Love the statement, "Express bravely." Don't just be a copy machine

Your sky looks dynamic and I can imagine the clouds sailing across the sky. Lovely. The cake reminds me of a Guernsey cow. Very cute. Thank you for your easygoing style Becky.

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you for your appreciation, Deborah! Yes, I agree that the cake looks like a cow too 😄

[@thatslifecaro1479]

for me hearing you say follow your feelings instead of being tight and trying to be accurate is the best advice i ever received. So liberating and joyful. Thank you :)

[@brandonbaty2291]

Thank you so much for this! I love your comforting advice. I NEEDED permission to express myself loosely. I struggle with crippling myself mentally trying to make everything look “perfect” or as accurate as possible and I am always admiring people who can just render things in their essence bravely.

Such an inspiration!! I just started my new sketchbook today . Thankyou so much xx

[@Hey_its_CeeTee]

I like how you describe your process in the voiceover. Lovely sketches! New subscriber

[@priyajoshi2323]

This is so so lovely, and thank you especially for walking us through the process, mentioning the colour mixtures etc- super helpful. And the point about easy decisions can be effective really hit home, it's something I'm consciously adding to my art these days, learning to simplify and stick to a clarity of what I want to portray and be more present with the subject. Comforting and helpful to see how well you've applied it and it truly shows in your delightful work ❤

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you so much for your appreciation, Priya! 😊 You have a very good understanding of what the creative process should be. I wish you all the best with your artistic journey.

[@priyajoshi2323]

@@BeckyCao Thank you so much ❤❤

[@EdithFrost]

I just love your art & your videos! Love to hear about your thought process and philosophies. And the tinkly piano background + your voice, it’s so calming. Like a good ASMR video but I’m actually learning something. ;-)

[@BeckyCao]

Thank you very much for your appreciation, Edith! ☺️

[@RockDove5212]

I love your sketches. Could you tell me what pen you use exactly please? x

[@BeckyCao]

I think I was using Etchr brand fine liner pens

[@annaisabeljordan1294]

you are so talented/ what pens and watercolors are you using.?

[@katekek4490]

Hi, can i ask when you do this, will it bleed onto next page ?

[@BeckyCao]

no, the paper is thick enough to stand many layers of washes.

[@loveandlife4222]

I would love to see you do some paintings with using very little sketching just using a soft pencil and then painting it with watercolor to shade and make it come alive. I paint like that which is different than this. Have you ever painted using mostly just watercolor for your painting? Or do you always use a marker for everything and just color the watercolor in?

[@BeckyCao]

In my early years studying drawing and painting in the studio, I always used pencil before painting watercolors. True, it has a soft effect that makes the painting more realistic. I will do that again soon. Thank you for the reminder.

[@janiesteiner203]

Hello.. what journal brand do you use? Your paper is not wavy or buckling as you add a wash.

[@BeckyCao]

Hi Janie, I’m using Arteza watercolor sketchbook, bought on Amazon Canada.
