Precious Thoughts!

This is so gorgeous I just had to try it. I'm a beginner so it didn't turn out like yours but I learned a lot in the process. I want to learn how to create the pastel and transparent effect you do. It's so ethereal and restful. Just watching your process in your videos with your lovely space has made me more intentional about creating a beautiful space for myself. Thank you.

This is so beautiful!! I love the layers and soft transparency of the colors, and the gold at the end. Wow. Just stunning! I just want to thank you, because with your videos you have inspired me to take my art to a whole new level. I have discovered gold and sparkle and shimmer, and it is amazing!! Thank you for sharing your knack for creating and appreciating beauty. You are truly an inspiration!

Such a lovely video of falling leaves! Thank you so much for presenting this for all levels of students; truly that is so very thoughtful, Thea! Giving hope and confidence to attain a level of joy in the process, is what art is all about! And you do this so well! I love all the more unusual colors of pigments that you used as also I am not so keen on what Fall colors are all about. Having said that, it is necessary to get beyond the comfort zone and that is unlocking many possibilities! Using a lot of water and a little pigment, gives your art a freeing spirit! I love the Primatek Mineral series, especially Sleeping Beauty and Kingman Turquoise, combined with Gold! Your Channel is a source of bliss! Sending creative energy and precious thoughts! And congratulations thea, In no time you will reach 2-3K!

Stunning work. I love it best when you show us videos of you painting your favourite subjects. I must say I did buy some gold ink on your recommendation and it's totally awesome. Thank you! ✨

Beautiful beautiful! You just keep coming up with new and wonderful ideas!! I am still learning so I don’t know what I might do on my own yet, but I have always been attracted to the transparent layering and of course gold so I think that you came up with the winner!! Yay, so this time (drumroll) the prize goes to you!💐💐💐💐

I really, really like this video and has inspired me to play with something very similar. Thank you.

I have been giving my granddaughter watercolor lessons, and this would be a fun activity to do with her next time. It is so lovely! I am glad you are going to do a video on the crests/borders. I have been wondering about them. They a your signature aspect of your art.

Beautiful piece!
The scenery is breathtaking and I love your garden, house and the squirels.
I looked up the gold nib but they charge 3 times the price of the nib to send them to Europe and I'm crazy, but not that crazy! So I setteld for some other nibs instead.

What kind of hydrangea is that in your yard? It is just gorgeous! Carmen
