Thanks Amanda, I try to be my best person every day! Whimsical is a nice way to describe my type of craziness!!

I am a huge fan of Harriet de Winton (@deWintonPaperCo). Maybe she has been on previous lists ... if not, not :) As a person who learns a lot via KZbin: photography, video, video editing, other tech stuff ... as well as being a very beginner watercolor painter ... it can be highly personal as to which presenter/teacher resonates with me as well as whatever style I might gravitate toward. I tend to like Harriet's method of teaching and painting style(s) but as things pop up in my feed, I often give a look. Ultimately, there are many talented artists and so many mediums and styles. Best, best wishes to all of the KZbinrs as well as to us learning.

[@DebbieWalkerArtmadeeasy]

Thank you Jenna! I’m incredibly thrilled to have made a mention and recognized by you, a KZbin leader in watercolors. As a newbie here on KZbin and having been inspired by you over the years this is exciting. Thank you for your support and encouragement for small artist You touch us all with your authentic and fun teaching style 🎨🖌️

[@BeginnersMind-ArtMind]

@JennaRaineyChannel Thank you so very much for the shout out Jenna!! What a wonderful New Years gift to have all these new subscribers show up and tell me that I was featured on your amazing channel. As a disabled 62 year old artist I create videos to inspire others in their own creative practice. Your giving my channel this boost will have a ripple effect in helping others that may be struggling with illness or other life difficulties to be encouraged to develop their own creative practice. You really made my day, I’m so very grateful. Wishing you a happy, creative new year! 🎉💝🙏

[@JordanHunter333]

Love what you do, Linda, and thrilled to see you on Jenna's list! As a subscriber of yours over the past several months, I so agree with Jenna. You are unique in your transparency and sharing about how life's deeper struggles, whatever they may be, can be so aided through art at any level of practice. I also love your style, and have felt so supported and learned so much through your presence on KZbin. 🙏❤🙏

Louise Di Masi 💖

[@sharonsmith2330]

Louise from Australia is a beautiful artist and explains painting so anyone can learn, I love watching her videos !!!!!!

[@roxanneleclech741]

I agree completely. I just LOVE Paul Clark the way he teaches. His sense of humor

[@lisaloveskirby]

I love all of those that you've mentioned! Here are some others that I feel could use some love. Jay Lee Painting, Joly Poa, Kirsty Partridge Art, Kristin Van Leuven, Liesl's Artistic Studio, Marena Art, Maria Raczynska, Paintinghyun, Sandy Allnock's Artventure, SVAA Jewels, The Watercolor Classroom, Windswept Design Studio. I watch A LOT of KZbin! 🤪

[@coolrunnings3]

Love Paul Clark and he has really free sketches with every painting!❤️

[@deniz5566]

My additional favorites are Let's Make Art with Sarah Cray (her Ebooks are incredible!!), Natasha Newton and PearFleur

[@cathygraetz7229]

Your recommendations have been so valuable to me in previous years, Jenna, thanks. I’d like to endorse Diane Antone whose low-stakes teaching style and delightful sense of humour I love. Also, Harriet de Winton for delicate florals, miniatures, among other subjects. I’ve learned so much from these two wonderful teachers😀

[@melissasippy6629]

Diane is amazing

[@AudreyKrise]

I just finished a tutorial with Diane. She so frank and fun!

[@jenniferroy6288]

Diane Antone yes

[@IAmTheBibliocat]

Love love love Diane Antone!

[@sannefridolin]

Oliver Pyle! Love his work

[@rcl-crafter8]

Thanks! This is great! We watch all these people but one of our top favos is Steve Mitchell, "Mind of Watercolor". He is very experienced but continues to test and try new things. His subjects are mostly trees and landscapes. He is a VERY good teacher and fun to watch.

[@lora9664]

Love Sarah Burns!

[@mfrenc01]

Shelley Prior is the ABSOLUTE BEST watercolor instructor on KZbin. I can’t believe you missed her on your list (but I appreciate that you do this)

[@Aleksbutwithks]

Agreed!!!

[@jamesgsr8587]

Steve (and Reese) at The Mind of Watercolor here on KZbin is definitely worth checking out. Steve is a highly skilled watercolor artist that is so fun, and he has a way of breaking things down to let even the most beginner artists feel welcome and comfortable. He has hundreds of videos ranging from landscapes to portraits, go check him out!!!

[@Sir_Durg]

I must recommend Charles Evans. He has been teaching and demonstrating for decades. A real natural teacher with humour. His paintings are great too.

[@AnnaBucciarelli]

Thank you Jenna! ❤ Happy New Year!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Of course, you deserve it!! Happy new year! 💕

[@dianacurrao8348]

I love that you’re so successful and take the time to shout out other artists! ❤. I highly recommend Liesel’s Artistic Studio and Kelly Hoernig.

[@karenstevens3384]

kelly hoernig is my current obsession she is wondeful x

[@bridgetolson2073]

I have really enjoyed Tammy Kaye. She has just over 27,000 subscribers. Thank you for sharing! Happy New Year!

[@jeanharmon9561]

I love Diane Antonio , she has been so helpful to me this past year…love the loose techniques…

[@LindsayB16]

Frank Clarke is one of my favorites, it's like sitting and learning with a gentle grandfather. Sadly he passed away in 2022 I believe but his channel is still up and very relaxed but informative. He didnt quite grasp the idea of thumbnail images so you have to really click into his videos to see what youre painting but he was brilliant with the paintbrush ❤

[@anitaanderson2326]

I love it when you praise other watercolour channels. I love Sarah, Jess and Anna but want to try the others you suggested. I also love the channel of Ellen Crimi- Trent. Happy new year looking forward to seeing your new ideas in 2024.

[@impala1022]

I love your choices. Another artist that I enjoy is Andrew Geeson. Looking forward to your new book and series.

[@Silver-wm7es]

Yes! Andrew’s loose style is easy for beginners to follow successfully and his quirky humor makes him joy to follow

[@LaviniaNova]

Yes, I agree!

[@derwood206]

Recommend SketchesNScrubs and Watercolor & Co with Elisabetta! So glad you included Liron! I have been following the two of you for about the same amount of time ;)

[@SketchesnScrubs]

Thank you so much Derwood ❤❤❤

[@susanhicks7250]

Thank you Jenna. I knew Paul Clark was going to be your repeat. He’s a gem! I hope you saw the video where he mentioned your name!

[@andreabalestrieri8832]

Paul Clark is great. ♥

[@lora9664]

I would recommend for next year Maria Racnzynska. She does a 21 days of summer every year as a bonus and teaches a soft loose style while also detailed. Very great at pets and still life.

[@amymckee5075]

Ellen Crimi-Trent

[@miss0rae635]

She was on last year’s list!

[@tonyabeauchamp3087]

Louise De Masi is so talented and has great content!!

She has given Louise a shout out in years past. That’s how I found her! LOL…she is AMAZING.

[@francinebrown1944]

Thanks so much Jenna for more great channels to check out. One of my favorites is The Frugal Crafter- Lindsay Weirich and a new one I just subscribed to, The Mind of Watercolor-Steve Mitchell. Happy New Year!! 🤩

Lindsay Weirich is my all-time favorite. And Paul Clark. There are so many others listed that are wonderful.

[@eileenanglace9024]

Yong Chen. Absolutely one of my favorite. Only uses 2 goat hair brushes, a flat and a calligraphy, and limited palette - usually 3 primary colors. He is so thorough. “This is good.” Seriously check him out! I mean it. Yong Chen. Guarantee you will love him.

[@stampinturtles]

Paul Clark is my favorite too!!! Pray for him. He’s had a surgery recently. We cannot lose this precious person. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 He taught me everything I know. ❤❤❤ Love Jess Karp and Sara Burns too. Great video.

Wildlife in Watercolor and In The Studio with Michele Webber are among my favorites.

I'd add Charles Evans

I have already subscribed to some of the recommended ones. Another artist, which I would like to recommend is Anastasia Mily. She does landscape painting in loose style.

[@pippyshortstocking1760]

Happy New Year, Jenna - I am quite new to the world of watercolor. Creating art really. I am an interior designer and was an aspiring metalsmith, but watercolor called my name earlier this year and I answered. My first purchase was your first book. Thank you for mentioning other artists on KZbin. Looking back on your channel, I see you've done this a few years and it warms my heart that you highlight others. It's a kind thing for you to do and I'm sure it makes such a difference to those channels AND your subscribers. Thank you!

[@joanmabe4042]

I am a retired nurse due to back injury, who when I was visiting grandkids and couldn’t sleep, I stumbled upon Diane Anyone’s channel. After watching her paint for a couple hours, I was inspired to think that maybe I could learn how to watercolor. I have been practicing since them and am mesmerized with how paint moves with water. I bought your book today to have a little more structured practice. Thanks for the list. Yong Chen is amazing as well.

[@joanmabe4042]

Diane Antone’s not Anyone’s

[@ajdoane1]

Thank you Jenna for your generous and kind spirit! I love the Helen Campbell KZbin channel, the Wonders of Watercolor. Helen (aka Rae) is a botanical artist, and her teaching style is relaxed, no stress "paint as you go".
