[@karencharleston9475]

I love you guys and your interaction with each other!

[@mandypittman1154]

I love that you said you paint two paintings at the same time some times. I do that all the time! It totally frees me up to try new things! Great minds thinking alike!

[@YenNguyen-xy6co]

So sunshiny and nice!

[@thepettydetails]

I love how this tutorial explores lighting! I love the sunny effect and I'll keep your tips in mind when I'm doing other paintings. Also, I'll probably do this project a million times; it's so fun!

[@LetsMakeArt]

We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed this tutorial and the lesson Sarah taught in regards to lighting. We totally recommend checking out her Sunlit Forest eBook which takes the foundational lessons learned in this tutorial and expands on it. www.letsmakeart.com/products/sunlit-forest-ebook-by-sarah-cray?Social&

Your hairstyle is beautiful and so is the painting.

[@Johnnnnnnnyyyyyy]

I love this forest scene. The dialogue between the two of you keeps me engage and it’s so positive and uplifting. I can’t wait to buy the ebook. Light sources really make the magic in these types of landscapes.

[@LetsMakeArt]

We love hearing that you enjoyed this tutorial so much. We hope you have THE BEST time working on the Sunlit Forest eBook!!

[@marinagoudappel6040]

This is so nice! Just to watch, it feels a bit like a Bob Ross show, it is so relaxed and happy.

[@marinagoudappel6040]

And of course learning a lot!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

This is the ultimate compliment, so thank you!! We're so glad you enjoy watching Sarah create beautiful projects. Thank you for loving and supporting our small business.

[@joannesarlo518]

Love this little painting. And, great tips on radiating/gradiating your colors and dancing to dry it!!!!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Doesn't Sarah just explain things so perfectly?! We're so glad you enjoyed our latest watercolor tutorial.

[@angd4268]

Loved this project. For another ebook I would love how to compose floral or even impressionist type stuff.

[@LetsMakeArt]

Stay tuned!!👀😉

[@evaonody9263]

So heart warming picture. Thank you for sharing this project! 💖

[@LetsMakeArt]

You are so welcome! We are thrilled that you enjoyed our latest watercolor tutorial. Thank you for tuning in!!

[@jamiwildeman8373]

I loved this SOOOO much! I was super happy with how it came out! 🙂 Until I added the shadows and then I completely messed it up!😥 But I will try and try again because I love this painting! As always, thank you so much for sharing your gift of art and teaching in a way that makes this accessible to all! Have a happy day!

[@veroniquegauthier1427]

Thank you very much for this great tutorial.

[@LetsMakeArt]

[@donnaleifels3856]

Wow I love this painting and Sarah gave so much information 💕🦋

[@LetsMakeArt]

We're so glad to hear that you enjoyed this lesson. Thank you for tuning in.💛

[@YenNguyen-ri3nw]

Beautiful painting!

[@LetsMakeArt]

Sarah definitely knocked it out of the park with this lesson!! We are obsessed with both her Sunlit Trees project and her Sunlit Forest one as well.🤩

[@highonart2204]

You guys are such a great team 🙌 I love that interaction

[@LetsMakeArt]

Thank you!!💛

[@vupps]

And oh by the way the painting and lesson was soooo good and i immediately bought the ebook and kit you had mentioned in your video!

[@YenNguyen-ri3nw]

I actually created the project you showed when talking about the e-book

[@LetsMakeArt]

That is awesome!! How did you enjoy bringing your own version of the Sunlit Forest to life?!

[@treehuggingbuddhist]

Thanks Sarah for teaching us the word “gradiate” and also “crafty gun tool.” Keenan should def add these to Steve the dictionary! 😂

[@annieb8955]

Love this Sarah❤️

[@gailhernandez3257]

I love your lessons, but have a hard time with the liquid water color. Any tips?

[@LetsMakeArt]

We're so happy to hear that you enjoy painting along with our watercolor lessons. We totally recommend checking out our Watercolor Beginner Series. In episode 1 Sarah goes over tips and tricks with how to use liquid watercolors.

[@vupps]

I have a question, Sarah. Why wouldn’t the shadows be like brown in color or golden brown near the back trees but you’ve given it a green tint? Can the shadows be darker?

[@Johnnnnnnnyyyyyy]

At minute 38 she goes over shadows being darker.

[@jaxrussell9499]

I don't have a kindle or anything like it. Can this book be downloaded onto my computer?

[@LetsMakeArt]

Yes, you can download the eBook to your computer.

[@dragonplus7354]

I did the leaves with my non-dominant hand so I couldn't be precise with them.

[@LetsMakeArt]

What a good idea. Also that's awesome that you are able to paint with both hands.

[@mjgenualdi22]

My 10 year old niece took notes - she wrote around 2, around 6, around 10.... :o)

[@LetsMakeArt]

That's awesome!!

[@christinahutchison3967]

LMA is my zin place.

[@LetsMakeArt]

We LOVE hearing this. Thank you for tuning in and painting along with us. We hope you enjoyed our Sunlit Trees tutorial.

[@perrosyjoyas]

No drama LMA... Hehe..

[@annieb8955]

Do you have a bird in the studio? I hear bird ceaps

[@jrm2716]

Buyer beware: dye based "paints" will fade over time.

[@jaye5127]

Totally aware. Curious to see if I can reuse the paper🧐

[@monikapatel6081]

[@sharonobrien218]

Poor instructional design. You don’t start by telling: materials and specific type of paint used, as well as paper weight and water mixing, supplies, paper towel, metal pan, etc. You discuss paint product at the end! How useful is that? The painting is fine, the jabber is distracting. Such a shame as the instructor’s philosophy and tone are positive, encouraging and otherwise effective. So annoying not to be informed specifically at the beginning…and the advertisement for the ebook in the middle makes one thankful for fast forwarding. Recommend instructional design guidance.

[@msemilyli]

Love the tutorial. I've always wanted to learn how to watercolor properly. However I can't stand the commentary from the male narrator. I found his jokes corny and very distracting. Please just only feature the female instructor - she's wonderful.

[@YenNguyen-xy6co]

So sunshiny and nice!

[@YenNguyen-ri3nw]

Beautiful painting!
