    TWO IMPORTANT notes:
    1. You'll notice at 19:11 I'm adding the final detail with bleedproof white (yay, love!) At 20:08 my editor goofed and used earlier footage which rightly so confused things quite a bit. But rest assured I didn't magically erase or remove the sparkly white details I added at 19:11 :) I didn't want to delete and reupload so I'm clarifying here :)
    **Head to the community tab here to see a good look at the finished piece”!**
    2. We’re working on securing a download of this lesson from Kolbie’s publisher but the holiday has things delayed :)

    Oh my gosh I cried through most of the video. I started the day with bad news and I've been in that absent minded shock state all day and I clicked your video because your voice is so soothing and the second I heard Scandinavian it snapped me out of that shock absence and as I saw the painting develop... gosh you're not going to believe this. I grew up in the coast of Northern Sweden on a small island and just 5-10 minutes walking distance from my childhood home was one of the small little bays full of fishing houses by the water which looked like cute cabins and the more you painted the more I remembered memories of walking past these different fishing houses, the fish nets that were hanging to dry, the sound of the water in the summer or the clean white of snow as far as the eye could see on top of the ice in the winter, or that night on a small road on the other side of the little bay where northern lights were dancing in the night sky above all those little houses. Or the houses behind the fish houses being lit up at night like soothing stars in the distance. This was so beautiful and so therapeutic, I never would've thought to turn those memories into art because what you grow up around easily feels mundane but when those tube paints arrive on Thursday I'm returning to this video. Seriously, thank you. You really never know when a video you click on will touch your heart. ❤️

      I’m so grateful that you shared this story. As I was working through the lesson I felt this push in my soul to make the scene fell more disk-like and adding those last few sparked of white throughout the hillside felt so incredibly right. How could I have known I was painting them for someone specific? Is this world glorious sometimes?

      @@KristyRice Oh yes the whites!! Really fresh snow will sparkle almost like glitter, and fresh ice can be pretty reflective (as can really still water be like a mirror) so every detail gave memories. Our cabin (oh yeah a lot of people have their own cabin somewhere) was in the mountains by a lake that often is still as a mirror and on those mountains are little houses similar to the background houses. Literally every detail felt like a memory. What's your instagram? I'd love to share one photo of our cabin by the lake. :)

    Payne's grey is just one of my all time favourite pigment colours. Whenever I want a sky colour that's rich but not too bright, that's the colour I reach for, I have it ready in my Paul Ruben watercolour palette, but I always know how to mix it. I've always loved neutral colours but Payne's grey has a special place in my heart. I also love how the one I have granulates in washes so it looks even cooler.

    I had a blast painting along with this, and then spend most of this summer being unhappy with every other ocean related painting I attempted. So I bought the book! I am already seeing a huge improvement so thank you for introducing me to the book. I'm impatient and usually paint a lot of wet on wet spontaneous stuff sith not many layers so Kolbe Blume's multiple layer approach had been a challenging adventure but so worth it.
