    I can't tell you how refreshing it is to hear someone so experienced say that they have trouble with an area, then to hear such a lovely reaction to the way that the summer trees turned out. I echo others in my gratitude for your lessons; you're a gift!

    I’m blown away, time and time again by how generous you are sharing and trying to teach us how to maybe one day be able to maybe get a glimpse of how we could maybe do a somewhat good watercolor painting as well.
    And every time there is no “hello fresh” or “dollar shave club” crap, I’m relieved.
    Thank you!

    Thank you so much for the incredibly helpful tree tutorial. The little section on evergreens will help me capture the winter trees in my neighborhood, which is named “Lake of the Pines.” Michigan is dense with evergreens of many types, and this encourages me to try to paint their differing growth patterns. The section on painting trees in the round was an “ah-ha!” moment for me, as I now realize a critical element that I had been missing. Every one of your videos is worth viewing many times, as you are so very direct and clear and encouraging. Not only do you understand your art, but you understand the viewers and speak to us with consideration and warmth.

    Thanks for another great video. I appreciate that you explain the reasons for your choices. For example, ‘this is a warmer color because it’s the sunlight side’. That seems an obvious statement when it’s written down, but in the heat of the moment, trying to paint, sometimes the mind goes blank! I am not a stickler for exact color names because those Chan vary from brand to brand, as does the exact shade even if the same pigment is used. What helps me more is knowing if you are getting a warm or cool version of the color, so I can readily match to my palette- and I think you naturally do this.

    Hello Oliver, congratulations on your tutorials. The best thing is your delivery, it's more like a quiet narration then a teachery type style and the pace is really good not too much info too quickly. I have all the tools to paint watercolour but got far too bogged down trying to absorb the information on the other tutorials and frustration got the better of me. I am feeling inspired after watching your video's and ready to have another go ! Thank you, Eve

    while most tree tutorials show how to paint a tree on a white background - this was an absolute masterclass. you factor in background, distance, size, groups, different types of trees, season, etc. I learned so much I applied this foundation to some convincing Palm trees!

I would like to see your reference sketch or photo in the frame if possible. As one who overworks a painting , you could show what needs to left out - you will do this as you’re so experienced but I get bogged down in detail sometimes.
