LOVE the wristband suggestion!!

Kristin Van Leuven

It's such a great hack! I'm always losing loose rags or paper towel haha

Laura Betit

This is a great idea! I’d love to try this. We still have a few feet of snow on the ground up here in Aroostook county, Maine but I did get my seeds to start today. Happy gardening to you!

Cari Apostol

Kristin, can you please say the name of the pallet maker you use. I have not been able to catch it - like Leather Sparrow, but I google and get nothing. Also, isn't this rain lovely - I'm in AZ also.

Elena Bianco

Beautiful! I absolutely LOVE your painting style 😍

Catherine Bielen

Love this! I really enjoyed watching you paint and talk through your process. I look forward to seeing your progress. I am happy you will be sharing mire with us. Thank you so much. I watched the tree painting video. Wow did I love it and learned so much. It is the best one I have seen. I am so happy to have found you. Your work and videos are amazing. I will be practicing!

Shirley

Salsa Verde is my favourite ❤️

Lori Aragon

This was so much fun to watch! I adore your tiny journal with it's beautiful cover. Then the inside is a delight to the eyes. Thank you for sharing!

Christine Ryan

Would you please post where your journal and magnetic clip are from? Thanks!

Lise

I love this video, Kristen. You have inspired me to paint a flower garden journal. Thanks!

Cari Apostol

thank you! I looked up the price and decided what I have is good for now.

Alex

Full circle: my big hobby is my cut flower farm, and I used to watercolour the season on Moleskine notebooks with no formal guidance until eventually that has driven me to your teaching. Furthermore, do you know of Gertrude Jekill, the famous garden designer who's style was inspired by her training as a painter? She introduced the painting colour theories and the use of the colour wheel to her garden planting and revolutionized the English gardening style.

Cheryl

The palette can be purchased without the Letter Sparrow paint directly from Art Toolkit and they have a sale starting tomorrow on factory seconds.

Cheryl

I’m inspired to nature journal my garden now! Thanks!

Amanda

Absolutely love this!

Joanne Blanton

Oh happy day. We got to meet your face ☺️ I always only see your hands😉 Hahahaha early on I developed the bad habit of wiping my brush on my shirt front 😬people who know me just laugh! (because I am not about to toss out a perfectly good shirt because of a few paint swipes ) Typically I wear an apron or paint shirt. But I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten into it and just totally wiped my brush right on my shirt🤣 I’m new to tiny and I’m obsessed ❤️ Thank you wonderful person!!

Mary Kay

I LOVE this idea. Definitely going to do this. Thank you for inspiring me! Excited!

Agnes Duncan

Am I correct in remembering you are in Tucson? Your garden looks amazing! A coworker of mine wants to move to Florida so they can have a better garden, but I’m gonna show her yours and that it’s possible here!

Kristin Van Leuven

I'm in Mesa! You really can grow so much here. Tell her about growing in the garden on youtube and instagram. She's who I use as a resource for growing all the things here in the desert

Patti

This is so inspiring! I am a gardener and I’ve just started painting with you here-now I want to give this a try

Kristin Van Leuven

I don't know her, but I will look into this! Sounds amazing. I love that you used to do this too. My 8 year old says she really wants to be a flower farmer

Kristin Van Leuven

haha I rarely get in front of the camera anymore, but my husband has been encouraging me to do it so I'm not a stranger. I TOTALLY relate to wiping it on your shirt! I used to wear "watercolor pants" and just wipe my brush right on my lap lol

Bear Raeb Barrett

I wipe on my pants and short sleeve all the time because atm I wear clothes that doesn’t matter if the 4.5 month 50lb puppy messes up lol I might get to wear nicer clothes here in a few months so I probably should stop that habit haha

Michelle W.

So jealous! It snowed and rained last night in Reno. No gardening for another few months.

Joanna Gutierrez

Fantastic idea, great inspiration. Thank you.

debbie

I’d love some more tips about painting outside. We live about half a block from a lake, and I was too intimidated to try last year. One of my concerns is about free-hand painting. I’m intimidated.

Debi

How fun! Good luck with your garden, especially in AZ.

Mary Trainor Yost

What a fabulous idea! Thanks for sharing! What is the music in the video? It’s beautiful!

Bear Raeb Barrett

My little journal came in today. It was packaged so beautifully I’m going to have to find things to paint in it.

Bear Raeb Barrett

There’s always something to find that pleases the eye. Since it’s cold, snap a photo of it, go somewhere warm and paint.

Sandy

I just ordered the little journal today! I’m excited to get in my garden this spring and start planting and painting! Thank you Kristin!
