I used to do art since very very young age. I quit and regret that since focusing on something else and abandoning what I love wasnt the right thing to do. I started again some months ago refreshing all that I learned looking for some relief to my depression and severe anxiety problems. I wanted so bad to do watercolor but didnt knw where to start. I found your video and it helped me so much. Ive been trying still quite a mes ha ha ha but Ill keep trying. Im a mother of 8, I always find my time and space to do art since its what helps me control my anxiety.

I used to do all kinds of art when I was young, but life was very difficult and it overwhelmed me and prevented me from carrying on with art. Now, decades later, through my own children, my desire to do art is being revived again. I just lack the confidence, I feel like "I can't", and like you said, don't know where to begin. Thank you for boosting my confidence. I can do this. I can learn. Little steps. Thank you!

These are my favourite beginner videos on Youtube, Mako. You have a gift for teaching. Beginners need the detailed verbal description of what you are doing and why and you do this so well.

This is the video I wish I had seen when I was first starting. It would have saved me money and nearly throwing in the towel when the cheap supplies didnt perform like I wanted.

Finally, a video that makes me feel confident in not ruining my art supplies. I was gifted beautiful supplies of premium quality but have dreaded "ruining" them for almost a year. Time to start creating! Thank you! <3

Pretty great! I actually discovered that I don't have talent during this process, very interesting.

In my art class today we had an hour to do a painting, watercolour or oil paint. I used your techniques that I saw in the video and my art teach said she loved it! Thank you so much! Have an awesome day! 🌺😊🌼

So, I never comment on YouTube videos, but I’m so excited. I’ve always wanted to do watercolor painting but I’m not an artist and I never knew where to begin and then I found your videos. I’ve learned so much in a very short amount of time. I purchased my set of watercolor essentials and followed along with this paint along. My paintings came out so pretty and I could not be happier. Thanks for providing the space for me to explore this lovely medium. I can’t wait to try more!

I've been using your videos to help myself learn to paint since last year. Wet on wet is still a little rough for me but my wet on dry has really improved! Thank you.

[bryantherocker]

You are not only a beautiful woman, but your also an amazing artist, that's why kids are having a hard time painting with watercolor, I think it's one that takes more skill and is harder to control than other mediums like acrylic, oil and pastel

Thank you for this I’m a hair colorist. During this covid19 quarantine I’m not able to work. The artist in me needed to color, watercoloring caught my eye.thanks for this during a hard time for me. I love the gradient effect, I do a lot of that on haircolor ❤️

[hunana]

this video is very calm. And what i like abt art is that we cant expect the marvelous final result in the end after a long process

[lightsinthesky]
