78 years old and am going to give this a try. Just finish my cup of tea and I’m going to my paper and brushes and paints. Maureen. Sheffield. U.k.

[@loissemanek1715]

You’re the best. I love your spontaneous water color videos

[@InLiquidColor]

[@mindofwatercolor]

Thanks so much Denise! Means a lot!

Magnificent. Absolutely stunning piece. One of my favorites. Beautiful. Thank you Steve.

[@deborahbarbaccia6813]

I just live your spontaneous paintings Steve. Thats something else i want to try😮

[@dianeknott3655]

Fun! You're right! So much fun!

[@evangelinepoe8952]

Five years??!! Didn't it go by in a blink! 200K subscribers! Bravo! Hats off! So well deserved! Words can't express....your sense of humor, awesome T-shirts, conversations with Reece, and one of the best watercolorists and teachers on KZbin. Thank You Steve! 💕

[@sharonriley4297]

congrats on 200k! You channel is the best!!!! No matter how many other watercolor channels I watch I always.....always come back to you. You were my first channel and you are by far my favorite one. Thank you for talking to us and making us feel like we can do this if we put our minds and heart into it. This world needs people like you in it, here's to many more episodes of you wonderful talent and lovely charm.🎨

[@mollycaton5063]

It’s amazing looks like a lake or river in the front ⭐️

[@wizkidsvideos]

WOW! This blew me away. Worked your magic once again.

[@gfody7593]

I took a watercolor workshop with Nita and she was remarkable.

[@kimsnotaryservicesofbadenp4458]

its like watching Bob Ross only with water color... all you need is some happy trees! Amazing talent!

[@dedraedwards8526]

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@MDCampbell]

My dear friend, while others may have already done this technique in the past (or not, I have no idea), to me you have taken your skills and your presentation to an entirely new level. This was just a complete, unexpected blast to right field, zipping over the bleachers and into the parking lot. So well done and you make it seem effortless. How ten people clicked "dislike" shows they are just incapable of handling this kind of bold, courageous step outside of one's comfort zone and into the sheer realm of pure learning, experimentation, and fun. Again, I've never seen you do this before, so maybe it's something you've been at for years, but for me - this was the epitome of The Mind of Watercolor. ~ Mark

[@mindofwatercolor]

Wow, I blush under such compliments. Thanks my friend. Your words means a lot.

[@ladyt1277]

Congratulations on 200k subscribers!! I’ve recently begun my watercolor journey. I absolutely love your style, teaching technique, and humor. I’ve learned so much from you already. It just keeps getting better and better! I’d also like to give a little shout out to Reese :-). Thanks to the two of you for making my watercolor journey an extra fun one!

[@annangel4828]

[@puffyjo]

gosh thats nice beyond nice but I think you know what I mean . as I'm playing with water color this month , thanks to you I am understanding things better. I made a bunch of miniatures which I framed today and posted on IG . I am totally thrilled with it . the littlest one is 3 by 3 inches. and yes I used reference photos and adapted every single piece . I always make it my own. the train rails I did from my head . and the tree in the centre of the frame .

[@Finkeldinken]

You are such a force for good times on creative KZbin. I finally got into drawing consistently again after a twenty year dry spell this january, and yours was one of the first channels I found. What luck! I've been trying my hand on watercolors for about four months now, and I really enjoy it. Thank you for your hard work and your patience, and congratulations on five years and 200,000 subscribers!

[@serjerin]

Congrats congrats congrats!!!!! So enjoy watching and I appreciate all that you teach! 🎈💥🎊👍🏻

[@ellieseibert7473]

Congratulations 🥳🎉 Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent and joy of watercolor! Your style of teaching is so pleasing, while making sure you explain the complexity’s of the medium. Watercolor has been my lifelong love with it’s transparency and unexpected changes.

[@sharonhudson883]

So inspiring. Thanks also for your final quotations.

[@stephanejohnston9945]

This is my favorite! Just beautiful and wonderful to watch you paint!

[@SharonH11100]

That was absolutely magical, Steve! What a trip to watch that happen before my very eyes!

[@thejoydecision724]

Big congratulations! I really needed to see that verse too.

[@sexylolamedusa]

Congratulations! Thank you for the last five years of sharing your knowledge and art. I have learned so much from watching your videos, thank you for being a wonderful mentor! ❤

[@TheBarry33]

One-third the way through this wonderful book! If you struggle with trying to be looser in your painting, this book will really help and yet, Nita's results are also startlingly realistic and impressionistic at the same time. What is also of tremendous value is her explanation of how to develop your own style by means of thinking about a vision you want to achieve. There is sooo much to get from this book and her exercises have also helped me. Once again, Steve, I thank you. BTW, your adaption of her technique ,though admittedly simplified, is a helpful way to start. I began with a seascape and used your guidance by directing the free flowing water I sprayed on and later added contrasting touches when the paint dried, as you did in this video. I had given up on Watercolour books,(PS I'm Canadian and that's how we spell), but this one is a must read. Encore, Merci Steve

[@simosimo7560]

Congratulations Steve! Watercolour is the most amazing technique and this is a dreamy landscape. I will try this technique

[@janabailey1177]

You are such a nice person too! Thank you for this!

Amazing technique and execution! Congratulations on your 200k! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!

[@debbiemacrae3609]

WOW! Gorgeous!

[@TaraSueSalusso]

I’ve started to watch you much more often. In the past I’ve watched you from time to time and have learned a lot from Elem. The more I watch the more I learn and enjoy. These last two paintings I watched with you using this technique I’d just love. I can hardly wait to try them myself.

[@Bridgton1]

Wonderful! Nita Engle’s book is also one of my favourits. Thank you for sharing!

[@bunnyshooz]

Really cool watching the progression of this painting. I had a hard time piecing it together until the blue was added for the sky; it such a small portion of the image, but it helped give context to the rest of the colors. Congrats on the channelversary and 200k!
