Music in background is always good adds Inspirational feel! Thank you

[@BeckyCao]

Glad you like it! ☺️

[@gsdls]

Thank you for the direction and permissions you give us when drawing and painting.

[@lindadaly7602]

So glad you enjoyed the sketch

Trying not to comment on empty bottle 🎇😋

[@pattythompson1739]

So glad you give your time to show us how to sketch and paint what is in our everyday lives. We don't have to travel to find ways to make art. We can sketch what is in our homes, show our everyday life, and it will be a wonderful record to give to our children.

[@BeckyCao]

Wonderful understanding, Patty! ☺️💗🌈 This is how we stay motivated to sketch and paint consistently for years.

[@kickboxbean]

This is so extremely helpful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your talent with us on such a continuous basis!

[@CherryCandy2002]

Yumm the burgers buns! 😋

[@sylvia4425]

Yes!!! My favorite subjects you paint: glass, plastic,...clear stuff. I still remember & admire that blue Windex bottle you painted years ago.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much Sylvia! 😊💗 Your kind words encourage me to paint more of those stuff. I love painting transparent subjects.

[@tinkuray4018]

Thank you Becky. ..you make it look so simple and thus inspire. Love the way you paint the transperant plastic wrapping of edibles. So real! Brilliant!

[@astridkruse4665]

Thank you so much for sharing. I enjoy your relaxed style and the many small but important comments on each composition. It's great that you show how you paint from real objects and not photos.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much for your appreciation!

[@helenwaby3444]

Becky, this is one of the best demos I've seen in a long time. The pen and watercolour technique is simple but very expressive. Thank you!

[@BeckyCao]

Glad to hear it was helpful! 😊

[@anick6265]

Wow!

[@R_H21]

Hi Becky. I always love how you paint glass and anything transparent (like plastic bags) =)

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you for your appreciation! 😊 They are always fun to paint.

[@TinRoofVintage]

I love your comment about being Brave, which is true for me. I do tend to look for the "easy" things to draw and paint, however, your beautiful work and explanations inspire me to tackle anything ... no matter how it comes out! 😀 Thank you! Peace and Blessings from Texas USA 🌹❤🌹

[@BeckyCao]

So glad to hear about your thoughts! 😊 🌸 Best wishes to you as well!

[@suzanneboily5224]

I can watch you always! So inspiring! Thanks for sharing! What beautiful trees out there! Where out there are you?

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you! I am based in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

[@jayneelinor]

Beautiful wc sketches! My favorite part of this one is the buns in the bag, great job!

[@BeckyCao]

Thanks so much 😊

[@jirinaraeder3155]

Hello Becky 👋 Thank you for sharing your drawings. When I see your drawings, it makes me want to draw more everyday. Love your beautiful drawings 👍🤩

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much 😀

[@Heidi.M]

Hi Becky. I’m so glad I discovered your channel. Your approach to life in general really comes through in your artwork. Also, I love listening to your commentary!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much, Heidi! ☺️ Glad to hear you enjoyed my teaching.

[@7merel1]

I enjoyed this session immensely! I'm envious of all the beautiful fall colors, here in S California there isn't much of that! But I do have a bag of buns! I love how you make plastic bags so interesting.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you for your appreciation! ☺️💗 Sometimes when we get too much rain here in Vancouver, I wish for warm sunshine like in the South!

[@janetchen959]

Becky, it is so fun to look at your sketch and painting. Hope I can paint like you too

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you for your appreciation, Janet! ☺️ You can paint very well too with practice and time.

[@recoveringsoul755]

Wow everything looks so real. The clear stuff you paint usually looks too dark to me when you start adding color, but somehow in the end it always looks right. I guess my eye is tricking me. It will be interesting to see the seasons change through your drawings

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you for your appreciation! ☺️ I think painting is all about creating visual illusions with colors and tones.

[@vinsenanda]

I enjoy the video... happy to discover your channel, very inspiring... ^^

[@dianeryle9700]

Becky, I love this video Your sketching technique looks so creative and fun. I'm so glad I found you on this page. Can't wait to view them all!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much! ☺️💗

[@Hummmminify]

I am working on improving my watercolor journals and yours rocks.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you 😊 You will get better with time and practice!

[@joyprewitt2785]

Love watching you draw and paint!👏👏👏💜

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much 😀

[@gisellelopes8307]

You are very talented and inspired me today!!

[@BeckyCao]

Wow, thank you! ☺️

[@springdawnstudio]

You are amazingly talented person. So lovely. I love traveling and I love painting, but there is no sense of art! I cannot even draw 2 straight lines without crossing each other. 😅

[@jmponton]

You make it look so easy.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you! ☺️ Rigorous practice helped.

[@eileenvalachovic9435]

Love your videos. Thank you for sharing so much instruction. Good luck with your paper.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much Eileen! 🥰

[@nazneenjabbar6618]

As always, really enjoyed watching this video.😍 My challenge for today, to follow a similar layout. Especially a glass bottle and plastic bag with contents. Wish me luck ☺️

[@BeckyCao]

You can do it! 😀 Thank you for your appreciation.

[@moodymoonlight3909]

I lovee this soo muchh! Soo impressed with your talent! I usually use acrylic paint and still a beginner, but you inspired me to try watercolours now 😍😘

[@BeckyCao]

You can do it! ☺️💗 Thank you for your appreciation!

[@thatslifecaro1479]

your videos are so interesting and give loads of advice. I am very inspired by your beautiful art and I learn a lot from you! I understand that, for concision purposes, you accelerate (am I right?) the video of you drawing. Would you tell me how much is the acceleration (if there is one) so I can also watch you draw at normal pace. I have a tendency to set myself unrealistic drawing speed (especially as a beginner) and I also tend to lack patience.. Thank you!

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much for your appreciation! For the drawing part, I make it 4x faster, and the painting parts are mostly 2x speed.

[@thatslifecaro1479]

@@BeckyCao thank you!

[@recoveringsoul755]

Wow that third window view was stunning! Are you on the 3rd floor?

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you! Yes I was on the 3rd floor.

[@stefaniac2095]

Your colors always come out so vivid. Do you wait for your first layer to dry before adding the next ones? My watercolors always look very messy and muddy.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you. It depends. Sometimes we have to wait for the layer to dry. Sometimes we need to do wet-on-wet (for example, sky gradience), then be cautious about mixing warm vs cold colors, and not over stir the area. Lots of experience and practice.

[@stefaniac2095]

@@BeckyCao thank you, really good tips. I will watch out for those mistakes 😘

嗨 您好 關注您的視頻有一陣子了，很喜歡您詳細的解說，雖然我的英文不太好，但大致上能瞭解您要傳達的意思。我很想請問您，畫畫的本子是在哪裡購買和什麼品牌，我住在台灣，一直找不到像您那樣厚的紙。謝謝 祝您平安健康❤️

[@BeckyCao]

您好，我是在加拿大的亞馬遜上購買畫本。推薦Moleskine牌子畫本,具體是「Moleskine Watercolor Notebook"。北美這邊的牌子不知道在台灣可否買到：Arteza Watercolor Sketchbook, Strathmore Watercolor Sketchbook, Speedball Hand Book Watercolor Journal。謝謝關註。☺️
