[@heathernolan902]

I’m enjoying the coloured pencil class very much. I heeded all your warnings about posture, taking a break to stretch and all that and still ended up with a sore butt of all things because I chose to do the paintings at my dining room table on a hard chair instead of at my desk with the nice padded chair 😂 Lesson learned, and I’ll continue at my desk or move to the couch if I want to be social 😁Have a great week Lindsay and everyone… and don’t make art a pain in the a$$ 😆

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Oh no! I'm glad you are taking you butt seriously 😆

Good Morning Lindsey. I look forward to Sat Chat all week.

Thank you!

I treasure my Sennelier watercolor tubes I bought at a shop in France. Such a wonderful memory. Stationery shops are fertile ground for inks and supplies as well. The French population appreciates a good art supply as much as we do!!

Wonderful!

Thank you so much!

If you haven’t gotten the Color Pencil class you MUST! I’ve learned so much already in the first few classes. I’ve been telling everyone I know about it.Oh that brush holder!!! I am already going to Dollar Tree cuz the Deal Guy showed these cool stacking shelves for under the sink! I trust your reviews and even the older reviews. I purchased Paul Rubens from a year old review b/c it matched what I was looking for as opposed to the 5th gen out now. LIVE STREAM LIVE STREAM LIVE STREAM YES!!!!!!!Happy Saturday everyone.

I love your honesty and being so real! I don’t like the cold weather either, and agree that you need to get outside as much as possible in the summer! The art work that’s on your desk is fantastic! Happy Mother’s Day to you!🤗

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thank you:)

[@darlastitz6767]

I bought the alcohol marker class on sale and wasn’t able to get to it for over a year but when I was finally ready to use it , it was there waiting for me. Best of all I can refer back to it whenever I want and I purchased it when it was on sale. I am an adult colorer and am seriously considering getting this colored pencil class too. Extremely informative and helpful and it’s ALWAYS there when ever I need it.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Grab it now, the coupon code is actually still active til the end of the month (because I created the code before I decided to end the sale on the 14th 😆)

YES YES YES livestream of the bolts in watercolor!!!! Have I been mis pronouncing the word sepia for my whole life?? I have heard you pronounce it two ways....I thought it was pronounced seeee pia. Oh well....that's me, I guess!! Thanks Lindsay!

[@phillipstroll7385]

Every dictionary in the world has a pronunciation key.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

I've said it both ways and I hear it both ways. I tend to say see-pia 😆

[@GrandmaMuggy]

Thanks Lindsay. I would do that nuts and bolts in watercolor. I love to make cards and it would be a fun one to give to some of the men in my family. Can’t wait for the Michael’s class too. I love your pod casts. So interesting to hear from other artists. And supplies! I am trying to use what I have and not run,out to get everything everyone talks about! For me it’s a lack of confidence and thinking if I get what they have I’ll improve which is not the way to think of it! Having a regular schedule of working and painting is what I need! Thanks for listening.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

So true!

[@christinetrappenfortes7761]

Hi Lindsay, I watch all of your videos and love the bolts in watercolor idea. Would definitely watch it. Would be a great gift for Father’s Day on a card or even framed.😅

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Did you say you're off to France on the 12th? That's just a week away!! Are you all ready to go? You must be excited/nervous/happy/scared etc all rolled into one. There's always so much to do just before a big trip. You are without a doubt the busiest person I know between all your classes and videos and podcasts etc. I don't know how you do it all and manage to keep a smile on your face. Anyway, you have a lot to look forward to and I hope you love every minute of it!

Happy Saturday Lindsay! First, I don't know how on earth I will ever know the day of the week without SatChat while you are gone! I bet you guys are going to have THE BEST time in France! Second, oh my gosh, that seascape you had displayed behind you...that is gorgeous! I could almost hear the waves 🙂 I am regressing...meaning the more I try to paint the worse I get. It's honestly like I've never seen a watercolor brush, lol. I hope you have a wonderful week and don't have too much stress prepping for your trip (you know how you are hahaha!).

Added bonus on my digital board suggestion; if jason isn't joining you in france he can eddit from home or prep directly from and in the digiboard feed. I might not be an internet wizzkid but am not a complete noob either; I can imagine Jason needing some timeoff. But then again I can totally live with Jason's laughter caught on camera.

[@pattibull6772]

I would love to see the bolts in water color since that's my preferred medium. I used to say colored pencils were my least favorite supply, but after starting your new class I'm loving colored pencils also!

[@cathyquilts2609]

Such a good review! I feel the same way, I played with my good colored pencils on one project and I HATED them, so slow. Maybe I should get Lindsay’s class and give them another try.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Wow! Thank you!

[@jennw6809]

Don't apologize for having a recognizable style! That's your artist handwriting! 🫖

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks:)

[@RoseDreamsinger]

As to binder clips, in the office supply aisle, Walmart sells a box of multicolored ones in various sizes that have color-matched rubber coating on the extended metal parts. It's just the slightest bit sticky, which gives them a good, strong grip, yet being softer, they're gentler on your paper. They're also just easier to handle, being less slippery. I'm less likely to drop them or get frustrated with them.

[@thefrugalcrafter]

Thanks for the tip!

You know, a great Art Chat that would appeal to a wider audience would be you and Sarah Burns talking about how the winner season affects you and your methods of coping with it and staying happy. She also talks about the winter effect on her spirits and Scotland had even shorter days. I think a chat about how creatives cope with winter darkness would appeal to all creative genres, beyond watercolor and gouache.

I love large binder clips as a way to hold a towel around me. It's my favorite silly 'life hack'. Wrap a towel (bath sheets are the best!) around you, fold a little bit of the outer towel over the inner towel at the center of your chest, put a binder clip there, fold down the silver bits, then tuck the remainder of the towel that's left to hide the binder clip. Holds like a dream.

Hullo Lindsay, I watch SatChat knowing that you are going to be talking about a cornucopia of topics! I often struggle with buying brushes and brush sets. I truly believe that I would not use them, yet ideal Michael has lofty goals of teaching live classes again and keeping supplies available to do that can be expensive. I need to concentrate on creating art in my own ideas lists! I must have 7 or more pictures down on paper ready for painting! I have a new group of projects for soft pastels on paper as I still feel like a newbie in that medium! I love the idea of the bolts and watching your livestream! I often have trouble getting to work while watching live events as I work much more slowly than others. You are truly inspirational and rather good at doing while explaining yourself as you work! Most of us who have done it are envious of your expertise and the ease of your delivery. I hope you do go forward with your plans for creating live events and real time classes! Happy Trails to you and your beau! Remember to enjoy your time in France 🇫🇷

[@elyselaforest7700]

Have a wonderful trip, Lindsay! Absolutely dial back for the summer. Winters are too long and dreary. (I used to travel often to Bar Harbor in the winter for business. After a week, i would be so glad to leave. Between the cold, the very short days and being so far east that the sun set earlier, even being in such a beautiful place, got depressing fast.) You have to enjoy as many the good summer days as possible. Especially with your children, they will grow up too fast. (But you know that!)

[@elyselaforest7700]

And yes to the bolts! I'll watch... May not paint, but I love your work.

I bought those quill brushes from Grabie awhile ago and love them! I think you need to take the summer off for the podcasts. You don’t want to burn out. Honestly I don’t understand how you get everything you do….done. Take care of yourself. ❤️💕
