    I am a artist. Watercolor. I had covid encephalitis July 4th was in a coma for 3 weeks!!!
    When I was recovering I discovered all my skills were gone. I'm 73 and live in Lexington nursing home. My husband of 45 years has brought all my supplies here. He just purchased your brushes. I'm doing exercises and watching your tutorials!!! It's a long haul but I'm regaining my skills. The facility have requested a painting and I'm unsure if I'm up to the task. When we can afford it I want your books. Keep up your great work it helps me and gives me hope!!!

    I’m new … VERY new to watercolor paining. In fact I just started painting about a month ago. while I am trying not to “copy” you, it really does help to watch, sketch and paint what you’re painting. I think I’ll get better at doing my own thing more and more as I go along. But, I did an intial painting, then decided it warranted a new attempt or do-over. :) so exciting. :) I feel the second one was so much better! Thank you for fhe inspiration!

    You are the queen of the brush! 🥰
    These are the kinds of paintings I adore and would like to work on trying!
    I like the realistic-ish part the super photo realism is just too much for me but I could really get into this by the time you were at the end I was in such a meditative state just watching the stroke of your brush!😍
    I could definitely see myself spending an hour per petal!
    And having so much JOY the entire time! Stunningly Beautiful color blending too!
    I think I just really needed this in-depth step-by-step process that you explained it really opened up a whole New World for me and I think things really clicked so I want to thank you very much for that and let you know that I LOVE your style!
    Hugs!❤️
