Kristen, your trees are beautiful! Is there any you can go slower so we can see the strokes!

[kendralipscomb]

As a beginner, I love the tutorials that are simple but look complex like this one.

[debrawalters]

I love watching you paint! You challenge me in a good way. Landscapes are difficult for me so the more you do the better! ❤❤❤

[vanessanemeth]

Thank you Kristin! I'm new at this and you make watercoloring fun and accessible.

[Disola]

THANK YOU! Perfect easy tutorial! Loved it!! ❤❤❤❤

I love the simplicity and quickness of this painting style. Makes it much more doable and less intimidating for a beginner!

[leeannesser]

Kristen I LOVE your teaching style! I’ve been painting for several years now and consider myself an intermediate. I love learning about your process, seeing how you break things down and even using a limited pallet! Please keep the tutorials coming!

[happypappy]

I really like this! Thanks for the inspiration and a way of doing things differently and keeping things simple!

[dianesmith]

Really enjoyed this. Am trying to make 'thank you' cards with this type of landscape. Can't wait to try this!

[Hikohiko_K]

This video is easy for me（a very very beginner）to follow，thank you.

[maxineatiyah]

I've just discovered your tutorials, and wow! I love them! Thank you 😊

[Angie-pluw]

Your tutorials are great!😊. I think it’s good for everyone to see the logic behind your painting, and you do that so well. Do continue your more simple landscapes, but an addition of more complex ones with your great explanations is a valuable learning tool.

[jeanshealy]

Wow I just started with watercolor. Thank you for your teaching. My picture turned out good. It is so encouraging to learn and make a painting that looks good. You’re a great instructor, who I enjoy listening to.

Thanks Kristin for this beautiful painting. Telling us to use the side of the brush with swiping motions is always a help as I could see all the steps you made and it came out so naturally. Thank you for your patience and I personally luv the tiny splatters makes it look complete then. Bless you at this time of the year and enjoy your family too who will be super excited 🤗🎄

[kristisparks]

Love this simple tutorial..so beautiful. You're a wonderful tutorial instructor.

[terrimaejones]

Love your loose, somewhat chunky? painting style. Not full of intricate overworked details. Beautiful! Thank you for the tutorial..☃️

[anniesa]

I like how you showed us how to make mountins with the side of the brush. Would love to see more night sky landscapes (maybe with Northern lights) and creating those misty moody landscapes with trees. Ive seen so many tutorials but I like how you make tutorials seem so simple!

[annei]

Thank you so much ! This kind of tutorial are great !! Please continue !!🎉

[amominak]

Wow! This absolutely looks very technically complex🌲. I love it and will give it a try soon🤗✨
