These are gorgeous 💕 Would love to see more still life and landscapes!

[@jellyjamjo]

I think the art community is very centered around portraits and whether an art piece looks "good" or "bad." Measures in improvement are only shown in an outer perspective, measuring not the personal growth of the artist, but whether the subject looks "prettier." I'd also love to see more still life and backgrounds, and will continue to support you no matter what! Thank you for bringing such amazing videos.

I enjoyed watching you paint the still life and seeing how you placed the colors! I feel like your enjoyment showed through that painting the most. I think it would be lovely to see you paint some landscapes and still lifes more often! Especially since that is what you enjoy and are more interested in.:)

[@mjpete27]

Well I have always enjoyed your watercolors! I started painting with watercolors at 10 years old. I just turned 60 but I have worked with all types of mediums and every subject! I had a reasonably successful art career, well I paid my bills and have a house to live in. I would love to have a big fat bank account, but I am happy and that is no small thing! I use mostly DaVinci watercolor paints, but I have several brands and have used even more over the years. I encourage you to keep painting and just paint what you love and people will find you!

[@annamollers5853]

I love that you also show your painting processes that are in your opinion not perfect, I mean I love the first one here, but as you said you overworked it I could see what you mean in comparison to your other pieces, and I love that you show, that not every single painting is a major sucess and that its totally normal! Thank you! <3 Love your works here 😍

[@craftycrandall]

Wow the difference in these three pieces is astonishing! Great work showing the range--I really loved your still life and would love to see more content surrounding them! The dramatic lighting and contrast was really appealing. I have enough watercolor, so I'll leave the giveaway for everyone else, but thank you for sharing! :)

[@kimberlyjeffers1623]

loved the paintings. I love landscapes a whole lot. That's what I usually paint. And you're right, no, these are not favoured on social media at all. When your living depends on it and get that 100% so I understand all the portraits. Hopefully when you can afford to, I'd get to see how you paint landscapes on here. really loved the still life, gave me so much encouragement.

[@ursuladecay]

I actuallly really liked your still life you can tell you felt more free and was having more fun with it all 3 painting were really pretty!

[@danielleb.7055]

I wish you would be able to upload whatever you want/ paintings you want without worrying about if your viewers will enjoy it. We make art for ourselves and what makes us happy. I appreciate all of your paintings. Have a great day

[@rentensp]

I LOOOOOOVED watching you paint that still life HECKING WOW!

[@kayt986]

Wow your still life’s are absolutely captivating! I am normally not one to appreciate them, but you have created so much interest with your shape language!

[@softandcosy]

the thumbnail eyes are captivating !!

[@scribzscribbles]

Loved this video ❤️❤️❤️ your portraits and still life are absolutely gorgeous!

[@vividvulpe9842]

I’d love to see you do some still life studies with transparent and opaque paints 😉

I got this set and I loved it except the violet! I don’t know what it was but it was like it had a film on it that absorbed water but didn’t allow me to pick up any pigment? But it’s easy enough to switch it out for a pan of Windsor and newton violet or another brand. The sepia, burnt umber and burnt sienna were gummy and had chunks but what I did wrong was put a drop of water in each pan before I started painting and worked from that drop. If I just go in with a wet brush and wet the entire pan I have much better luck. I love the set, I love my 48 Paul Ruben’s set in the pink tin, the opera colors in the tube and the new layered colors are all awesome. So I tried to email Paul Ruben’s to get those 4 pans replaced and my email kept being returned saying that it couldn’t be sent that the email address didn’t exist. I know they have a team that works in the US market but it sucks I can’t get a hold of them. I wanted so badly to love that set. And I realize 50$ isn’t a ton of money for Artist grade sets but I still shouldn’t have to replace any pans if I paid $50. The rest of the colors were amazing. I just mixed this set with some from the 48 set I have and I usually use them in conjunction with my White Nights as they’re very similar. They’re great, I enjoy using them especially when I need watercolors that are controllable and I need them to behave and stay where I put them. I go for other brands for granulating colors.

love the still life piece.

[@ChandrewsArt]

The way you chisel in shapes for the watercolor still life was mesmerizing <3

[@manonguinchard5829]

I would honestly loooooove to see you paint landscapes !! ❤️❤️

[@Insidekimsworld]

I have heard so much about Paul Ruben’s watercolors. The colors look really vibrant and the tin…gorgeous. I must say that I really did like the still life painting. I would love to try something like that.

[@aysyalaladzhova1502]

Great pieces! ❤️ I would love to see more landscapes and still life paintings! ❤️ I would like to try these watercolors as I really like using this medium. I am also studying at the moment so I would really appreciate this set for my studies!
