    I HAD to stop when you said “let me know in comments whether this is helpful” because, well, you know, it is REALLY helpful! I only wish I had found your channel earlier in my art journey. You have helped me so much that I found the courage to enter a juried art crawl in my new home town! More importantly, I make art that I like and I don’t worry how many other people will like it. Because of that MORE people have liked it - isn’t that weird? I DID find my joy. And I’m finding my own style, slowly. Thank you for all this.
  • I love using mop brushes because it's easy to change the pressure and there's lots of variety to it too 🥰
  • @Jas-zzz
    "It's not what you use but how you use it". 😻 Time to find some joy with line flow and point variety. I learn so much from the kinds of videos💜💜
  • Just ordered your brush set to send to my bestie in FL and hopefully get her hooked. ;) One of the big reasons besides quality was that it gets her a tutorial BY you! And you are who inspired me to start. So thank you. ❤
  • @lindathaxton1994
    Thank you - this adds to my awareness when I am sketching, painting or even writing!
  • Thank you! Once again you show the fine points that make alllll the difference!
  • I used this technique as an exercise to gain control with my calligraphy pen to get even thick and thin strokes which is especially important in a copperplate style scrip. I love how you expanded this beyond one tool. Great tips. Thank you!
  • I only recently bought a proper liner brush and OMG! I can get the best line variations with it depending on how much paint and pressure!
  • I got my first ever watercolour brush pens today… I’m so inspired !
  • You always give such amazing tips… You blow my mind girl. Thanks for helping me improve my art.
  • Kristy has some great ideas foor searching for examples of line quality: fashion sketches, Toulouse Lautrec, Matisse and Kandinsky sketches.
  • I just found this so insightful! A demystifying thank you 😮🎉
  • @lindsayb2629
    I've been using my Sailor Fude fountain pen lately. Talk about thin and thick lines ❤❤❤ and broken lines... oh, the love!!!
  • @melissab3038
    Oh yeah - the tip about keeping your old art - that’s a winner! How do you organize your old work? By color? Warm vs cool? By medium? By degree of completion? Simple Washes vs pieces you don’t really love yet but you don’t exactly know what you’re going to do with it? Thinking out loud here. Because I keep the practice sheets from when I was learning how to use a new brush or learning how to make different leaves - and now I have been using them for the beginning of my new abstract mixed media series!
