Thank you soooo much for such a lovely tutorial! This was just what I needed. The way you explain your paintings is always so helpful. Simple yet breathtaking :)

Your skin is so beautiful and glowing!

Great instruction! Thank you for discussing how wet or dry an area is and moving about. I have an issue with patience in drying or how dry and adding pigment and/or water. Also, thank you for showing which brush, blending on ur palette and when you clean ur brush. Those nuances really help!! 💜

You’re brilliant! Thank you for sharing your talent, time, and advice. I’m a beginner still, but your videos give me confidence to keep practicing.

Well, just made my first painting ever. You almost had me believe it was going to be easy😅 thank you for this lovely tutorial
I wish we could upload photos here to show you our results :)

That’s just lovely. The low lights add so much to the painting. Thank you so much.

Wonderful instruction! Lilacs are a favorite memory.

The glass jar is what I needed to learn. I stink at florals but these look much softer and simpler. Might try them. Thank you Harriet.

One of the best tutorials I've watched in a while. You are an excellent instructor!

So beautifully done. This was my mother's favorite flower. I am going to try this in memory of her. Love your channel!
