Long time water color painter here, but away from it for the past 4 years. I enjoy seeing what I've missed. I've gotten away from true watercolor painting, trying to paint EXACTLY what's there, instead of letting the paint show me the way. (former student of Terry Madden)

I am beginner and I followed step by step this video did 3 this painting the same evening, I am sooo happy with the results, you've made it very clear and easy to learn and understand the concept so I can apply them to any other paintings I do. And this gaven me a lot of confidence which is the most valuable take away here, to me! I appreciated it a lot! Thank you 💟 And my friends couldn't believe it was my first boat picture! 😄 I live on an island, sky sea and boats are what I wish to paint more.

Thank you for this, I will watch again and try to follow along! I love your artistic style (I’m especially drawn to your green based landscapes) and your nice clearly explained video presentation style (I spent ages looking for artists who fulfilled both) Do you have more beginners lessons? There are so many videos it’s hard to find easier ones to start with. My mum did lots of watercolour painting but she passed away very unexpectedly a couple of years ago. I so wish I had asked her to teach me. I kept her paints, brushes and paper but am finding it very hard to start when I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t think you group your lessons into playlists for level or type unless I’m looking in the wrong place? Thanks again, your pictures soothe me somehow.

i am new to the watercolor world .. I followed the tutorial, and I am happy with my results... Thank you for the very clear instructions. I still need to work on the color mixing till I can reach the correct tones that I want. A recurrent problem is that the middle of the paper always dries faster ... especially if it has lighter colors, like the water around the bout for example. The DAMP phase of the paper is so short that I don't get to take full advantage of it.

Love this but I wish you would tell us what colors you’ll be using up front. As a beginner time is not on our side. Me having my colors ready ahead of time helps me to focus on your tutorial wo feeling pressured to get the colors (I may not even have) ready before the paint dries.

How do you keep your paper from curling since you don’t tape it down? I know you wet both sides but when the paper dries and you are in the later phase your painting you paper doesn’t curl. Is it the paper you are using?? Thanks

At 12:55, at that point is it only damp because of the water you carry on the brushes? Is it still wet on wet then? I'm asking because previously you said you let it all dry before continuing the work. And just another newbie question if you don't mind: if you re-wet the paper after it dried, would the colours from that first layer move again as if they were fresh, or would they have settled? I realise these are probably very basic questions x) Anyway thanks for the tutorial!

How damp is the sponge, is it dripping, can you wring it out or is it just damp? How long does your paper hold the moisture, what if you have to rewet in between, how can you see that?

OK. I just tried this and completely failed. Do you use a different brush for each colour so you don't have to keep cleaning and re-loading the brush? Do you worry about cross-contaminating the colours from their pans?

Drawing is the most important. If your drawing is not good, no matter how good your painting it will not look good. OK you can paint your picture without drawing, but you will have to be a good painter.
