So fun to watch your skill of blending. And what a delightful change of subject!

They are beautiful. I love your delicate touch to everything you paint. I am rather like a bull in a china shop. I will practice these pretty fish to see if I can tone down my bright, dark colors. I don't mean to be so bright and dark but it always comes out that way. LOL.

I own your book, Harriet, but I didn't make the connection between this channel here and your book until just now. :-) Love your style and content here.

I love your videos! I've learned many things. Although, I find watercolor painting so relaxing that sometimes it's hard not to feel sleepy while watching this tutorials, haha.

Although I love seeing you paint close up, at those times I miss seeing what you're doing with the brush outside of the frame! As a rank beginner it is helpful to see all of what you'e doing. Thanks for your artistry and fine motor skills!

Greetings from Malaysia. Your simple way of painting is quite encouraging. Although the end result may not be quite like yours. Please paint a peacock that is easy to follow.
