    Everytime i watch your videos, they are always extremely moving- you always know what song to pair the vids with! everything you touch screams that you love and put alot of effort into them. this inspires me to pick up a pen or in this case a brush. 😋 Thankyou for all that you do! UA-cam wouldn't ever be the same without you!

    Beautiful video and artwork, as always 😊
    I got an idea /question for you. Yesterday I treated myself to the portrait set of Faber Castell watercolour markers, as they are supposed to be lightfast and highly pigmented. I've been playing around with them and after watching this I started wondering what magic you would be able to do with them. They have other themed sets as well, only 5 markers per set. It's highly restrictive but fun at the same time. I thing you would be able to make really interesting things with a supply like that as the ink works both as a marker or dissolved in water. From beautiful watercolour like glazes to very bold graphic shapes. It's a thought!
    Continue the great work.I always try to watch your videos as soon as they come out. You're definitely my fave artist on this platform ❤

    Hullo Jess, this is a wonderful example for all watercolor artists for creating a layout or people portraits! I have an idea? Would you consider sharing a layout from your experience at Artists in Wonderland? I know that you might want to ask the others if they made being a part of your painting. I truly feel that the videos are just one expression of the amazing adventure that was held in Michigan! I hope you think about creating a small series of paintings that captures the feeling of being there. I know that so many people turn to videos, but once upon a time portrait settings were a valid use of the painters expertise in capturing the moment! I know that photographs are the main capture method used today. I have created a few moments paintings in my career and they are so treasured by their owners and I am truly proud of them too! I believe that you are the perfect person to record a few of the outstanding moments of the event. I hope you are thinking about this project. Thank you for your generosity and kindness in all that you do.

      They look like Betty Hayways brushes. I'm not sure where they're sold physically but The Chelsea Paper Company sells them through their website. I believe they ship from the UK though, so depending on where you are, shipping might be a bit pricey.

    After many years of schooling and working as an artist do you still discover new things about your technique with mediums you’ve used over and over again. I don’t mean new mediums/tools (like spray paint). I mean perhaps discovering something new about painting with something as familiar as water colours?

      She isn't flaunting her wealth. She is a full time artist. Those paints are, I would guess, a small fraction of the supplies she owns. It's a rightof for her to buy art supplies.
      Also, as she said in the video, the purpose of this video is to show a technique on how you can use any three colours for figure painting. It's a lesson on colour mixing, layering and values.
      She literally said "feel free to choose any three colours, as this technique applies with a wide variety of different colour choices". I'm paraphrasing => 1:14
