Hello! I am a perpetual learner from Wisconsin. I love learning new things and I loved this demo! At age 81 I don't let a day pass without learning something to add to my watercolor paintings. I just stumbled on this program and definitely will add it to my new ideas and methods to try. Thanks for sharing your talents!

[@thorsten2068]

madam, you are an inspiration!

I’m also from Wisconsin, may I ask which city?

[@joanwilson4491]

My sister from another mother! I'm a 5 ft tall 66 year old construction worker, retired owner of salons, taking commissions in art since a child, retired for the second time to check off one last thing....being a full time artist. When I'm not enjoying reading and learning art....being a chronic do it yourselfer, I tell people I am literally in Joan's art school) and learning for the first time good use of the word no. I used to never so "no I can't". Now I just so no to all those good and bad diversions. Thanks to people like Eric and Cindy, we can be in our own school.

[@thatswhatshesaid.literally737]

Sister from another Mister. Lol 😊

[@suekeeling3960]

Thank you Cindy.What a wonderful method of painting watercolour.I can't wait to have a go.I've learnt so much.Also thanks to Eric for showing all these great artists.I was so lucky when I came across your channel.

[@lauralathrop3518]

I love this technique and can’t get enough of watching Cindy’s process! Would love more videos Cindy!

[@carolhama4156]

Thank you for bring Cindy Baron to the small screen to perform a demo for us! I love her oil landscapes, had no idea what she was doing in watercolours, too! I used to start my florals like that, wet-in-wet...but this video may have put enough fire under me to put away my oils for the time being and drag out all my watercolour stuff again! Thanx for the inspiration!

[@notme3252]

It’s like a darn miracle how it just magically (with talent and practice, obviously!) turns out so perfectly!!! ITS BEAUTIFUL!!!!!

[@rachelsmith8876]

Very interesting

[@pleinaire8698]

EXCELLENT demo!! I've never seen watercolors handled in this very dynamic way..THANK YOU CINDY!!

[@joancroce8993]

Cindy has been the most influential and generous teachers that I’ve had the pleasure of experiencing.

[@lindathiel7721]

Eric this is a treasure! Cindy is showing us different techniques that I have never seen before and the results are fascinatingly beautiful 😍. The layering is so perfect.

[@martamcfarling9723]

Dear Eric Rhoades, thankyou for the magnificent display of the comprehensive and blended techniques of the real time landscape works of Cindy Baron. EVERY MINUTE WAS AMAZING !

[@richardthouin7821]

Transformative! Loved Cindy's demo!

[@saraht4973]

Absolutely digging this. Duds do work. Amazing Cindy. You are a gift. And thank you for bringing this to us.

[@shirleymason1238]

Love this method! Beautiful blending! Layering magic.

[@lesleyhughes9461]

Letting colours blend themselves always produces lovely results!

[@ts-eu6mp]

Just thrilled to see a particular way to get watercolors vibrant and missing technique, addressing paper weight, light source, all the things Cindy is speaking of. Hello from South Carolina. Oh, here "comes the wild part,"Cindy says. Cool! Thank you both!

[@sherriebarker1886]

I'm 71 and I'm from Utah. Just starting to get into watercolor. I'm excited to learn some techniques and information from Cindy and from this program. Thank you for sharing your time and talents! I love watching your videos!

[@rodneyferguson893]

I really enjoy her style and the light and shadow that it creates along with the blending of the different layers.

[@birdsiview6845]

The subtleties you get by layering the first washes is magical! I love the palette she built for herself. I would add quinacridone gold, indigo, and m.Graham Sepia. I love white gauche as well. And or white pastels.

[@patvalenzuela5105]

Awesome. What a great way to paint . I love it. Thank you. Lovely.

[@Dossomit101]

Wow that was fantastic with Cindy Baron, love the layers & her way of mixing on the Arches paper. Wow wow wow thank you. So grateful to you all.

[@dkalbach]

Was fortunate to have known Nita and taken classes from her. She has a great book which you should still be able to purchase "How To Make A Watercolor Paint Itself". Something to have and compare with Cindy's technique.

[@averyandrewgardner614]

Wonderful lesson for a senior starting to paint again - thanks Cindy for explaining the art of glazing

[@caroledavis7334]

Watching Cindy's watercolor...incredible technic....love it !

[@rheakennen4763]

Thank you so much for opening my eyes to a new way of watercolor painting. I am 94 years old have painted for over 50 years and this is a thrill to see. Thank you so much for my wonderful afternoon with you.

[@pamelahunt236]

When the colors blend in watercolor I get so excited as well. Glad I am not the only one that feels that way. It is probably one of the reasons I paint in watercolor. I will be trying this technique very soon!

[@jackiesullivan4487]

mesmerizing! I also love Nita Engle's work. Can't wait to see the finished painting.

[@marjorykephart4700]

I loved, loved Cindy Baron's landscape techniques. Cindy, you inspired me to go out and start painting again.. Thank you so much.

[@brucemannon7891]

Thank you Eric and especially Cindy for your presentation today. What an inspiration it was for me to see you play with all the colors in different layers. I never dreamt that you could mix colors that well on paper. As a struggling artist I have many “duds“ and now I’m able to see that they have some value. That is something I never thought about until now thank you so much!

[@sarahleahb8841]

Cindy's painting takes my breath away! I've been seeking this painting result for sooo long! So inspiring to see exactly how to arrive at this! Thank you so much. (From Israel)

[@lindathaxton1994]

Fascinating & beautiful - opens a new door! Thank you for sharing 🙏👍✌️

[@leslierobbins4467]

I’m amazed at such control - I would be covered! Cindy is an inspiration.

[@Merletth]

Loved Cindi’s layers

[@Merletth]

Still great and learning sooo much. Thanks

[@ThePattiw]

Love her technique! And her work is lovely! Thanks again.

[@TheGoldsholl]

I think she is more impressed with her work than everyone else

[@seansmith9757]

I love how Cindy Baron starts her water color painting with layering colors in line with the direction of light and maintaining that idea throughout her painting. Cindy's creative process of experimenting with her duds, as she calls them, reveals new pathways and techniques that give her paintings depth and vibrancy that is so inspirational! I have learned alot in this short video clip. Thank you so much for sharing freely these world class Artist that have so much to offer for beginners as well as seasoned artists. Your humility with modesty in these videos has certainly added to your passion for painting and has made you a master artist that inspires me. Thank you 😊 Sincerely Sean Smith

[@paulah317]

I love Nita Engel and now I love Cindy Baron! Thanks for showing your technique to us. I will be incorporating it into my work.

[@Ant1matter2]

So unique...Diamond in the rough...I will be adding Elegant Landscapes to my Paint Tube account shortly! Thank you Cindy for sharing your secrets with us, and Eric for providing this platform! We are the luckiest people at this time in history for painting in all mediums!

Wow! I just happened upon this video and I feel fortunate that I did! I learned so much! Cindy did an amazing job of conveying her unique technique and I'm hoping I'm brave enough to try it! We all got the mistake pile and I think I've just found a new way to use my pile! Thank you!

[@nikkiswenson54]

This is fantastic! Can’t wait to play. Thank you Cindy and Eric

[@reneewatercolors_by_renee327]

Cindy, I love this painting! Fabulous!

[@jaquelinedeponce5251]

Greetings from Arizona! Thank you for your program. I’ve been a realist watercolor artist for almost 35 years, I’m self taught. My first love was oil painting. Switching back in the 80’s to acrylics a a couple of years because of my growing family. On a very frustrating day after dealing with 3 very rambunctious little boys I had picked up a set of Windsor & Newton artist’s quality paint set that I had received many years prior from my dad. I was in my late teens when I had received them. They had been stored over 10 years and to my surprise they were intact! My first piece of watercolor artwork turned out beautifully. It took me a long time to meticulously apply sheer layers on top of layers of watercolor. I still get offers to purchase this painting. My youngest son is in his mid thirty’s now. I have never gone back to any other medium. I have been debating the possibly painting with gouache. No too sure.

[@mohammedalam6856]

Absolutely beautiful work. I love your layering technique and the freshness of colors. Amazing!!!

[@lorettaboersig4540]

Wonderful presentation! Enjoyed so much.

[@nitafaught-JoyfulheART-]

Bless your heart! This is absolutely beautiful! Love your explanations! 💗

[@whiterose3596]

Hello. I have been learning watercolor painting for a few years. How to make the color rich and bright is always my thinking and passion. Today I happened to get this video popped out and I feel excited about it . Thank you for this demo. And I’ll definitely watch regularly the videos provided by this online school. And I hope to know more teachers too.

[@kalpanadeshpande3628]

Lovely technique which turns the painting into lively scene..great watching Cindy Baron ..

[@donnabrooks7783]

Wow! Just incredibly amazing Artist! Cindy has inspired me to try watercolor now! I work in pastel and love it, but this video has truly sparked inspiration to try something new! Thank you Cindy and Eric!

[@comicsgrinder]

I invite folks here to check out what I'm developing on my channel. I hope to do more demos of my own!

[@chrissiebury5339]

Thank you Cindy for an inspiring video and for helping to assuage my guilt of using white acrylic! I still have my old art teacher’s voice in my ear saying “No white paint!”.

[@pattytoombs]

What an inspiring demonstration/lesson. I am still feel I am a beginner using water colors, but this layering really makes sense to me and I am anxious to try it now. Whidbey Island, WA has some gorgeous ‘land’ and a terrific community of artists if you decide a bigger move is in your plans. Stay well, and thank you!

[@adnanshati5402]

Magical depth is slowly appearing.👍good morning from Minnesota

[@glennajones1322]

So glad to see this demonstration. New to watercolors, I like the idea of mixing the white gouache with the watercolor paints to draw them out of the transparent colors. This is beautiful. Thank you from Florida!

[@carolmiller2298]

Ohmygoodness!! I enjoyed this so much!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@riccidawson5068]

I have been following Nita for over 12 years. I have struggled because she is so far advanced that the basics fall away as she creates. Cindy is easier to understand and follow. Thanks

[@anne-karinjohansen9616]

Thank you to Cindy for sharing, this was so inspiring to watch ..

[@loisgibbs7524]

I find this absolutely amazing it’s just pleases me so much to see this. It encourages me even more to paint than ever.

Fantastic, I am new to both of you Cindy and Eric and love watercolors, a perpetual 20 plus year student when time permits.....Now semi retired I try to paint everyday, even for 5-10 minutes I am definately learning the importants of hands on practicing and fixing the "happy mistakes".... Fingers crossed to win Eric's book, you two did a fantastic lesson together, I learned so much and I thank you....Eugene, OR USA

[@patfoley4888]

I have to tell you. Your techniques are amazing I tried them out immediately I couldn't believe the difference in my painting the light was amazing😮and making some of the colors opaque at the end was life-changing seriously. Thank you so much for this demonstration.

I’ve been a watercolor artist, all my life with a 13 year space with a death of my husband, and now I’m back painting again and doing research to get my skill level back up really enjoyed your way of working with watercolor. It was an eye-opening experience as you said, in the video you take a piece from this one and a piece from that one and learn from it all and make it fit in your space wonderful thank you so much for the video.
