I really love the way you guys banter. Back-and-forth, you're really must be in love because you're very gentle with each other. And Angela always laughs at Mark's jokes. When you can make each other laugh. That's a sign of a long, healthy marriage. Love this desert. ❤

Really lovely. Thank you, most of all, for all the wonderful tips you give along the way. It makes such a huge difference and I really appreciate it.

Upon seing your painting I will definitely choose it over the photograph. Everything looks softer & more beautiful.

❤❤❤Thank you for including the water container, the reference picture, the paint, even the napkin to clean your brush in all of your tutorials as I find it so helpful watching your painting process. I know I’m not the only one who appreciate this❤

Thank you for always considering the learning viewers as unfortunately not many YouTube Artist take the time to show the full painting process.

Your painting is prettier than the picture. ❤❤

I absolutely love the long tutorials. It takes time for the magic to happen. I am new at art and my biggest motto is "trust the process" because I always think my work looks so ugly half way through but with tutorials like this it reminds me this takes time and practice. Thanks so much your art work is beautiful and its definitely goals!

[carolynrains]

[margaridaduarte]

Much prettier than the photos. I love your paintings!

Greetings from Phx. I missed this Live since I was driving. Although I did listen to you. It looks wonderful, very realistic. I can't wait to watch. Thanks

[soulfulandnice]

[jeanastowell]

Love this painting. I’m going to give this one a try. Thank you for all your videos.

[leanncunningham]

Beautiful Angela!! I really want to try this one!! ♥️♥️♥️

[donnaburton]

So fun and pretty! I learned to paint in oils with a Bob Ross certified instructor and his wet on wet is definitely easier with oils. I did try the Golden Open and that wasn’t to bad on the wet on wet style.

Hello Angela! that's was amazing thank you, but I'm having a little trouble while mixing the colors the palate takes most of the acrylic paint and I'm left with a little paint on the brush!. Am I doing something wrong here?

[chivon]

Hi. DO YOU USE MOSTLY GOLDEN PAINT??? & SOME LIQUITEX???

[susanlivingston-oyhd]

Angela I watch your videos and paint several of your videos. Do you ever sell your paintings?
