    These feathers are way more prettier than the actual ones and feels like it fell off from pheonix or something that dont exit in real world. ♥♥♥

    I started water color about a week ago. I've learned everything everything I know from UA-cam, but mostly you. Thanks so much for your time and videos. I have a long way to go obviously lol but you make it seem so achievable. I love when you speak on enjoying the process. I catch my self being frustrated and them I'm like "Why? This is my fun time" ha

    This was VERY helpful. I am one of those frustrated artists usually work with oils and acrylics and this is definitely been a challenge not in the way I thought I recently upgraded my supplies and I’m going to keep trying and not try to manipulate so much, trying to work with the water and colors. Thank you for the note about less water on paper vs. more water on brush. ✌️🙏👍

I can’t wait to try your helpful tips you mentioned in your video. I am using a cheaper brand of paper to. So that might have something in part with my problems. Thank you again.

    I spent 3 hours on this... I really struggled with wet & wet as a beginner, but I’m happy about how it turned out!! Definitely it’d be better with cotton papel, mine’s just absorbed water so quickly. Thanks for your advice and step by step, Mako, you’re a star!!! 🙌🏻

    Dear Mako,
    I've always tried to paint with watercolors, but the results were always bad, because I didn't know anything about watercolor or just paint. And then, one day I found your channel and started to look your tutorials and you know what ? Today, I can say that I like my paintings and it's all because of you. So thank you a lot :-)
    Also, your tutorials are really relaxing, it seems easy to paint while listening to your videos.
    P.S you said something really important in this video : people should less think and more appreciate the moment of painting, see what's coming out, let the creation comes by itself.
    (I'm french so my english is probably bad, I'm sorry)
