Hello Ashley
I have enjoyed watching your tutorials. You're very pleasant and your voice is clear. Sometimes you show your pallet but it's too low to really see it what colors you're mixing. Your work it's very inspirational I paint every day and I learn every day.I appreciate sharing your talent with we novices. Through your tutorials, I have learned a lot of artistic techniques.

Regards,
Kay

Thanks for helping me understand that the brush must be the right type to paint them properly. I guess I would really have to invest in the right art supplies to achieve the pieces that I want to make. I am not an expert, and this is my first time as well since I have a lot of free time in August that is why I wanted to try painting.
