, and from then on, they just 'wrote themselves', so reading them through was like reading them for the first time. There is no doubt in my mind that it was God's inspiration which kept my creativity alive and well over roughly four years, for every week of term term, Summer Holiday Club and Christmas goodie-bags!!!! I had a big cast of characters in the fictional Kid's Christian Club - KCC for short - by the time I left, but somehow never muddled them up (helped by maintaining a constantly updated database with my drawings of each one's head and shoulders, personal details - age, hair and skin colour, parents, siblings, friendship group, etc on my laptop and flash drive). The children each had their favourite puzzles and characters, and hoped theirs would be in that week's story, but they read them anyway. Writing those stories and making the puzzles** for them is one of my happiest 'acheivements'. **A junior and senior wordsearch, crossword and maze, code words, and spot the difference were all made easier on a computer than drawing by hand! None of it is online, amd never will be. My 'The Seasons' accounts of my plein air adventures were for my forum's members only, and pre-date the advent of Google seaches and internet thefts of writers' work. The forum's long gone as we moved on. 'The Seasons' still exist in paper form, but that is where they will stay.

@@MrsBarnabas Wow this is so amazing! I'm so glad you kept a great record of everything and you're able to revisit them till now :)

@@beckyisj When I was younger (at High School in the 1960's), along with probably every other girl in that school of approx 350 girls(!!!) I read the complete set of Chalet School books. As an adult, I gradually bought the complete set. Re-reading as an adult, I found so many errors in continuity, especially the characters, that it stopped being irritating, and became fun just to find them! But it taught me a very important lesson - the one about keeping my database (any database) up to date.! And I've actually had to refer back to it for something I was doing today! 😄

I'm no hater, but wearing a mask is neither cool nor hygienic for long periods of time. Wearing masks outdoors in wide open spaces as she's doing doesn't help her or anyone passing by. (According to scientists) that being said, I just came for the art and thought I'd respectfully reply to you.

" I realize after your video that I just need to have fun." Yes!!!!!!!! And people will respond positively to you having fun, too! 💃
