Hi! Very informative. Thanks so much for taking the time to explain it all. Big question: What kind of gesso should one use under watercolor crayon? It seems like few people use gesso for watercolor (am I wrong?) but I like your effect. Also, I just looked it up and its pronounced "caron de shay" -- or some person said.

Look forward to your reply and thanks again!

A fellow artist in San Diego!

@tallgirlhappyme I am so happy you enjoyed, thanks for watching! I suggest Golden's gesso as I love the smooth texture. I hope that helps! Much Love

Thank you so much for your videos! I love them! As a fellow artist(and Canadian) it's good to be reminded of the basics. Espicially when you're self taught and involved in many media-oil, acrylics, mixed media, collage, fabric arts, bookmaking, etc. It's reassuring to meet another self taught artist helping so many others. Thank you for all your videos,kindness and isspiration! Blessings to you from Nova Scotia, Hannah

my only problem with the stedlers is that there is no purple in the 12 pack

when it got to 3:29 and you said "so bright, so vivid" i started singing the double rainbow song because thats a line from it haha

[JournalArtista]

@AuberellaDorkella Thank you so much for the sweet comment! I also agree about the purple!!!!! Well, I guess we can mix blue and red ;) Much Love!

I have the Portfolios and am envious of the NeoColors ; )

[JournalArtista]

@TopazPearleGirl They are an investment for sure. Remember, you can buy them in singles and work from there.
