I know a lot of other things I'll talk about later lashes in a box embryo lease. Yeah, those are just a few of my favorites But it's definitely worth taking a look at so I want to go ahead and get started with some of the newer products That are on the Muse beauty pro website first of which these are their newest items I'm going straight to the lips because I am so excited about these I have had the dual lip pencils from Esum in my makeup kit and in my personal collection for quite some time I recommended them to you guys. They are double sided lip liners There is normally like a lighter side and a darker side And I have loved the colors that they've had and I'm really excited because they actually recently just came out with two new colors And they are so gorgeous. I start off with the more natural one. This is in the shade blush Sounds right at my alley. I can't wait to throw this in my bridal kit the two shades on here There's going to be like a more mauvey cool pink and then a little bit more of a warmer pink Beautiful for brides or for natural pink lips. You can mix and match these you can wear these on the lips alone Or you can also in my example I use the warmer color on the outside and then the cooler color on the inside of the lips To create kind of an ombre lip the lip liner formula is really creamy So it is comfortable enough to wear all over the lips and they are long lasting I use these exact lip pencils in my makeup kit on my brides who will be out all day For event makeup. So I will usually for long wear makeup I put down this lip liner first all over the lips and then I'll put either a stain a liquid lipstick or a lipstick Whatever the bride is wearing that day. These are always the base to my brides Is there waterproof transfer proof creamy vegan and cruelty free the other color that we have this one is so Fun, I'm excited to play with this. We have braids in so we have a hot magenta pink on one side And then a bright bright red on the other side I played around I did a bit of an ombre lip where I put the hot pink on the outer part of the lip And then the red on the inner part of the lip You can also reverse that or you can wear either side on their own for a bold bold lip And then you can even use that as a base for other lipsticks as well So I'm excited about the two new colors that they added to these because I really do love this product They also have some really great ones like nude is awesome for just, you know More of a brownie based nude lip and I also really like plum as well for my bride Yeah, I'm excited that they added more colors and they are beautiful So check that out even though they're brand new you can still get the 20 off Isam also just launched their new mascara, which I've been updating you guys on Periodically how I really do like this mascara. So I have it on my eyelashes right now No falsies you guys and if you don't know my struggle, I actually don't have that many lashes. They're quite sparse They're quite short. They don't hold a curl very typical in asian gals to not have the best lashes and I didn't hear it that gene but this really builds nicely and you can see it doesn't get clumpy and I've had this now For a few weeks and I like it even more than when I previously started using this I've always liked it from the start now that it's had some time to be used over and over It has never built like this. So I'm a fan of this This is definitely something nice to kind of pop onto your car if you're making an order I mean right now I'm I'm seeing length. I'm seeing the separation Which is probably my favorite part right now and it does add volume like it really does all of it It's nice and black water resistant. And yeah, y'all saw what I was working with before So this is actually pretty nice. Okay. Now these are so so so exciting when they first came out I told you guys to pick them up now. You can even get 20 off. So now they are an even better deal even more Extraordinary, so visi art if you don't know they come out with these Petites matt palette and if you don't know what they aren't listening up These are game changers. Visi art mats are the best in the industry period Don't argue with me about it. It is a makeup artist favorite So many makeup artists use visi art because they're so easy to use They work on so many different clients and skin types And they're just the best completely foolproof. Visi arts claim to fame are these 80 dollar all matte eyeshadow palettes I've collected almost every single one because they are that nice The thing that always turned people off was they were 80 dollars So visi art being the genuses that they are came out with the petite mats Which is a mini version of these 80 dollar palettes for literally half the price 40 dollars So this is already an amazing amazing value But now you also get it for an additional 20 off So muse was actually kind enough to send me three of them And I just want to show you how they look compared to their bigger versions. They are the exact same formula Literally in just a tiny size And I just think it's such a great value because you're not going to use this much product Anyways, if you have a large collection So the colors that i'm showing you right now is the neutral mattes milu Which is what I have on my eyes today. And you know, I got the berry look out of it I couldn't help myself, but they are literally the exact same you guys But look how cute this is. This is even more travel friendly I'm not going to touch these because i'm going to put these in my makeup kit because you can't get any more Lightweight and tiny than these so they have milu available right now for you to pick up if you're interested Let me show you what else we have This one is the one that I almost recommend the most the editorial bright Just to have in your collection if you ever are in need of really bright colors, this is going to be perfect It's not going to break the bank, but you get the highest of high quality vibrant colors There's a white in here so you can turn these into more pastel shades So this one to me is the one I almost recommend the most because I think It adds so much value to your collection. And again, it's just a great deal They also have the warm available to you guys as well So the petite mattes warm is going to look like this if you like a nice basic matte warm eyeshadow look And then you can maybe use one of those individual shimmers in your collection that I know you aren't using or reaching for enough This is perfect as well. So I've been so excited about these I haven't purchased them for myself because I'm a crazy lady and owned the $80 versions But if I could go back if these existed before the $80 versions existed I would have purchased these. These are amazing. They're the best mattes I always say this muse always will have the best deals on visi art I bought probably 90 of my visi art collection myself out of pocket from muse beauty pro So these are like the best value ever period $40 is great for the quality that you're getting because I paid $80 for it And with an additional 20% off if you're gonna leave us something you got to leave with at least one of those So those are all of the new new muse Let's get into some of my older tried and truths Starting off with what is my makeup kit and it is going to be the isam pro makeup kit bag I've showed this in numerous videos before I have an in-depth tour of my Makeup kit where I store most of it in this isam bag right here This is like a must have for organizing a lot of makeup Like I said, I carry so much stuff in there for my makeup kit so much I like that it has a harder shell. So it's not going to like break the makeup inside It definitely protects it. There are clear top organizers that are connected through velcro So you can reorganize them. However, you would like they're easy to clean But you can see mine has gone through some tough tough times You can see she is very well loved But I like that you can personalize what organizers you put inside the organizers help keep everything clean And you don't even need to use it for a makeup kit You can use it for at home storage using it for travel is like the best I've had a few of you tell me that you use it. Yeah for your makeup But also your toiletries and your cords and your chargers It's just great to organize anything that you're traveling with keep it at home Keep some of your hair care stuff in there skincare stuff. It's one of the best It has a nice strap so it's not uncomfortable to hold. It's nice and thick, you know For those of you who are going to end up using it for travel So this is one of my all-time favorite products from isam in terms of tools and storage I don't know how else I can sell it to you It holds my makeup kit and my mom personally has one for herself that she uses For travel and she fits a lot of crap in there. I love that one. I've been using it for so long I've talked about it in so many videos I have a whole video if you want to see everything that's inside. So that's what I recommend now this next one Is the isam brush book that brush book is my go-to for travel anytime I am traveling I take my brush book with me because it holds all of my brushes keeps everything organized and a ton of makeup And it's nice and compact throw in your suitcase Now I need to tell you a tragic story as you know, I moved across the country I left it at home and I have felt the weight of missing it. Thankfully I haven't traveled yet But when I travel I am in for a rude awakening and I'm really going to suffer the consequences because every single vacation I've taken ever since I've had that brush book is what I've used to store my makeup for travel Nothing ever breaks in there. It's just fantastic So I'm going to upload some footage that I've had from previous videos of where I've used it I've done a video where I packed for vacation using that I've talked about it in other recommendations videos This is great and it also fits perfectly by the way in the pro makeup bag that I was just talking about earlier It's the same size so it will fit right where one of the big organizers fits as well So that way you can organize your makeup even more. They go perfectly together. Yeah, I love that I'm kicking myself for leaving at my parents house and when I visit them I am snatching that up and taking it back home with me So I had to recommend that because those can run pricey But it really is such a good value because you end up using it all the time It protects all of your makeup. So it's always good to get it at a good discount Another brand that muse has that's really exciting is denessa myricks Actually, fun fact muse b pro is one of the reasons that I even discovered Denessa myricks in the first place go figure And so I've collected a few color fixes over time and these are really great versatile products So many people love them when you think of denessa myricks This is one of the products that you think of I actually used blackout today as my liquid liner But you can use these literally as eyeshadows. Um, they will blend out before you let them set So I have these three colors that I'll use as eyeshadows. They blend. They are water resistant They are transfer proof. They last forever. You can also use these on the lips. I are quite long lasting on the lips So I used to use creme brulee, which is kind of drying out. I've had it for a few years I should probably get a fresh one But I've used creme brulee on my cheeks for blush in the past So these are eyes lips face whatever you want to do with them And you know, they're great if I was even using this as eyeliner and it really is holding its own It has its own definition It was really easy to apply and it can be used as eyeshadows So these are awesome something to think about since muse I know does have a pretty good selection of these am I done yet? No, there's a lot of things that I'm constantly repurchasing from their website This is like my makeup artist secret embryo lease the late cream concentrate. This is my go-to primer for my clients I would say most people tell me that they have dry skin. This is what I use It's so lightweight, but it does intensive hydration. It's perfect for me when I see a client I can't tell them what to do with their skincare. It's too late So this is kind of my savior for getting that instant hydration But still being light enough for it to handle makeup over top. So this is great This is a giant bottle that I have I've ran through many of these and I think it's great that muse has these So I always order these when I am in need and I recommend you guys use this for your personal routine It's really good. You don't need to be a makeup artist to use it You can use this and impress your friends and be like, this is what makeup artists use because it's true That's where I learned I learned about this from makeup school. If I can get a discount I'll purchase lashes in a box. I just like the way that they are stored and the box that they come with I've worked my way through this this particular style is the number 28 These are very similar to our del wispy lashes. These are really pretty for everyday But you just get a 10 pack So this is really nice if you want some quick lashes and then of course you guys know I'm an isam fan when it comes to brushes I use quite a few today Actually when I was using the milu palette isam brushes are some of the most sturdy brushes I use them in my makeup kit I use them Personally because you can wash them a thousand times over and they're always going to come back to life and perform The same they have great shapes. I even curated a brush kit with them over the holidays The brush kit is no longer available, but the brushes individually are My brush kit contains my all-time favorite brushes from them I'm just going to rattle them off for you the x 51 for face The x 51 is where it's at the x 52 is where it's at.  It's nice and small for my smaller eyes for precision I have the w21 for shadow placement I even have it right here And then one of my very favorite small detailed brushes is the v09 highly recommend this for detail work cut creases Highlights really great. So these are my favorite brushes from isam. They are an investment But I honestly believe that brushes should be an investment because you are going to have them forever If they're good quality and they are game changers in your makeup routine But these are just a few of the things that I do recommend picking up for the sale I could probably make a two hour video of all the things that I recommend from the website for you guys That are really nice. I even pulled. I almost forgot. There are isam brow defining pencil This is really nice and tiny. It gets really great natural hair like strokes blend out really easily It's just the perfect consistency. You can't say enough good things about this. See, I'm like pooling things I'm like, but I needed to there's so many take a gander over to the website I think you can get some really good deals during the sale It's only for a limited time So good time to stock up on the stuff that you've been needing some tools Kits for travel makeup bags the whole night I also do have some muse beauty pro recommendations videos from the past as well if you want to check those out too Anyways, thank you again to muse beauty pro for sponsoring today's video and working with me As always, I'm going to promote their sales because I think they just have some really good deals and really good products That you can't pick up anywhere else. That's the isam products. You can't pick up those isam products anywhere else Okay, I'm going to stop talking now. I could go on forever. Thank you guys for watching Let me know if you pick up anything from this sale. What are you planning on picking up? It is worth it.

I guys have a good one


So good morning all. Thanks very much for joining me this morning, a bit of a rainy, wet, miserable morning, but not to worry. So last week I spoke a little bit about the changing face of Hartlepool, the demographic change in Hartlepool and this is of course down to the massively high levels of illegal immigration that are coming into the country on a daily weekly basis. We had a record number last week of 430 in one day. Now remember these are the only people coming by one channel, by the English channel, and it doesn't include overstayers or people coming in other parts of the country, people coming in in in storeways and trucks and what have you, 430 in one day. Now today I want to talk about this a little bit more and so first of all to clarify why why we're talking about this and why this is an important issue. There are two things in this. One is that you're being lied to. This is this is hugely significant. You're being lied to by the press, by the political elites, by the woke establishment, about the nature of all of this. We're being told that this is asylum and that the people coming here are refugees and it's usually Syria fleeing the war in Syria that we're told is happening here. I found a really really interesting article on Sky News this morning which I want to take you through and it is headlined what are the immigration rules and processes for people trying to claim UK asylum. It starts with a lie and I'll tell you what the what this lie is. I'll read it to you for us. It says MPs have backed a new immigration bill which will make arriving in the UK without permission a criminal offence. But what are the current rules surrounding asylum? Now just that first opening paragraph is the press lying to you. There's a couple of lies in that opening paragraph. First of all it puts immigration and asylum in the same category. A new immigration bill arriving in the UK without permission a criminal offence. But asylum is completely different. In asylum you by definition don't have permission to come. You come and claim asylum. So it's confusing different things. That's the first lie. The second lie is that it will make arriving a criminal offence. What it doesn't mention to you is that the current prosecution services already stated that they will not prosecute people under this bill. This is a what I always talk about is political theater. We are supposed to believe what's going on on the stage over here. You're supposed to fall for all this stuff. But the truth is actually behind the curtain. And the truth is that people are coming here dressed as asylum seekers pretending to be asylum seekers but actually don't fit any of the definitions. A immigration bill won't tackle it at all because the A the CPS has already stated it won't prosecute. And B there are previous immigration bills, previous laws that already allow the government to tackle this but they don't. Remember this is the conservative government and the people of Hartlepool voted enthusiastically in the parliamentary by-election for a conservative largely because they didn't want labor I suspect. The sad truth is that it's the Tories that are doing this and they are actually no different and certainly no better on this and many other crucial issues which define this country and will define it for years to come. So going down through the article says Sky News takes a look at the process an applicant must go through in a bid to be given permission to stay in the UK. If someone wants to stay in the UK as a refugee they must apply for asylum to be eligible for this. They must have left their country and be unable to return because they fear persecution and let me give you some clarity on how the law works on this. This is for an individual who can prove that their life is in danger from their own government. Do you believe for so much as a second that each of the 430 people who came here in one day last week can prove that they the individual are genuine need for asylum because they will be persecuted or their lives are at risk at the hands of their own government. They as an individual have to be able to prove this in order to be eligible for asylum and if you believe that all 430 in one day and that's just one day have proven that or were asked to prove that then I'm afraid there's an element of naivety to it. The reasons for the persecution so not only do you need to prove as an individual that you are will be persecuted by your own government the reasons for that persecution must be because of your race your religion your nationality or your political opinion so once again all 430 in one day should have been able to prove that they they not only fear persecution by the own government but that persecution was because of their race religion nationality or political opinion. Let me give you an example of someone in recent years who fits this definition you'll have heard of her perhaps her name was Asya Bibi she was a she is a Pakistani Christian she was sentenced to death by law of the land in Pakistan for insulting Muhammad but the details of the story are that a group of Muslims refused to take water from her because she was a Christian and she is alleged to have stated some remark about Muslims no one has ever been able to give the details of this it's never been detailed she was sentenced to death again by the law of the land in Pakistan she was in genuine fear for her life not even just barely the death sentence was passed so her life was under genuine threat at the hands of the state it was the state's legal infrastructure that sentenced her to death and it was based on religion she fits all of the requirements for asylum in the UK guess what happened she was refused asylum in the UK and she was refused for the unwritten and unspoken reason that she would have been no safer first of all no safer here than she was in Pakistan and the other reason perhaps even more so was that the government it was Theresa May's government that refused to asylum didn't want to upset communities in the UK and cause trouble perhaps even rioting in the streets we've seen it happen before so 430 in a day last week none of whom i guarantee will have even been asked these questions are allowed to stay here put up in hotels at taxpayers expense and yet a genuine asylum ticket who fits all the definitions was denied asylum in this country that's just one woman it goes on to say that reasons can be anything that puts you at risk because of the social cultural religious or political situation in your country and that you failed to get protection from the authorities in your own country this is very broad it's new and it's broad but once again even if it weren't nobody i guarantee you is being asked these questions so i have watched on this article a couple of videos from people who've arrived here pretending to be asylum seekers one of them was from Eritrea it seemed to be a lot of people from Eritrea bizarrely fleeing the war in Syria no idea why so many Eritreans are fleeing the war in Syria and the other from Iran and the journalists asked them were they happy to be here they said yes they speak fairly good English by the way which suggests to me that they are not on the bottom of the ladder in their own countries if they have such good English suggests to me that they're educated in fact one of them said his reason for coming here was to continue his education we are being told to believe that these people are fleeing for their lives no mention from either of the people of fleeing for their lives of risking persecution another said he's here to feed his family no mention of persecution it goes on the article goes on to say when might a claim not be considered give me a break this can be if someone is from an EU nation or has a connection with a safe third country which is where a person is not a citizen would not be harmed or from where people could be sent to another country where they could then be harmed not quite writing there many of the people so if they essentially if they have already made it to another safe country then they it says here claim will not be considered that's another lie this entire thing is a lie and i can tell you that when i studied law it's a while ago now this anything else that put you at risk was not a part of it this is new like i say so that's also quite uh it's it's a lie it's a lie the entire thing is a lie but this is this is another lie that your claim will not be considered if you have come from another safe country we know perfectly well that many people coming here across the english channel are coming from france that's a safe country i guarantee you i guarantee you that nobody is being rejected because they came from france goes on to say what about other people traveling with the applicants such as family members a partner and children aged under 18 can make their own applications at the same time or be included in the lead persons application as dependents if they are with each other in the uk none of this none of this is genuine asylum law it's not asylum laws are meant to apply to individuals this is families this is whole families we know this we know this we are being lied to over and over just in this article we're being lied to over and over again how is a claim currently registered this is done through a meeting with an immigration officer where the applicant gives information about their case that's what's supposed to happen but with the line this is a lie there is absolutely no way that every individual is sitting down and being interviewed about this stuff this process called screening takes place at the uk border as soon as someone arrives and can also happen when an applicant is already in the country if they become eligible for asylum as soon as they arrive do you believe it not in a million years is this actually happening after screening an asylum interview is held if an applicant fails to attend an application is usually rejected again that is a lie it's not a lie that that's what's supposed to happen it's a lie that that is what happens it simply isn't true when it's a decision made normally within six months but can take longer in some cases due to personal circumstances and verification reasons if an applicant qualifies for asylum they can be given permission to stay in the uk five years and then apply to settle in the country permission to stay can be granted for humanitarian reasons even if someone does not qualify for asylum which means they can remain in the country for their own protection can you see what's happening here this is a mixture of truth and lies what's supposed to happen as I say partly true what does happen complete or not a lie and even if even if they do go through the process which they jumped if and if they did and they failed to qualify they can still stay in the country regardless so why would the public sector go through all the hassle of a six month long process of gathering information on an individual who is required to prove they fear persecution because of their race or nationality or religion if they're going to stay anyway even if they fail in the part they don't they wouldn't bother with a six month process and they don't bother with a six month process I guarantee you I promise you that everyone who comes in through this the interest channel and beyond stays no questions asked I guarantee it you will be told that if you object to this you have you are heartless do not fall for this guilt tripping I wish people well I really do the answer to the world's problems the answer to poverty in the third world for example has never in the past been to move everyone to western countries that was not the answer in the past and it's not the answer today either this is not about asylum this is not about heartlessness it is about borderlessness it is about transforming the UK beyond all recognition it is about weakening its culture weakening its identity and turning the people from British people into worker bees in a non-descript piece of land where they have no identity no unity no shared heritage no shared culture they're just taxpayer they just go out work and pay your taxes and shut up that's the message do not fall for it I do not accept it and I ask uh people who intend to stand for for Britain and we've had several people stand in by elections lately and I want to thank them for it to know this very clearly and to communicate this with the public very very clearly and to tell them also clearly that it is not a matter of being heartless it is a matter of wanting to protect our own society if we really want to help people from other countries we can stop defending sanitizing funding the very states that people actually do sometimes need to flee from for example Pakistan we can put our money if our governments really want to help people it's not about helping people believe me it's about destroying us if they really wanted to help people they could instead of giving foreign aid to warlords and criminal gangs all over Africa and the Middle East they could give it to human rights organizations they could give it to people fighting against oppression and tyranny in their own countries and they could the people coming from those countries could in fact instead of just coming here and wanting the British taxpayer to fund fund you perhaps even for the rest of your life make your own country better if the whole world comes here we will no longer be a place worth coming to we can see already what mass immigration has done to this and other countries and one of the examples I have just talked about is asia bb no safer here than in Pakistan how can that be if this continues there will be no safe havens left and the west will no longer be a free and safe place it'll no longer be desirable I want to tell you another story something that caught my eye this morning that I have to share with you because it is so staggeringly shocking that I simply need to tell you about it and I remember when I was campaigning in harley pool for the elections in May I spoke to a person who told me that social services in this town are shall we say not necessarily doing what needs to be done in the best interests of people they are supposed to be caring for it's my firm belief and this person had experience of it and actually if she's watching please get in touch with me again it's my firm belief my firm belief that social workers social services all over this country are betraying and destroying the lives of people who they are meant to be caring for they do this for various reasons there is incompetence there is laziness but there is also political ideology at play I want to share a story with you from the from yesterday from the 27th of July and the headline is this social worker attended wedding of terrified girl 15 to her abusers carers turned a blind eye when teenage grooming victim was forced into an Islamic marriage just take one or two minutes to get your head around that one not only did this teenage girl fall victim to a grooming gang social workers turned a blind eye to this grooming gang abuse and then to rub salt in all kinds of wounds when they forced this child a child to 15 years old forced her into an Islamic marriage with one of her abusers a social worker attended the wedding and we go on this is from Bradford but believe me this is now going to happen in every town which is now home to mass migration from the very same societies that the grooming gangs in Bradford Leeds Rotherham Oxford Telford you name it very same societies the very same attitudes are now coming in under the guise of asylum so I worry that we will soon see such activities here in Hartlepool and in fact I don't doubt it and in any other in many other towns across the country that is receiving on the receiving end of this mass immigration dressed up as asylum so this one's from Bradford but this is all of us in the future social workers in Bradford turned a blind eye when a 15 year old grooming victim took part in an Islamic marriage to one of her took part in don't you love that to one of her abusers a damning report revealed yesterday despite the teenager not coming from a Muslim background professionals meant to protect her then allowed the parents of her quote husband to foster her after she became pregnant it just gets worse and worse first of all a statutory rape she's pregnant at 15 crying then they allowed the family of this statutory rapist and and it means not just statutory rape either is my firm guess allowed the family to foster her so let me get this straight they acknowledged that she's a child because they allowed to be fostered they're nothing about the fact that she's pregnant at 15 which is illegal know that she was victim of a grooming guy and then one of them went to the wedding you you sometimes sometimes I am lost for words it goes on the terrified girl referred to as Anna was left in a state of domestic slavery too scared to leave the controlling relationship for fear she would be the victim of an honor killing details emerged yesterday in an independent report into the treatment of five abuse victims in the West Yorkshire city over the past two decades which found that children suffered abuse no child should have to experience alarmingly it concluded that youngsters in Bradford remain unprotected from sex exploitation keep an eye out for a special video from me about this report next week I'm going to go through it in some detail and tell you more about it in a video next week but I genuinely you know you think you you honestly think you've heard it all and I have interviewed I had a extensive report on grooming gangs in this country and spoke to many of its survivors and you think you've heard everything but a social worker going to the wedding of a 15 year old is just almost too much to take have a look out for a video from me on this report next week okay good news to end with is that there is a apparently businesses in Hartlepool particularly in the hospitality sector looking for staff which is good news so if you are in Hartlepool and you are looking for work there are jobs going let me just get to see if there are any details on there's a movie about it in the Hartlepool mail they're offering the Hartlepool mail is offering to help match candidates with jobs so have a look at on the Hartlepool mail for that so if you're in if you're

lied to about this asylum stuff we need people also to know and a lot of people in towns who haven't been affected for example like Hartlepool or like Bradford has they need to know that they have to stop this before this happens and that it will happen if we don't stop it there are small towns villages even across europe i know of a few in ireland and over a few in germany small small towns and villages where young native girls have already fallen victim to grooming gangs and rape gangs and the kinds of horrors that i've just described stop it prevent it don't allow it to happen first and it may be controversial to say it it may be even frightening to say it but it needs to be said someone needs to say it because it's the truth thanks very much for joining me everyone i shall see you at

Hi there, it's Sandy Olnok, and today I'm going to talk a bit about Dry Brush, which is a watercolor technique that's used by more advanced watercolors, and I'm going to be using a stamp set from Honey Bee. It has some Valentine's sentiments in it, but it's also got plenty to be used year round. And with Easter coming, this seemed like another good one to add to the Bunny Series this week, so this is the second of my rabbit videos for the week. I'm making a 5x7 card, because when you're doing a watercolor scene, you're actually painting a watercolor scene, it's not like Copic Markers where you can get into tiny details. So I tend to want to make a bigger card if I'm going to use a full scene and do anything other than generic trees in the background, that kind of thing. So this is a 5x7, and I stamped it in a Distress ink, and this one is Antique Linen on some rough watercolor paper, so I can get some good texture. And Dry Brush works best with texture, because what Dry Brush is, is when you take the brush and you skip it across the surface of the paper, when you've got highs and lows in the paper, then you can skip across it and get all kinds of interesting textures. I won't be employing that here in the painting of the rabbits though, because with the rabbits I'm just trying to put some color in and get them painted, and typically I tend to try to paint the scene first and then paint whatever the main item is, but in this particular case I wanted to leave it in the misty in order to have the option to do one little detail piece at the end. So even if you're not into doing full scenes and things on your watercolors, this might be a little tip that you will enjoy anyway. So I've painted a couple layers into the bunnies, started with some yellow ochre, and then dropped in some darker mix of color in the shadow areas, and did some lifting by rinsing and drying the brush, not fully drying, drying it pretty well, and then lifting color off to get those soft blends on the edges. With this red scooter that they're riding, I painted it first, and while it was still wet, I dropped in a mix of a darker red color that was also thicker. If you drop in a mix that's thinner, it's going to just run into everything and bleed all over the place. If the mix you're dropping in is thicker than the paint that's already on the paper, it'll stay a little bit more toward whatever shadow side, so you're going to get something that looks more dimensional. With the tires of the little scooter, I decided not to paint all the way to the bottom of them, because I want it to look like they're riding in dirt, so I wanted to have some brown down there, and when you look at any tire on the road, you basically see a little flat bottom on them, that's just the way tires work, and I wanted to make it look like they were riding on something rather than floating above it. The other parts of the scooter I made in gray, and if I got it a little too dark, I wanted to dab off a little bit with either paper towel or baby wipe or something, and now we have the finished scooter. Well, here is the tip for the beginners. If you want to use this one, you're welcome to it. I'm going to use a distress marker to put the eyes and the whiskers and the noses back in, and that way I can have the image stamped and re-stamp it in the same place using the MISTI, and then take it off and put it on my board in order to do the whole scene. Since I knew I was going to have a lot of water everywhere, I taped the whole thing down, and that sort of thing. I'm going to sketch real quickly some of the lines of this and just divide it into sectors. I'm going to have a fence in the background, two trees on the left, a house on the right hand side, and then I got to figure out where the grass is going to start as well as these little stairs that are going to go up to the front of the house, and then we'll have a roof, a roof line coming down at an angle, maybe even throw in a window into the house itself, and I'm keeping the lines really minimal and really light because as I paint, I can change that up all that I want to. Because it's light pencil lines, they'll not really completely disappear, but they can be hidden by everything else that I paint. So then I've got the strip of grass leading up to the fence, and I'm ready to start my painting. To do the fence, I was thinking about using the yellow ochre again, which is the same color I used with the rabbits, but I didn't want it to feel like it was the same as the rabbits. So I switched it and added in some of the new gamboche just to brighten it up a little bit, change the color of it, and I'm using a different brush notice for this background. When I do large areas, I find that using a bigger brush is going to help, and in this particular case, it's one of my fine art brushes. Fine art brushes just paint a little differently, a little bit better, and I can get better coverage with them and better dry brush with them. So you can practice with whatever brushes you have to see if you can get some of that dry brush or in this particular case, a little wet and wet as well. So I'm painting the grass while the fence is still wet so that the little bits of the grass that are right there by the bottom of the fence start to move up into the fence and it starts to look like the tops of the grass and it looks very natural as opposed to trying to paint every little strand of grass. And if you want to stop it right where it is, then by all means just grab a pecan and zap it so that it doesn't go further than it is right now, which is what I did. And then I still have some green in my brush so when I painted my sky, my sky has a little bit of green in it, so I'm going to add some cobalt just to make sure it feels more blue. But there's going to be a bunch of things in the sky so I'm not too worried about it. I just wanted something to feel like there were clouds and some happy blue in there. And I didn't want it to feel like there was nothing behind the bunny's ears. I wanted it to feel like the sky had continued right across. So I did paint carefully around the ears a little bit in order to get that continuity across the sky. Dabbed off a little bit extra just to make sure that I didn't have too much color there. Everything dries back about 30% so you can always remember that when you're doing watercolor. You don't have to worry too much about trying to keep everything as light as you might want it. So here is the first little bit of dry brush, which is the fence. And I've mixed up a thicker color. It's kind of like the dark bunny color, maybe a little bit more of the yellow ochre than a brown in it. And I'm just using a dry brush technique with my silver brush. And I switched to the silver brush because it's smaller. When I'm trying to do small stuff, the big brushes don't tend to work all that well. The silver brushes have a little more snap to them so a lot of times I'll switch to them for smaller details. And now I'm going to paint across the ground where the bunnies are riding with, again, that same color that I had mixed up for the fence, for all that dry brush on the fence. And I'm going to try to just keep it a little bit loose if I can leave any small areas of white. It's always helpful to be able to leave just some flex here and there. And it feels more like watercolor when there's some of the fresh white paper showing. So then I mixed a thicker color. Again, I didn't want it to be thin because the thin would just run out into all of that dirt. And I wanted a shadow under the scooter. So I put some there and also just a couple strokes here and there into the rest of the dirt so that there would be a little variation in it. And it wouldn't be all just one color, that kind of thing. Give it just a little slight bit of dimension. And it also gives enough color right around those puffs of smoke at the back of the scooter that it starts to help them to show up more. Next is going to be the house. And I added a little bit more of a reddish color to that. So it would be in the same browns family, but it'll have a little bit of burnt sienna in it, which is going to make the house feel a little bit different. I didn't want every color in the universe in my painting. So usually, even when I start using something like a burnt sienna and I introduce it, I will add some of the other colors that are already in the painting so that there's some relation of all the colors to each other. So it might have a little bit of the yellow ochre in it, or I might put some of the other browns, that sort of thing in it. And then while this is still wet, haven't dried it in a while, I'm going to start painting all the bushes and greenery down here at the bottom. I wanted this to feel very nondescript down here. It's not important to the painting. It's just a little scene setter. So with my nice wide brush, I'm just making some very loose brushstrokes, leaving, again, a little of those flicks of white at the top just to allow some of the paint to mix in with the things that are above it and leaving some air spaces as well. And then I'll mix an even darker brown or darker red, darker green with a little bit of brownish in it, just a couple of different colors to throw into the grassy area so it has a little variation. And now it's time to dry everything for the next step. I tend to dry when I get to a place where I don't want the next thing to bleed into something else. And I was going to work on the trees and I didn't want them to bleed into the fence or into the sky. So I got out my nice... This is one of my nice brushes, my Sables, I think it's a number eight, Kolinsky. And it makes really thin lines and it makes really thick lines. So I was trying to demonstrate that for you, even though I wanted bigger, heavier tree trunks to the picture. And I'm going to create a little bit of negative painting around the bottom so that I end up with something that looks like it's tucked into the grass. There's little grasses in front of it. And then comes the tree, just some loose painting of the tree with all the different greens that are left in the palette, just a mess of whatever's there, leaving some dry brush open spaces. And if you're using... If you're used to using your hot press paper all the time, you won't get that kind of a dry brush effect, like you will with a rough paper. So the rough paper has valleys and peaks to it and when the brush skips across and doesn't let anything into some of those valleys, that's when it creates these little open spaces and this texture. So I'm going to add a whole bunch more little details around certain edges of the tree, not every single bit of it. And those who have taken my trees class will understand what I mean when I start talking about just choosing a few areas, not making every bit of the tree the same amount of detail and picking different kinds of greens to just drop in, wet and wet. And it makes that tree feel very alive and very unique and different instead of just feeling like I've taken a Copic marker and tried to blend it all perfectly. Watercolor is not all that great for little tiny details. It does better with big brush strokes, with big moves, not with little fine details. And there are moments when it can, you saw on coloring the stamp itself, that it's possible. But if you put that much detail into everything in a scene like this, no one is going to know where to look. So as long as I keep everything else in the scene, kind of generic and open and big spaces and big brush moves, then all the focus gets to go to those little bunnies. The place where my eye goes is to the pop of red for one, which is why I'm not putting red anywhere else, as well as the detail where the little bunnies are sitting on that very dark seat. Anywhere that draws your tension tends to be where your very light colors are right next to your very dark colors. And that creates such a contrast that you start to look there automatically. The house started feeling very light and it felt like the same kind of color as the bunnies. So I wanted to add more to it. So I added another layer of color to it, which with watercolors is something you can do very easily, just paint right over top of it. I was considering putting maybe some bricks in it and started working on that, but realized now I really just wanted the base of that house to be darker first and then add a texture to it. And the texture is gonna be very generic as well. It's not going to be very tight. I wanted it to stay loose, but making it darker helped to make the steps appear to be part of that same shape and made the shape less important.  So I wanted the house to start to feel like it. It was disappearing. It was just a big shape rather than a detailed element. And when I started putting in the steps, those got nice and dark. And I really liked the darkness of those in contrast to the darkness of the wheels and that tree trunk in the back. And then took that same dark brownish black color and started adding into the house some bricks, just loose shapes, not trying to paint every little brick in there. If you try to do that, you'll drive yourself crazy and you'll draw all kinds of attention to the house. So once it dries, that's going to become more of just a single shape with some little dark variations in it and not much more. And then a little more dry brush on the bottom here with the grasses and just skipping the brush over top of it to add texture to certain areas not everywhere. Like Mother Nature doesn't do everything in an even way.  So now we take the tape off, which is always the magic moment of reveal. And there is my finished card. And I stamped Bonjour on to it because I have been watching a French Village. If anybody else has been watching it, please let me know in the comments. I've just started almost through season one, I think. And it's really good, but it's in French and I'm remembering all the French that I once learned back in the day. And my card has a bunch of card stock layers on it, including the inside. So don't forget to make the inside special as well. And that's about it for me. I think I've talked really fast through this one, but hopefully you learned something along the way. And I will see you again with one more bunny this week. I'll see you later, bye-bye.
