Beautiful cherry blossoms! I can’t wait to try this! 😊

Mimi-me

Absolutely stunning...and the videos makes me feel like I could give it a go! Thanks for the clear explanation x

Michele Yon

Beautiful! I'm excited to try. I think the blossoms and leaves are present together for a time. Like peak blossoms have immature leaves. Here's a pic from DC cherry blossoms at peak: https://flic.kr/p/n5zS8c

This was my best painting of the year so far! I’m wondering about tiny painting #9. Couldn’t we have used the masking glue to create the snow on the tree?

Kristin Van Leuven

Yes definitely! Once you use masking fluid you'll start to realize how many different ways you can use it instead of doing negative painting. I will say though, light areas where I want an uneven border like the snow for the trees or the tree trunks in 16, I tend to stay away from masking fluid because it leaves such a distinct edge that's hard to soften once removed. The clover though has such round distinct edge that it was perfect for masking fluid. Flowers, blades of grass, windows etc. would all work well with masking fluid too

Kristin Van Leuven

Oh great to know! I couldn't find a definitive yes or no and I remember someone calling me out for adding leaves once haha. Those pictures are beautiful

I love cherry blossoms! I did see your YouTube video of painting flowers using the tiny dots; you made it look so simple! Looking forward to painting this one.

Hi Kristin, what size paper are you working on? I'm going to try these tomorrow.

Finally got around to this one and loved painting it. I found my cad yellow too dull and couldn't lift it successfully, but you added an orange-yellow later, so it all worked out after I added lemon yellow to the centres. Thanks a ton for all your content, Kristin.

I love this design. I have made birthday cards for my friends! I have decided to scatter some fine splatters at the end!
