mako: "dont think too much.." Me: *OCD comes in with Anxiety and over thinks*

[@teebteeb4167]

Dominic Isabelle Paddington Same :-\

[@beautyofdawn9565]

Literally what I did too

[@ycshii9753]

Having mentall illness is soo quirky! 😘🤠🤧

[@jvnfkfgmvjvfmvkf]

@@ycshii9753 ikr???!!!!! so unique!!!

[@samanthahart1811]

Unless you have been diagnosed with anxiety and OCD, you just offended hundreds and thousands of people that actually have it and ACTUALLY STRUGGLE. Most people that have ocd and anxiety don't show up in the youtube comment section saying, "OMG IM SO OCD ABOUT THAT! AGHHH MY ANXIETY!!!!" me included.

[@shiya_lin]

To be honest, I didn't really like the look of the clouds at first because it looked like something I would make, and it wasn't that bright or fluffy like you said. But then the second you added the white paint, it looked SO pretty and I was completely mind blown!! 😍 This just made me realize that I should probably be more patient with myself because I would have thrown the clouds away before I even added the paint, and who knows how great the clouds could have looked?! Thanks Mako. Honestly. Thank you for inspiring me! 😅

[@Makoccino]

Awww ikr!! We always see the final result and think that probably the painting must have looked AMAZING during the whole process! But in reality during the process it might have looked awful, weird, completely different! Only during the process, step by step, with the weird stages that looked off, the final painting comes together that makes sense and looks great! I'm glad I could remind you of that!

[@priyakapoor5531]

ok same.

[@schmitt313]

Same thought here!

[@MrChips-ro8dp]

Shiya Lin SAME! I thought I was the only one!

[@kajnadams]

YUP!

[@estivanafelaza9746]

Mako:" do the wet and wet technique where you put some water on the paper..." Me: pour all the water to the paper

[@lakshmianoop2901]

humhum diy XD😂🤣

[@fishramen5390]

[@hneylemn6070]

Really relatable

I want these paintings to hang around my house!!

[@Makoccino]

Awww

[@AS-ue6il]

Her voice is so calming. And so is the background music ^^. I listen to her voice when i cannot sleep

[@MP-cv6if]

That white paint just transformed the entire painting

[@megevans1755]

I don't understand how you're so good!

[@fluctuat6802]

Diana Calderon the problem is that Im afraid of not being good, or wasting my paint, paper... so it's hard to progress aha

[@mokilatte]

Vilunatic Then try to get cheaper paper, you "evolve" a lot quiker when you experiment, and you don't presure your self to do everything perfect. You can learn from your errors, or see what works and what doesn't. (Sorry for gramatical errors english is not my first language )

[@fluctuat6802]

Mónica 2027 thank you for your anwser! You're right, ill try it. And no problem, im not english either I'm french 😉

[@erinp8657]

Vilunatic I'm French too

[@jayyy3668]

I dont believe in it being "good" its just how much fun you have with it

[@CottonCandyNationYT]

You're intros are always beautiful (and your art (of course))!

[@lalaland1066]

Cotton Candy Nation does anyone know what song that is?

[@jvnfkfgmvjvfmvkf]

[@Makoccino]

[@ALST15]

this video is describing my life. all the time when i paint someone comes over my head and tells me what the heck you are doing (because theres no definition yet) but after some hours they come and see that this weird thing i paint somehow became a real thing and they are amazed. Not everyone understands how much patience drawing and painting requires!

this looks like an easier way to do clouds must try this method

[@min-go2xy]

[@geetikanidhi2906]

You can use white watercolour tubes without diluting them as they are more opaque than pans
