@@ColoringIntrovert yes! I've heard so much about Arches, I can't wait to try it!

@@ColoringIntrovert it can feel like both a blessing and a curse at times. 😅 But I love it and can't help it. 🤷‍♀️

@@AleksdeArt Thank you! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. 💖🥳

Thank you for sharing! And for watching! I should use my hair dryer for that since I don't use it for my hair much. 🤣

Awww, thank you for watching! I'm excited to follow your journey!

@@ljclauson Thank you! I hope you enjoy trying them throughout the new year!

@@WatercolorKari yes, I love them so much...I had to share! Thank you and enjoy your outting!

@panoramicviolinist thank you for watching...also I just subscribed. Your channel looks amazing. I love violin! My nieces play, but I've never tried it.

Ohh, yes! Andrea Nelson is one I had in mind for a future video of recommendations, but I don't think I've heard of the others! Can't wait to see their work. 🥰💚 Thank you!

@@OurGrayHouse ok, I'm loving Audrey Shantz so far! Thanks again.

@@JessicaFranco1 you are so sweet! I'd love to see how yours go if you want to share on IG. 😊 You might be surprised! I some ways it's easy to improve on someone else's because you won't make my mistakes. 🤣😅

@@faheemzairy100sure, you can message me on IG

Whats the insta id?

@faheemzairy100 @watercolorwithmegan

Well, I suppose if you're just passing through or staying for a short visit, you won't have time for coffee. But at least honk when driving through and let me know you honked! 🙋‍♀

@@WatercolorKari 😂 well, if you're serious email me (I think I have it listed in my profile?) because we might be able to make something fun happen this summer while we're moving! I think I'll have some flexibility since my husband and I will each be driving a separate car. That would be so fun! 🤩

@@WatercolorKari whoa, that was fast! Yay! 😍🐦

@@AleksdeArt thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

Yes! I finally ordered a book from your video link today. I was like, What am I waiting for? 🤣 At least it was only $11. 😅 But I get most books free from the library, so that's how I justify buying more expensive books. 😂

@@WatercolorwithMegan Which one did you get?! I'm literally in Amazon right now. I clicked your Birds link, and in the "Customers also bought" section, there's a book called, "The Field Guide to Dumb Birds of North America.". Gosh, I'm tempted. 🤔But I think I'll just stick with your recommendation. 😂 (I tried our library, and sadly, there's not much there in the way of art books. I should check other libraries in the area.)

I just bought the one you suggested. I think I should stop watching artists' book recommendation videos for a while. Or I could just tell my husband he got it for me for Christmas. If he says anything about my recent purchases, I'll tell him he's the best and always gets me exactly what I want. 🤭

@WatercolorKari I got Everyday Matters! It just sounded so good. 🥰 And yeah, I just get novels from the library mostly. I'm planning to send the Bird book to my aunt after I finish it. But it made me think of at least 3 other people I know love birds 🐦

@@WatercolorKari 🤣 Yes, just keep a list ready for Valentine's Day, your birthday, anniversary, mother's day. 🙌😅

@@WatercolorKari ohhh, yay! I was hoping someone would be interested. I've been wanting to share them for a while! 😍📚

@@WatercolorKari 😍 It was so fun! We took lessons while we were dating and had the BEST instructor! So I was just going to post a picture from that wedding until I saw the video. I just had to include it! Especially since one of my guiding principles is to share my story through my art. I was going to cut so much from this video. 😅 But I was like, wait...the stories are part of why I'm here! Of course I'll still do short videos, too, though.

@@WatercolorKari 🤣 I can't wait to hear how it goes! That is a bummer, but maybe by the time you finally get a 100% Cotton one, you'll be a pro with sketchbooks...or at least less intimidated. I kind of want to dedicate a sketchbook to a specific project, but I wonder if that will just be inconvenient. Then I'd have to make sure I have the right sketchbook and only paint that subject/topic there even if I'm in the mood to paint something else. Hmm...

I've heard that from lots of people! I can definitely see that more after this test. I still appreciate inexpensive paper for quick sketches to help me know if I want to spend the time painting a larger version and to get an idea of what I'd do and what I'd change next time. But for pictures I know I want to frame, I plan to go for better paper now!

True

@@AleksdeArt Thank you! Let me if you ever have ideas for video topics you'd like me to cover. 😊

@@WatercolorKari 😭 well, you know the feeling is mutual! I think mentioning that is part of what had me nervous. I didn't want to seem too braggy, especially if my channel engagement slows down a lot or something. 🤷‍♀️ But this is the type of stuff that's on my mind when it comes to art, and I appreciate when others share their behind-the-scenes struggles and what works for them.

@@WatercolorKari awww, you are a big help for me to keep going with this channel. For some reason I really panicked internally after posting this one. 😅 I don't know if I felt like it's too personal or too clickbait-y or like people would attack me for it. It really don't have a clear reason why I got so nervous about it suddenly. I refused to check my analytics to see if people were watching. And I don't even know why. 😅 But having a positive comment that it helped YOU makes all the rest not matter so much. So thank you! And I can't wait to see how it goes for you. I might have to check out the book you mentioned! Haven't heard of that one. 😃

@@WatercolorwithMegan Also, I have a video that will be going up on Saturday that I'm nervous about. It feels very self-serving. Ack! Hahaaaaa, I need to realize I'm trying to make my creations into a business and get over the fear of self-promoting, as long as I'm not overdoing it. Gosh, how weird. 😂

@WatercolorKari 😂 yes! I guess I could understand if the video wasn't what they expected from the title/thumbnail, but yours are so clear. 🤷‍♀️ Or maybe it's because some people prefer music instead of commentary. But don't stop your commentary! I love it! 😂I mean, of course take a break from it if you need to. 🤣 Mine get thumbs down sometimes, too, but I have learned from Amazon reviews that people have different ways of rating things or reasons for doing what they do. 🤷‍♀️

@WatercolorKari oh, for sure! I know that feeling. I hate promoting my book...even though it has helped so many people! Also, not fair that you're telling me about a video that I have to wait almost a week to see! 🤣 Just kidding. But I do feel like I'm begging when I promote stuff. 😅 That's part of why I'm not ready for it with my art yet. But I'm impressed with other artists who do it. And not annoyed by it. I want them and their art to succeed and continue to be shared!

@@WatercolorwithMegan I know what you're sayin'. I'd just neverrrrr put a thumbs down on someone's creation. If I didn't like it, I'd just move on. Haha, laughing at myself because I knooow this isn't a big deal. I mean, if I had a political channel or something controversial, thumbs downs are understandable. Hahaaaaa, okay, I'll stop now. 😂

@@amybair3205 Thank you for sharing! That's such a good point. I'm definitely on the side of using higher quality stuff now that I'm not as much of a newbie just trying to figure out if I like it and how to paint with watercolor. I'm excited to try more quality supplies!

I used cotman at first. Better than artists grade gumbacjers but not very saturated ir not best?

@isabeedemski3635 ohh, what do you use now? And how do you like them? I'm actually looking into buying my first professional paints now.

Right? Paper especially! Paint seems to last forever, but there are so many nifty things to try with art. 😍🩷🥰🖌️🎨🖼️ What month were you born?

​@@WatercolorwithMeganJune! 🎉

Nice! Good to know there's a noticeable difference. And that's so funny about the Arches paper. Wow! Time to paint those old sketches 🤣

I think so too! I was curious, but then actually doing it was even better and more helpful than I imagined. Glad I'm not the only one who found it interesting!

Aww, thank you so much! It's fun and relaxing.

@@OurGrayHouse thank you! Can't wait to watch more of your videos! 😍🖌️🖼️🎨

@@barbaram.6220 yes! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. It's always fun seeing who views these videos. Now I'm starting to enjoy larger paintings so I can fit more details but I still love my small ones for so much!

😂 Which one did you prefer? Or could you tell which one was most expensive?

It's really interesting to see the difference the paper makes, even with cheap paint. You can really see that the cheaper paper doesn't absorb the water properly, so the paint and water sit at the surface and dry in puddles, which makes the end result look blotchy. I can also tell by the end result that you had more control over the treeline shadows in the background of the most expensive paper. That's the thing with good paper isn't it...once you try it, you can never go back 😅

@restingglitchface2589 yes! I'm glad for the cheap paper because it got me started and helped me fall in love with watercolor. I don't think I would have tried it or used it as much if I had to spend $75+ to get started. But now I also don't feel the need to buy that inexpensive paper again.

I'm the same...I love textured paper! I did hear someone else recently say that hot pressed is good for scanning prints, too, which makes sense. Then you don't see the texture in the picture but can print it on textured paper. And yes, I love the camping tent emoji! 🤩

@@WatercolorKari also funny about my shirt since we both mostly like wearing neutral colors. And I still have lots more people I'm wanting to give a shout out to. Just takes a while!

Thank you! Hope it helps and gets more people to try it especially earlier in their art journey. 🎨🖼️🖌️🩷

@@suec1521 same! I love that. And so do the people who receive them. 🥰

@@WatercolorKari ohh, thank you! I'll see what that looks like. 🥰 Glad I have some extra cards! 😊

@WatercolorwithMegan 🥰🎄

@@AleksdeArt Thank you so much! I'm already excited about my next one 😁🥳🙌🤩🖼️

@@Zitronenkojote It makes such a big difference! I still use it even though I'm starting to experiment with larger paintings again now that I've been doing watercolor for a while. Hope you enjoy giving it a try!

@@azianabdaziz9968 Thank you! Hope it helps make painting even more fun for you! 🎨🖼️🖌️
