  • I just found your channel. You ll never know how much my finding it was meant to be. I suffer from depression and a lot of days my mind wants to do art but my motivation is so lacking. I love your pieces so pretty. Thanks for making me want to create. Hope you have a great day.😊
  • I love drawing on toned paper with colored pencils. The colors just pop off the page. I use to use a white jelly roll to outline my drawings and it made them look like stickers! The water droplets are super cool!
  • @kathyfannon7563
    LOVE this! Yes, please more content like this! I love the simplicity. And your water drops amaze me. I'm going to see if I can manage to draw some. Also, music choices were prefect!
  • This is my first time viewing your art.... You've got the most soothing voice.... I found myself relaxing as I watched you sketch.... Absolutely love you channel.... Thank you for allowing us to come visit with you in the studio.... Keep the art coming.... 🫠

    This is great!!!! I have a chronic illness called POTS and I am bedbound usually a couple days a week and low energy most of the others. This will help me so much!!!

    I'm trying to get back into my art groove after a 2 month hiatus so I'm making doodle art and zentangles. And yes, that daisy kept turning up, LOL. I can relate to those low energy days. These are lovely, fun exercises.
  • Great ideas!! I am in a block at the moment. I love drawing flowers and mushrooms when I am 'doodling', or doing the zentangle type of artwork. Thanks for sharing!
  • Daisies are such versatile flowers. The daisy family is huge! 😮 sunflowers, cornflowers, gerba, brown eyed Susan's. To learn to draw them opens a world of colorful possibilities!! 👍 You did an awesome job! 👏👏 I've never seen the two circle method, but it might improve my daisies. The bugs and water drops were really cool! 🤗
  • I totally love what you have done here. It was calm and relaxing and definitely low stress. I just went through a huge battle with mental health issues and picked up drawing and watercoloring as a stress reliever. I noticed that you use prismacolor and maybe derwent colored pencils. I'm ready to jump in and buy some decent quality stuff...do you have any recommendations...and remember I am totally new to this. I hope you have a lot more time to do more of these videos!

    I’m so glad I found this channel, it has been wonderful to watch you draw and listen to you, as soon as I’m better I will be getting those pencils and pens out and Start drawing again, thank you for the inspiration
  • Thank you! So much fun. ❤ I am leaning into my creative side late in life. You made this evening feel light and playful!

    ❤ I feel like getting my art journal started…. But then since I don’t really know how to draw- I dont do anything. Thanks for the start.

    Your bug doodles are so stinking cute!
