I am so looking forward to attempting these for valentines cards. Please show more valentines this week.

[@anayai3438]

Very beautiful ❤

[@rebekahritter9289]

So adorable. Showing your corrections is super helpful because I am often making mistakes. I really want to try these sweet items 😊

[@MaryKayLindberg]

I’m fairly new to your lessons and to watercolor. I love this lesson. All 3 were easy with your instruction and turned out so festive. Thank YOU!

[@deniseerickson5532]

Absolutely so much fun to paint with you. My first attempt gave me lots of confidence. Hubby came by and really liked my wreath. Thank you so much Kristin!

[@rayxrayart]

I painted the watering can but I wasn't really happy at the time so I call it "Kettle's Bad Day" because it came out looking like a teapot instead. Anyway I wanted to tell you I checked out your book from the local library (believe my excitement when I saw it there) and I loved it. It felt like I was reading it in your voice. Thank you for all your work, you are a big inspiration!

[@tinkerbell2675]

Think they are so darling... thank you so much for the share. Have a great day

[@LarasArtLand1]

[@sandymanning-b5o]

Thank you Kristin it is always good to see how you sort an error out like the bottom shadow of the envelope. You sounded like you were talking in a more hushed tone - maybe your baby was sleeping 😊 the painting is beautiful ❤

Beautiful~ how can you use such 'muddy' water and not have it transfer to your palette? It seems I do the 8 and still have paint! Thank you :)
