Sarah, The spoon trick for paper tears works like a wonder. My edge of the Hisbiscus paper tore. Luckily for me you had given me an idea. I tried it with cold water and a heavy teaspoon. If I didn't know it had been tore, I wouldn't know where to find the tear. Hurrah! Great tip. Great teacher. Have a greaet day.

I love when you two film together. Hilarious!!

[GranC]

Sarah you are just so funny! Love the two of you. Thank you for sharing your talent!

[jessicaneff]

I loved the joke about the fly carrying a lot of things, like this conversation on its back 🤣

I can never get those lines for the petals to blend like you - so disappointing - but I will keep trying! 😅

[treesieallen]

Sarah, I LOVE this!
I always watch your video all the way through before I paint it myself - I can't wait to paint my version! Thank you for guiding this newbie painter!

[bonniecourtney]

I loved this...especially the narration of the whereabouts of John Stamus Fly. Crazy thing happened at the end of your bug fell out of my hair onto my painting. Not joking!!! Going to try this one again. Seems I always do better the second time around.

Dear sarah, I just want to say that the way you say hibiscus, is perfectly correct in my language, dutch/flemish... so when you think you pronounce a word incorrect, think that in another language it may be correct... so don't worry...
And plural, also nothing to worried. Al the fuss about is it Cactae or cactusses, both ate aloud in English language. Same for al those kind of words... so I use cactusses because I dont like the word cactae. And although it is a word that comes from Latin and in Latin the plural is cactae, it's a word that now is English, so that's why we also can use cactusses.
I love the hibiscus. Mine in my home is true vermillion. So beautiful. And the fun part is that the flowers come around xmass... when there aren't much flowers in our cold nature... thanks for the tutorial.

I love watching videos with Sarah and her husband, such a cute couple. Keenan and Jesse are just so cute and supportive of each other. But, Keenan and Sarah are just the best, they are amazing to watch together, just so much fun. John Stamos in General Hospital, telling my age.

[carolynnburbee]

I hope someone shares this with John Stamos. My new dream is to see him in a tutorial with Sarah and Keenan.

[dalenerowley]

Great project! I especially love the way you did the leaves. p.s. Keenan--I was as blown away to learn Wanda was Mary Kate and Ashley's sister as you were to learn that they weren't two different characters in Full House.

[Marialloga]

Love your vídeos!!!! Omg, This hibiscus looks soooo good! 🌺🌺🌺🌺

Welcome to the Sarah and Keenan Comedy Show. Very enjoyable.

Read on a Kindle. I look up words despite the fact that I know the meanings, but sometimes I’m not sure of the pronunciation. Also, it’s super easy to look up definitions!

[reneebanbury]

I really enjoyed this tutorial. I have Hibiscus in my yard & they are my favorite. Mine are red though. Thanks for sharing!

If i tear the paper i rub the area in circles with a smooth rock! Its awesome

[elliharris]

Just an idea I've used before in my bullet journal (not sure if works on this paper - I've used it on 120g paper). If you have an iPad, open the image on your iPad and turn the brightness ALLL the way up and there's your light box.

I have a vintage oil painting someone painted over white bobby flowers over pretty pale original pink hibiscus flowers I've scrapped of the white paint and have a faint pink flowers left I've got to fix my painting 🌺

[fenellamariejacob]

I need to know the word that Keenan used to describe the vehicle. I'm curious. Please!

[wendywestre]

Sarah.... you should add at the end of your tutorials the importance of SIGNING and dating your work... I've always wondered why you haven't....
