    My mother is a watercolor painter and I’ve always wished I could paint. I never actually watched her process but after watching you for some time I decided to try. It is so helpful to watch from beginning to end. I never realized that there is a method. Working from light color to the more defining darker tones is such an interesting concept to me.

    Thank you! I really appreciate how you talk throughout the video, explaining color, brush sizes, wetness of paint and paper etc.

    I’m just starting with watercolor and seeing a pro walking me through the process so patiently is pure gold. Thank you so much!

    the process of painting the sky fascinated me a lot. The scene is simple - painting is not that simple. It looks great.

    Your contributions are both satisfying and instructive. After several years, I got my watercolor utensils out again and thanks to your films, I was able to paint some nice pictures right away.

    Matt thank you so much. I am a newbie at this craft. Your tips and videos are so helpful. I just followed along with the basic landscape. I took notes. Plan to do one myself of a similar photo I have. It won't look like your picture but I hope to learn as I go. I am over 70 and this is my first venture into art. I have done other things throughout my life but always wanted to try watercolor. My daughter, son-in-law and 8 year old grandson are all very creative and artistic. I never considered myself artistic because I couldn't draw. But I'm getting brave!! I want to paint for the joy of creating. So I will keep practicing. Thank you again Matt. Pat Miller

    Thank you so much for posting this free tutorial. I love watercolor painting, however I am self taught because classes are too expensive where I live. I am always so grateful for content creators who post tutorials for free!

  • @gbenother8755

    I've just subscribed, having discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. This was such an excellent tutorial that it pushed me into my 6th -or maybe 7th- subscription to a UA-cam channel.
    It's amazing to me how many excellent wstercolorists post their work here. In my experience, you have most succinctly stated the "watercolor problem", which is that the qualuties of medium itself -- it's wetness and continual drying.
    I sincerely appreciate that you include instruction in what sort of strokes with what sorts of bushes work best to achieve a painterly effect, while also taking care that the result should appear fresh and not overworked. I'm beginning to think that the very best watercolors are so satisfying because they appear to have been painted spontaneously, and ala fresca. Your works seem to capture that magical quality of the medium, and I very much appreciate your sharing this with us.

    Thank you for sharing this video! I followed along and I'm so pleased with the result, I can't believe that I painted it. I especially love the sky, this method of wetting both sides of the paper has really won me over. I am also a self-taught artist, so thank you for sharing all your knowledge.

I continue on and find myself with mud on my paper. I am going to watch this one over again and give it a try. This is great and you are very inspiring . I can do this. 😄

    I tried wetting both sides of my paper today…it was in a sketchbook but even so worked beyond expectations! The background I wanted to establish before doing detail work came out exactly as I envisioned it and this was because I wasn’t fighting the paper drying out…I had plenty of time to set the color just the way I wanted. Thank you for the greatly appreciated advice and tutorials. 👏🌞🌅

Maybe 1K more in skies, I too will get there. Thanks for the brilliant instruction and taking us on a journey to create something brilliant. Mind you mine looks close to yours, but isn't art really all about interpretation? Thank you for sharing with all of us and allowing us to grow as better artists too.
