    As a fan of your earlier TV shows I consider you to be a great teacher. I realise you are constantly busy but please don't leave a long time between your educational videos. They are invaluable.

    I have been watching tutorials for months and was getting quite discouraged.. And then I stumbled across this video.. AMAZING!!!!!! I have learned more in 32 minutes then I have in many, many months. Thank you so very much for sharing your talent and wisdom with us.. I now have hope of actually becoming a watercolor artist after all. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! You now have a fan for life in North Carolina.. I am going to purchase your book, and maybe even a piece of artwork. Blessings...

    Love your demo's. Thanks so much. I have yet to achieve landscapes in watercolor. I do best with infant portraits and still life. But I am not even fond of still life! LOL. BTW, the sunsets here where I live are extremely intense and vibrant and I have yet to see a painting close to it without looking unreal. Because its so amazing in reality. Some things one tries to paint that is real, just seems unreal.

    One of the best tips & techniques videos I have seen on here.... Thanks so much for sharing! Would like to know what type of brushes you are using? They don't look like sables as you are quite vigorous with them. I've bought the series 7 and winced at the thought of using them as you do with yours.

    Mr Evans, Your trees (and art) are amazing/stunning and fabolous. I recently came across your channel and going over your videos.
    I love it how you keep it simple and creative, and one can tell you love what you are doing, no matter if it is a pile of rock or a full big board of painting you are doing at the moment.
    Your enthusiasm and passion comes through. Thank you for sharing your techniques, valuable thoughts and your own style and ways.
    This kind of art what makes my heart jump! Your creativity and experience combined with your talent, what a perfect combination.
    I always wanted to try painting landscapes (Do or do not, but don't try, as Yoda said, haha).
    Talent is something you either have or you don't. It can be that easy ;) otherwise, it would be never ever be the same if the two of us would paint the same thing, with same movements, brunshes, paints, etc. standing next to each other in the same room. Because you have it in you, and you know how and where to place the colours cos you know what you are doing and what you would like to achieve n the paper, and I might not, but just dreaming about it.
    Unfortunately (or fortunately, because I love my profession too) I work in finance/economic field but painting became my (expensive) hobby under covid in 2020. And I love it.
    I've learnt a lot since, but I guess you'd have good laughs if you'd see my "art" :D :D (sometimes I laugh hard too) but I do it for fun and it makes me feel wonderful, and a strict guide or limiting my options would kill the game for me. I like to find my own ways too, and through experience and practice.
    I learn a lot from your videos - thank you, I truly appreciate it! I absorb it as a sponge can absorb water. I cannot wait to finally use my A3 size cotton paper which I did not dare to use yet.
    Greetings from Hungary and happy new year for 2024!
    edit: I just found out about your books and ordered 2. 🥳
