Oh my gosh I saw it too! I see things like that everywhere.. like yesterday i saw a life size camel with humps and everything in a pile of snow lol! 😃 (I live in Alaska) It's called "Pareidolia" in technical terms, but I Love seeing faces and things like that.. glad I'm not the only one!😁 It seems like it happens to creative people much more often.. ❤
My first of your videos. So much to appreciate! Love your teaching style, no fluff just straight to the task at hand. Very clear, a nice brisk pace. Thank you for sharing your talent.

Very nice; I like the sharp stick work! But please, everyone: I know birches are popular (have painted them myself) but do keep in mid that the black patches (usually branch scars) don't just occur on the edges of the trunk, but all over it!

This reminds me of the birches in Maine. ❤❤❤ this painting and your technique. I can’t wait to try on my next painting and following your tutorial. Thank you so much for doing this because I can’t speak others but just for myself. I’m disabled and am on a very limited fixed income. I can’t afford art lessons and I love watercolor. I’m not very good at this time. There is a lot of room to improve and learn. You and artist like you who care enough to share your talent, your passion, your skill, your techniques, tips and tricks really help people like me. Thank you so much.❤❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much Karen. I followed along and it is my best painting yet. You are a wonderful teacher. I like how you "fiddle" and then finally spatter to stop yourself from overworking the painting! I actually learn a lot from how you fiddle to improve things.

I think you are very talented. I’m just getting back into painting after around thirty years and I must say I’ve lost a lot of my abilities now that I’m older with arthritis. Don’t have a very steady hand anymore either. I however am determined to get it back.
Thank you for this video! It not only taught me how to paint birch trees, but had me creating my best work so far. It's the first one I'm truly proud of!
Love the way you teach. You make it so interesting and you bring it to life. You make it look so easy. I could listen to you all day. So good! Thank you.❤❤❤
