I love this idea so much. You are such an inspiration – you two. Can you do more of these quicky lessons. They are perfect for a Covid groundhog day.
We are considering it and it is on the list! Our ever-growing list!
Thanks for your vote!
I so enjoy the banter between john and ginger that I have ceased painting and watch the tutorials on youtube more than I paint!! I especially like the difference in the personalities between go with the flow Ginger and the sock folder. Hahahaha. Keep up the fun.
I checked the USPS website & the more expensive card, is actually 2 cards.
Great tutorials. I like to make greeting cards and these are wonderful
Wow, what a great way to share a painting with family and friends. I just finished watching you paint the four post cards. What a great idea for using up left over paints, or a quick “sketch” painting as you said of something I’ve been wanting to try and just haven’t done yet. So glad you mentioned about the sealing coat of varnish. Yes please to more quickie tutorials, but I know you’re both super busy right now maybe in the new year. Thank you Ginger and Jon Merry Christmas art hugs Teent
