    Soooo what were your fave moments of this vid? I know for me it was the cactus reveal 😂😂😂. In all seriousness I’ve had another take on the wonky mouth. Just painted over the area with white acrylic, let dry, then added a layer of peach from my Art for Joy’s Sake Palette and then in I went to sketch that big grin back in! Head to this post to see how it alllll turned out: youtube.com/post/UgkxM-BabV266-odZnv85UOxs0iSc0KZl…

    I tint the water with an easy lifting color. It's easier then trying to using a pencil over bumpy paper 😅. (Lost it over the cactus 🌵 🤣) Brilliant as always, thank you 💖
  • Can relate to the shirt sleeves. The way I wish more shirts had 3/4 length sleeve options 😆
  • @MNGranny
    Absolutely love your cactus. Recently purchased your travel brush and palette. I'm so excited to try them. Thanks for being you. Gives us newbies good vibes.
  • @Gretchen_T.
    I am loving this channel!!!! Thank you @KristyRice!!!!!

    I didn’t know Sailor made Shikiori markers. I love Sailor’s line of Shikiori fountain pen inks. Actually, all of Sailor’s inks are top notch. Probably my favourite ink brand. If you are looking for some fun colours of ink to put in your Lamy Safari pen, I would highly suggest any of Sailor’s inks. Just pick a colour that makes your heart sing.

    Hi Kristy!! I live in Florida and I found a wild flower yesterday called a Starrush Whitetop. I thought it was so different and beautiful. Then I thought Kristy might have an idea how to paint these funky flowers! I was curious to see if someone had painted these before, but so far I haven’t found any paintings of them. Ps I love your videos and you help me enjoy making art so much more. Never stop doing what you do, thank you💜

    Thank you, you inspired me to get my watercolor markers out again! (Cheap markers, just for playing around.)
  • @dianacurrao8348
    Omg 😅. Thank you for this video! I LOL’d through it, and I really needed that. ❤
  • I want a drink of what you are drinking!!! Love this, you made beauty from…nothing!❤❤❤
  • I LOVE it! I really enjoyed watching this, even though I know you couldn't hear me answering you back, or see me nodding in response to your questions. 😆
  • @KristyRice… you say that brush on one end and liner on the other and all I can think is… What about a whole set? Dagger brush on one end, Filbert brush on one end, cats tongue on one end. Etc. a whole set of “brush” markers!
  • @angellove2911
    Loving this technique ❤....just a fyi....i know you will appreciate a cute palette for cheap....Dollar Tree has a Prang 12 color mini palette for $1.25...for a budget brand I am shook!! I have some prof sets, and yours too, so.....I'd love to see a video review!
  • Also, I think that your little kristy-moji is pretty cute and you should do a whole sheet of them in different poses and sell them as a sticker pack. I would so buy one of those.
  • I bought the How to Draw Cute Stuff you showed the other day and just got it today. I am going to work on some Zentangling today and see how I can it in with my watercolor bookmarks, so my day is experimental too!
  • Very cute little Kristy!! ✨️ Full on Amazon jungle mode!! 😅

    I love your self portrait. You're so inspiring🎉
