Amy...."You're the Bomb"!! I'm addicted to your video's and am just starting to paint. What a wonderful teacher you are. I enjoy learning from you. A young grandma (I am) who's retired now and searching for my glitch to fill my days. I've always loved crafts, painting, writing, calligraphy, etc. and I think I've found you for a reason. Keep doing the great work you do Amy and I will continue to watch your incredible talents!

[@cs973243]

Hi Amy, thank you for being so patient with us. I love your tutorial. And for a beginner like me, i find your voice soothing and easy to follow...

[@obertinsky]

❤ Amazing I found this great video with precious artist and her outstanding painting! Thanks!

[@robertharrison3241]

Amy, you are a very clever young lady and this old codger (85) will try his best to follow your very clear instructions. I have tried to follow others but I find that you are by far the better of them all. Thank you young lady for I feel that this old man can still learn from the young. Robert

[@kenselayre]

Thank you for a lovely, simple tutorial! My eight year old son and I are starting your project for a spare room. He wants a nature theme, so we are decorating the walls with his artwork. We've seen many tutorials, but he gives yours an A+. Thanks for sharing your talent with us :)

Amy the painting is beautiful! Very nicely done by the way. I like how some of the trees are leaning and some are fat, thin, etc. You did a great job making the forest effect happen. Bravo!

[@shannonlaughlin4787]

I am new to painting and I found this video to be very helpful and straightforward. I do not have a sea sponge but I used a loofa instead and it did the trick! I really enjoyed the process and am pleased with the finished product..I found your voice to be soothing - Thanks :)

[@GinaHaffie]

amy I love your work..... you helped my techniques to improve my paintings. I paint... don't know much about the technical theories and why I do things I do..... I don't worry much and love to paint,,,, however, I think it behooves me at this point to learn correct techniques or have an understanding..... even wondering why choose colors..... besides what looks good (although that works!!!) ...... at any rate.... I enjoy your works and thank you !!!! funny, I have a background ready for birch trees... and cannot find sponge ..... I guess I will use brush or knife for leaves...... your trunks are gorgeous! thanks.

[@deannacroson2307]

Love this! Thank you!

[@RusticWoodworking]

Thank you for taking the time to post this tutorial. It is absolutely wonderful.

[@DeafPoet2]

I love the colors you've created on your canvas, it sure came out beautiful with the trees and colorful leaves! Wished I could buy this! Thanks for showing us how to do this, I will be practicing and learning your technique!

[@janggeum1597]

What a beautiful piece, just like you!!

[@birchwood17]

Great video, great instruction and very peaceful. You have a great skill. Keep posting more. Today I will paint some birch trees. Inspirational.

[@cathycarey6555]

Amy, just finished watching your Birch tree video and am ready (I hope) to get started! This is my 3rd attempt at leaving a comment, not knowing I needed a you tube channel of my own! So I hope this isn't duplicated somewhere. Anyway, I am a nurse by trade but so, so want to be an artist! Formal training is not an option for me, but with videos like yours I don't think all is lost. I've spent the last 3 months buying artist supplies and 'getting ready' I hope you keep making videos!

[@1126jcbirch]

Absolutely stunning! I can do this!

[@martinezrj95]

Very beautiful, it makes me want to start painting right away
