Hi Harriet, this is a wonderful video. Your voice is so calming and unhurried. This is how watercolour should be; lovely and transparent. I love your beautifully balanced composition, choice of colours, and your lovely sinuous curves. And you paint such thin lines. A pleasure to watch! 😀😀😀

Thanks Peter, so glad you liked it

[@macCALICOmac]

Do you have a makeup tutorial? Your skin (makeup?) Is so so so perfect and bright and fresh, I love it!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

I can’t tell you how much it means you saying that. I have had eczema on my face this past year and it’s knocked my confidence massively. I usually don’t wear any makeup at all but for filming I just put on a tiny bit of foundation, eyebrows and mascara. A good primer and facial oil underneath does wonders for glow!

[@macCALICOmac]

Ahhh I can imagine how hard that is to deal with. I have psoriasis on my scalp and it can be very depressing. (Coconut oil has helped intermittently) No, really your skin looks lovely! Bright and fresh. 💕 Good luck and thank you for your lovely videos.

Hi Johanna, you can get rigger brushes in different sizes. Mine is a pro arte prolene size 0.

Oh Harriet! You’re such an inspiration to me. I love the transparency in this piece and then the metallics just top it off beautifully. I’ve been using the Mozart metallics and so glad you mentioned about the need for thickness. These paints tend to disappear in the water if not left thick. I love them. I’ll be brave and give this one a try. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you!

[@deWintonPaperCo]

Ah that’s good to know. Yes it’s definitely important to have the opacity of the metallics over the top

I thoroughly enjoy watching your tutorials! Thank you so much for taking time to encourage us and help us become better at the artistry of watercolor. I do have one request… Would you mind trying a different sound tract of music.? The one that currently is the background for your tutorials becomes quite monotonous and intrudes upon the enjoyment of watching you and learning. Once again, thank you so much for the time you give and your great knowledge!
