    Thank you so much!
    Do you know what I really like about your videos? Apart from you being a very good teacher of watercolour, I also see a definite difference between your way of painting and explaining in your older and newer recordings. Your way of painting is always growing and developing and you take us by the hand to show us that, too. So generous! I admire all your older paintings as well, don't get me wrong, but it is so lovely (and encouraging to me! ) to see this growth in an accomplished painter such as yourself. I have learned so much from you over the last couple of years, and I am very grateful and want to thank you . I quite often recommend you videos to painter friends, and I'm always telling them to have a look at them on UA-cam and Skillshare, because you are so precise in your explanations and a good teacher, imo, and I have just realised I have never actually told you.

    Painting with French Ultra Marine, Burnt Sienna and Vandyke Brown has changed my world. I can’t believe the variations in color I can achieve with just 3 colors. Thanks for the color mixing tips!

    Ok so I feel a little kid jumping up and down with glee!! Omg omg omg! I LOVE this and the others you teased us with! Can’t WAIT for THIS tutorial. I have shells and rocks and acorns and bits of nature all over my studio with the aim to paint them “ one of these days” . You just made it look stunningly beautiful, simple to execute and definitely art for the wall coming right up! So many of my friends have beach themes in their homes and I can see some of these gracing their walls! Thank you for this! Love love love! Always something new and exciting from the lovely lady in Oz!

    Absolutely lovely shells! Burnt sienna and French Ultramarine is one of my favorite combinations. Not only do they make a gorgeous gray, but they play off each other (warm/cool) so effectively. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial/demo!

    I am about to paint my first sea shells from my own little collection and needed some guidance. Thank you so much for the excellent instructions, and especially the tip about mixing colours. This tip could be very useful for painting other subjects as well, such as leaves, rocks, brickwork, etc. I also enjoyed you sharing the bloopers at the end! Thank you!

    @annewatman677 3 роки тому +4

    I’ve been watching quite a few watercolor tutorials for the past year, and I keep coming back to you. For whatever reason, this is the style of painting that I enjoy most, and I love the way you mix your colors, allowing them to separate, and picking up different areas. I tried Skillshare for a short time, but I felt like I was paying for a lot of courses that didn’t interest me at all. Plus, having so much available is kind of overwhelming and distracting! I’m going to look at Patreon to see what you’re offering there. Thank you!

    Oh Louise, thank you for sharing. I’m so excited to report that I recently had a happy accident where I discovered this amazing tip of not mixing the paint to vigorously. What an exciting piece I ended up with that day. Joyous for a quasi beginner. I say quasi because I’m not new to watercolor, I just don’t get to paint as often as I’d like for various health reasons, like arthritis for instance. Blessings to you!

I started a project on some clownfish in an anemone that has presented some real challenges but it has been fun to paint. I'd love to see your take on something like this.
