Watercolor Portraits - Dynamic Atmosphere and Whimsical Skin Tones

OH THIS IS SO STUNNING!  Wow... You continue  make painting so effortless.  This  one I feel  drawn to with  the way the colors dance from the shine of her skin  e tones and shade variations in he flowers and her features are so lifelike.  (Im sorry I think the following message would be more appropriate in a private message but I've to learn if that is possible so here goes.....) You're my favorite Youtube content creator. I can just mellow out when I sit and listen to you be so real and calm about everything you are doing and about your life. You're very talented and I share the same passions.... I want to do everything and try everything and I disilke hearing, "You need to pick one thing...." I wasn't made like that and I see you were not either. I love your sense of humor and how you pop in to the randomness zone about how your husband boubht you the adorable succulant plant so you had to get it in this shot and then talk about its cuteness and right back into the creating mode. Thank you so much for sharing what you do of your life with people. You're a unique person and are so open to sharing all you're learning and I especially appreciate the teachings on paint making and book binding. I know that many people won't share and it was difficult for you to find information so I find what you share to be both invaluable for it's information and relaxing and soothing to watch. I look forward to being able to experiment with this craft as well. If I were in your area I'd hope to be able to have you as a mentor because you truly do share with an open heart and I find it so incredible that you do all the things I'm so interested in. I'm just beginning... well, if you can call that.... I don't learn as well watching tv as I do hands on with a live teacher either in my ear or in person with a tutor and a classroom to interact with. I did go to the Art Institute for a while until well.... life happened. But loved it so! I don't know a soul who does any art or crafts... in fact I don't suppose I really know anyone since my move just over 2 years ago so it's nice to know that i can at least, if not work along with you in a teaching session as you paint, sit and absorb and absorb until I've finally picked things up. I know this is long but I'm so glad and grateful that I found you on Youtube and now Slkillshare. Your kindness is even touching to the heart through social media and your passion and joy you share for your craft....er...multiple artistic endeavors and abilities, is quite pleasing and contagious! I love your work it's so beautiful.... I guess I should tell you that I never look at art the way I see other's where it moves me to think really deeply about what the subject matter means, represents, what the artist might have been thinking and actually have an emotion when I see it. I just always loved art and color. But I was telling my husband just last week that your art is so different and it moves me in a way that I've never been motivated to think about art before (even though I felt I should be since I was so into it). How cool is that?   Okay, I'm sorry for the terribly long message. I'm not trying to sound like ...what do people call people who worship a celebrity or follow celebs....a fangirl? Pop-ART-razzo/i? Stalker?? LOLWell, whatever the term may be I'm not that. You're a person like everyone else and I just so happend to be blerssed by your sharing your art and your heart and your life on your show. I truly enjoy your work and your personality and I hope to know someone like you in my neck of the woods oneday soon, who will share the passions I have and get excited about trying new things and simply love to share ideas and grow with me. But until then, and even after, I'm so very glad I can enjoy your teachings and the calming and soothing "mellow-ness&lt;----(ermmmm, for lack of an actual word that fits there I'll just make it up!) which you bring in a very raw and honest way each week and in each new presentation of your process. I want so much to start a channel and am just not feeling that I have anything yet to offer except reviews because I have to start all over to learn since leaving school. Anyway, can't go back to school but at least I can soak in some good information online. So, you rocketh hard and all that stuff.   You're a beautiful peson, and I see the fingerprints of God all over your life. Thanks again for sharing what You have with all of us. May you find yourself richly blessed and in the grip of His Grace and favpr at all times. Hasta la Pasta, Mrs. Arleeface!!!!   PS..... so so sorry for the novel. :/ I guess I was excited... that an I have no idea how to condense my thoughts into short sentences. Maybe I should just go into textbook writing....uhg! LOLOL

totally! your brushwork is impressive *.*

Hey everyone!&nbsp; I wanted to share this painting with you! This one is technically from after the class was published, but all of the same principles still apply. I'll be adding some more images of material from the class very soon. Happy painting!&nbsp;
