    Great tutorial and pretty painting, Deb 🎨🖌️🙂
    I really don't understand the negative comments about the music and volume. 🎶 Your voice and the music worked perfectly together. I liked the tune and it wasn't too loud or over-powering your voice. Believe me, there have been some CZcamsrs that I just cannot watch because you can't hear them talk because the background music is blaring! 🔊🙉

    Well I really enjoyed the way you talked us through this. I particularly liked the shadow instruction. Thanks so much for taking the time to do this. I’m painting later with a friend so I’m going to try this. I agree that you don’t need ant background music. Just you will be fine. xx

      Stephanie, this is a 3/4 inch Silver Black Velvet oval wash brush. I like it because it is a soft wash brush that holds a lot of water plus it has a good point. I think they're worth the money as they don't wear out.

    It would be nice if you could list the colors as you use them so that as we reply the video it would be helpful. And cut the music

      Thanks, Denise - I'll try to include the colors I'm using but the online lesson has a wide range of suggested colors so everybody can join in. And I am making the music much softer and less intrusive. Thanks for the feedback.

    Love the painting but hate the annoying background music.

      Sorry for the music, Diana, I'll try something different next time.

      Sorry to hear that I've switched to different music for the next video - much lighter. Thanks for the feedback!
