"No! On the paper"
Got me cracking😂

thanks for sharing!

[@khodarakhi7864]

Thanks for sharing.😊👌🏻

[@AbaseenPodcast]

I really think you should do a weekly life drawing stream. I don't think you need to make each session a "teaching session" , just a session with poses. We can always watch the original series if we need to refresh any concepts. I loved your life drawing sessions and I hope you will find the time to continue them.

[@treytonstokes7619]

Nice🙂

[@Hopexi]

Wish I could watch your video before I start to paint my first water paint. Somehow I imagined my superpower is painting... which is fail...I had hard edges.
I will try again tomorrow. Thank you so much for your great video and it is funny as well 🙂👍

[@materialgirl338]

I would like to know if you ever used neon water color? If so can you recommend bright water colors.

[@alicebrown-dussault3526]

[@thaslima8799]

Very niz bro tq

[@sultanatashfia8704]

Hello, great video. There's just one problem, I tried all of your blending procedures and none of them except force blending works. I don't know if I just am bad with watercolours but can someone tell me why this might be happening? I really want to improve.

[@georgemwangi2139]

Create a video how to draw a cactus

[@fernandogonzalez-bo4yt]
