As a non artist trying to get into this new hobby I appreciate your clear explanation. It IS a lot more complicated than it looks. Your paintings are lovely. I’m saving this video!

OMG! Of the hundreds of videos I've watched, you uniquely convey meaningful dialog. Taking nothing away from the abundant videos giving us visual instruction for paint pouring, your explanation has given me more help as a novice artist than anything else I've watched. Thank you. I just hope you are a teacher as your side hustle because if not, the profession is missing out on a great instructor!

Every time you post, I go somewhere peaceful and watch/listen to you. You are so reliable. I know that in your explanations I will learn something new or be affirmed in something I had been thinking about. Thank you for your unrestrained sharing and for your honesty. BTW, I love how the white makes the petals looked polished.
