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
