Thanks Karen!! I had hoped to get this posted much sooner....that 'short season' did me in! ha!! Merry Christmas to you and your family!! 😀

Hope you enjoy it Deborah - these are a lot of fun!!

Thank you sooo much!! They are both a lot of fun, and together - even better!! 😀

Thank you!! 😀

Thanks Kathryn!! I think this is the most FUN version (with the least pressure) of a way of keeping this sort of thing!! I'm looking forward to having a few years go by and see what fills it up!! Should be interesting - lots to look forward to ...just a tiny bit at a time!! 😀

Thanks Janice!! I think I especially like it because of the 'no pressure mentality!" There's times when I have a LOT of time to do this ...and sometimes life just gets in the way!!! 😀

Wow, I'll have to go check out the new ones...How pretty. Yes, this nib is really nice (and I should use it more often!). I like the variable line you can get with it!!

@@roxannesteed4675 I did like that aspect of it when I tried the tester in the store. So it does seem very versatile. As far as the issues I mentioned, they told me the nip holders are coated so maybe it isn’t a problem after all?

@@vonettadevo I don't think it would be a problem. I'm only dipping the nib into the ink and not the wood handled holder. Even if it gets wet when I'm cleaning it...I'm not laying it in water to soak in there...so I think it will hold up a long time!! (years and years!!) I always try to take good care of my equipment..) 🙂

Thanks Deb! At some point soon I will - (after I get home from teaching in Italy)!!😄

Thanks Laura! I'm going to check that one out....I'm getting down to the wire before my next trip...and still looking for that 'holy grail' of a bag!! Thanks for suggesting this!

I was glad it was so easy to glue those half or whole pans in!!! "nobody has to get left behind"😂

Thanks Martha!! Yes, it's a longish one! Glad you found it helpful though! :-D Thanks for commenting!!

Thanks so much for your kind response!! 😀

Thanks Barbara! I'm so glad you found it helpful! If you ever have a watercolor topic you'd like some answers on, let me know!

Thanks for joining in!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed this, and hopefully found it helpful! If you run into any questions as you continue in your watercolor journey, you can drop them into any of the comments to my videos. I'm always looking for helpful topics to film!

Thank 😊 you very much!

YAY Rita!!! I'm so glad you tried it out!!! I had a blast trying out several different things..Anything that would make the paint a little bit opaque...even just adding titanium white gouache or watercolor paint to regular paint or the metallics, can make it really stand out on the black! Thanks for letting me know how much you enjoyed it!! 😀

Thanks Karen - and there's so many ways you can use it, too!!

Thanks Carol! I have to admit - it was a LOT of fun!! And fun in our class Facebook group to see what everyone did with these ideas!! 😀

Thanks Arlene!! And the nice thing is - there are so many variations of it, too!! (Perhaps I should make a short tutorial of those, too!!) 😀

oh gosh....thanks for letting me know about the link. I teach on Zoom, and have a new 6-week session starting next Tuesday.. here's a link to the class: www.roxannesteed.com/studio-classes-1 and now I'll go check the links within the paragraphs above!! Thank you!! 🙂 (and the class is $150 for a 6 week series).

@@roxannesteed4675 $150....ouch! I'll have to pass. Good luck with your class. I hope it goes well and everyone has fun.

@@violettahaven3706 (it's actually quite a bargain for the depth of material and scope of the class - each class is 3 hours long, so that breaks down to $25/class or a little over $8 an hour....not even minimum wage). None-the-less - timing may not be convenient.....keep painting - and enjoy exploring this wonderful medium!! Thanks for stopping by!! 😀

Thank you!

You are welcome!! 😀

Thank you so much Selina!! 😀

Thank you!! Flowers are the ultimate cheer-me-up!! :-D (well, besides coffee & chocolate chip cookies!)

Wow- thanks Arlene!! I'm a Lamy Safari fan, too!!! I love those things! Seems like any other pen (even if its good looking) is disappointing compared to the old reliable Safari! I haven't tried the Urban Sienna, but I've used the De Atramentis Document ink in Brown, Black, and orange. I even tried mixing some orange with the brown to get a more 'sienna' warm tone....it's okay, but I think I may explore more of their pre-mixed colors...and get another Lamy Safari from Goulet pens!!! (my favorite pen source). Once you're hooked, it's hard to go back to any other pen...but I do now and then just for experimentation sake...or for a class demo. Have fun painting with your friends, and tell them I said, "Hi"!! Ukraine is in my thoughts all the live-long day.

Thanks Sue! haha- I know that feeling of wanting to ink everything!!! It's so meditative...I seriously just love the feeling of sitting there lining everything in. I swear, it lowers my blood pressure leaves me feeling peaceful, yet happy and energized!

Aww- thank you so much - both Emily and Chang! I'm so happy you enjoyed the video. I hope you'll continue painting and sketching and that it brings you joy...and fun times together! Thanks for your kind words! 😀

You are very welcome Sue! I love talking about all things painting!! 😀

I know what you mean!! I did that for years up here in CT before a friend suggested this! This actually makes me look forward to doing these simple sketches, quickly...and painting back at home in my cozy place. It was like for the first time I didn't 'hate winter'!! ;-D Let me know if it works for you, too!!! Best wishes & happy painting!!

YAY!! Thanks for letting me know!! These angels are so much fun, and turn out a little different each time you do them! I hope you enjoy the process! I'm trying out some other designs that might be fun....little Christmas ornaments!!

Thanks so much Carolyn!! I'm so glad you're enjoying the videos! I'll be out of the studio for Thanksgiving weekend, but I do have so fun ideas to start filming next week! Thanks for the great ideas....and I'll see what I can come up with for the 'year of the rat' idea! Sending happy Thanksgiving wishes your way! :-D

Thank you so much Anita!! Italy sure has some wonderful views to behold!! - and lots of nice people too!! 😀

Thanks Kendall!! Yes - it's wonderful for artists at any point on their journey to be in community with each other. Even better if the scenery is inviting, too!! 😀

Welcome! No doubt!

Absolutely!! Those creepy ticks can crawl everywhere! blehc!!!!

Thanks Arlene!! The scenery is beautiful! Cities are wonderful & fun, but out in the countryside it's a landscape painters' dream! The people are so nice there, we did indeed have a fun & very memorable time!

Oops - thanks for letting me know!! I'm headed home following this workshop - I'll see if I can get this link repaired!! Much appreciation for the heads up!! 😀

Thanks so much Amanda! I'm just wrapping up a ten day workshop in Italy, and finally am happy with my packing & choices for travel!! I'll be sharing some more here AND on my blog about current travel situations & how to deal with health care issues overseas!!

Isn't it fun?!?!? 😀

I love those soft cover Stillman & Birn's! I haven't used a square format book yet, but I keep looking for one! I like the shape when they are opened! I think you should be good for a trip next year. I've had 4 friends just come back from travel over there, and aside from the paperwork to get there...they actually felt safer over there than in the US! I'm getting super-excited about my upcoming trip to Italy!! :-D

Hi again Arlene - I'm just wrapping up a ten day workshop in Italy, and finally am happy with my packing & choices for travel!! I'll be sharing some more here AND on my blog about current travel situations & how to deal with health care issues overseas!! (had an asthma attack & had to deal with it here...I have some new/good insights to share!!). You're going to love finally getting to travel again!! 😀

Hi Carol, Yes, I've got a blog article about my current favorites, and why I like them, with links to each item on Amazon: bit.ly/3zkxQ7z I also have a 'shop' page on my website that has a picture of each of these that has a direct link to purchase the items as well! www.roxannesteed.com/supplies Thanks for asking!

Super!!! So glad you found those clouds inspiring - they are super fun studies to do, don't take up much time or paper....and are just a great way to practice for fun!

Great!! Thanks so much!! That's what I"m aiming for!

Thanks so much!! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!! My favorite travel brushes I've had for several years now (and the labels are worn off of them). But they are the DaVinci Cosmotop, one in a size 6 & the other in a size 10. Those two are the most versatile and I could pretty much rely on them ALL the time!! A few years ago I added a size 8 to the trio, it's hair is a little different - (supposedly closer to sable, even though it's a synthetic hair- and I like that, too). I also have a small Silver Brush brand, but the hair doesn't have enough 'snap' for my liking. It's okay, some folks love them. I recently got an Escoda Versatil in a size 12 that I'm going to be trying out en plein air. I have another one of their brushes I use in my studio that I like a lot. Carries a lot a liquid, but is a really nice synthetic. I have some of these listed in my online store if you'd like to have a look: www.roxannesteed.com/supplies

You're welcome Eileen! Yes, those little creepy things are very small! Sometimes they can appear like a small mole on your skin. (sends shivers up my spine just thinking about them and all the trouble they can cause!! Hope you don't run in to any!! But the lint roller thing really helps!!

You are welcome!! So glad you found it helpful! :-)
