I started this Youtube show at the end of the year in 2019, with the hope of offering my “beautiful but do-able” paintings and step-by-step instructions with a worldwide audience.

Easy Flowers
Flowers are one of the most popular things to paint, but do not let this popularity scare you away. There are still many ways that you can make a flower painting your own! This video is sure to give you a lot of different ideas, and may be particularly helpful if you have ever painted watercolor flowers before (painting with acrylic paint involves a bit of a different technique).
Acrylic Cardinal
If you’re more of a fauna person than a flora one, then why not paint this magnificent cardinal? This tutorial from Pamela Groppe can show you how to simply paint what is an otherwise complicated-looking painting. She is able to offer so many useful tricks that this painting can be tackled by even the most beginning of painters.
Birch Trees
Why don’t we ever talk about just how beautiful a birch tree is? While other tree species like weeping willows and maples get all of the attention, the beautiful birch tree gets underappreciated. Pay homage to these beautiful and unique trees by painting them — the process is made quite easy thanks to this tutorial.
