Another very nice gouache painting, Sharon. That hosta-like plant at the front left is superb - and the light area at the end of the path really draws the eye into the piece. Thanks for sharing - best wishes, Brian.

Beautiful piece! 🤍✨️ It has been a while since ive painted anything. Been busy and tired most days but I do want to start up again. I miss painting so much! Wishing you a wonderful weekend Sharon ❤

[@SharonCullenArt]

I was ya. It had been a while for me too. I just started sketching again this week. It helps me to start small and work up from there!

[@sharonsunshine2532]

Thank you so much for the video. Your landscape is beautiful. Praying that you are on the mend.

Yes finally done with the IV antibiotics at home and had my picc line pulled. Now I’m focusing on strengthening my hip. I had made some progress but after the last two surgeries and that sepsis, I was so weak. Now I’m restrengthening and I think I, about back to where I was and I’m trying to move past that.

[@drbennettdc]

@@SharonCullenArt That is such good news. ❤ I know we were all worried about you. Sepsis is not something to play around with.

[@neidedegouvea]

Beautiful ❤❤❤❤

Love the greens in all the foliage, art helps us feel better. Suggestion for your camera angle, can you film from the other side, across from you?😊🙏

[@SharonCullenArt]

I'll try that I will have to film upsidedown because my table is against the wall and 2 windows. But I can flip it during editing. It's worth a shot. I will have to try some practice videos until I come up with a better plan. I changed tripods and I think I should go back to my old one.

[@elflordsjourneys]

Exactly what I do.😀

[@madelynsmith8281]

Your landscape is as beautiful as always. Thank you for the tips. I hope you are well and had a wonderful Easter. Has your granddaughter arrived?

[@SharonCullenArt]

Thank you. My Easter was as good as expected. It was a slow process recovering but we had my son and daughter-in-law here with us so it made up for that. No grand daughter yet. She’s due in July.😊 I can’t wait!

[@pattymcclung3300]

So pretty! Glad you’re on the mend. 🩷🙏

Hi, Sharon….I have a question for you. Do you use the same paint brushes for watercolor as you do for gouache? Thanks! Oh, and those hostas are gorgeous!!!

[@SharonCullenArt]

Great question. No. I recommend synthetic brushes like golden taklon or nylon because they don't hold much water. Gouache is used somewhat drier. I use Klinski brushes for watercolor although I have some synthetics I also use.
