Thankyou for your very useful ideas.👍

Great recap of some excellent tips. Wishing you a great 2025 Steve!

Stuh- Ning! 🇨🇦😘

What a beautiful painting Everything you said is true and I'm just a beginner...! I'm guilty of 12 colors and want your Maimeriblu set lucky me i can't afford them yet HAHA!

That dried gouache palette and the masked painting are DEF videos I missed and am going to now. Thanks for the recap Steve, I wish all my channels did this! 🏃‍♂️

Where might we get the bamboo stick? Wonderful video thank you!!

Great video Steve, so good to see a brief wrap up of some of your most useful tips! Would love to see this every year!

I use them on fabric. I love Inktense!

Thank you so much for this. Most of these are videos that I go back to over and over again to watch and learn. Can’t wait to see what you have for this year.‼️

👏👏❤❤☘☘❤❤🍀🍀👏👏I believe in the beauty and magic of colors

Hullo Steve, a sweet collection of techniques and videos from your library or videos! Thank you for gathering them up for your viewers! Have a wonderful day!

Oh hey, a Greatest Hits video! Cool! And Thanks!

Vivian Maier's self portrait in the beginning. A great street photographer from bygone days.

Nice one to start the year with. Happy new year to you and yours!

What a wonderful artist you are. Some of your videos I missed, so thanks for sharing all from last year, tips. You have been helping me on my journey as an artist in the country of central NC. Thank you!

Blessings 💞🙏

Blessings steve in this new year, I feel like I took a crash course in art school with this video.😊

You always pack so much information in your videos. Thank you so much for this extra packed one :D

I live in the northwest and near the coast we have many forests with trees like this. I’ve always been fascinated and wanted to paint them. Thank you Steve, love this!

My first thought was in order to make any of these techniques work, you need to know WHERE to put the shadows, etc. To this beginner, I think that's key

You have reminded me, about tone and values. This is quite important . Thankyou

Dear Mr. Mitchell, I’ve spent the past month with you as my constant companion. I’ve gone through every video multiple times; first, to enjoy your beautiful work; second, to try to understand the principles you’ve gently taught; and third, to hear the nuance of technique and vision you’ve helped me to understand. I thank you from my heart’s bottom for your “company,” your positive vibe, and for sharing your wealth of experience, talent and skill. You’ve opened a new world for me.

Thanks again Steve for sharing your talent! And thanks for the ending "note"!

Thanks for the review. I did learn from this....

Steve, you know I’ve been around for a long time and I love the way that you teach. Thank you so much for all your hard work.😊

This is a really cool idea! 😊

Really cool, thanks!

I have used Microns for years, but my arthritic hands do not like them anymore. Can you recommend a waterproof alternative? Thanks!

Still getting the hang of the line and wash!

You do the best rocks!!! I so enjoy your videos.

Wow! That was beautiful!

HI Stephen! I've been practicing these exercises quite regularly and done 30+ swatches and done value charts for every one of them. I'm pretty decent at flat washes in small areas, but just beginning to work on larger areas. Do you have a video focused on custom hues? I'm trying how to figure out how to create a custom hue, not cross contaminate my pans, and then create a sufficient pool to have sufficient amounts of that custom hue for a painting. If you could point me to one, I'd be so grateful! I was attempting to create a color blend chart with just 6 hues and quickly got into issues keeping them separate! Thanks for any where you can point me for help. Your fan, Margie

Very nice, Stevo!

Psyche!! Rude! Scared me

Hi again. I have a question about the indigo color. Do you know if they have stabilized it in such a way that it is safe on the cotton paper? I've done indigo dyeing for years, using natural & powdered indigo. To get the blue color from the plant, you have to go through a process of making an indigo reduction vat. Sadly that includes a chemical called "Thiourea Dioxide." This is the only way I know of to dissolve the color so it will mix with the water and bond to your fiber. It's fascinating, because when the fabric goes in the vat, it comes out green. Gorgeous sage green, that immediately starts changing to blue, due to oxidizing or oxidation. We always had to rinse the fiber repeatedly to keep the chemicals from damaging the fiber over time. I'm just wondering how Maimeri has locked down the process to be a stable blue shade without any green overtones or any changes just from the air, much less from any light. Also, do you think it's Ph neutral? I'm just wondering are there any chemicals in there that would be considered alkaline? Thanks, TS

I LOVE these Steve, Thanks. I just ordered my second set as a gift for my daughter-in-law & receive almost 45% off! They're on a super sale of 31% off right now (backordered though), then I got a$1.50 promotional discount and ANOTHER $11.00 DISCOUNT! Amazing.

🙏❤️

I just tuned in to watch this 3 months after you posted it, fascinating. The Holbein Duo aqua oil paints are currently not available on Amazon. I love that you share your experiments with us.

Sir, you just schooled me beyond anything else I've found online. It seems like most people doing this always leave something out, or comes as an added bonus with a paid course. You my friend are direct and your examples are fantastic. I'm a acrylic painter who began watercolor last year. The first few attempts were a disaster Once I learned that paper is the most important thing, second to paint, then brushes...I've been able to have some ok results. I'm painting with a split cool/warm palette of primaries, with payne's grey and umber. My colores are permanent red, ultramarine, permaent yellow deep - crimson red, cerulean blue, lemon yellow...with the payne's and umber. Any suggestions? I'd welcome any thoughts on this palette.

There are very different Payne Grey. Some of them are blue, but some are rather grey. I love paynes grey, but the best for me is Winsor Newton, the blueish one.

Was wondering if you could tell me the name of the six pan colour that you did the colour blending video

Nice review … great mixing. Do they have an actual red? I have 2 sets & none of the reds are red, annoying.

NOTE!: I misspoke about tear off pad quality. The pads are the same paper and quality as sheets and blocks.

Is the "tear off" Arches really not as good as the block? I thought it was the same paper, just not glued on sides.

Is that Bigfoot I see on the right?

Love this one!

Thank you

Hello Steve :) I've been watching you for years and am still in awe of how much you have contributed to all of us in the world of creative arts. Thank you so much! You are a truly generous master. I had never seen this video until today, and it has to be one of my all-time favourites. Sharing your own difficulties with this piece and all that you did to try to address your own initial lack of love or slight disinterest in it was just brilliant. I learnt so much.
