I love painting with you guys! As a geologist I was very intrigued by the thought you had about mountains vs volcanos and wanted to explain the difference. Whole chapters are written on the subject in text books so don’t even worry for wondering. Here is a super brief/basic explanation: Mountains can be formed in many ways. In the case of subduction zone mountain building (where 1 tectonic plate goes under another) a volcanic chain/mountain can form. The bottom plate gets hot and melts, this melted rock finds a conduit to the surface. As it reaches the surface it cools and builds up the rock over multiple episodes forming a mountain. You can get this same thing occurring over a hotspot (no subduction, the melted rock of the asthenosphere finds a conduit to the surface). Hawaii is an example of a hotspot volcanic mountain. Thank you for sharing your talent with us each week!!

Hi Let's make art! For the first time forever I've put up a comment and I'd just like to say that I'm truly a fan of this channel and how you guys incorporate everything that goes into a painting so beautifully. Honestly, Sarah's paintings are my favorite and I've been following her watercolor paintings as much as I can, her paintings are the best and she's really the one who introduced me to watercolor and taught me all regarding the composition of such a form of art. So I'd just like to say my thanks to her and the team!

The dock shadow was such a suspenseful and delightful moment. It’s nice to know you still have those, because I have them all the time!!
