[@gloria7415]

You’re always smiling as you sketch☺️ It’s really nice to see your enjoyment for your art even when you explain the details of your process so carefully!

[@nancye7520]

What a great cafe! Your food jumps off the plate 😊

[@maureendaunt8665]

Love your work and your detailed explanation. So joyful in delivery and execution. Thankyou so much, you have shown me how to relax more when sketching and not focus on precision. 🙏🤗

Great video Becky! It's great seeing the image up in the corner, as always I love how you interpret what you're seeing. Your drawings always make the environment look even better 😂 really enjoyed this one ❤

I love your paintings dear Becky. I like watching the process from start to finish and listening to your detailed commentary, I am learning alot from you. I especially like how you incorporate your coffee and snack into your paintings, what a treat to keep you going while painting! Thankyou for your videos. 😊

[@ninawilhelm36]

Hey Becky, I sketched and painted along with you for the food part of the video. Not ready for all the background details but I'll tackle it soon. So enjoy your videos.

I love you style of art. Did you give this piece of art to the restaurant owner?

[@margaretpinsent6388]

Hi, I've just come across your video and I'm fascinated. I've used fountain pens to write all my life (I'm 73) so I'm especially interested in the pens you're using. The ease of use and the effect you get are wonderful. Drawing with a fountain pen! I must check them out, I'm guessing the nibs are special. What do you like about them? Thanks

[@getsomecolourinyourlifedav2478]

Must have very good self discipline painting while your food is in front lol i wouldve taken a photo and munch munch 😂

[@simaabedini5908]

I like your sketck book its big enogh to capture your surrounding hat brand and size is this please.

[@BeckyCao]

It's the Etchr brand, mix media, A4 size Landscape format sketchbook. Cold press paper.

[@messengerofgoodnews]

Is your Mungyo watercolor pallete/kit a travel size? I just bought one, but it seems as though yours looks like mine but larger. Mine has two rows of half pans and is the Sargent Art 12ct case. Doesn't the wobbliness of the tiny pans drive you nutty? It's like they're going to fall out any second. I'll likely add a magnet sticker to the bottom to keep them more secure/in place.

[@BeckyCao]

Yes it is a travel size palette, probably the smallest one in the art supplies market. About the size of my hand.

[@darlenemc3586]

I'm still buying my supplies. I can't find your brand of watercolors in America. I didn't see them on Amazon or Dick Blicks Art in Seattle. Do you recommend another brand that's local? Where do you buy your watercolors? I'd love too use your favorite brand. Thanks Becky. Have a great day!

[@BeckyCao]

Hi Darlene, I also enjoyed using Sakura Koi watercolors, and I recommend the 24-color set. Have a lovely day!

[@darlenemc3586]

I found and bought the 24 Mungyo watercolors set off of Amazon for only $20.00. I'm so excited to get all the supplies tomorrow. I bought the journal you recommended and the same ink pins and ink. I found the ink on Amazon for $21.00 and it arrives in a week. I bought some technical markers until the Noodlers Ink arrives and the same watercolor brushes.

[@darlenemc3586]

Hi Becky. I have been trying the paints and brushes out before I take a class because it's been 30 years since I've used watercolors and they are so different from acrylics. I am loving the experience and want to thank you for the inspiration. I love the paint set from Mungyo and I am blown away by the paintbrushes you recommended! Wow they are a delight to use and the perfect brush. I have Rosemary brushes and these are waaaaay better and more fun to use. Maybe it's the watercolors, too. Thank you for everything. You make art fun!

[@simaabedini5908]

Why does it seem so hard to start doing this in public? Any suggestion for begginers?

[@BeckyCao]

I started doing this in public only 2 years ago, after sketching mostly at home for like 8 years. It's better to start practicing sketching the things and views outside your home windows first, before making the big step sketching in public.

Another coffee, another cookie, same drawing different place.

[@darlenemc3586]

lol! I paint landscapes and it's another river, another tree, another mountain! That's what it means to be an artist. We paint the same things over and over and over again because it's so much fun and enhances our lives tremendously. Please give art a try and see how it enhances your life. God Bless!
