Hi Zoe, I think I do have my colouring channel linked in all my video descriptions but if not, here it is www.youtube.com/@rebeccasartcoloringvideos7800

Thank you 😊

I wouldn't add that mash and gravy on the top again, Sue. It just flattened that yorkshire pudding and made it dough like. It was a recipe I saw on KZbin. Not a great idea, lol, although the flavour was there. I don't know how the hell my mam manged to fit 2 portions in 🤣 I'll be checking out those sandwiches. I love turkey and stuffing ones. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they're in white bread as nearly all sandwiches are wholemeal lately and it gives me IBS symptoms.

@@TheArtSpirits 2 portions was epic! She obviously liked it. ! don't even like gravy in my Yorkshire pudding. It goes soggy. I have mine on the side. I didn't notice the bread of the sandwich I'm afraid.

Thanks, Helen 😊

Hi Katie. So glad you enjoyed the vlog, thanks so much 😊 I first got into watercolour when I saw some watercolour tutorials, I think on KZbin, probably around 8 years ago. I remember then buying some sets of tutorials on DVD by a few different people. But I think my breakthrough was when I got a book by Stephanie Law and followed the tutorials in that. It's called Dreamscapes and she takes you step by step through some paintings from beginning to end. Just going through all the steps was excellent practice of different techniques and I just felt it all starting to click. The biggest thing is water control. You have to just practice experimenting with wet in wet. You really shouldn't practice on colouring book paper. Use watercolour paper. Once you've mastered the water control on watercolour paper you could move on to colouring book paper but it's really not made for watercolour, especially very wet washes like I did in this video. It was hard to paint on that paper with the amount of water I used. I was just kind of experimenting. The thing I've learned that's really important is the amount of water on the paper. There's a sweet spot that works really well. Not too wet, just a sheen, not a puddle. Too much water and it just spreads out of control. Also the paint on your brush needs to be a stronger concentration of paint. If it's too watery on your brush and you add it into another wet colour it will cause those water blooms. Lovely if you want them but annoying if you don't. I would advise you to just practice wet in wet on watercolour paper purely for the purpose of getting a feel for it. Not even to make a painting, just to practice different concentrations of paint and water. Drop strong paint into a watery page and see what happens. Then do the same on a less watery page and you will see the difference of how it behaves. Then practice different concentrations of paint on the brush. Once you've got a feel for it, you'll find your able to have some control when you come to paint something. Another tip is to practice making water blooms. It's actually a bit tricky when you want to make them. But once you know how to make them, you then know how to NOT make them too. If you learn all these things, I bet you will find a big improvement in your watercolour paintings. Hope that helps 😃🎨

@@TheArtSpirits thankyou so much for sharing, it's starting to click I followed a good tutorial on KZbin and she was explaining about the consistency, 1 should be like tea, 2 should be coffee, 3 should be milk, 4 should be cream and 5 is like butter, and that stuck with me well, been practicing all day, I only use your paints for smaller details in my ivy colouring book, and your paints turn out lovely in it, especially the gold, its much faster too 😊 thankyou again for your reply it really helped me and now I know I'm on the right path I just have to keep at it 😊 😀 xx

Oh that's great, Katie. Hope you're enjoying yourself and totally fall in love with watercolour. Yes, my metallics are mainly for embelishments. They don't behave the same way as normal watercolours so it's best to use proper watercolours for practice. You've totally inspired me today and I've got my Stephanie Law books out that I was telling you about. I've also recorded a little bit about them and it's be in Sunday's vlog if you'd like to watch it 👍🎨

Brilliant I will look forward to watching on Sunday, you helped me out so much with my art, I would not waste yiyr beautiful paints by practicing, I have winsor and newton's watercolour set for practice. I'm glad I inspired you 😌 that means alot to me because you are like my idol right now. Yay I'm excited for Sundays vlog 💓 💖 ☺️ thankyou for everything you do for us xx

Thanks so much 😃🎨

Oh thank you so much, K. I'll order it right now 🙏

Oh no, they've sold out again before I had chance to check out 😭

@@TheArtSpirits That’s shocking, I literally ordered it and then sent you the message straight away. Keep an eye on it, I am sure it will be back in stock in a few days x

@@ColouringwithK I will keep checking, K. I've already reloaded the page a few times - just in case, lol. I really appreciate you letting me know. They were still in stock when I added to the basket but sold out before I got my payment details in. Unlucky!😩

I think they're probably just a british thing, Ellie. You could make your own by just mushing up some peas 😋

Thanks, Tammy. I'll definitely be painting in that book soon 😃🎨

Awww, thank you so much, Jacki 🙂

Thanks, Barbara. Yep, that's a good option and probably easier on my hands. I did end up using the paper cutter but the Cameo idea is tempting!

Thanks so much, Kate 😊

You're a genius! The seat is on a pole that just sits in the base. I'm going to give it a try. THANK YO SO MUCH!!!!! 😃👏👍

Thanks so much, Kate 😊

Thanks, Zoe. I'll be watching your new vlog tomoz in the hut while I'm working. I've go 2 to catch up on 😃

@@TheArtSpirits aww bless you. Thank you 🥰

I totally agree. If I don't like a channel, I just don't watch it. I wouldn't dream of being an a*hole in the comments. 😃

@@TheArtSpirits ❤️

OMG, that's hilarioius, Lindy. On my own paints, I literally have that tip on my paint info sheet and completely forgot about it 🤣

I haven't seen them on Helen's channel but I do already have those books, Debbie. They're absolutely gorgeous. 😍

They are on my wish list!❤

@@debbie9001 Hope you get them soon, Debbie 🤞

Oh, thanks for that tip, Zoe. The 'I'm vlogging" clip needs to go viral. It cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣

@@TheArtSpirits hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Glad you like them 😊

It's on my Etsy shop, Joyce. I need to get it listed on my website too 🎨😃

Thanks so much, Emma. Really wish I could get that book. I hope it becomes available again before Christmas 🤞

@@TheArtSpirits aww Rebecca if you can manage to get can you order 2 and I will send you the money 🤣🤣 as I can’t get hold of it I would glad send the money before hand 🥰xx

Aww Thanks, Emma hehe x ❤

@@zoescozycoloringaww your so welcome Zoe .. hope your well and hope Steve is well too xx

I'll try my best, Emma.

Thanks so much for watching, Sue. So glad to hear you're enjoying the vlogs. 😃

Aww Thank you, Sue xx ❤

Oh yes, good idea, thanks 😃

I feel your pain, Annette, lol.

🤣 It's a beautiful colour, Jakki. Even better in real life than the video.

@@TheArtSpirits I can't wait to see it in real life and use it. might even do a video........if I remember lol 🤣

Thanks so much for your lovely message 😊. It really means a lot. You're spot on about that customer! I'm so sorry that you were affected by the hurricane. I was watching some of the news footage in the build up to it, it looked so scary and must have been terrifying for you. Glad to hear you got your power back and hope you didn't suffer much damage. Hope you enjoy some good food when those restaurants open back up 😋

I wasn't able to get into a NHS dentist, Helen. I had to go to a private dentist. So I had to pay through the teeth. No pun intended 🤣

Thank you 😊

Thanks so much, Kate. Hope you're enjoying your paints 😃🎨

@@TheArtSpirits I'm absolutely loving the sweetheart. They are being beautiful. I'm so sorry I haven't done my video showcasing them yet. Things have been difficult at home but I promise I haven't forgotten xxx😊❤️

No problem at all, Kate. I honestly wouldn't expect you to showcase them, only if you wanted to. Hope things pick up for you soon x

@@TheArtSpirits ahh thank you so much hun. Hope your mouth is healing well from having your tooth removed xxx😘❤️

Thanks, Zoe 😊 It cracks me up on your vlog when you do the "I'm vlogging" bit to Steve 🤣. I don't have the Woodland watercolour book. I have been thinking about it since it first came out and so far helf off. But now you mention it, those Gansai Tambi would be perfect for it so I just ordered it 🎨

@@TheArtSpirits yaaaaay!! It’s a beautiful book and I love the paper in it. I’d love to see your thoughts on it in the vlog if possible! Enjoy it 🥰

Yes, definitely, can't wait to get it now.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Audrey. The support really means a lot. And thanks so much for the hairdryer tip 😃

Thanks so much 😊

I did used to block quite a few people on eBay when I was more active on there. I wish I could do that on Etsy and Shopify too.

Glad you enjoyed it 😃

Thanks so much, Tammy. Yes, Lucy is so lovely. I will definitely be doing more in the Rita Berman books. The paper is great. I just did the pumpkin picture from the Autumn book with Lucy's paint set and I'm really pleased with the results. 🎨😃

Yes Rebecca! It turned out really lovely!!!

Thanks so much, Paisley. Yes, no problem. They are Billy shelves from Ikea. Very reasonalble price as well. I think the narrow ones are better for heavy book. They don't bow in the middle 👍

Awww, thanks so much. I loved the way it turned out with the Gansai paints 🎨

Thank you so much. Yes, that's exactly what I think too. She was always going to find issue. Just one of those people, lol.

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 😊

Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed it. I got that palette from Artful. It was a set which included 2 paint brushes. Here's the link to it ohhdeer.com/products/artful-mixing-kit-upgrade?_pos=2&_sid=8b32a0b81&_ss=r

I don't envy you, Sue, waiting for dental treatment 😩 I do actually have one of those large clear mats. I'll have to have a look for it. I'll definitely take your advice about trying to cut the conversation much sooner. It's so hard and frustrating and I'm often killed with after thought. She's clearly a con-woman and probably does this a lot.

So true 🤣

Thank you so much, Kate. Yep, Paddys a little cutie 🥰. LORI VALLOW INTERVIEW????? That's something I've missed! Will be looking for that, pronto!!!

You're welcome, Jacki. I didn't get proper scolded with the cuppa, just a bit of a sting, thanks for asking. Yes, fabric would be a great idea, thank so much. I'll give that a go 😃

Thanks so much, Lindy. Yes, that's definitely a good description of the situation - unnerving. Hopefully, it's over with now. I couldn't get into a NHS dentist so had to pay private, unfortunately. Glad it's over. I don't envy you still waiting to get treatment. The dental situation is pretty dire at the moment in this country. Thanks so much for watching, Lindy 😊

Thanks so much, Kate. Yes, my mouth is definitely on the mend, thankfully. 😅
