Have you ever thought of editing your vids BEFORE you post?

Very helpful 👍🏻

This was an excellent tutorial. No one else is able to explain wet/dry, and how to achieve the techniques the way you do. Thank you so much. I'm saving this for future reference

Thank you for this wonderful tutorial, Shelley. So thorough and so much good advice and good examples. Going to have to try this.

Thank you, i really enjoyed this demo. Wow, beautiful

Excellent demo sharing a subject for which I would never have reached. I'm always impressed by how your painting improves on the ref photo. 👏 👏👏

I'll love to see a demo on branches and leafs reflected on water.I live by a river and will like to TRY to paint something like that

Missed the live session today but really enjoyed this demo. It was timely because I’m about to start something like this. Thank you for all you do!

This is so very very amazing I love this

Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson! You are a fantastic teacher and give great rationale and reasoning behind what and how to do something. This helps so much in understanding the process and techniques you are showing. I’ve learned so much from watching your lessons. I look forward, with much anticipation, to watching your live weekly. Again, thank you. ❤️

This demo was SO helpfull! Has a beginner, I struggle with the « where do I start ? » so many times . Thank you so much 😊

I have been looking for a discussion of this topic for a few years. Thanks!

Thank you, for again, a great tutorial Shelley 😊 Please don’t feel to bad about the unexpected outcome regarding the effects caused by the masking fluid because that makes this tutorial extra useful, in the way that as students we can see what point our attention on AND also it’s kinda relief that also master pro’s bump into unexpected results. 😊

Once again a great tutorial. I learned so much, 🙏 Shelley

Thank you so much!❤

Hi! I am From Ukraine. Thank you!

Thanks for the demo Shelley. When I first started painting I read several watercolor books and it was suggested to paint a symbol for a tree rather than the actual type of tree. So that's what I did. After a few years into painting I'm seeing that there is a lack of diversity and textures not only in my landscape paintings but I see it in many others as well. All the trees look alike! It's like a light bulb went on during your demo.

Shelly, Sounds is great! Thank you for the lessons! Enjoy your teaching! Live I in Arizona!!❤❤❤

A very good demo with great info. I really enjoyed it. North Carolina, USA

YES! The drawing sketching process is SO important for me as a beginner and so many teachers race through it without explaining or they do it before the video! WTH? So thank you Shelley. You are the best teacher who knows exactly what to describe and comment on. Your videos are extremely valuable and helpful. You are very patient and generous in sharing your talents. 🙏🧑‍🎨💃

Childproof lids are great but not on art stuff, had to cut my Gum Arabic container open in order to use it and then place what was left in glass jars.

Definitely making myself a smash brush 😃

Thank you very much for this video. My granddaughter wants a grassy picture and I was stumped. This has helped me.😊

Disappointing that the pink did not show up in the final painting 😢

It was so good. Thank you.

You are such a great artist and teacher Shelley. I wish you had a Patreon page with even more tutorials. Love how long your videos are. No rushing like other teachers tend to do. You explain everything and describe your colors. Makes me want to learn because you take me through it clearly. 🙏🧑‍🎨

Thank you Shelley!! I’ll practice…

I am so intimidated by trees, I avoid landscapes as much as possible, but your demonstration has helped to mystify it for me. Just the basic information of take your time and notice the shapes inside a tree.

Thank you for this interesting demo! An exercise to try absolutely ! I have a suggestion for autumn: a still life with apples 🍎 or other fruits, I know that in Ontario you also have the harvest of peaches, blue grapes etc... If ever this idea inspires you obviously! Maybe more feasible for one of your Zoom workshops, it doesn't matter to me, I’m interested !

I love your lessons. I am going to practice this tomorrow. Trees are always stressful to do. Just when I think that my painting looks pretty good, I mess it up with a horrible tree. Thanks so much. I am hoping to linkup with you at a workshop in the next year. Why don’t you come to Thunder Bay?😊

I still think one of the most important things you show is how wet the paper is and then how wet your brush is! Nobody told me to make sure my brush is dryer than the paper or when to dry your brush a little.

I missed you again! As you are doing trees, CAN I SEND A PICTURE? I've a photograph cut out of a very old magazine, of an ancient beech forest in beautiful autumnal copper tones caught in a low misty sunrise. It's in Dorset, England. I've failed to get anywhere with it. I would love to send the image somehow - It's only a small cut out, it's so beautiful, I can't throw it out.

I love to do trees. This is wonderful.

Ahhhh Poop! I missed it!

Thanks, very helpful

Thanks for this demo on trees. So helpful!

Thank you so much for taking the time to inpart your amazing painting. I certainly learned a lot!

You do glass paintings??? Off I go down another rabbit hole..... Love the video thanks😀

I am COMMENT NUMBER 100!!!!! Bwaahaahaahaaaaaaa

Thank you.

You are the FIRST person to tell me to make sure your brush is dryer than the surface is to give you control. IMMEDIATE differences! Everybody else is like BLOP BLAP BLEEP!?! There.... LOL! I was Soooo impressed I immediately bought on of your classes! Impressive! Ever thought of Patreon???

Montréal

Could you share the brush brand that you use

I use ox gall liquid added to my water to prewet an area in preparation for wet-in-wet painting. I live in an arid climate and the water dries too quickly. Adding this in allows me to work a little longer. I really like it.

You touch on all the subjects a beginner really needs- thank you so much for your long and generous tutorial videos! Love the long ones, and so glad you are not one of the ‘speed up “ video teachers. 🙏

Hello Shelley, thank you for all your very inspiring videos. One great advice an artist once gave on Utube was never give away your paintings, they won't be appreciated. However, they will be appreciated and cherished if paid for, albeit, if only in buyer's lifetime.

A painting goal of mine…. Thank you.
