Thankyou Diane I do appreciate all your videos and find them inspiring for producing my charity cards.

Great tip for creating those diaphanous wings, thanks, Diane. I keep practising - still haven’t quite achieved your delicacy of touch, though.
Loved it but wish you had shown the top of the bees wings.
Thank you for letting us see you paint without talking!
Lovely but unfortunately I couldn't see anything of the pencil outline as it just did not show up on my screen
Love it. He just needs his little pollen knees.
A beautiful painting.
😊you are a blessing to my life agreat artist
Thank you so much Tacy, that’s so kind of you and I’m so glad.
4:09 - in the bottom of the bee, in the low part of the black, you see a FACE staring at you.
Once you see it, you can't unsee it, haha...
So nice of you, glad you enjoyed it!
So cute! A bumblebee is how I originally found your channel by clicking on a hashtag 🐝. We get lots of bumblebees on our lavender, sage and butterfly bush. They sure do love purple 💜.
Awesome! Thank you!
You can't imagine how much you inspire me! Painting has been a huge blessing in my life and the way you approach it helps me tremendously! Thank you so very much for sharing your joy!❤

Thank you so much! Happy birthday to your friend xxx
I need to get to my studio and do some painting, but I'm so enjoying your channel and all the content it's difficult to break away (she smiles). With the fall upon now, and the temperatures a little cooler in this part of the U.S. bumblers are busy collecting and sowing. We don't have a long cold season. In fact our spring begins in March!
I'm so glad! Have fun!
Such a perfect bee!!!!!
I just found you yesterday, and I'm so glad I did! Do you offer online classes or have a patreon account?
Hi Nicole, lovely to have you on board and am also very glad you found me! I am working on a way to offer structured help online, not sure whether to go with Patreon - have you any experience of using it as a learner? I’d be happy to hear any advice you might have from the perspective of a subscriber x
I've only had experience with websites like Lindsay Weirich has. I know that many artists use patreon.
Love your videos. Thank you. ❤️
Thanks Barbara, welcome on board!😍
Can I be a good painter if I'll give 30mins daily?
Hi, thanks for your interest in my channel! With regard to your question about how long it takes to become a good painter, that is a very good question indeed, with a very long answer and a very short answer. The answer you prefer will be up to you to choose. First of all you must define what you mean by “a good painter.” If that means someone who is expert at painting every possible subject on the planet in a photo-realistic way that is very different from being someone who occasionally produces a pretty or thought provoking painting which they are happy with. In other words, I don’t think you can define “a good painter.” Therefore, you can, theoretically become “a good painter” with 30 minutes a day practice as with no real definition it is up to you whether you fulfil the criteria or not. Now, all that said, on the other hand, I personally have had many years experience of painting and yet I still consider myself to be a student of art. I don’t believe that anyone ever learns all there is to know, about any subject, let alone art. What is your goal? Do you want to paint realistic portraits, or to illustrate a bullet journal, or something inbetween? If you want to do illustrative art, half an hour a day would certainly give you learning time. But to become skilled in a high level painting field you need a lot more than 30 minutes a day. You also need the right equipment and the right teacher. Luckily for you, you have hit upon UA-cam as a way of developing your art skills. I wish you much success.
Thank you for your reply 😄. And, I'm sorry to use the wrong word "good". But, what I mean is that the painter who's able to make a good diagram 😂. As being an engineering student, I wanted to develop this skill.
