Thankyou michele this was really helpful especially the tonal values as I was never taught that at school and have always struggled so this gave me such a better understanding. Thanks so much for ur time and knowledge its so appreciated plus I love that your from the UK same as me. Yay for thd UK lol xxxx

Really helpful! Thank you 🤗 Merry Christmas! 🎄

At timestamp 26:13 you mention that soap has an effect on watercolor paper but yoy dont say what that effect it. Could you offer more info please? Thank you, nice round of tests.!

Marvelous really defines the brick work beautifully.

This helps me talk with my grandchildren about choosing a limited palette. They love painting.

Try snapping the toothpick in half and "knocking" the cut end on the table before use. I teach on cruise ships and use toothpicks with my students. They are cheap and can just be thrown away after use.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thanks, Michele - I would love to see more videos on colour choosing and colour mixing!

A very merry Christmas.

wonderful insight. I own Michele’s split primary set and they are fantastic. Definitely investing in Michele’s other watercolor sets. Still learning how to mix an alternative for the petal shadow color. If anyone needs tips on mixing that vomit color, I’m your man : )

There is so much that goes into this work of art. Just fascinating to watch.

Lots of my favourite colours Love the flip tops on the tubes Sometimes I have trouble screwing the tops on Delphinium blue❤

So much fantastic info - thank you so much for putting this together for us

I have always used the grid method and it is sooo time consuming. I cannot wait to try your method. Thank you so much for sharing !

Another really great video Michele. This will help us make our own decisions for choosing paint colors. Thx as always. 🥰💕🐶💕🥰

I enjoyed this video Michele, thank you for the useful tips. We also got a good selection of nail colours too 😅 Thank you for the heads up on your upcoming sale. Wishing you a very Happy Christmas 😊

I'm so glad I found you, wish I had soon! You give off Mr. Rodgers vibes, but with art! Thank you so much for all this help!!! ❤❤❤

How I choose my colors you ask: the way you taught me from the watercolor beginners course, with swatches. Now, I have a question. I am challenging myself to mix colors using only the three primary colors warm and cool version. My question is, are there any tips to know which of the two versions to use? Perhaps the topic for a new video 🥰

Very interesting material. Thank you!

Let me know how you choose your own colors? Try this video next: How to Mix Watercolors (THIS color is essential) kzbin.info/www/bejne/emHHZ4KvjqZ8jpY

Great tips as always. Thank you!

You didn't show the finished dry results😢 great ideas and talent, thank you!

skys in watercolour pencil would be good

For flat washes, using masking fluid to protect the already painted areas works

Really helpful video, thank you

AMAZING

You make the best instructional videos I have ever seen. EXCELLENT!!! Thank you ❤

Green is my favorite color and this variety on the painting is stunning.

Very helpful. I have been studying bird anatomy with pencil and fountain pen and really needed something about painting. I especially liked your showing how not to get to detailed and letting things blur together and the soft edges between background and foreground.

Wow, really liked all the techniques! Especially at the end with travel palette and water pens !

Brilliant! I have mostly had trouble with eclipses and cups or mugs!

I think that's a very good idea to write down colors you will use along with techniques and any details you want to include in your painting before getting started. It's so important to have a plan for your painting. I like the idea of having a limited color palette. ❤

Please leave the sword there lol

Getting fortified☕🍰watching my favorite art tutorials.❤

I like that! Thanks. ❤❤❤

After years wasting time and energy posting on IG I’m done. Likes and compliments are fine but are they really necessary?!?!?!

Thank you! I need to do that.

Hi Michele, My Mom is so excited that I'm learning to paint. She's such a good artist, but I'm taking your advice to not compare myself to her or anyone else. I already know my style is totally different than hers. Have also shown her your channel and she likes you, too.

Thanks Michelle. I’m about to go on a cruise and will take my Derwent inktense pencils with me that I bought maybe 10 years ago but have never used as I didn’t know how.

Great tip. Michele’s Paint any landscape course really helped me achieve better contrast in my paintings.

Thank you for mentioning ventilation re bleach. It induces histamine production too (not everyone can metabolise histamine efficiently).

This is the most informative salt/watercolor segment I've seen. Thank you!

Thank you. Very helpful ❤

I found watching this so informative and helpful. I love how beautiful it has turned out, Michele. Love these kinds of videos.

I think you were expecting Derwent tinted charcoal. I returned them. They were 9/12 just grey.

I noticed that the paint is being chased away when you used a wc pencil over wet paint, especially in the roof sketch you did.

I use my ultramarine for skies by adding a little yellow to warm it up then watered down, works well for me and keeps my colours harmonious

You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you❤️

Excellent technique and the master class video on this work of art is definitely worth viewing.

Fantastic. Thank you for sharing the tips. You are such a wonderful teacher ❤
