Thank you very much for continuing to publish so often the development of your work, I am learning on my own and I have found in your videos a lot of learning and a great teacher. Congratulations for your incredible paintings and I hope you can continue uploading more videos.

Shortly, you are not only a great watercolorist but also (or maybe above all) a very wise and sensitive man. Thank You for your paintings, lessons and Yout thoughts. Greetings from Cracow

Well..my dear Thomas this is life lesson too. People do not think seriously about their life's intentions so they get stack. So you nicely explain process....THANKS

[@thomaswschaller]

Wonderfully informative and motivating. I share your love of Blackwing pencils, so buttery! Love the quick HL & VP in your value study. Necessary but proving you don’t have to “screw down” and be a slave to it. Thank you Thomas. 🇨🇦

I'm so glad to see your YT channel picking up again. Reading your book is one thing but seeing you in action is a completely different experience! Thank you so much for making these videos available!

Tremendously helpful once again. Your discussion of style and being true to one’s own vision was particularly important for me. I’m inclined to paint in a way I know that my loved ones prefer (light, pretty) rather than the way I really desire ( darker, less vibrant). Equally, I sometimes feel pressured to paint more loosely than perhaps I want to. The contrast of light and shade in your work and the purity of line always give me the immediate reaction of ‘Wow, that’s a wonderful painting’ that you spoke of. Thanks so much for sharing your work.

Thank you - and yes! You always only paint how and what you want - The only way to grow and learn

Trying to figure out how you draw without smearing the pencil marks and how it is that the watercolor doesn’t dissolve the graphite that you use to create your art. How is that?

[@thomaswschaller]

I try hrad to not drag my hand over the pencil marks once they are down - I do occasionally smear them - but not often.. Water - if floated over the drawing - doesn't dissolve the graphite. If "srcubbed: in it might. But I don't do that . This is regular graphite that I am using - not water-soluable
