Fell in love with the quinacridone gold. Didn't realize it was that color until you said it and was praying I had it in my collection. Thankfully I have all of the Sennelier watercolor line so that made my day. Great piece.

[@victoriagadd6831]

Awwww so lovely and peaceful gentle music x

[@idlewildwind]

Learning new things is why I'm on youtube. Any time I'm curious about something - there are always tutorials and demonstrations and lectures. If I don't know what I want to learn next - there are always new ideas on my suggestions page. Huge fan of this simplistic art style by the way! And a lovely quote.

[@pamgrover9910]

I'm tired, it's 1.30am here in the UK - but I'm binge watching your videos. Your art is so beautiful and restful, the music fits so well with your presentation and your voice is soothing and calm. I think this is an "all-nighter" coming on! 😁
