Why would anyone not watch the painting process part?? I think it's fascinating to watch your paintings come to life. Another great video, thank you for posting this. It's also nice to see a quick glimpse of what's going on on your palette.

I feel the Van Gogh in your painting. He's my favorite.

This is exactly what I needed in my life. I wasn’t sure how to use paint pens on my work and was growing frustrated with the outcome and waste of products. This is perfect, many thanks.

Going to use your demo with my 8th grade art class as we start acrylic painting on canvas paper. Thanks for a wonderful instruction without too much talking and stopping.

I love the way the wheels pop out when you highlight around the spokes. Looks like there are pieces of colored plastic built into the wheels. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Anastasia. Some great tips. I have bought paint pens but I had heard how paint pens can smear when you varnish, so I haven't used them yet. Therefore, your tip on spray varnishing first is much appreciated. By the way, I love your painting. Super gorgeous! 💓 Thanks again, Alison Hood from Western Australia 🥰💕
