“Water color is a water based paint so it’s not just about how u paint but how you use the water”
Been in art school 2 years and that’s the best advice I’ve gotten about water color I’m excited to try it again with that in mind

[JuhusOnY]

"omg, theyre an artist."
* follows *

I learned more from you in seven minutes than I have from all my art teachers.

I have to tell you that a couple years ago I got interested in doing water color. I followed this tutorial and copied the image of this girl that you taught.
A couple years before this I became great friends with my neighbor. My husband was working a ton and she was a single mom so our relationship grew into more of a co-parenting relationship with our combined 7 children. Her 3 girls and my 4 boys.

For a while I had the kids do water color with me. The youngest girl discovered her love for art and was always drawing after that. She was 6 at the time.

A couple months ago the girls were traveling with their dad and got in a car accident and all 3 girls passed away. I found the water color image I made and realized the version I did resembled the oldest girl. It was also special to me because I made that image while I was with them. It inspired me to make a water color image for the other 2 girls. I put it on a 4”x 4” canvas and glued the dried flowers from their funeral to make up their clothing, bouquets, and put a flower in their hair and then I gave the canvases to their mom.

Such a small and simple thing, but it was a ripple effect of you sharing your talent.

Other than best tutorial, your voice is really soothing. It makes me feels calmer.

How I do the "wet on wet" technique:
"oh, firstly, some water right?"
*splashes some water*
"now, paint!"
*turns around to paint with watercolor*
"what"
*searches for the water*
"where tf is my water, it was here"
*repeats action for like one hour*

"You'll need plenty of brushes"

*looks at one cheap brush i got at dollar tree*

Shit...

[MartaPulido_Makeup]

I started studying art a few years ago and got so frustrated because I hated the way I was being taught so I gave up and I haven't picked up a brush since then (except from makeup brushes, I'm a makeup artist lol). It was my dream for a big part of my life to be an artist, and I guess I am in a different way, but It still makes me so sad when I think about how something I loved so so much suddenly got asociated to a negative feeling in my mind... I've tried to retake it so many times and failed, I never felt inspired enough.. And your video just made me really wanna try again and be creative so thank you so much, I'm gonna get some paper and find my old watercolor palette and start creating again :)
Thank you so much, this video really made a difference to me

i'm french and i find that it's so cute when you say "voilà" (sorry for by bad english)

[kiikiibear]

I better not be the only one with a 5 dollar pallet here-

[ficread]

I find myself desperately wanting to create art again, whether it's to paint, draw or color. But then when I have all my supplies out and get ready to get to work... I lose my motivation because I don't know what to paint, or I feel it's ugly. And so I just put all the stuff back and do something else, like browse the net and waste time :/

[jungkookisminealone]

[bryantubola]
