Love your videos. So much information and you deliver it so well. Tyty

[@cris_ad]

I really love videos like this. A lot of people still think that masterpieces come together in a frenzy without thought or consideration, like you just sit down and paint. These always show how much deliberate action a painting takes and that art IS in fact WORK.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Sadly that's true. It would be nice if masterpieces just appear, perhaps for some artists they do!

@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebberI mean, I consider it a masterpiece if I frame it and hang it on our wall. 😅 And they do sometimes just come together. It’s often something that didn’t turn out so I play with it for fun and sudden,y I’m like I love it. I’m framing it. Im practicing planning more but my drawing foundation is weak as is my planning. So I’ve been watching your videos a lot lately. Practicing this aspect of art and watercolor. I wonder if educated artists like you would find more masterpieces with less planning. And people like me, hobby artists need to practice planning and foundational techniques more. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I was so grateful today for Michele's cheery tutorials. I was awakened very early by the level 9 storm that hit the Cape here in South Africa on Sunday night. The power was out until 8am. We were house bound today as a result of the bad weather but fortunately Michelle kept me enthralled with her videos and got me through the day. I learnt heaps. Many thanks ❤

I like your no-nonsense 10 watercolour tips

[@robbedontuesday]

Michelle, you are too good for social media. I hope average wannabes appreciate all the effort you put helping them.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

lol :-)

[@aliciashackley5830]

I’m so excited to see the same painting done in two different color waves. How interesting. As always Michele thanks so much for this great video. 🥰💕🐶💕🥰

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

It will be a fun one to make!

[@liamwatson5125]

I like your leopard-skin jacket, Michele.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thanks Liam, actually it's a hoodie and I made it on my sewing machine (my other hobby!)

[@susanbuckley1964]

Loads to take away from this. So many things to consider in the planning stage. Thanks for the sound advice, as always.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@slcrooks]

Thank you Michele, very helpful to have your insights!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

You are very welcome!

[@sunltcloud]

Thank you! I am fairly new to water color and this video has really given me some answers.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

You are very welcome!

[@vindictivetiger]

Thank you for doing these videos. I get so much out of them and my watercolor painting is improving!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Wonderful!

[@dianemcgregor6171]

That's very interesting about layering and quality of paint. Haven't heard that before and could be the answer to a problem I've had. Thanks Michelle!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Great to hear!

[@mirafeather7844]

How had I never considered not doing all the drawing at once. That makes so much sense, and I'll be using that tip! Thank you Michele!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

No problem!

[@ralphcrosby9622]

Thank you for these tips

[@mariacleaver7162]

I wish this video had come out before I started my latest painting!! 😉😂 Great video, thank you!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@D9david]

Thanks!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Many thanks, I appreciate it :-)

[@colleenmcchesney1482]

Lots of great tips for getting started with watercolors. A few new ones that are helpful too. A couple of reminders for me as well. Thanks for sharing this informational video with us! 💖🎨😃

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@sharonbaker8851]

A great list of strategies to use when planning! I esp. liked the info about putting in backgrounds! Plan to re-watch this video often as I go along! Thank you!

[@janetturner3497]

Thanks for more advice/recapping. Love all your hints and tips.

[@Nitukumari-wj7xd]

Hi, I recently found out about your channel and I'm obssesd with your way of teaching, you teach better than any art teacher on KZbin and have helped me make my art a lot better, especially your video about how to do gridding which you probably did about a year ago, that video got me introduced to you and helped in many ways, I cant explain my happiness when I found a channel this good. Also sorry if my English sucks I'm from India.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Thanks Nitu, your English is excellent!

[@smz5302]

Thanks so much! So many helpful tips. And I never knew which colors tended to bleed and to take that into consideration when deciding when to paint a background. Thanks again.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Glad it was helpful!

[@lizmoore1313]

You are fantastic! Thank you for giving us your time and expertise. Warm regards!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

So nice of you

[@debh3404]

Thank you!!! Will join mixing soon.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Great!

[@D9david]

A “dogs dinner”? Hahaha…you Britt’s and your iconic sayings!

[@suspage]

Great tips, and always helpful insight. Thanks very much!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

My pleasure!

[@kayaj3802]

Thank you Michelle for answering the question of when to start the background and when to do the subject first. I was wondering about that after watching a couple of your videos. Second question. What color will you be using for the starfish? The background has those 2 strong primary colors and lots of texture. I would struggle to make it stand out against the business that's already there.

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

It was planned to be quite pale, but darkness can be increased at edges where the background is light. To be honest they were only started for background tutorials and I am unlikely to finish, you never know though, I am tempted to do the rose!

[@kayaj3802]

@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber thank you for your reply!

[@michaelthornton5113]

I will have to watch again with notebook and pen. A lot to take in in one go. It seems folks have been fretting over which pencil to use for a long time now: 2B or not 2B that is … (sorry, couldn’t help myself)

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Very good :-)

[@vivianbooth0105]

Michele, how do I upgrade my channel membership?

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

Hi Vivian, I found these instructions: Go to the channel homepage of the membership that you want to change and click See perks. Select the level that you want to join Change level. Select Upgrade. You'll immediately get access to the upgraded level upon purchase. ... Your monthly billing date will not change due to a level upgrade. If that doesn't work google how to upgrade youtube channel membership, adding the device you are on to the search bar: iphone, android or pc and you should find instructions.

[@vivianbooth0105]

Thank you but I did go through all the steps again but when I click “see perks” the only option I have is to cancel my membership. I’m on an IPad if that makes a difference!

[@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber]

@@vivianbooth0105 probably. Apple sometimes just does things differently. But if you want to upgrade I would just cancel and then re join, although I guess you lose a few dollars that way... Or try a different device. Sorry, I have literally no control over the payment process.

[@vivianbooth0105]

Thank you so much for taking the time to help!
