      Same with this 70-something from across the same pond! Mental health problems adding to my physical ones so, having been bought paper, brushes and paints for Christmas as a therapeutic activity, all I needed was someone to help me get started, taking me back to my carefree schoolday art activities. I have found someone! Thank you.

      Enlightened Patriot- snapI I’m in the U.K. too and 70 next year….always said I wanted to write a book and learn to paint, but family and divorce issued topped by mental breakdown pushed them way down the list. For the past 20 yrs I’ve just existed, except once when my son was taken with aggressive cancer within 7wks diagnosis, my heart broke, and for him I feel I must achieve something…my paints lay in their boxes, and I have never thought of painting a Vignette….so much easier in the sense your not overfaced by a large sheet white paper. Small is good, so I wish you joy and a deal of great pleasure from now on. 🙋‍♀️love Helen from North Norfolk U.K. 😘😘💐👍

      @@helencheadle5285 You have had so much stress and now being the tragic news of your son. May watercolor help provide you even momentarily some relief and soothing for your soul.. I’ve jut started watercolor a couple of months ago and it has helped reduce my feelings of hopelessness. Caring and warm wishes to you from thousands of miles away.

      My fourth-grade teacher chided me all the time for drawing tiny, detailed vignettes and “wasting paper.” I couldn’t express to her my enchantment with things miniature. I suppose, too, that it’s less daunting than trying to cover a vast, blank paper. :)

      Actually, I have been more afraid of doing the minis because I am not sure My hand would be steady enough to do smaller detail..idk. it would definately help me save paper. I decided to try bc I thought maybe,just maybe it might be easier, idk. We shall see. Thank you!

    Usually in the past I always tried to paint the sky-thanks for the concept of vignettes, no sky needed! I bought a package of 50 blank watercolor postcards, and am almost half way through them, I think. Small paintings are so much easier for me than large, and more fun. Thanks for your videos!
