I'm looking forward to watching this in the next couple days while I paint! Normally, I wouldn't watch 3 hour lives, but I love your channel and could watch you paint pet portraits all day! Can't wait. What a treat!
Very nice Ashley! I missed the very first but then finished out the live watching you paint. I too watercolor and it was very nice watching someone who actually knows how to watercolor and then to have you share your techniques with us. I do know (as I’m sure you do too) that when it comes right down to it, it’s a matter of instinct and having a good eye. Knowing where to highlight and where to darken. It’s subjective how to ruffle it up or paint it smooth. There are hundreds of little decisions that the artist makes that are instinctual. You have very good instinct and I really enjoyed watching you paint. Nice job! I really enjoyed watching a good watercolor artist!
Thank you so much, I appreciate you being here and taking the time to comment! Your words are very wise! You are absolutely right, it is a matter of instinct, and those instincts develop over time and experience! I see so many folks who deeply WANT to paint but are afraid so they just binge other artists on UA-cam, and while it is a great resource, we have to actually FEEL what it's like to paint to be able to cultivate that intuition!
Ashley, please don’t listen to the naysayers! You do not have to edit a single thing and your videos are INVALUABLE!!! Please keep doing what you’re doing! You will be at a million subs before you know it, just being you!!!
Of course! I use a webcam called ElGato Facecam that sits on top of my computer screen to show my face. My computer (imac mini) connects my phone as my overhead camera. Then I bring it all together with the program OBS Studio, which is totally free and awesome. Just takes a bit to learn all the whistles and bells. I’m still a newbie myself. You start a stream on UA-cam, then go to OBS Studio and connect it.
Thank you for again a wonderfull lesson

Thank you!! 😊
I love it. Question….you said you will cut it off the board tomorrow…why don’t you pull the tape off, or is it the gummed tape. TIA
Exactly! It is gummed paper tape and has to be cut off:)
Can you share with me how you do your lives with your camera, phone and computer?

Thanks so much! I don’t have any subscriptions yet so I can’t stream, but I am excited to make some videos!
