I am so sorry for your loss Denise, Cricket was such a sweet girl. Gentle hugs and I will be here when you get back. Take your time, your mental health is #1 priority.

Oh Denise I know how hard it is to endure a kitten-shaped hole in your heart (they’re always kittens to me no matter how old they are…). Best wishes, be well and know that you are loved and supported by your fans.

[jartecus]

It’s always so difficult to say goodbye to our fluffy family, please take it slow and let yourself have space to grieve and heal. I’m sure you gave Cricket a wonderful long life🧡

[SpellboundArtstudio]

Love the video and the spread. I would love to see another edition with what I’m guessing is a bright orange lol.

That bright green is perfect for a lot of wildlife in Australia

The populations of feral parrots in Los Angeles and Bakersfield are due to natural disasters wiping out a couple of pet stores -- fire caused the store owner to release the birds rather than see them die cruelly, and a huge windstorm that de-roofed an aviary.

They're not actually a huge problem in these two urban areas. The species they compete with are abundant and well able to take care of themselves -- jays, woodpeckers, starlings, grackles, corvids. Hawks keep numbers under control.

The Bakersfield parrots have been established since the 70s and have created their own niche. They roost and nest in the shaggy palm trees and raid fruit trees which is a cute, noisy nuisance for gardeners but not an ecological disaster.

So sorry to hear about Cricket.

Yes do another one of these with orange!

Me just looking at this gorgeous art on your thumbnail:
“How can you not?!”

I’m so sorry for your loss Denise, saying goodbye to a beloved family member is never easy. Sending you Love, Hugs & Healing.

[AnnaBucciarelli]

Fascinating! The first thing that came to mind is tropical birds and only using it as an accent, maybe in some decorative applications. I have one spring green and maybe used it three times total 😅 never considered it as a mixer but now I will 💜 thank you!!!

[savannahwoods]

I love this video! You're entertaining and informative. Thank you for providing quality content for free.

[rebeccamontague]

I would find any "difficult" convenience colors to use videos helpful! I find Phthalo green difficult to use. I'm sorry for the loss of your sweet kitty. They are such an integral part of our lives and give so much love. 🙏

[chibijulie]

I love that green. I have a character with green hair that i use it for. Made my day when i discovered it and its variations in watercolor form agter trying to achieve it with coloring pencil for so long.

[meuikii]

So sorry to hear about your loss, please take all the time you need, loosing a pet is never easy. The spread was beautiful, and I never thought of all these ways to apply bright green to a painting! I’ll have to take notes for next time

[hannahthufvesson]

I'm so sorry about Cricket! It's such a painful loss. I still miss my two cats, they are family. Sending optional-to-accept hugs 🤍

And yes, would love to see the bright orange video! 😂 And also loved this one. I particularly like mixing spring green with a PR207 or PR209, love the hues! ☺️

[kimbailey]

So sorry to hear of Crickets passing...she was so cute! Take time to grieve...she will be missed in your videos...sending hugs from WV...🫂

[fuzzydragons]

my favourite greens, brighter the better 🥰🥰

[awatercolourist]

I love your the brush strokes and marks that you used on the parrot and the frog.

[hyukiru]

PY129 is just soooo beautiful and versetile! im so sorry for your loss, take care of yourself darling! <3

[jillwiswall]

My deepest condolences on your loss. May her memory truly be a blessing.

Thank you for posting this. I always yank that hue out of sets, so I have quite a few pans of it. And this gives me some great ideas for using them.
