    Hi! I am sooo happy to have run across this video of yours! I am 82 years young, new watercolor person, been discouraged lately & your video got me back to my painting area today. A big thank you i Love this method. I did the 1st one & am going to do the 2nd one after dinner. Love it & i am back thanks to you. I am letting my little girl inside PLAY once again! And this is coming from a perfectionist! I sooo needed this!😊
