Pink creates happiness. If you wear pink it makes you look younger and it puts a glow on your skin. Pink has always been my favorite color.

Pink is a very calming color. They've been known to paint prisons pink to help calm the inmates. Its popularity may be a reflection on the times were living in. I turn to your creative videos, they are a dose of peace and sanity. You probably have no idea all the multi-faceted good you do, praise God.

Hi, thank you so much for a very informative lesson, I found it fascinating as you used such beautiful pastel tones which I am addicted to, such a change from all the harsh colours most abstract painters use. I am just starting out exploring these techniques and I can't wait to watch more of your videos to try out. Keep up the good work. Diane Gloucestershire UK

Really pretty picture. I love pink and pink with black really makes the pink stand out.

Oh Denise. What I wouldn’t give…. Your talent and intuition know no bounds. 😍

[lornawilburn]

Lovely piece, so much fun watching and listening to your joy as you created it💕 I appreciate that you left the stray mark in the video and showed us how you “enhanced” the overall creation covering the mark up! The deckled edge was awesome! The tips on how to use the ripper to get the deckled edge finish were great. Thank you😍

I’m re watching your videos from the beginning whilst waiting for new ones. 
Denise this has to be one of my favourites. I love these colours, the way they formed with the water, the pretty natural mark making and the feeling of pure joy and love it brings 💗.
Interesting what you are saying about pink being the most viewed. These colours with the green are the colours of our heart centre, comforting to know it is the most viewed colour and how most are naturally drawn to it. I hope you framed this one and have it on your wall.
Beautiful 💗🙏🏻💗 😍🤗😘

Thanks for the rip edge ruler tip. Never knew they existed. Love your accent… eye-ball’n… love it 😅

[nancyclardy]

Thank you Denise!! Years ago I splurged on watercolor tubes and palettes and brushes and discovered I have no talent!😕 So all those beautiful supplies have been sitting and waiting for you. So grateful your videos have freed me up to PLAY with my paints. I just love your videos and the freedom to let go of expectations and the mirage of perfection or art in a "traditional" way. Love, love, love this! Hugs!

I am a hermit so art and coffee with Denise in the morning is perfect for me!!!
