  • Where have you been in my life of water coloring!? Im glad i have found you! You are so sweet and love the personality! 🌸 🍃 🎨 🖌
  • @littlefarm1229
    For thirty years I’ve been wetting my watercolor pans one drop at a time from a straw. In two seconds you just changed my work process. “Spray them down.” Thank you!
  • @Quebecusa
    Dear Kristy...Thank you for being you. Thank you for all the good ideas and demos. God bless !
  • I will soon be 78 and have been painting about a year. You have given me life and freedom and joy. Thank you.
  • Thank you for the reminder that we move the arm, not the wrist when making curls, I really enjoyed this video, and advice.
  • @mysticmay129
    I have to say I usually don't see so many talented artists on YouTube whose art I fully appreciate but yours is seriously amazing. Your pieces are very gorgeous <3
  • @jlm517rocks
    You point out what I miss sitting in plain sight...duh... kind reminders and intelligent demos...ty.

    Hi Kristy, I wanted to tell you that I am sitting here with my "line" brush and I am just making lines, getting a feel for how much water and paint I need. I have cheap everything, paint, brushes, and paper, but I just made a beautiful eucalyptus spray, that I am quite proud of, for being a beginner. I love your style and your encouragement. I took an acrylic painting class and drawing class in college, and I loved them both. I have always loved to draw, so it was fun. I wish I had taken painting 2, because it was watercolor. Watercolor is an adventure for me and I am so happy I found your channel. You make it seem simple, and you take the stress off of my perfectionism, if that makes sense. I appreciate that more than you will ever know. I hate that part of me, being a perfectionist, especially, in my artwork. I am my biggest critic. I told my son that I hated being a perfectionist and he asked me why...he then proceeded to tell me all the good things about being a perfectionist. I had never really thought of it as a good thing, it was always negative, to me. Anyway, I want to thank you and tell you how much I appreciate you. I went through many years of depression and I felt good over the last few years, but it started creeping up on me again, and you have given me a little hope, not just through the painting, but through your encouraging words. ❤️🤗❤️ Thank you!!!
  • @redheadlady2
    Thank you and God bless you for all sharing all your gifts and talents…you make me immediately want to grab my paint brush and make JoY 🤩
  • Thank you for all your tutorials. I absolutely love them and am so glad I found you!
  • This is so helpful!! I felt like I had flowers down to my liking but the leaves felt like i was stuck in elementary school. This was just what I needed.
  • I am a self taught artist Acrylics I have been terrified to try watercolor But your techniques and personality give me encouragement to try! Thanks!
  • @annhinson5670
    Love how you paint eucalyptus. You paint with such ease and your painting style is so pretty. Thank you.
  • @lynnec5258
    Brilliant! Use arm versus wrist for tendrils- magic!
  • You are an awesome artist teacher! So glad I found you! Beautiful work! Can't wait to try! Battling a leg Injury 10 stitches, Venous Stasis, etc. And Much more! Caretaking elderly parent but one day when I get time I pray I finally get to paint after many yrs ! Have Everything to paint with also acrylics tons of brushes must learn about types of watercolor paper though cause I never knew you must stretch it! But I do remember it buckles up 🤔
  • What a gorgeous, happy, informative video. So glad this came up as recommended for me.
