Hi everyone.
I wanted to share a quick update. I haven’t been posting on YouTube lately because I’ve been going through a difficult period with how I’m feeling. This time of year is always a bit challenging for me, and this season has been especially heavy, so I’m taking some intentional time to rest and reset.

You may have seen me active on Instagram or Facebook, and while I’ve tried to keep some things going, that doesn’t always reflect what’s actually happening behind the scenes. Posting there has been easier for me than creating full videos, but even so, it’s been a stretch.

I’m not new to navigating these kinds of lows, and I work on my well-being every day, but right now I need to step back and focus on getting grounded again. I appreciate your understanding and patience, and I look forward to coming back when I’m in a better place.

Thank you for being here.

☔✨ After the storm, the earth remembers in color.
I loved swatching the After Rain Set from Rabbit’s Hat Handmade Watercolors 🌧️🎨💙
This earthy, moody, handmade palette completely stole my heart.

✨ My full swatch + review video premieres tomorrow at 11:45 AM — hope you’ll join me!

🎨 A Truly Lovely Experience with Phoenix Watercolors 🌈

I’m so happy to share that I recently had the chance to try out some wonderful products from Phoenix Arts—and it’s been such a joy from the very first swatch!

The team at Phoenix kindly reached out and offered to send me a few of their products to explore and review. They sent their 24-color Artist Grade Watercolor Half-Pan Set and their beautifully crafted Watercolor-Stretched Canvas—and I’ve now had the chance to spend real time with both.

🖌️ The Watercolors:
This set includes 24 rich, vibrant, and beautifully transparent colors that blend like a dream. The pigments are finely ground for a smooth finish, and they dissolve effortlessly with water—perfect for delicate washes, layered glazes, or more expressive techniques. I really appreciated how clean and luminous the colors stayed, even when mixing. And they’re non-toxic (AP-certified), so they’re safe for all kinds of creators.

🖼️ The Watercolor Canvas:
This one genuinely surprised me—in the best way. It’s made from 100% cotton and comes pre-primed with a triple-layer of watercolor gesso, so it’s ready to go straight out of the box. It absorbs water beautifully, holds pigment well, and doesn’t buckle or warp like paper sometimes can. I also love that you can display the piece as-is when it’s done—no need to frame behind glass!

💬 Swatch Video & Painting Demo:
I had a great time swatching the entire watercolor set, and that video is going live today (August 2)! You’ll be able to see each color in action and how they interact with one another. And then on Saturday, August 9, I’ll be sharing a full painting demonstration using the watercolor canvas—I’m so excited for you to see how the materials perform together!

✨ A Huge Thank You:
I just want to take a moment to genuinely thank the team at Phoenix Arts for their kindness and generosity—not just for sending the products, but for being so warm and encouraging throughout this process. It means the world to me to be able to create with materials that feel both professional and accessible, and I’m truly honored to share them with you all.

Can’t wait for you to see the videos, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I’ve enjoyed making them. 💛

Thank You for Your Patience and Support 💙

Hey everyone, I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for your patience and understanding while I handled some difficult personal matters.

My mom’s procedure was a success, and she’s feeling a lot better! She was dealing with internal bleeding, and because she’s on a blood thinner, we had to go through several careful steps before the procedure could happen. After getting clearance from the cardiologist, everything was scheduled and took place on Tuesday. She is now home and recovering well, though still under observation after restarting her medication on Friday. There was a big risk of a blood clot, but I think—and really hope—that risk has passed.

Unfortunately, on Friday, her brother passed away, and I had to find the best way to give her the news while making sure it wouldn’t affect her too much, given her heart condition. Right now, my focus has been on supporting her through this loss while also making sure she’s taking care of herself.

With all of this happening, I won’t lie—I’m feeling completely exhausted and emotionally drained. But I did manage to film this Saturday’s video, even if my energy is a bit low. I hope you all still enjoy it!

Thank you again for your kindness, patience, and support. It truly means the world. 💙

Hey everyone, I just wanted to share a quick update on my mom’s health. She is stable, and we’ve received approval from the cardiologist for her procedure, which is scheduled for March 25th. Hopefully, everything goes smoothly.

I just want to say a huge thank you for all your support, kind words, and encouragement. It truly means the world to me. Knowing I have such a caring community makes a big difference. 💕

I’ll keep you updated, and in the meantime, please keep her in your thoughts. Thank you again—I appreciate you all so much! 💖

Dear friends,

I wanted to take a moment to share something personal with you. My mom has recently taken ill, and as she is in her 80s, things feel a bit more delicate and complicated. She is scheduled to have a procedure soon, and I will know more details by Monday.

During this time, my priority is to be by her side, supporting her and making sure she knows she’s not alone. Because of this, I won’t be able to release a new video for the next couple of weeks. If things change and I’m able to create sooner, I will, but for now, I need to focus on my mom and being present with her.

I truly appreciate your understanding, patience, and support. You all mean so much to me, and I am grateful for this wonderful community. I hope to be back soon, and until then, please take care.

With gratitude,
Sundayberries ♥

It's 4am and I am still trying to get my video processed in PremierPro. It has been a difficult one to edit, since it was so long, and the video itself is little over two hours. So expect a long tutorial, but I hope it is worth it. The first processing of the video didn't do the final part. Not sure why. I am hoping this round will get it through. Crossing fingers. However, I think this one will also be a video that will take a long time to upload to Youtube, if this processing with PremierPro actually works, otherwise... not sure. But, if all goes well, I still have to upload it and at this rate, I don't think it will happen tomorrow (Monday) So, I am just going with flow and not getting upset over the delay. Instead, trying to look at it with a nice perspective of it will happen when it will. Not before and not after. Anyway, I just wanted to update you on the video status and what's going on. Much love, and see you soon! ♥

Hello everybody! I wanted to give you an update on my health. I am feeling much better, and today I have started to film this upcoming Sunday tutorial, which I hope is going to be a lot of fun! While my breathing is still, lets say, so so, I think I should be good to go for this one. If by any chance I am unable to finish editing for Sunday, the tutorial will then come out on Monday, but I am sure aiming for my regular Sunday upload! Thank you so much for all your patience. ♥♥♥ I really do appreciate each and everyone of you! ♥♥♥ In the meantime, start getting ready your colors, brushes, paper or sketchbook because this upcoming video (I hope) will be a fun one! ♥♥♥
