[@susanchamblee2549]

Thank you for sharing your talents…!! You are an awesome teacher. I am a beginner but painted all of my family’s Christmas cards this year and personalized each one. I’m 71 now and I wanted to share this new joy and passion hobby I have with my 10 grandchildren and their parents and hope God grants me many more years to do so! I love your style of watercolor painting. I’ve watched several watercolor artists on Utube and I’m learning a lot. I like using smaller brushes as my hands do shake and I enjoy more detailed works. I’m also learning to sketch more even tho I think I’m terrible at it but it helps. I painted this work of yours on one of my cards for one of my daughters and wrote “Many Christmas Blessings” (in calligraphy) on the front and it came out lovely. I personalized all their cards and they loved them💖 i just ordered your brush set from your Etsy shop and will be awaiting them most anxiously. I just wanted to say thank you again and to wish you and yours a healthy, prosperous and wonderful New Year…!!🤗🎉😇🎊

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thank you so much Susan, your support means the world to me. Happy new year!

Love it 😀 it's so pretty Harriet, I am going to try this 🤭 I was really pleased with how my snowy forest came out 😁 Thank you for these great tutorials 😊

[@deWintonPaperCo]

No worries, I thought it would be nice to do something more with the forest

[@stephencynthiascherry6340]

Thank you for your outstanding demonstrations, as you have given me the confidence to open my paint box and get started! Following your tips I have surprised myself, and am now going boldly into the watercolor world! Who knew? Yay!

Love the whole piece Harriet! The technique of the star at the end is a bit different from last years so I’ll definitely have a go with some of those. Thank you. Blessings!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks Rita!

[@christinemayopowers]

Love this ❤

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@nancye7520]

Absolutely magical. I’m going to try with a snowman as the focal but definitely try your little forest behind him. I’ve used this sort of idea to do snow globes-just add a base on the bauble! Thank you, Harriet!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

That’s a great idea! I’m considering doing some more!

[@deannamunro8148]

So enjoying your Christmas paintings! This bauble is beautiful - could see it as a snow globe or a stand along picture as well.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Thanks Deanna!

Ah wonderful!

[@evybrowning]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos so consistently: I'm learning so much from your tutorials. I'm intrigued by how superbly those blues travel - what paper are you using, I'm discovering what a big difference paper & the quality of paints make. It's so encouraging to see someone using a brand of paint that is easily obtainable in the UK & isn't prohibitively expensive.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I’m using the Langton prestige by daler rowney

[@cherylbrewer1218]

So simple but so effective. What a smashing idea for homemade cards. I also love watching you with these smaller brushes. I've got some and you can betcha I'm going to give this one a try. Thank you. 😊 Apologies if you've answered this elsewhere a load of times but if you have I've not caught it... do you use 100% cotton paper? I assume you do, but maybe you'll surprise me and tell me you don't. 😄

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I do use cotton paper

[@paunoonoo-art]

Oh wow. I love it... it's so so adorable and so elegant. I will try this one definitely. I love your tutorials and you're inspiring me endlessly (is this even a word😂?)🥰

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Love to hear that, thank you!

Hi Harriet, what paper do you use for this? It is beautiful . Joan x

Hi Joan, check the episode notes

[@jozeedevoua8353]

Hi, this is amazing! Are you painting at an angle?

[@deWintonPaperCo]

No I'm on a flat table

[@alwinebr5774]

Wat een schitterende kaart kunt u mij ook zeggen wat voor penseel u gebruikt om de dunne lijnen te maken.

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Hi! It’s a rigger brush to make the fine lines

[@pamelaarcos1594]

😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@marievaillant216]

I am brand new to water colours. Wondering about the pencil sketch marks. Can they be erased after the paint dries???

[@deWintonPaperCo]

They can but it depends on a lot of variables. I have a video on this in my watercolour painting for beginners playlist

Not such a 'quick' fix, I'm afraid 😳. It took me three attempts to obtain something more or less acceptable.
