This is amazing But also displays what patience you have, something I don’t posses when painting!

[@baldwinleatherworks]

❤ your tutorials. Your videos are absolutely the best watercolor classes on KZbin. Thank you so much for making these and sharing them. I can’t wait to paint this. I’m gonna watch your tutorial first and then I go back and I watch your tutorial for a second time while I’m painting.

[@laurengouldman9683]

You're such a good teacher!!!!

[@carolpenn1155]

Wow you are amazing Thank you

[@suel4269]

Love the drama and exaggerated colors

[@juliej8113]

Very nice, and thank you for the great explanations as you work. I loved when you added the crimson and purple edge to the right and threw the light cloud further back there.

[@diadumenos82]

It’s wonderful!! I will try my best to do the same. Thanks a lot for this lesson, you are a true “Maestra “ to me (and to us). Greetings from Italy 🇮🇹

[@debbiepearce6716]

I love clouds and dramatic skies! It is a rainy day here in Calgary, so appropriate!!

[@gingerpie1978]

Beautiful! I agree, I love the sky and I love dramatic skies! Thanks for sharing. I am going to try this also. I love all your paintings, you are very talented!

[@karenwilson6147]

I love your teaching style. I love how you explain the thought process behind your beautiful work…starting with cool light yellow and through all the colour additions working towards the darks. HOW CAN YOU TELL WHAT DEGREE OF TRANSPARENCY CERTAIN COLOURS HAVE.

[@guyhiebert]

Expressively explosive. Very cool

[@tinyfacemcgee9211]

Love the drama! Request: lighthouse! Canada has great ones along the Maine border, like Campobello island! I love how you draw it live, as opposed to other channels that show up with the drawing done💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕

[@kerbear829]

OK Shelley...I must be the only one...giving up after my 4th attempt. YOurs is beautiful. Mine looks like Muddy blobs. You are the best teacher...and I did enjoy this video even though I totally failed!:) :) :)

[@C4rl4glz]

Beautiful!

[@paintlady2268]

Missed the live . . . Thank you!!!!!

[@ginabina4704]

It's beautiful, reminds me of Maxfield Parrish a little. Don't know if I got his name right.

[@sharonsmith2330]

Love his work especially the painting of The Frog Prince !!!!!

[@BornAgainFarmGirl]

Very Pretty ❤!

[@francehebert2403]

WoW! ✨🌫️☁️

[@Katrina.for_art]

I gave this a go this afternoon. Hhmmm not the same result, but I had fun.

[@jeanetterogerson352]

Hi Shelley. I love your work so much. I have two pieces that are off track. Would you be kind enough to look at them. I would be so GRATEFUL Jeanette

[@karenwilson6147]

WHEN YOU ARE PULLING OUT SOME COLOUR, is your brush wet or dry?

[@shelleypriorfineart]

I’m not sure at which point in the replay you commented but I generally start with a damp brush unless otherwise specified.

[@francehebert2403]

Kuretake are opaque japenese watercolours

[@lauriecrosby2906]

Robax makes a number of these round swivel pallets

[@shelleypriorfineart]

@@lauriecrosby2906 thank you!

[@laurengouldman9683]

I DIDNT CATCH THE SKY COLOR?

[@shelleypriorfineart]

Cobalt that I toned down a bit with the leftover perm rose/Quin gold mix

[@sharonsmith2330]

I love his work, especially one called “the frog prince”, his colours are just beautiful !!!!!

[@sharonsmith2330]

Sorry posted to wrong person with maxfield info…

[@Cchouette]

it doesn't look like clouds ... more like the beginnings of a bunch of grapes 😉

[@shelleypriorfineart]

Well there’s always the ugly stage

[@francehebert2403]

So you can do even better? Do you have a KZbin channel? Can't wait to see your demos!

[@melodiasinger]

Que comentario más desubicado!! Imagino que eres máster en acuarela no?? Ni en mil años parece un racimo de uvas!! Se nota que no miras la naturaleza!! 😡

[@melodiasinger]

​@@shelleypriorfineart no le haga caso a estos comentarios desubicados, usted es una maravillosa artista y una. Maestra increíble ❤❤❤😍😍🤗🤗

[@healingartwithjan]

@@shelleypriorfineart I didn’t see an ugly stage in this tutorial. So beautiful. I don’t do this anymore, but when I first started painting, if I had to go out while my painting was at the ugly stage, I would stick a posted-it on in case something awful happened and I didn’t return… It said “there is a thing called the ugly stage, where my painting is now. Please know that I do not think this is a good painting.” 😂😂😂 thankfully no I longer worry about judgment. Thank you for all you do. You have made me a better artist.
