This is beautifully done in a loose watercolor style, and leaves something to the imagination. It takes a confident and experienced artist to paint this way.

It's not as easy as it looks. It takes a pro to make it look easy. Good job!

I wish I had a sweet ol grandpa just like him. <3 To love me forever and teach me all about life.

I WISH this gentleman was my teacher!! He makes it look so EASY!! What a great character and artist this man is!!

Its called an excercise guys; you heard the disclaimer at the end. Being loose is one of the most constructive tools as an artist. Lose the egos and learn how to learn.

Transparent, loose, gorgeous! Such a delicate touch! None of this photorealism trendy stuff you could have done on photoshop.

I LOVE watercolors, they are messy yet so elegant.

Very free-flowing style that utilizes all the qualities/characteristics of water and moves it all in a very beautiful direction !!!

It is, absolutely, my cup of tea! 💜☕️💜

Very inspiring, gives me the urge to go to my paintings and brushes.Thank you

I love this guy :D

And, I also want to add that I don't see how this painting and/or style of painting couldn't be anybody's "cup of tea." It's absolutely gorgeous! I sensed your self-criticism and that makes me sad - you are amazing!

WOW. I love this guy. My relatives got me a water color set for my birthday, and I just happened to stumble along this video. I love how he uses delicate, faint shapes, and gradually, adding depth and color value to certain areas, helps guide your brain into seeing a recognizable image. I am astounded by his precision. Some of the last things my grandma did was simple watercolors, and though she was never as good as he, her work is just as important in my heart.

I really like this picture of a rose! I must try this loose style of painting. I especially like the little flicks of paint, it really made my eyes just widen and have an "AHA!" moment. Very helpful demonstration.

I love how they look, not perfect or fussy... just beautiful!

[@hellolife02]

I love this guy. He's adorable and he is an amazing artist! :)
