    I just had one of your tutorials randomly pop up a couple of weeks ago here on you tube. I started to try watercolor a couple of years ago and gave up. Luckily, I never got rid of my supplies! I have ordered and received a no.3 rigger and a 12 round and can’t wait to pick it up again! Paul, you have a way, no wait..a “gift”, of presenting and teaching watercolor so that it is not so intimidating! I can’t thank you enough for sharing your gift and talents with all of us! God bless you, sir!😃👍

    Thank you!!! A SPECTACULAR demonstration of the basic techniques one needs to become a competent watercolourist. Just practice this sequence of steps repeatedly to become skilled at watercolor (regardless of the subject matter one favors).
    As so many others agree, you are an excellent and conscientious teacher, keeping the demonstration uncomplicated but not forgetting to mention the details that elevate the skill set and make the finished piece better. Thanks again!

    This is the project for Sunday 24th January. Today’s was the Mexican building, put in a dog and man having a siesta. Turned out to be really good, very pleased. Tomorrow I want to do the poppy field. Love the free flow of the paint washes. I am really enjoying watching and learning and the results are great, thank you for giving me the confidence to try.

    Paul, I just adore your videos! Even though I am a watercolor painter and not an oil painter, I have always loved watching Bob Ross' videos because of his calming voice and fun, carefree approach, with the occasional humorous remark. Now I believe I have found the Bob Ross of watercolor. Your light, unintimidating approach makes it feel so fun and comfortable, and your great sense of humor only adds to it. All of which only enhances the already beautiful work you do. Thank you and I will be watching your videos for life!!

You are the greatest, funniest, most talented teacher I have come across, bar none! I look forward to every Wednesday and mess around with w/c on my own the other six days of the week. Truly addicting. But that's ok.
