    1. I’ll be watching this several times, with and without painting along.
    2. Each time I thought the painting was beautiful and finished, you ramped it up and it was even better!
    3. My palette is very bright. I know how to bring it down, but I appreciate your saying which colors to mix. New ideas for me.
    4. I have a pothos that looks as if it has been spattered with white. The skipping some places as you press drag and lift will be fun to try.
    Thank you!

    The dagger brush - it looks so easy. I've watched many of your videos and "Press, drag, and lift" wasn't working for me. But in this video a few minutes in you mentioned that you twisted the brush right before lifting, so for me I say, "Press, drag, twist, and lift," and that helps me get the 'twist' in near the end of the lift. Kristy, I love your videos and am learning a lot.

    Hi, Kristi, great lesson! Just received your brush collection yesterday! Excited! Health Note: Your palette paints used here are claimed to be vegan. That's great. However, did you know that Polyethylene Glycol is a petrochemical byproduct? Comes from oil refining, and MANY people are allergic to it and don't know it. It cases eczema, psoriasis, breathing problems, and in some causes, anaphylactic shock. Now, the amount in the paints is likely VERY small. Yet, I wanted to make you aware of this. Happy painting!
