Hi everyone, thanks so much for your early suggestions. We've now painted all of July in advance so I can head up to Scotland and there's nothing missed on Youtube or Patreon AND we've made sure we're painting things you want to try!

This could just be my stomach talking but maybe a big bowl of pasta? Spaghetti… bucatini… penne… something delicious that could double as a recipe card maybe?

Haha! Well I’m thinking about doing some kind of summer holiday series so that could be an Italian one

Emma

Hi Harriet, would love a landscape of Australian snow gums or a bouquet of Australian native flowers (Waratahs, grevilleas, pink heath, Sturt’s desert pea, Violet kunzea). Plus some ideas on what to paint when you don’t know what to paint and you don’t have much time or brain power - watercolour doodles but satisfying

Katherine

What about a sea turtle ?

Nicola Archbold

Hi harriet I’d love to paint some strawberries and cream to celebrate Wimbledon. Thank you :)

Nicola

Hi Harriet, I’m with Emma above and would love to see some Australian natives. Grevillea, wattle, pink flowering gum and kangaroo paw would be great. I’ve loved doing the floral alphabet-thank you so very much.

love your miniatures , so Not sure if there is anything available but a set of miniature furniture either vintage, retro, modern or mixed. Either different pieces, or multiple of just 1 type (eg just chairs or sofas, tables or stools etc) . Perhaps one point perspective project of a fully furnished room (??? this may be better as a WC Challenge).

Bec Fowler

A wombat. To go with the native Australian flora. Lol. You have lots of Aussie students it seems. ☺️☺️

Diana

Hello, Harriet! How about Wood Ducks? I think they're beautiful. Thank you. ☺️🦆

Sue

July in America is fireworks, ice cream, and a whole lot of red, white and blue. Any of those would be great!

Bridget

Love this idea <3.

Bridget

Thinking along the summer holiday theme, what about a series of different environments - so a little something for everyone? Like, if you could pick one environment to vacation in, what would it be ... One could be a cityscape, one a beach retreat, a woodland cabin, one a cooking retreat - yeah definitely food lol ;) etc. So many options.

Stephanie Lee

I’m going to suggest buildings or any sort of urban landscape, since there are already a ton of floral and animal themes available.

Jacqueline Bauer

I’d love to learn about painting skin. Windy, gray, sunset, sun rise, stormy, winter cloudy.. toy get the idea… I love watching everything you do.

Hey Caterina, yes I think thee are lovely ideas and better suited to Patreon. We're doing a one point perspective WC right now with the green house

Jude

Hi Harriet, I would love an English Elderflower - having issues with following in the book and would love to have the brush in action :)

Jacqueline Bauer

Oh my goodness, that’s what I get for not spell checking. YES… though skin one day would be great too.

Leah

Hi Harriet, how about a mountain landscape or an alpine scene?

Maria Schneider

When your website opens you are painting a flower arrangement. It is beautiful! Would it be possible to include that in your Youtube channel?

Kristin

Would love to paint a swimming pool scene.

Anna Morgado

I've been looking for how to paint a Hawaiian plumeria. It looks quite difficult but I would love to give it a go.

Betsi

A Plover chick? They are sweet little sea birds here in NewEngland.

Oh I saw these when we were in malaysia a few years ago and thought how lovely they were

Hi Maria, I have a version of that tutorial on my sweet pea tier watercolour challenges.

we had this very thing on the cherry blossom livestream last week but will certainly consider it for youtube too.

I would love to paint a mini cucumber plant. They have such beautiful details to capture. The leaves, the flowers, the spiraling tendrils to wrap around a frame and of course the mini cucumbers itself in different stages on the plant.

Caterina B

Lol. My brain just went on a roll. 👍 Agree a room is more a patreon suggestion. Love your minis so more of anything little is good with me. Thanks Harriet 🤩

Tracy Abraham

I would love a series of food paintings. Ideally mini ones. I’m dreaming of making illustrated recipe cards and turning them into a book. I painted some lovely little bags of sugar and jars of honey etc for my honey cake recipe but the painting of the loaf cake itself wasn’t great and the layout wasn’t as good as the type I’ve seen people do. The other thing I’d like to do is illustrated maps showcasing points of interest - buildings etc. I tried to do the maps on Procreate and overlay my illustrations but it was a nightmare!

Laura Boxberg

YES PLEASE Italian Summer series. Un'Estate Italiana! Spaghetti pomodoro, Aperol Spritz, a beautiful vintage carafe of ice cold white wine (good way to practise glass and shadows), assorted aperitivo plate, a bowl of olives, a pistacchio gelato cone, caffé Leccese... *drooling* 😅

Anne-Marie Serpaud

Hello Harriet, how about a tall glass of lemonade with ice cubes and a pretty straw?

Nicola Archbold

Love this idea, really enjoyed the carrot cake recipe card and would love to do more :)

Debbie

I need a gift for a neighbor who was so sweet when my husband was ill. Please do the deck chairs soon. (It's perfect for her.). Thank you so much. I love everything you do.

Debbie

That sounds absolutely lovely. And not so easy. . . good to learn about ice and how to paint it!
