@ thank you for responding first of all. And yes you’re right…just make the first mark and move forward. It’s not like anyone has to see it if you create rubbish. It’s like exercising your body…..it takes time to build up the strength and time to garner the skill in your artwork 🦋

I just came across your channel (suggestion by YT)…and I just loved watching this lesson! I love the painting tulips and I love a loose impressionistic style and you provided both. Thank-you so much for giving us a quick but well taught lesson. I have just subscribed…😊

Ah that’s so great that you saw my video via KZbin suggestion. After so many years of floating in and out and not sure where my people were, this weekend I have found you all!! Let me know what else I can help with. But mainly I want you all to grow in confidence and to enjoy the mark making. Thanks for following and happy Monday!

So happy you are on KZbin. Social media can be overwhelmingly negative. I used to find artists on Social Media but now all I see is junk on my feeds so avoid it. Thank you for sharing your skill. I'm subscribing now :)

[@lyndakowalke8858]

Hey Aly! Sorry about your headaches, those clusters can be nasty! New Sub here. Pushing 70 and Karma brought me to you! Love what you are doing! I am no painter , but am giving it a go. This trying to be correct and perfect is making things difficult for me and your “loosening up“ technics are perfect for fixing it. After all, if you‘re not having fun doing it, then whats the use. Its a bit difficult not trying to make it more realistic when finished though. I like the idea of giving a time limit in drawing and perhaps also in the painting - or is that better not timing 🧐🤔🤭. Thank you so much! Stay healthy! Lynda💕

[@alyharte488]

@@lyndakowalke8858 hello!! Thank you for your kind words. I’m so thrilled that you made it to my page and that you feel inspired to paint !! Don’t worry about the timer if it feels too stressful but it is a good way to push you to gain perspective quickly. Enjoy the demos. More to come!! Thanks again for following

[@valeria75125]

Great video.Can you create more like this for different flowers?

[@alyharte488]

Absolutely!!!! So do you prefer to see me or to have the above head angle Like the last video of Manhattan? It’s tough to call it !! There is another large roses demo on here from last week. Thanks again for being here

[@valeria75125]

@@alyharte488 i Like head angle of the last video of Manhattan. I can see better what you are doing on the canvas.I really like your color mixing videos.Also some teaching on how to make warm and cool colours would be good. I like your videos because there are short enough to practice every day.If you can make a series of daily floral practise or daily practise for one one object like a vase or a leaf etc.. you can bundle them like 30 days of daily floral practice or 30 days of still life practise for daily painting. For sure i would not accept it for free. I would be glad to pay a reasonable price of one time payment for the course. More ideas: 30 days of daily floral practise on small (8"x10") canvases.or the same in larges canvases.
