It's been a long time since I last visited your channel. I remember during my highschool days, I usually watch your videos which helped me a lot in my watercolor journey!! But I got busy as time goes on so I haven't touched my watercolors in a while.
I am a freshman in architecture student now and I forgot some of the basics in watercolor that I lost some of my confidence... That's why here I am! I'm glad that you're still making videos. Keep it up!!!! 😊❤️

I just want to thank you for your content. After binging your water color videos I moved to your beginner ones, then your tutorials. They made me feel like I this is something I can do! Your book has also been a must have on hand in my journey. I'm still at the beginning but I'm more excited than scared. So thank you 😊

I’m so glad you’re back! Totally understand if you gotta go again, but I’m happy for all of your videos (and your book)!

At first i thought I needed as many colors as possible. Then I got overwhelmed. So I bought just a set of primary colors. Then I got blended colors muddy. So I bought 20-color sets. Non watercolor paper, even after applied a layer of watercolor medium paste, still doesn’t function well. I bought student grade paper is big size to cut into A4 size to doodle. I bought quite a few brushes from big swiping ones to tiny brushes and everything in between. I got really overwhelmed, like having every size and function golf clubs but not able to use any club well. I thought I needed big belly brush to have enough paint but color got out of control. I switched to slimmer brush, only to run out of paint too early. Don’t get me started on masking fluid. That whole endeavor was super frustrating.

I love the video & really appreciate the approach.... but your website has me about ready to scream. I would very much like to get the guides, but there's no link to anything but the privacy policy. It says by submitting my email I agree to terms, and there's nowhere to do that, either. Is it me, am I missing something? Where are the LINKS?? Buttons? Newsletter?

In your brush set there were two brushes with dual tips I mean there was a fine tip and slightly thicker tip .what kind of those brushes are? I have never seen such brushes

Hi Mako do you know why that aches paper isnt bright white. I dont like to paint on off white it makes my art not right. Whats your thought and advice on this?
