Thank you for your heart felt message. Your soft spoken narrative and beautiful paintings are a wonderful oasis of calm in this crazy world of chaos...and, I think, I hope, maybe; my painting is getting better thanks to your wonderful tutorials.
Just watching this video on August 17, 2022. Unfortunately, we are still experiencing so much division and even violence and too many willing to believe so much that’s so false. But thank you for your timely & thoughtful words, that are still timely! I watch a lot of art and creative pursuits on YT. It is my island of calm and sanity in a world that feels like it’s gone crazy at times. Thank you! 👍
Thank you Eric for the peace and happiness....it takes just one person to get the ball rolling....that, already, is HUGE!!!!....ever hear of " the butterfly effect"? Bless you!🙏
Thank you so much for the kind and caring message. I am watching this at the end of March when we have all been through more gun violence in the US, hate crimes, and cruelty. Eric’s gentle message opening this video was/is a gift, and he reminds me that as artists painting the beauty of our world, our planet, IS a social action, a voice for change, a way to care.
I love the cleanness of this particular painting. 'One shape, one wash'. This must be my new rule every time. Thank you for the heartfelt message. Let’s hope the year ahead brings more peace.
Eric you bring us artists and non artists together with your great videos. You help us get a brake form all the bad news around us. Have a wonderful year.
I really appreciate your sincerity with regard to your comments about the state of the world at the beginning of the video. This is my first time on your channel. I learned a lot from your tutorial and will definitely be back for more content.
Thank you Eric. I watched your live stream of this painting and it was soooo calming and enjoyable to witness and become stress free with you. I loved this video too and I think you again brought an artistic calm to my day. It would be nice to see another live stream if possible. Peace and love to you and all 🕊❤
You seem a very sweet and genuinely compassionate person as well as a magician at watercolour painting. Thank you for your videos which I have enjoyed for quite a few months now.
Hi Eric. I just wanted to say I really enjoy seeing your videos. After a busy day, and particularly in these uncertain times, they bring much calm and inspiration. I’m sure many of your subscribers feel the same way. Keep it up!
I come here multiple times and remember another thing every time. I also come because you arnt a review channel..i have enough artist grade watercolors to last me till i live to at least 500..every new paint introduced has made me feel that i need it to be a better watercolorist faster. I dont have much time left....but that said, there arnt alot of reviews of this paint..i watched one then bought...now to actually learn about them.
Particularly interesting video today, Eric. Have not seen a comparison of brands done like this before. Thanks for sharing your kind thoughts and ongoing encouragement to a struggling newbie watercolorist. Wetness/dampness control......grrrrr.
I think your painting has greatly improved!! And I love the the new colors. I'm working on my palette choices right now and as much as I love the Holbein colors that Andy suggests, I have noticed that a lot of studies in the mentoring class are really dull. I love this painting!! Be blessed and stay healthy!!
Thank you for the very informative comparison and demonstration, but especially for your thoughtful words at the beginning. These are not easy times - for me it is such a joy to be able to interact with watercolor from time to time. Writing from Berlin, Germany.
I just found you, and your beautiful watercolors, glad I did. Thank you for your intro and sincerity. Our world is very crazy right now, makes me sad! So on that note, thank you for what you bring and share to us all!
Eric you brought me peace and joy 2020 and helped me to cope by painting watercolors and I purchased the brushes you use and use them everyday. Thank you for all your wonderful tutorials.
What a lovely video and painting! You have such a calm and sincere manner…. I have a wide variety of watercolours but I’m trying to settle on a main brand. I think I will try a few of these. The softness really appeals to me. The water in your painting is stunning! I recently ordered your brush set as well.
Reading comments, i see i'm not alone. Thank you for another exemplary video, Eric. You continue to impress me with your deep humanity, over and above (but surely not separate from) your art. Your compassion often shows and is plainly heartfelt. May you know peace and happiness in return and may all your viewers benefit as well. As you wish!
Thank you for your sincere words. You are right. It is very rough here in the U.S. right now because nothing is the way it has been all my life. Art helps so much.
I just got a set of Maimeriblu watercolor paints to try. Your video was very helpful. Especially the cars side by side comparing to the other brand paints. You painting at the end is beautiful. I love how it turned out. I’m gonna film myself using the new paints just to see how it looks compared to my other set. I think that helps to see the difference and know which one I like better.
Thank you for your warm message at the into to the beautiful painting. It is obvious you have worked very hard to master your skills with watercolour. You are an inspiration!
Hi Eric, thank you for your positive message in the beginning. I love this painting and the MaimeriBlu colors. Your tip of thinking twice before adding details - I'm going to post that on a sticky for my desk! Happy New Year to you and your family!
Lovely painting Eric. Love the water it has come up a treat. Much appreciate your heart felt message, thank you. I’m pleased you can find some stability in your life through painting with all that is happening in the US. All the very best to you and your family for 2021.
I really appreciate your kind and beautiful message! Thank you! Your insights are very useful and clear, and the watercolor is so awesome, transparent, foggy and lovely! Thank you so much and stay safe!
Love your process & how you simplify. I’m working at it. Appreciate that you contribute what you can - if we all do that it makes a difference. Thank you
Nice video! it is refreshing to see a male making art and reviewing art supplies...not that it makes too much difference as they all seem to give pretty truthful reviews! Thank you!
I absolutely love their Golden Lake but, for some reason or another, I’ve found it really hard to get a hold of. Thanks for the little island of peace 🙏✨
Ok now i have watched the second half of the video, and let me say the painting looks 100% perfect, absolutely 0% overwork (never achieved that gold standard myself 😢), just like a wc painting should look! 👌🎨
you are such an inspiration. I love watching your videos, and I learn so much from you. I recommend you to my Facebook watercolor groups that I belong to all the time.
MB is a honey based paint so that probably explains its softness . I ordered about 9 tubes a few years ago and lived them. Not sure why I haven't re-ordered yet, but I put them in a separate palette. They are still soft and easily rewet. I put them back on my "to buy" list.
P.S. loved. I just pulled out my MB palette. I haven't used it for about 6 months. I can still stick my fingernail in all the paints except one. I have 11 pigments, not 9. I'm inspired now to paint a landscape with them. Thanks, Eric.
I have a 16 color Maimeriblu palette which I absolutely love. I do not know if you noticed, but almost all of the Maimeriblu paints have excellent lightfast rating, even their version of Alizarin crimson.
Your intro message was was of the most genuinely nice things I’ve heard in a long time. Thank you and blessings to you.
Thank you! That means a lot 🥰
You ARE a healing balm. Thank you, Eric.
Thank you for your heart felt message. Your soft spoken narrative and beautiful paintings are a wonderful oasis of calm in this crazy world of chaos...and, I think, I hope, maybe; my painting is getting better thanks to your wonderful tutorials.

Thank you Eric, your peaceful message is so welcome at this time. As to your painting I was impressed with the MaimeriBlue. Lovely scene . Tallahassee

Yes, you are only one person but your gentleness and care for humanity has to spread powerfully.
I truly enjoy watching you paint. You have developed excellent skills and your painting looks lovely.
That is exactly what you do for me, and why I keep coming back. I cannot thank you enough.
