I like the way you let the paint do its thing. I would have been annoyed at all the texture if it were me, but then again, I'm still learning and this is very encouraging. Thank you.

would have preferred to see the paints and consistency used instead of just you narrating them

Love the red and blue I’m going to try using this idea I can see it will be so helpful in deepening my skill in learning values

Really loved your videos so calming and very informative.

Beautiful ❤. I love this technique it gives the painting so much movement . Flowing color really fascinates me .

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing. Love your explanations of your process too

FYI, the word is "gradation" - no i.

My favorite style. You are a truly gifted artist. Virtually 1 perfect brush for most of the piece. Genius!

Such beautiful work. Do you have copies of your reference drawings available for download? Would love to recreate her powerful face. Thank you!

BRAVO 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 😊

Two of my favorite colors. And they make a wonderful black when combined. You’re very talented. I’m going to try water colors. Worked in oils then acrylics , the later of which I still use for paintings on canvas. KZbin videos are inspiring me to try watercolors.

I’m enjoying your videos. What’s the creaky sounds? Your chair?

Awesome! I have to go paint now, thank you.

I like your approach to watercolor.....and the result.

I’d love to see you remake this video with burnt sienna and ultramarine, you can get the darks you like in paynes grey but you also have the muted blue/orange fabulousness to add. Nice vid. Best to you🌸

breath taking. I love your confidence, whitch is key, your so truthful when admitting you would of used different colour, ""its not the end of the world, "" love that ...... oh your door may need some oil.😊

I love your channel ❤ I‘m new to watercolor painting and to painting in general but I love it. Can I please try to attempt this? It may not be as good but i love this type of whimsical style painting

The beautiful voice and honesty in your words makes my heart warm and watery

These are so beautiful

Beautifully done.. You really captured the feel and look of this gorgeous bird.. I love it and learnt a lot .. Much appreciated Thankyou 🙏🏻💫

Your layering is exquisite

Oh my god. Just watched again. Your words………

Wow wow wow ❤

It looks to me you made a mistake under the neck of the bird. I don’t like abstract paints. I ‘d go for realism. Keep working. Eventually you will improve!

oh, you are using XL... those are awful 😅 they are beginner, as in very beginner grade that gives a false idea of student grade. as I got to study watercolor in an art academy, my teacher advised me not to use XL unless I want wet on dry technique but I still wouldn't get even paint on wide areas and wet on wet is just no. the colors start moving around and bleed easily as you keep adding layers, it's awful. now as for strathmore, it's better, but more expensive than it should. but if I had to advise what beginners should by for watercolor, I'd say hahnemuhle harmony cold pressed or rough texture. even baohong on aliexpress is better if you're on a budget. I have both and was disappointed when I tried using watercolor on them again after perfecting my skills, so now I keep them for gouache only, since gouache works on pretty much any thick paper.

Finding the patience to allow a painting to completely dry-- been looking for that for a long time…smile…very much enjoying your work.

Glad to have found your channel…. Thank you for your careful descriptions….

Painting the planet Mars these two colours would be ideal.

I don't think the white/gray was needed, that said it was a great picture and has given me an idea of where I could go. I tend to paint trying to get a realistic rendering but I can see it's not necessarily needed. Thank you. I need to loosen up.😁🎨🖌️

So is it worth it if you want the best all around paper to get arches?

Its Shmink-E and Hole-Bine’ it’s embarrassing to see so-called professional artist not pronouncing correctly materials that are hundreds of years old. It’s embarrassing.

Stunning! Thanks for sharing! ☺️

Fabulous 💙💚🖤

Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing ❤️

I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again. You’re a fabulous artist and teacher. Bring on the Patreon! 👏🏻👏🏻

Absolutely beautiful. I really like how you use layers in your watercolor. That’s something I would like to learn. Thanks for sharing your work

Beautiful!

How do you stretch your paper and on what type board do you stretch it?

Beautiful and very relaxing. I needed this ❤

I think you are a brilliant artist 👏🏻👏🏻 Thanks for sharing 😊

Concrete and nice explanation, thanks. I discovered* granulated paints a couple of weeks ago just as you say because the media is bombarding with the "classic" watercolor style. The best decision ever. It's so fun to paint with them. Some come pre-mixed and you get two or more colors in one brushstroke. Great videos!

Precioso 😍

This is lovely, and a new perspective for me. After the first layer dried, and you started the second layer, did you let that dry or just keep painting wet on wet? This part wasn't clear to me. Thanks so much!

I just love your art. There is something soft and soothing about both your painting and your voice. Thank you.Looking forward to the next one ❤

Very beautiful. I would really love to see and would send you some 100% cotton paper to see your technique on decent paper. That Canson XL doesn't deserve you!

Holbein has such a different character to it, while other colors give the character of nature, earth and the „known“ . but just slight green to it and it gives the feeling of „unknown“ something between man and world, as you perfectly described „old buildings, rusted locks etc. seeing such visual and stark differences in colors I wish i had the space and money to own every Brands and every color, but till then thanks to amazing artists 😊like you who can show us the beauty of watercolor.

Hi Kathy, Based on you being skilled at working in layers, have you ever considered painting with Egg Tempera? I was taught by Flavia Zortea, a professor at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh, who had us build up 7 - 10 layers using egg yoke as medium - then use a technique I have never seen demonstrated anywhere - REMOVE layers using egg white. Each layer would dissolve one at a time, and you could drill down through 3 - 7 layers to expose vibrant lighter underpainting colors from beneath your darker top layers. It created a hard to describe shimmering effect. If you like watercolors you may love Egg Tempera! See Andrew Wyeth’s ‘Christina’s World’

Really love these birds! Love your style of layering! 😊❤. Would love more birds because, well, I love birds! 🐦‍⬛

Great❤❤❤
