[@gudrohi]

I love your tutorials.I wanted to try watercolor painting and get that artistic side of me going .I took your advice on the sky and meadow and made it into one picture .....and my first try came out pretty good.Thank you Mr. Bickford!

[@meow61]

I have taken expensive art lessons but I feel this one video has taught me a lot more than all of those put together. I especially love the economy of strokes that results in such natural effects. Thank you.

[@imp822]

Thank-you so much for your time and willingness to share! I keep trying to learn to paint in a more loose fashion. This helps!

[@cathyrinner3658]

loved art as a kid; now that i'm in my 50s, i'm having strong urges to do some watercolor painting. just watching this video has taught me a lot!! thanks so much for being so generous with your time and talent!

[@soniachill726]

Mr Bickford - you're one of the best teachers I've ever come across. You explain everything so well. Bought your acrylic book btw - Love it too. THANKYOU

[@ovenmicrowavemamma1]

I loved this video. Thank you so much for making it. I'm going to try my hand at watercolors In the very near future. Thanks a bunch for this tutorial.

[@lavalavaist]

This tutorial is very helpful for me for doing a large expanse of sky.

[@helenferrieux1]

Beautifully and simply explained. Thanks so much,Wilson.

[@ClaudiaAug2]

Will try this for sure! Thank you.

[@chicklebird]

it's amazing that i didn't think it looked good at all until the last few seconds when you added the hill in, adding the land completely changed the perspective and made it look very realistic

[@noapology88]

Very useful demonstration - good balance of words and action. I've watched this three times, and am now painting my own skies. thank you.

[@atomicscott2]

Thanks so much! I see a Ron Ranson influence as well. This tutorial will help me immensely. Learning the hake can be very frustrating to me, but I am not giving up!

[@helenferrieux1]

Many thanks, Wilson. Very, very helpful.

[@tozziwazzi]

Thank you for your demonstration, you rock.

[@ojeff45]

[@ninjabart123]

I like how the sky suddenly becomes more vivid and realistic once the landscape was added on.

[@AlarusOne]

Good lesson! :)

[@LondoninColouredRain]

Wow, thank you very much~! :D

[@Clando95]

Arches 140 # paper, he stated in the video but I missed it at first too! I think it looks plastic-like because of the wash he puts on it before even starting.

[@kaltenkografiko]

nice !!!!

[@Bojko143]

Nice Thanks

[@urstupidjunk]

what kind of paper is that ? cuz it looked like plastic...

[@StephieLockdown]

What I find hiliarious is that I didn't see the Jerry artarama name or anything I just clicked on the video and also two days ago i watched a video with this guy in with oil paints, But for some reason today, in the beginning of the video I was like wow I know where I recongize this guy from, the "back to school" cataloge from Jerrys Aratarama. I'm an idiot. lmao! but loved the video!

[@missGizzymo]

Iv Been a fan for a while, even exchanged facebook messages with u lol (all check out wilsons facebook if not done yet!) you should do some more watercolour tutorials! Keep up the awesome work!

[@chaido]

The paper you used for that kinda looks like the paper of my super cheap sketchpad.

[@gewittersounds]

the 240p sky looks great

[@PFbigfan447]

after Bob Ross this is my favourite artist>

[@Daddy_Gable]

I think of the "get in there while its wet" a universal rule

[@user-zg4mj7dq9z]

جميل

[@shymongidbest2438]

Good

[@suryahummer45]

WATER COLOUR

[@helenferrieux1]

It would be useful if those who said "Don't like" would tell us why !!

[@bunnyoncloud]

if only the quality of the vid was better

[@N3UROM4NZER]

I just tell why

[@cinevaundeva2229]

artistul asta are sclipiri de geniu in arta watercolor intermitente. cand e aproape de perfectiune, cand nu e deloc, e prea naiv, copilaros, ametit asa, la norma, la plesneala si asta mai mereu, sclipirile perfectiunii la el sunt foarte rare, dar reuseste sa faca atunci o treaba foarte buna. in rest cum am zis merge asa la plesnala, o fi, o fi, n-o fi, n-o fi si de multe ori ii iese o varza murata pe jumatate.

[@Lucream2]

Sorry this video is not showing good quality

[@spitharoo]

A thirsty brush. Lol.

[@rayourand115]

Your water looks very very dirty. Is that intentional?

[@Poplopo]

so...?

[@user-om8wf8sq5q]

кисточки заебись :)

[@ciacciom]

Stick with oils.

[@lauriebaum2189]

Trolls are so annoying, especially the bandito ones.

[@N3UROM4NZER]

That's why watercolorists are gonna be seen as sketchers forever. Watercolor is more than just use the water, you need chromas in order to get a real painting; yeah, it's true that it was pretty much the academic way (work quickly and shit), but it seems very amateur for me too.

[@sammariofan]

This wasnt helpful at all

[@lisagodsgirl1610]

Great tutorial! Thanks!! :-)
