This is charming. I think there must be fairies in these woods. I'm looking forward to giving it a try.

trees are always difficult for me thanks for this video look forward to trying with the sponge

[triciabennetts]

Beautiful Wendy ❤️ Love all the different greens, the glow coming from behind the trees and love the loose look that the sponge gives to the tree foliage and the finishing touches with the white gouache. I do feel inspired to have a go 🙂

Thank you! Very relaxing to watch. I will try this one!

[myrtle]

This is super Wendy; I want to step inside the picture to explore what's behind those trees, to feel the sun on my face, and that cool, wet grass against my legs. I think you did a great job for someone claiming to be experimenting! Thank-you for sharing it with us.

I really enjoyed watching the video and love the finished painting

[molossergirl]

Very pretty, Wendy. I love the lost and found edges, a typical English woods in spring time with the fresh greens. I am going to try sponging, had a go once and it was a bit of a failure!! Thank you for this lovely demonstration. Greetings from Kent 😊
