THIS... is what creative YouTubing is about. Great piece on a genius artist.

Wow, what a kind comment, thank you so much! I thoroughly enjoyed making this. Planning to make a few more like it next year. Your encouragement adds a little fuel to the fire ;)

Small World is my favorite DL attraction . I could ride it over and over again. I do when I go to the park.

[@children_of_the_craft]

I love it so much too... and the older I get, the more I appreciate it.

[@LanniSulje-j2b]

Loved this!! So interesting and informative.

[@asaritter9234]

I appreciate your research and presentation. You have included both information and art that I haven't seen in any other bios of Mary Blair. Congratulations on your wonderful achievement! I hope to see more of your work. Cheers!

Your likeness didn’t escape me with this really cool piece! You captured her spirit in the quick segments shown!

[@children_of_the_craft]

Thank you! The "actress" who played Mary is a friend of mine :)

[@CARBONATED_SO-DA]

This is exactly the kind of video that I was looking for 🥺

[@children_of_the_craft]

oh that makes me soooo happy!

[@annie2362]

Really enjoyed this! 😊 Mary Blair is my inspiration.

[@children_of_the_craft]

That's so nice to hear! Thank you! Mary is just the best :)

I’m so excited! I wasn’t aware of Mary Blair but now I know she is one of my favorite illustrators! Except, honestly, I must admit to a bit of reticence; she broke my heart as a child in Dumbo. I have never been able to watch it again. Truly shows how much power artists can wield. Anyway, I am looking forward very much to this fantastic course on using gouache! Thank you!!

[@children_of_the_craft]

I know!! That scene killed me! I'll never watch Dumbo again. I hope you enjoyed my mini documentary :)

[@MikeThomasFaria]

Nice overview! Thanks! (FYI, "Metro Goldwyn Mayer" is pronounced MAYer, like the month of May.)

[@children_of_the_craft]

Thank you for the compliment! And thank you so much for letting me know about MAYer! I really appreciate it :)

[@energyslime]

This is so great! I had no idea I was such a huge Mary Blair fan! Thanks for telling her story!

[@children_of_the_craft]

Thanks! I'm so happy you enjoyed hearing about Mary! And I had the same experience... I loved her work so much without know who she was.

[@AllBrightColors]

It’s Caballeros where the ls are pronounced like the letter Y ll in the Spanish language is a y = Cah-bye- YER-os

[@children_of_the_craft]

Yes! Thank you! My best friend is Spanish and was like, Erin you know how to pronounce this!!! I was so tempted to fix it and re-upload it but already had views so decided to leave it. You're the first person to mention it! I'm glad you did ☺

Nothing about gouache video just end s

[@children_of_the_craft]

This little doc video was made for an online gouache course that I created. It’s meant to be inspirational for those wanting to learn gouache. 90% of the work shown in this video was made with gouache :)

[@racafritz]

@@children_of_the_craft I agree. It takes time to learn how gouache works. When you find your rhythm with your art, that’s all. Someone looking for an answer of makes it fun or great is up to them.
