"not paint water" lol I need that mug

Tip: If you use watercolor pencils that match the colors you will be putting paint over, this will eliminate the ugly pencil graphite lines that can’t be erased after you paint over them but still show through the paint. The pencil lines will simply blend in with the rest of the painting and disappear once you paint over them.

A severe case of artists' block has got me into the mode of watching art videos and tutorials for too long, desperately trying to find something to motivate me and kick my butt into gear - to start DOING art instead of watching. Your work is (or looks) so simple yet is still amazing.
So I just got that kick I needed and it hurts in a good way.
Thank you sooo much for that. I also subscribed.xx

This tutorial is one of my faves. It's clear, concise and well done. Thanks for making painting beautiful waves achievable! I have one request: if it's not too much trouble could you elaborate a bit more on how you paint the white ink foam ripples? They look very realistic when you paint them. I'm having trouble making them look realistic.

I've made some bookmarks out of my paintings, they are not as pretty as your waves but I love what I've created and it makes me happy to see them between the pages in the books that I'm studying with :) Thank you for the tips and ideas!

Thank you so much for so thoughtfully sharing your skill on water colour waves! I have been pinning every Wave both large and small to get a feel for those elusive foam and light patterns. So, now I get it!! Freaking awesome!!👍👍👍😁

Please make more videos like this! It's really nice to have these step by steps for people who have always wanted to learn how to watercolor paint but are too intimidated to start!
Also, the supply list was v. helpful, since I would have no idea what I am doing/what to look for in the stores. Thank you for the informative tutorial!

I use watercolour a lot but I always try to stay exactly within the lines of my sketches. This video just reminded me how beautiful watercolour is when you just let lose

Did anyone else fall asleep to this after a couple months worth of borderline insomnia?

The technique, soothing voice, calming music ***chef's kiss***

I'm one of this silent watchers, never comment; but now I have to. Only by watching your videos I feel like I can become better with art, you are so amazing! Your art is stunning as well, but it's your way to explain and how you talk about yourself and your art that makes me... inspired? You are a genius, thank you so much for all your hard work, thank you! And if you really became an art teacher some day, I quite sure that you would be amazing. We don't know eachother, but I hope that you will never loose yourself and the way your are. Thanks again for being you and our all great teacher here! (And sorry for my English...)

In class we were asked to write about someone we are inspired by an I wrote about the lovely dude who made this super chill amazing video! Thank you!

[VioletEvergreene]

I never thought much of watercolor before. This is my favorite watercolor video EVAR! Now, I want to watercolor! I didn't know you could get results like this with watercolor before! Also, your
laid back easy way of explaining what to do makes me think I could actually try this and get my kids involved. In anycase, I could have this video playing in the background all day long! Well done, and amazing art!

[benjones]

Your videos are the only constant form of happiness I can find in this crazy world. Honestly, I am so thankful to you

[Molloy]

Your simple-to-follow techniques and calming voice made this one of the best tutorials I've seen!

Keep being you, brother!
