Thank you so much! I went in to talk to my husband earlier today and told him I was going to stop trying to watercolor. I didn’t have the talent, blah, blah, blah... He convinced me to just relax and play, and then I found this tutorial! This was sooo much fun!!! I sent a pic of what I painted to my daughter and now she wants one! Thanks for bringing the joy back for me! You are a blessing!

I’m sorry for your loss. I hope painting brings you some peace and relaxation. I took art as a major in my first two years of college because I didn’t know what to do yet. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever done and a very naive commitment. I’m too much of a perfectionist to just let it flow. Now I sit here during quarantine with twenty year old watercolors that need to be used.

@Marlene Vincent So sorry to hear you lost your sweetheart and that your mother wasn't more supportive of your art. Not that you need permission, but I surely hope you've bought plenty of art supplies and are now painting whenever you want. It's never too late to have a go and as you said---"It is time for me". I really wish CeeCee would have responded to your comment with some words of encouragement, but you'll notice she doesn't take the time to respond to many people at all under any of the video's she posts. Sadly, too often we don't always get a second chance with a missed opportunity. I hope you are well, Cheers Marlene!
