I am 77 years. Since I met you, I am learning so much! I used to paint primarily with Dr Martins inks. Now you have encouraged me to try other kinds of mediums. Thanks! I am having a ball!
-
Thank you for being so welcoming and providing a pretentious free space!
-
Thank you Kristy, so important to say “art doesn’t have right to have a function.” This takes away the performance pressure so the painter can simply enjoy the process. 👩🏻🎨

Hi Kristy, I love your channel and your positive attitude! I am 61, and am just beginning sketching and since finding your channel, I'm getting started with watercolor. You are a natural born teacher and motivator . Thank you. 😊

I just love how positive energy you have! I just can't stop smiling on the way you talk to us. More power to you dear Kristy!

I love these. I'm working 6/10s and these fun exercises are perfect for spending a little time just relaxing at the end of the day

I absolutely love the scraping technique for backgrounds for pen & ink and also the gift tag idea!

Leaving with wonderment!!! - I felt even more inspired than ever. Thank you for this fun, quick, physical reminder that we are all creative. Imagine how many people try this and how many ga-zillions of different art forms are created. Thank you again Kristy.

This may be my favorite video yet! Opened my mind and allowed me to just "PLAY"!

Thanks, Kristy! So needed this after being thoroughly frustrated with my lack of skills yesterday.

Kristy! I loved this particular lesson because I was at a point where I was getting tired of painting my flowers I’ve only been painting since February. So I did the bouquet and I did the shapes and I had so much fun thank you

Kristy you are ssssooo inspirational and always giving excellent and important instruction! I’ve learned more from you in 2 months of following your channel that the 20 years I’ve been painting. Thank you so much for sharing your multi talents ❤

Thanks for this! This was fun! I’m new to watercolor. So anything will help me learn how to do this. 😊

Beginner here. Not to art but to watercolor. This is a gem. Loved it. Yay

Hi. Just found your channel and tbh I feel relieved because I'm new to watercolor painting and the fact that my first two paintings so far was good but eventually my next one turned mess into my eyes but when I watched some of your videos it changed with positivity and I see my latest painting now as "expressive" and "honest". Thank you for sharing your optimism. I will continue painting. 😊
-
