    Thanks for sharing. As someone trying to start an art business, these tips were super helpful. Also those gouache plants are so cute!! I want to try something like that in my sketchbook now. 😊

      Thank you so much for watching!! I'm so glad you found my tips helpful. Let me know if you have any other questions! I'd love to help any way I can. 💛 These little plants were definitely fun to paint. If you do give some a try, I'd recommend painting a few polka dot begonias!! So much fun.

    Beautiful plants! I like the variety of pots + plants. ❤❤❤ It actually reminds me of a sticker sheet. I really have no interest in an art business but watched this to see you paint the plants (plus I was curious about "how in the world do artists turn a picture they made into a sticker" - which you answered. Because I know lots of people sell stuff like stickers of their art on etsy, etc.

    You pack so much information into one video. Whenever I research a subject, I'll often watch several videos on the same thing. No one can cover every little detail, so I find lots of of extra info that way. That's why I'm so impressed with yours. You're also smart, entertaining and funny. :)

    Thank you for the tips and I'm sorry to hear about your unsold prints, I know the feeling unfortunately 😅 I keep checking your store to check if you started shipping internationally but I absolutely understand how expensive it can get 💔

    Hey, I found your channel a few days ago and I'm absolutely blown away by your steady hangs and cool style (in art and in speaking).
    I have a question, because I love your details brush: what brand is it and where can I buy some??
    Keep going, I love your videos!!!

    • @allisonaletha
      @allisonaletha  Před rokem +1

      Thank you so much!! That means so much to me. 💛 I used a mixture of brush brands in this one. The little silver brush is a Princeton mixed media brush, and the white handled brushes are from Etchr. 😊
