      Your painting book reminds me of my travel sketch book. I took a class on mindfulness and sketching when outdoors. I take my sketch book and pencils with me me when I travel. It helps calm my mind and be more present in the moment. I write little things on the page about the weather, sounds and place. I really enjoy it. My ADHD brain needs to shutdown and this helps. I love the idea of a painting book. Thank you for the inspiration!

      Yes Kinsley is such a cute poodle. I love her. I trained at Art School and designer's gouache was my medium for flower painting. You shouldn't really use white but use the colour of the flower and then for the paler areas let the paper show through. Gouache can be taken off and don't forget to blot it if needed. We used to use a blade to do the veins in leaves and the paint sinks into the lines. It's a good try though 👌😁🇬🇧

    Hi lovely. I used to work in event management for many years. Like you I put myself under immense pressure of everyone around me and their expectations. It took complete burnout for me to realise that no-one has you under any pressure but yourself. The reality is everyone has their own issues and problems and with the greatest respect, you putting out a video is just a lovely surprise any day. The pressure comes from you, not us, we got you either way. So take that break, have a breather, spend time with those around you. We'll be here regardless. xx

    TEST FOR LEAD PAINT! On the curio cabinet test that green spot to make sure it's not lead based paint. If it is you can still totally remove it and make a lovely cabinet but you need to use stripper and wet/dry sand paper (essentially don't create dust when removing it). It might not be lead paint but definitely good to check.

    I think the outdoor table between the loungers would likely have been a 1930’s laminated and French polished coffee table. The laminate is gone with the polish but it’s still got fabulous shape. Not likely to be teak as was an indoor piece of furniture and probably manufactured before teak was imported to industrial countries . Give it a good and generous feed of oil and wax to nourish and protect it and maybe a round of glass or marble on top to help with weather proofing. The pool area is looking fabulous

    The quality of paints varies considerably as does the paper in sketch books. Using water based paints requires heavier weight paper. Stillman and Birn Zeta sketchbooks would be perfect. Winsor and Newton gouache will give you great results. Using just primary colors and mixing will give you every color under the sun. Have fun😊

    I love your idea of filling your sketchbook with your garden! And to use a plate you love to make the process even more enjoyable. Porcelain really makes the best paint palette.
    You might already know this, but the paints from the sets you can rewet (also called “traditional gouache”), the tubes you bought separately are acrylic gouache, so you can’t rewet them once they are dry. Acrylic gouache are great for layering. Traditional gouache is great if you have leftover paint on your palette because you can rewet ant keep on using it.
    Love all your videos, they are always so inspiring!

Taking art lessons from your Mom would be ideal too but if you would like to see someone talk about art supplies and the process of painting, Sandi Hester is a good choice.

    What a delightful video! I love that you spent the day with Romeo doing yard sales and found so much. I don't think you're really capable of choosing something I wouldn't like! But that table with the slender, twisted legs! *swoon* Just too sweet! And I always think, when small tables have slender, "stork-y" legs and and small feet, that they look like they're standing in their tiptoes! Such a happy look.
    Great little, old painting, transferware mug, and that beautiful blue vase! Such a gorgeous color and an attractive shape. Quite a find for $1!! The pot would look great with orchids or some sort of bulbs planted in it. Maybe not orchids - now that I think of it, I think they prefer their roots to be deep... But it would look great with something tallish and upright planted in it.
    Can't wait to see the curio cabinet and what you do with it. Love the table you put out in the patio, but it definitely needs some tightening up of the joints. I'm not sure if it's teak, but it could definitely use some teak oil if it is!
    You made me smile in the way you set up for your outdoor painting session. I would have done it the same way - setting it all up to be a romantic vision of painting! Right down to the beautiful plate as your palette! The only thing missing was the big hat with the chiffon or ribbon that tied under the chin so it couldn't blow away! I believe setting the scene and the mood is important, especially when you start out - helps give you confidence and a sense of purpose. And just look what you accomplished! Your first painting is exquisite! And you were the absolute picture of tranquility and serenity. This new phase of your life - new home, settling in to CA, and planning for your family - is making you just glow!

    The side lamp table is very nice. The leg style is called barley twist. Love it.

    I’m not a painter but my weaving has the effect on me that you’re talking about. The planning is intense and involved (and mathematical like your building projects) and the weaving itself is relaxing, tactile and satisfying. I loved your first little painting and wish you great joy in doing this.

    I absolutely love your painting ❤ and the goal you set for learning something new! For small brushes, try out a liner brush, they give you so much control for small details. Painting a controlled line with one for me gives me the same satisfaction as a nice straight line with a Purdy brush on a wall.

    Hi, acrylic extender makes keeps the gouache wet longer helping a lot when mixing colors on the page to give dimension and effects, it makes it watery and easier to manage. From your sketch I think you do have natural talent, keep up your journal it’s going to be amazing

    Your art was so good!! I’m glad you are taking up a new hobby that involves something completely removed from the houses or renovating. I would imagine it feels more rejuvenating. I can’t wait to see future art projects!

    You might want to use some waterproof oil, like they use on decks for the little side table. It looks super dry & thirsty & being out in the elements. It's not going to last very long. It's allready super weathered. It's very cute though, just really needs a drink, it looks super thirsty.

    I would clearcoat the outdoor table, the patina is beautiful!

    Everyone's time line is different. Life has a funny way of handing things to us when we least expect it or when it's the right time.....not the PERFECT time...the right time. I am excited for you that you feel that this is your time and life is pointing you in the direction of parenthood. There is nothing quite like it. From one multitasker to another....this will be your biggest most rewarding undertaking yet. I look forward to your podcast.

    When you make that cabinet more ashy, DO NOT use oven cleaner! It was big a couple years ago in the furniture flipping community but it will off gas into your space. Definitely use wood bleach or just do a white wash! ❤️

    💙 The blue and white ceramic is called Delfts blue or Royal Delft from the city Delft in the Netherlands. The real stuff is made in the 17th century. If you ever come back to the Netherlands you should visit 😊
