another tip: work from light to dark. You can't lighten surfaces that are painted with watercolour pigments, but you can darken them. white can be achieved by leaving spaces blank on the white paper, or by adding in white details in acrylic paint.

I enjoyed your calm practical advice and would enjoy seeing videos of painting trees, flowers, especially bouquets, and landscapes. I’m stuck at home (69 years old) and have always wanted to do watercolors. Thank you!

Thank you. There is nothing more pleasing than a wife and husband being successful and giving back together. This video was good and informative. I love the examples given. Good stay near these two.

I've watched so many tutorials on YouTube, and this was, by far, the most helpful video I've ever seen

This is a great video: you cover 6 tips in 6 minutes! No unnecessary padding to make it too long just straight to the point. If you're an absolute beginner and you feel it was too fast, then you can learn what it is you need to look for next in more detail. Thanks for a good starting point 👍🏻

I’ve been playing with watercolour for a couple of months now and every other tutorial I’ve found has been way too complicated, the techniques are the same but they were over explained and I got lost. Thank you guys for keeping it short sweet and informative, I look forward to coming back

Incredibly lovely seeing natural looking people wearing casual and normal clothing! It works like receiving a warm and friendly smile and hello: welcome to a normal world! Thank you!

I‘m just getting into watercolor but I‘ve found it really helpful to keep a paper towel nearby. It’s really easy to soak up the paint if you mess up, you can even dump water on a mistake and clear it almost entirely.

While these are good tips, I truly believe all watercolor is 'right' and there is never any 'wrong.' Watercolor can be realistic, abstract, or somewhere in between. When you paint with your soul there is no telling what will come of it. Whatever the end product, it is art and it is perfect!

I become great fã of watercolors with my 73 years old. Great lesson😉

Basic but important tips that are so useful for an absolute beginner like me. Concise, no beating around the bush. Thank you!

[peterm.]

Thank you! Clear, to the point, no BS. And a very welcoming temperament.

I actually love when the colors bleed into one another you can also do wet on wet when you soak the paper and then purposely have your colors. Mix on the paper can create such a beautiful painting.

Me as an artist study for 3 years I just learn something new! Watercolor! Thanks guys

Thank you for this lovely presentation. I have painted in watercolours on and off for many years, but lately am finding that the paint is drying around twenty percent lighter in its intensity than when applied. I'm fairly sure I didn't have to exaggerate the intensity more than ten percent in past experience. I use Arches paper and Winsor and Newton artist quality paints which have always been reliable. I seldom use wet in wet because I work in the open air and cannot dry the paper artificially. I like the accidental effects of bleed across the colour washes - your example was beautiful. Watercolour cannot be completely controlled; and the little accidents create moments of magic

Canson has a good 140 pound cold press paper for beginners with 30 pages to explore on. It still has the teeth you need but not so pricey. Good to practice on: draw from a photo or try a fresh flower. Just explore the shape and colors and enjoy. Thank you for your nicely-made video. I am a grandma and have been painting in watercolor for over 10 years. I keep on learning and enjoy others who are doing watercolor too. Have a wonderful day!
