Love it! FYI sometimes you can salvage audio using adobe podcast enhance (free!) You just export the audio file, upload it to the adobe podcast enhance site, and in about three minutes you can download a fixed audio file and overlay it on your video after you lower the original sound. I do this all the time when my mic is messed up or catches bad sounds.

Your painting is amazing .I want to be a watercolour artist. I do watercolour when I was 9 . Would you please tell me which watercolour is good? I always watch your video.

Ooh I can’t wait to see your patterns Crystal! Cass’s course is so good and she’s so lovely to learn from, but I’m like you, I need to get stuck back into it! Plus fingers crossed for more in person classes (hint hint!😂😂😂)

I think,as someone who follows you, that your goal #8 seems to me is the most uniquely you!! And wonder if your number #7 could flow out of your 8th goal! The focus of your course could be how to create a fine art piece at the same time as finding a therapeutic flow!!! I would purchase that course!! ❤ excited to follow your goals this year!!

Crystal as always when you share your thoughts and ideas they do speak to me as well! These goals are helpful for me as well so thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you so very much for that detailed evaluation of these brushes this is exactly what I needed right now as I am ready to but a few and needed to know the specific differences without a lot of fluff added :-) nice and direct!

I'm seeing artists all over KZbin saying KZbin will be much less in favor of Patreon. It will be interesting to see how this works out for you. It seems to me that KZbin drives people to want more of what they get on KZbin to sign up for Patreon. I can certainly understand not running yourself into the ground by doing too much. One creator I follow does one video for both with the extended version for patrons. Yes, she does some additional things for members, like challenges, a place to post their works and a monthly gift for a randomly chosen member. I guess all of this is to say that people will need a place to discover you and what you do. I wish you the best in 2025.❤

Well Crystal all of this sounds good and at some level I understand. Hope your Patron grows. Good luck. And hoping you wont remove the videos from your KZbin channel..

Very interesting ❤❤❤❤❤❤bravissima

Good for you! ❤

Thank you for all your videos 🙏❤️

Love your goals! I love sketching & watercolor painting AND it is most definitely therapeutic for me - I leave all my cares behind & am totally absorbed in what I’m doing! Love being in that place!

Lovely video and goals ❤ I can completely resonate with the stretch of creating free videos and investing so much to create them. I hope your patron continues to grow! Don’t feel bad ❤ your time is valuable and it is not sustainable to expect you to run everything for free. Take care of yourself, the community you want to build will understand and support it ❤

I painted this one on boxing day. On my arches paper, my xmas present. They are beautiful. Thank you

Crystal I think your planning for 2025 is a great start. Looking forward to see what you come up with. ❤❤❤

I really love your sketchbook art and sketchbook tour videos! So I'm super excited you plan to work in them more in 2025

Neptune can be floppy, and if not careful, can release a lot of water. I wish I had this video before buying!

Nice one!

Very informative Tutorial Crystal ! I have all of those brushes as well ! I can't quite get used to the softness of the Neptune brushes and I get frustrated with the lack of control. I started with the Velvetouch round long in 6 and 8 and I used them every day and now the bristles are showing some wear and tear. I will actually purchase the Heritage and the Snap brushes :) Hopefully my husband is not noticing that my jars of brushes is getting bigger and bigger..... Thanks again !

I loved that very red leaf! Great painting, as usual 😊😍 Merry Christmas to you, Crystal and to everybody in this community💖💞

I love this and have done it a few times. So much fun. I still cant figure out how you pick up so much water and paint in one swoop. Boggles my brain. Lol

Crystal Merry Christmas and thanks for sharing your beautiful art with us this year. ❤❤

Lovely!

Lovely choice for Australian Xmas 😊 and a beautiful painting. Thank you

This was great information. I’m just starting with watercolour and my sketch book is Carson XL and I guess I’m happy with it, because I don’t know any better.

Lovely Christmas wreath 🎉

Merry 🎉 Christmas

Mont Marte is based in Brisbane. Australia. They now have Permium Watercolour paint too. They have some great products.

If we remember the grown ups when we were young didn't understand our activities either. Kids grow up in their own time. They adapt to their own activities. They figure out how to interact with others and fit in to the way things are. We can't put the tooth paste back in the tube! Let's not worry too much that the kids will be harmed. They will do just fine!

❤❤ love the aussie twist
