[@scoopdecoop]

this bird is so adorable, and I can't wait to paint a flock of birds..... and animals, love this style!!! thank you for the wonderful tutorial

[@AzaleaLala]

That little bird is so cute. Beautiful coloring.

[@coveredinpaint7318]

I love the colours you use, and the birds are cute, but I think they all have such sad eyes. TFS.

[@relov-d]

I like all your videos, but especially like when you talk through what your doing because you have great insight. Thank you!

[@bmwcruise]

Thank you. I really enjoyed watching you create your little birds. The colors you use are amazing. TFS.

[@darlenelauth3143]

This is like meditation for my soul.

[@willowingarts]

Love this bright and cherrie little bird. Thanks for sharing your work and technique.

[@fiddlesticksgalore]

I just found your channel today, I love it. Love your birds, love your girls, love you techniques, so stinkin’ cute!! 😁😁😁💕

[@willowingarts]

Aww so sweet of you to say! ♥️ Thank you! ❤️🌸❤️

[@bluecurlygirl]

Tamara, just wanted to say thank you. Through you I heard about the Lead from the heart initiative. I have had the busiest week this week with the most beautiful of gifts for the spirit and mind. I believe I was meant to find it. It's been a crazy few months and my angels have been looking for attention but I haven't listened to them in so long. I speak to them often but I didn't realise until the beginning of Lead from the Heart that I HAD stopped listening. You were the catalyst for my discovery. Thank you. And for the wonderful gift you provided on that too. I'm on an exciting journey and totally buzzing with excitement for the first time in 7 years

[@lauracardona872]

I I’m just seeing you for the very first time and I love your work you’re a excellent teacher just love your painting thank you so very much add blessings from Laredo Texas

[@CherylGormanAuthor]

I love the crowns you put on your characters.

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Awe, what an adorable bird. =) I love all the pages in that journal. =) I'm a huge fan of your work. =) I love all the little details... and the dangles, and etc.... =) Thank you for sharing this, and the PDF, too. =)

[@TheZontania]

I been feeling depressed yesterday and couldn't stop crying this morning. Then I sat to do some art. Made a bird on a branch. Wanted it to be set as seen from behind a prison window, but my bird resisted. So I painted her in a green setting. She is pretty and sparkly, calm and resilient. I am surprised. She is lovable albeit all alone. I haven't read your book yet. Just had a quick flip through. Sometimes things are too much of a burden and are better swept under the carpet. But I do watch your videos from time to time and they are relaxing. They have a fairy tale quality about them. And the colours are amazing. I watched a flip-through you did and saw unfinished projects, stalled projects, and beautiful works. I realised that it is ok as long as we keep moving forward and don't give up! I just wanted to share all this with you so you know what impact you are having on people's lives. I send you love and appreciation. Thank you.

[@willowingarts]

Big hugs to you. Sorry you've been having a rough time, holding you in the light. Glad my videos provide some solace and inspiration. Yes, I have many unfinished projects! I just keep going forward, let go of perfectionism, you are beautiful and awesome just as you are. Baby steps and gentle kindness. Much love to you!

[@TheZontania]

willowing thank you so much! I have been listening to your singing, too. You are so accomplished but what I love the most about you is the spark in your eyes and your playfulness. Like when you were with that man whom you wanted to sing and he was self conscious.

[@susanhemion2981]

❤️

[@Nancymarie410]

I love it. So of course I have to paint a whimsical bird😃👍 thank you for this video.

[@angelahoynes5649]

Love the idea of your quirky bird, can’t wait to try this. Thank you very much.

[@robinsutton4952]

Thank you. This came at a very needed time. Bad week at work and heat hit me, brought me down. So looking forward to going home and starting the weekend with a bird (and not the finger symbol).

[@wendystapleton5130]

What a beautiful relaxed video. Fear and worry can lock us into dark places where creativity seems out of reach. You show that simple inspiration can be the key that sets us free. Colours pour over the darkness that holds us back and fear fades. These little birds are a joy to paint thank you so much.

[@willowingarts]

thank you so much!

[@annefaint6127]

Your birdies are so lovely and colourful,,,xxxx

[@katies8080]

A very flambouyant bird, but it looks a little sad to me! I love the hearts and stars you added to the branch and you answered my question as to why you changed the birds chest from purple to green. Thanks for sharing

[@constancegundetson9971]

Enjoyed watching very much. Thank you!

[@CherylGormanAuthor]

Love the bird! So whimsical and makes me smile. 😃 The feathers are a delight!

[@lidiagradzinski5187]

I was looking for inspiration for an art journal page when I stumbled upon your video. Your work is amazing and I although I cannot draw, I picked up a pencil and before I knew it I had a bird on a branch! I love to colour so out came my polychromos pencils! Couldn't resist fussy cutting him and putting him in my art journal. Thank you, I'm so glad I found your channel. Bless you for sharing your gift.

[@willowingarts]

Thank you for your wonderful comment Katherine! So glad I got you creating. I believe in you!

[@sarahdermody6665]

You have inspired me so much today! I'll be heading over and showing you what I've created. I found your channel this week and instantly loved your style, and by chance my husband bought me 'create your life book' for valentine's Day, it had been in my Amazon wishlist for a while. I feel it's meant to be! Anyway, thank you and keep being amazing x

Willow, thank you for your sweet awesome art! I had forgotten how healing art can be until you reminded me. I came across you while looking for sketchbook revival.

[@janevincent7103]

Adorable. I adore your bird. I agree that the green tummy works ever so well, and with the other colors, the birdie stands out beautifully. I was drawing the various bird shapes with you and they are easy and fun. Your shading is right on. Love your work, JaneXOXO

[@leannesawtell4450]

Hi Tamara, like so many of the other creative’s have said, I also find it very calming and soothing just watching you work and all the beautiful colours that you use, also the tone of your voice just everything I find truly calming and soothing, so I wanted to thank you for that. I’m going through a particularly tough time at the moment so I’m so glad I stumbled across this video and signing up for your newsletter. The other thing is I have had Tombow’s for a long time, I only used to use them to colour individual stamps want to write things on cards, I had no idea I could do this type of thing with them, I’m so super excited to give this a try now and I’m so drawn to the cute quirky little birds. Off to bed now so I can try some of all of this tomorrow. Thanks again, many blessings to you Tamara 😚🤗

[@monalcreates]

Such a cute and pretty little bird Tamara!! Love everything you do!!
