Thank you for sharing! When you added lines to it's face it looked a bit grumpy... Then I was thinking, why are you grumpy little guy? Oh, he came all the way up the hill to find out the tree had no apples. 😄

You deserve so many more subscribers! You're paintings are so refreshing and stylistically unique among all the watercolor channels here on KZbin. And the way you teach is so simple and relaxing. Please don't stop.

I'm not a teacher just a guy sharing what I do...that said, thanks so much for the nice words and encouragement.

[@InkyJoey]

The chat is refreshing - "I'll make some rocks with this old credit card", "I'll use this fan brush I haven't used before and see what happens", "I'll use some green, it's olive green or sea green or something". So casual, just enjoy the process. Love it
