Hello...I have some suggestions.... Postboxes, colourful beach huts, owls, woodland with a carpet of bluebells.

Sophie

Hello Harriet, what about a pineapple and also a « nature morte » of a bowl of fruit?

Nancy

Illustrative maps

Fiona Townsend

Could I also suggest puffins, moles, fungi

Debbie V

I would like to learn how to paint a very deep dark red poppy in full floppy bloom, from the side with buds. I’d love to do this for my Mom.

Kate Tully

Wheat, barley, grasses, etc

Cyan Steffani

Hello, How exciting all the things coming soon! I love the way you explain the techniques to use. I have some suggestions too, Cloud study and water

Kathryn Clancy

Hi Harriet, I’d love some sea creatures. A sea turtle, sea horse, squid, fish, a ray and things to put in an underwater scene. I know that’s a lot!!!Love you videos and books!

Jana

Love what youve been putting out lately! Beach/grass scene, fields, picnic scene, succulents, bird of paradise, mountain/Forrest/camping scene

Kerri Fair

Thank you so much for all the wonderful tutorials! I can’t even express my gratitude enough as they keep me motivated and interested in painting at a time when I just need this outlet. I appreciate you! My suggestion is a detailed poppy, and another suggested. I love your loose poppies, and would enjoy something more detailed as well. Also, any painting where you use masking fluid. That’s my next challenge.

Elaine Jarvis

I'm new to this so forgive me if I suggest something already attempted but I've been loving your animals. (from way back) I loved the forest animals and the cats even a Highland Cow. I'd love to try more farm yard animals.

Alison Gammon

Could I suggest Puffins please? They will be nesting in burrows on the cliffs now - we are hoping to get out and see some soon! Thank you for all the tutorials, I find the hardest thing is getting started, so having projects to work on is really helpful.

Beverly Dorman

Would it be possible to address how to take a successful painting and turn it into a print, either for a greeting card or larger? Am thinking about trying to sell some of my work.....thank you!

Avril Wright

Harriett I would love to see a house being painted. Something architectural. Also someone asked if the process of printing a card from your artwork could be covered. Thank you

Kathrin Dieter

I would love to learn how to paint flowing water and maybe a fox or a squirrel.

Sheryl Gardner-Cole

I would love a few more loose/detailed projects. I love those so much! As a beginner I am learning a lot and feel like I’m getting better! Thank you dear for your lovely instructions!

Beate Spindler

Because it is the begin of strawberry season, I could imagine a strawberry plant with berrys and white blossoms in a beautiful pot. A food truck with fish and ships at the ocean would also be lovely (or the guinea pigs, my six year old daughter loves so much). Thank you for all the april pictures!!! I loved painting the rabits and the beautiful forest conopy. Such a relaxing practice and calming picture to look at.

Martina Birkoben

First and foremost: Thank you for everything! It’s always done with love and high quality❤️I do not have special suggestions. It’s a learning process and with everything I try I do something for myself in my learning journey. So (almost) everything is welcome 😊

Belinda Stringer

Would be lovely to have some more animals please!

Lynne Morea

Thank you for everything you do for us. I would enjoy a koi painting. I love your animals. I would enjoy painting them.

Jana

Also, only because I've been seeing them a lot - a Mallard Duck.

Shira Lev

I would absolutely love a nocturnal scene.

jennifer

So many already great ideas… and I also appreciate your teaching/sharing style!! a front porch with potted bloom -

Heather Wilson

I like the idea of a house structure. I have loved seeing the houses you have painted.

Lovely suggestions! We've already got an owl in the illustration playlist on youtube if you want a go.

de Winton Paper co.

We've got some nice cloud studies in the watercolour challenges you might like

de Winton Paper co.

Ah thanks so much Kerri. I've got a detailed poppy in a youtube tutorial on my flowers and foliage playlist. Yes some more things with masking fluid would be good

de Winton Paper co.

Ah Yes I've had Koi fish on my list for a while, maybe it's time to get it done!

de Winton Paper co.

This would be a really interesting challenge. I think I will need to have a few practise goes myself first

de Winton Paper co.

We've got a really nice scene of this in the watercolour challenges. It takes a few sessions hence why it's not a youtube tutorial.

Sadly, several of my friends who are Moms have lost their children over the past year. And this will be their first Mother's Day since their kids have passed. I would love for you to create a Mother's Day card that also acknowledges their loss. One idea that came to mind was a white dove perched on a limb of a flowering tree. But whatever you would come up with would be much appreciated and I know would be absolutely beautiful. Thank you so much.

Anne

I would love a turorial on your cocktail prints from your etsy shop 😍 and/or the crystals

Lauren Watt

I would love to see an Australian Grevilliea. I have some growing in my garden and they have big loopy parts that I find so challenging to paint, particularly so they don’t look flat. Maybe a project for the rigger brush? If you search for ‘peaches and cream’ there are some gorgeous colours, and my mum has one of the ‘majestic’ varieties. It’s red with white ‘loops’.

Dee

I would be interested in more focus of your fabulous drawing techniques and any tricks of the trade on how you lay out your flower arrangements as you are doing your regular videos. For example I took a floral class in the past and it was “put this here and that there”, ahhhh…no help! the real question was “ why you put it here or there”. You do such a great job of describing the shapes of your art as it is which helps so much, I am being greedy ha ha!

Kathrin Dieter

Maybe you could show how to paint a tree with leaves and blossoms? I tried to do quince apple and chestnut trees and well… I tried. If I warch you painting afterwards I just know how to do it! You have such a wonderful way of teaching!

de Winton Paper co.

I can t begin to imagine how that would feel. It's an interesting talking point for what kind of a thing would be a comfort on a card for such a terrible loss.

Cheryl Gibbs

Thank you so much for your kind and compassionate words. I truly appreciate it.
