I think Rebecca has an undeserved troll that dislikes every video she uploads. To dedicate time to vindictively dislike every video a person produces is petty, a waste of time, and says more about their character than the content of the video. Time and time again, Rebecca produces educational content that is a feast for the eyes and warms the soul; most importantly, she so very pleasant. Wonderful presentation Rebecca!
Hi Sue, I can't block these people unfortunately as I don't know who they are. I can only block people who leave nasty comments as their name is beside the comment. I've blocked people in the past who either leave nasty comments, deliberately disagree just to be awkward, ramble on and on about things they say I should have said or done in the video. I find these people who attack me verbally have usually always missed the point of the video or they just haven't listened to what I said. I have to block these people from commenting as they stress me out. I've even had a couple of spats with these people in the past and it won't take them long to work out that they've been blocked, so it's most likely them who are clicking dislike, but I'd rather that than have to constantly explain to them how they missed the point of the video. Sorry to ramble, lol, I just felt the need to explain the most likely scenario of why I get dislikes on my videos.
The Art Spirits Whatever their reason, they are bang out of order. You most certainly don’t deserve it. Your videos are great. It’s like sitting in your room with you having a chat and a cup of tea.
Another great video Rebecca. The music reminded me of the music they played in the really old cartoons. Like some of the first Micky Mouse cartoon. The painting looks great. TFS
Good review of an nice book. I have this book, and have done several of the pages. The paper itself is highly textured, so not pleasant to use for colored pencils (except watercolor pencils), if using watercolor, be mindful of how much water you use, as the paper isn't a 'high quality' paper such as Arches. The illustrations are beautiful and the reference picture is actually large enough to be useful (not always the case). I like to transfer the drawing to good watercolor paper or good drawing paper.
Have you ever seen Dana Fox's Watercolour with Me in the Forest? It's the same style of watercolour book where there are sketches in the book and tutorials on how to paint each one. There are dozens of them using various techniques and I love it! Just a suggestion, if you enjoy this style of book. I'm seriously considering getting this one! Great review, thank you.
Brilliant! This book looks great. I've ordered a copy already and probably will get a second one (after I check it out in depth) so that I can ink the outlines and then use a light box to trace onto Arches. I adore the gourd that you did for the demo - I would never have guessed that it was as relatively easy to paint as it appears in your demo. I also got the Dana Fox book - really hope there continue to be books like this available. Are you familiar with the Kristy Rice books?
Hi Tracy, yes, I have 4 of the Kristy Rice books, they are gorgeous books. I have the problem of buying too many books though so I don't get time to paint in them all, unfortunately, lol. 🙄🎨
I really enjoyed this video, it's a lovely book now on my wish list even though I'm terrible at watercolour painting. Do you think it would work for coloured pencils? I loved watching you do the painting it really helped to see the technique of how you built up the colour layers and texture. I don't know if you would consider it but I'd love to see videos of you doing all the other paintings. Thanks for such a great review.
Yes, I'm sure you could also complete these in coloured pencil too. It would probably be best with pencils that layer well. I might do more of these in the future for a video as it was really enjoyable 🎨👍
I ordered this book, but I wasn’t happy with it at all. The paper is horrible imho. I couldn’t layer the paint at all...it would lift the previous layer as soon as I tried...no matter how careful I was. I had such high hopes for it...the concept is awesome.
Great Britain has so many wonderful public gardens and public transportation to get about. Do you ever visit any of them? I know I would want to so I could paint from life.
I don't Bev, hardly ever go anywhere to be honest. I'm a house mouse, unfortunately. I did go to Kensington Gardens in the summer while on a short trip to London. I should have tried to paint something there but didn't think of it at the time.
I know this is forever ago but do you have the blue and black brush name? I tried to pause and read it but the signature was unreadable for me. 😂 Since I couldn't find it in the description I decided to just ask. I saw it said sable round so I was hoping it would be just what I was looking for
Hi, sorry for the late reply. I only just saw your comment. It's an Aquafine Sable Round. I can't actually find it to see what size it is but it looks like a no3 or no4. I do usually buy 3's and 4's. Hope that helps 😀
LOL.....you sure have a diehard dislike fan out there. 36 view in 16 mins of this video being uploaded and yet already there is one dislike. This is amazing. By the way that is a beautiful piece of work. :D
Enviotonin85 Yes, I noticed that too. There's really no excuse for it. Chris Cheng also has a few dedicated thumbs down trolls. Her fans fought back big time. There's absolutely nothing to dislike about this lovely and very informative video.
Well.....we Chinese always have a very good saying, love till hate and hate till love. So pressing dislike might be their way to show their like. LOL.....

Yes, it's annoying to us viewing, it must be very annoying to you. Can you block it Rebecca?
TheFabulousIdiot, Wow, thanks so much for the support, it means a lot 👍

Aww thanks so much, Sue. I appreciate the support, it means a lot 👍🙂
Such an amazing video! I love how this vegetable gains more and more volume as you paint.
Thank you for this book review. It's really useful and I think your painting turned out pretty great!
Ooh good, faint outline drawings! I don’t like thick black lines 😎
Another great video Rebecca. The music reminded me of the music they played in the really old cartoons. Like some of the first Micky Mouse cartoon. The painting looks great. TFS
Haha, yes, me too, lol.
This looks totally amazing and well worth buying, and your picture looks just as impressive as the one in the book!
Thanks so much, Eleanor, yes, it's a gorgeous book. 😁👍
Awesome piece of art! I love the music, so happy!!
A very beautiful painting and a wonderful book!
Thanks for sharing! You make it look so easy. Quite a relaxing time watching your painting and the music was fitting too.🤗
Looks great Rebecca!!
Your gourd came out beautifully. Just like the printed version. It was so interesting to see the buildup of texture happening.
thanks sooo much :) so lovely - I really enjoy your channel

That is awesome Rebecca , and just as good as the book !!! bet it made your toes curl tearing that page out :0) cool music :0) :0)
kjdesignbyKaren Your comment is so funny! You sound just like me!😊
Haha I could feel the tension as Rebecca was pulling it out :0)
Haha, yes, it was a tense moment. 😂

Very good review. Was the provided paper cold or hot press. (The bird book is hot press, very smooth, which I do not care for.)

Im guessing the paper is hot press (very smooth) like the companion bird book. I do not like hot press at all.

I'm back! You REALLY have to tell me what the hilarious music is called!😊
Haha, I'm guessing you mean that last song. Cute, isn't it. It's called The Premier by Kevin Mcleod 😍😹
Feels like 1908 Music Hall music. I can see them running around in stripy bathing suits making people laugh to this tune.
LOL.....you sure have a diehard dislike fan out there. 36 view in 16 mins of this video being uploaded and yet already there is one dislike. This is amazing. By the way that is a beautiful piece of work. :D
Probably one of my many enemies, lol.
LOL....you sure have some very complex love, hate affairs here on youtube. :P
Yes, probably because my videos are so offensive 😹😹😹
