I’ve asked myself the same.
righttt
Then we are Begegeninners
Nice
Mako: I finished this in 30 minutes
Me being the beginner that I am: *finishes in 2 hours*
Oh La same omg
Atleast you finished it. Me still thinking.
Same 😂
It took me 90 minutes to do 2 of the paintings! She's so fast!
At least you did it
My brain: i can do this!!!
My hands: "are you sure about that honey?"
Lol literally me 🤣🤣
Same doe
😂
Same
My hands: You're such a freakin' weirdo.
Her "here and there" : looks artistic and pretty.
Mine : looks like oreo's crumbs
i feel ya xD
OUCH SAME IT IS SO UMSATISFIYINGGG
LMFAOOO MEE
I did this with my older sister who's 21 and I'm 10 I did the field and my sister did the sunset and that was really fun! And me and my sister together having fun it was like a bonding moment 😊😊😊
Awww that's cute! I did this with my little cousins, they are 12 and 10 and I'm 16. They loved it! Her style is so easy and relaxing yet still fun and pretty!
Aww i wish i had a sister like that, you both are really sweet💖 ;v;
Aww! Glad to hear that you had a happy time with you sissy♥️😊
This comment is so wholesome I can't 😍😭
that's so sweet
who else loves mako's watercolor style so much?❤️❤️❤️
awww
I love watercolor
Me 😍 love her voice too
@@okikman1005 Yeah, her voice is so relaxing
@@okikman1005 yeah
After I use your techniques my paintings turn out to beautiful
Aww that's awesome!
Same here thank mako
like seriously, thankyou for waking up the art lover in me.
Now I know why we need watercolour paper for watercolours😅
Parvez Munshi Lmao! I get that; at least use mixed media paper, because anything thinner than that can’t handle the weight of the different layers. 😄
I just use cards.
@@Elizabeth-lv5dj my favlborite paper is Arches Cold Press 140 lb
@kitty corn Gotta get the paper right! It has a huge affect on how the painting looks!
@kitty corn no not really - a lot of the papers for watercolor look the same, but different brands and types have different looks when painted on
Happy Saturday! Time for another painting session! Don't forget to grab my FREE watercolor painting guides! You can find the link in the description box! ❤

Your amazing I love your video. 🤗♥️💙🧡💚💜💖😘💋
Thank you so much mako. BTW you look so beautiful😍
The water on the second one was not that good....but i like other two and also...i can't paint as good as u but i understand wut art is and your hardwork on it so...maybe one day i will be making this type of same tuto better than this?maybe?
After I spill water all over my table, watercolor made a large blob and accidentally breaking my paint brush I must say this is very relaxing indeed
HAHAHA...😭
A mood indeed. 😌...🤣🤣
I don't know how,but my brush accidentally knocked over a bottle of vinegar,it broke,and now my room smells like it's a trench from WW1
Something like that happened to me, I spilled water on the table and the walls came down 😫😬👍
I feel like I am ready to paint again. 💕
You should - it's so fun to paint! It can be so relaxing if you just do it for fun and don't pressure yourself to make something perfect.
Its called Motivation ❣️💞
@@arsonic10 army??💜💜
My daughter and I did this together and it was a lot of fun. The paper was not for watercolors but they still turned out great. Thank you for the video.
Me: I think I'm going to try some water color it seems easy enough!
My hand: nah fam your on your own on this one
we used watercolor in art all the time at school so its easy for me tbh
Same😂
This is the most beginner friendly watercolor painting I've ever found and I'm glad that I did! Thank you for this! I just recently bought a new watercolor paint set and watercolor paper and this video's so helpful! Grabbing my materials now to paint while watching this. Subscribed! ❤️
My watercolour art is becoming gradually same like you😊. Thanks for your tips and hacks . My parents always appreciate my art😋☺️🤗😘😃
It is so good that you are starting young. I wish someone would have encouraged me to be an artist when I was younger!
The sky in the middle painting is so wholesome to me 😍 I can feel it’s peace. So beautiful
My very first watercolors were from your tutorials. Thank you so much!
These are some of my favourite videos that you do, because you make the paintings seem easy and doable enough that I can usually get over my fear of failure and actually try them. Normally I'm so worried about wasting paint, paper, and creating something ugly that I cant even pick up a brush when I want to paint.
Aww I'm so happy my videos help you overcome your fears!
This is incredible. So relaxing to watch too. You’re very talented! I’m just learning watercolour and this video was super helpful, can’t wait to get started 😊
I learned so much happy new things here ♥ Thank You
ME TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
That is a very cute comment 😊😊😊
@@memyselfyouandbts5279 p
Me toooo
But it is not as beautiful as you have done madam
Thank you for this! I’ve been an acrylic painter for years and I want to try something new, your videos are very inspiring!
I came hear for inspiration and I’m beyond inspired, wow
I learnt so much from this tutorial! Thank you! I usually get bored when I mess up paintings but I realized from watching your videos that I can just make something better out of my mistakes!
OH MY GOD
I just did this tutorial as my first watercolor painting ever AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for this! Super cool result and I'm actually understanding how much water, pressure and patience it takes!
These are so lovely! My grandfather was a watercolor artists and he used to set us up next to him with our own papers. Learning how to have a much lighter touch was a hard one for us. This takes me back.
Wow her painting was looking so real.
Yeah hi army 💜
I followed along, my very first time trying to do something like this, and although it didn’t come out how I wanted it to, I am still happy to have made a thing! Thank you so much!
I was thinking the same... Result is not as expected, but I learned so many small things and realised that I'm actually capable of doing more than leafs with watercolor haha
@@MB-kn4ty I’m happy for you, friend! I hope you make things you love in the future!
i'm just starting to do some arts pianting and i think i already have an idol :>
awww
Getting inspired by your work. I need to try this definitely! Keep creating more 🎨
Thank you perfect timing!!!! I really needed this now😊❤️
Amazing! I love the idea of painting another layer at a diagonal, what a great idea!
Thank you for this tutorial. It was relaxing and very easy to follow ❤️
You’re amazing! Thank you for teaching the basics, I never know how and where to start! 😍
Summer makes you wanna do things like this......
Thank you so much for this! It helped me a ton!!!!!
Awesome !! Love the way u paint , bring smooth transition and want more ! Everything is awesome
Like the german I am, I went out and bought the best supplies and watched about thirty of Mako's videos before even attempting to put brush to paper. Her soothing voice, calming confidence, perfect instructions, and relaxing music finally got me to dip my brush. Seriously, it's got to be so easy, right? I mean, really? The first sunset did not blend at all, even though I followed the instructions to a fault. It was a mess of colors. Now I realize, it's practice, practice, and practice some more. I ordered the book and look forward to failing miserably until I don't.
This was fun! Thank you for the tutorial!
I love this video! So simple and easy to follow, and so much valuable information! Thank you thank you thank you!
Omg thank you for this video!!! I was just looking for some ideas!!!!
i love following your creations. your techniques and paintings are so gorgeous and so easy to follow. Thank you so much for doing this!
So happy to hear that!
Aww... Needed this becoz I was off from art from a long time and wanted to do smthg simple and elegant!!!
I like the format of three watercolour painting a lot always great session❤
Thank you! This is the first video that really was "beginner" and my painting turned out similar to yours!
i love the painting videos! i havent been that creative lately so i hope i get some nice ideas from this video 💗
Wow that's really beautiful, I'm jealous of your watercolor skills.
Mako's a saviour.❤
wow!!! your paintings turn out so beautiful!!! 😍😀
Its so much therapeutic to see you paint :D
Just now I was out of idea for painting...After seeing it video, I loved it!
Thank u soo much!😘
makoccino you are very talented thanks for your effort and hope you achieve all your goals
Hello this is Juliana from Melbourne Australia. I'm 72 just started learning. Thankyou I enjoyed it.
Very nice . Aritstic features . Who says that the artist has magic in her hand hit the like button
So proud I felt when at the art store I asked so secure for cool and warm primary watercolors just as you said in your guide. Thank you Mako 😃
Awww this warms my heart ❤❤❤
Thank you.cant wait to practice it ❤️
Love your tutorials! Make everything easier
I tried it, it is my first ever water color experience (after the disastrous way we used it in school as kids)
I am glad with the outcome.. I wish I can show it you what I could create
Everything went perfect before my water colour brush hit the paper
Edit: umm *scratches head* how did I get so many likes??
Same 🙂🙂🙂
Hahha
😂😂😂
Oof lol.
@Noah Lawrence lol 😆
Thank you so much for this! My sister and I had a lot of fun doing this, especially during quarantine
I just painted this. It was my first watercolour painting and I am not experienced at all with any kind of painting. It was so easy to follow and even though it is not perfect I am super happy. Thank you so much!! I cannot wait to follow more of your tutorials.
It's really good ~♡
I started water coloring today and your tutorials are all sooo cute and help me a lot! Thank you!
Awww that's awesome!!
Fancy!! I just picked up watercolor supplies today😍
Thank you for sharing ! I enjoyed this very much.
I honestly just watch these videos, because I find the way watercolour moves across the page and dilutes so satisfying/ hypnotising lol. Maybe one day I'll have a go, who knows? lol
U should definitely try it out. It looks way more astonishing when you are the one "messing" with it *-*
Hey Mako! Can you make more videos like these?? I could actually paint the middle one out of these and I loved this step by step method! Thank you so much! 💜
beatuful bro
THANKS FOR THIS!
ITS SO PRETTY
Hi idol! Yes I'm one of.your fans from Philippines:>
Your artworks are so great and I always think of it everytime we do our art projects😊
Knock, Knock.
Who's there?
The love of your life.
Liar! Art can't speak!
Btw Makoccino is my cute Angel
Amazing! Thank you!
This is the best! Thank you!!
You deserve so many more views
Her: _"plays around with the colors until I get the color I want"_
Me: **tries mixing colors**
Also me: It's poop brown now 😑
Kathleen Cayabyab omg same I’m just a cat
It depends on the color wheel- you shouldn't mix colors that's directly opposite of it or else your gonna get a pop color
what I dont get is, if we are supposed to mix all the colours we need from just a handful of colours, why do manufacturers make so many different colours? I just want to buy them all.
This is sooo true!
@@lynnjeffries7525 I guess its easier for people to directly take paint from tubes/pans than it is to search around for warm/cool complementary/non complementary colours...🤷♀️🤷♂️
Thanks for this tutorial!
Wow! Thank you
Well, i don't know what happened but mine did absolutely not look like hers... : ' )
The same happened to me 😂😂😂😭😭😭
maybe its because of your paint's quality and the paper you are using.
She's experienced in that..so don't expect the same result as her if you're a beginner!..just try your best and believe yourself!
@@manishlakhmani7532 well said.
@@worlddefined Thankyou😊

Mako,I've always loved your art and I really find your videos helpful. I have a request, can you make a video on watercolor paintings which are a level up than the beginner level cuz I wanna learn more about them. ❤💗
I do a lot of videos that might be a little beyond beginner level. They're mostly on animals though. I need to do some landscape and diversify I know lol.
