"I'm trying to share what I wish I had" Wow. Thank You ☺

[metalgrootvader]

Really enjoyed this. As a kid and teen I always had a sketchbook and loved to draw. Adulthood and life got me away from that. I'm now 49 and have noticed I am missing that creativity in my life and thought adding watercolors to drawings could be cool. Thanks for the great video.

0:00 to 1:30 ...as if I didn't respect and like you enough. I'm really glad your channel has gone so well. You really seem like a great person and I'm proud to support you and your art.

Hi Alphonso, I've been with you from the beginning and will be with you for as long as you're willing to do these videos. Your artwork leaves me speechless, which, paradoxically, can be observed by me talking out loud to your videos. Things like, "oh my god, " and "no way, " are pretty common things that come out of my mouth as I watch the magic unfold. You're a genius, and your generosity in doing these videos is a true gift to us all. My sincerest thanks.

Hi there! OMG! I so excited! During the plandemic I taught myself how to watercolor by watching video on YT. Watercolor was ALWAYS my evil nemesis. The only medium I didn't understand because of my dyslexia. Then I bought these TOMBO Ink pens, made in Thailand. I didn't knw what to do with them. Ive even forgotten how to draw. The other day I started drawing. Theses pens are a trip! Then I added my watercolor. When everything dried the result was incredible! Now I am addicted! I found you.. and have fallen in love! Thank you so much for being here!! I went to you website too! WOW!!You are amazing! Thank you thank you thank you! xoxo

[virginiaholliday]

You are so amazing! I'm shocked to hear that you're self taught! You do indeed have a gift. Thank you for sharing it with us. I'm learning so much from you!

[brendasheets]

Thank you so much not only for sharing your talent but your reassurance as you speak makes it easier for those of us who are still intimidated by art to listen and learn.

[lesleygoren]

thank you, I've watched a bunch of your videos and finally had a breakthrough moment today where I finally feel like I "got" watercolors! I used to only use gouache in an opaque fashion, so the idea of transparent layers was daunting for me. But your videos and language about layers really helped, you are a wonderful teacher and artist!!

[ronkway]

Thankful for YouTube folks like you. I’m 51 and without the tutorials from everyone I would still be light years behind. Wish this was around when I was a child. Thank you for sharing.

[JulieBarneson]

I love how your flowers turned out! thanks for sharing how to work with watercolor.

[ahaby]

Sir, you are the best teacher on the web as far as I'm concerned. I've been watching many of your tutorials for the past few days and barely drawing just because I was enjoying your teaching ways so much. As a teacher myself, for more than 25 years, and always a pupil, I have to acknowledge a master of the trade when I see him and you are one.
Thanks so much for your generosity. I will be basing my next months of learning to draw on your lessons. I feel I have found a treasure.
And of course, if you ever want to learn maths, I'm your man!

And yet another super tutorial on flowers!!! The one I was waiting for so long!!!

I was about to abandon water color because I sucked at it. It always look liked like gouache in the end.
But now you give me the courage to try it again in a different ways.

And it was the same with my design.
I was about to give up but since I began to watch your tutorial... it is hard to explain.
It is like listening to you help me dig down my buried talents that were 6 feet under the ground.

So thank you again for your excellent work and also to be the best teacher of all time.
Thank!!! :)

8 years on and this is EXACTLY what I needed.thank you! Also how raw videos were back in the mid 2010s 💕

"Beautiful..."
I too am self-taught... and I agree with you about not having a heavy hand on the "Ink" (I still use India Ink and a cheap nib) OLD SCHOOL ... LOL... and I thought I was the only one to "layer" the colors...
You do a Great Job... Love your tutorials... ;)

[c.t.]

Self-taught? So I have hope?
Your style is amazing and I love your videos. Thank you for sharing with us.

[LindaMcClellanofh]

I'm just trying to learn how to watercolor and your tutorial has really helped me. I had no idea that even used a pen with your paint. I have learned something already and I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Plus you seem so laid back it makes it easier for me to follow. Thanks again!

[carrielea]

Very cool! I draw the piece, then paint, then I use pen over it. I started watercoloring with cheap kids set.

[lanadee]

I LOVE YOUR TUTORIALS !! also i love how you still interact with everyone even though youre so huge now

[anascolina]

Thank you so much! I didn't have anyone who can teach me to paint (somehow, none of the art teachers in my school draw or paint -they're more on the "history of art" teacher, if you know what I mean. They can't draw). Nobody around me can draw (or have time to sit down and draw with me), and parents didn't allow me to go to art school or take art/painting course either, so I was really on my own, and it was a really lonely world. It really is a blessing that now we have the internet and infrastructure supporting it. Watching your videos motivates me to take another try on drawing and watercolor (I really suck at it, and wish I have someone who can show me how to use it properly). Thank you for laying it down so clearly, and simply. I will continue watching your videos and listening to your explanations. They really are the best! Like having a brother who teaches me to draw and paint. Thank you. I have a 2 year old daughter. She's been my motivation as well. One day, I will show her your video too!
