Thank-you for the reminder on how important little studies are. Happy new year

Wishing you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Steve thank you for all you do .

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. The top two remind me of days gone by lazing on the grass and looking up in awe at the intricate complexity of nature. Good memories. Great studies.

This is an awesome lesson! I noticed in your videos that the trees are especially detailed and lively, very organic! You make these things we take for granted so interesting. Thank you for sharing!

Man I needed that study, fantastic Christmas gift . A big thank you and a healthy merry Christmas to you Steve and family. 👏👏👏👏👍🇨🇦

Merry Christmas, Steve. This video is a special present to me. Bless you. I love figure drawing, painting but I’ve moved far out in a rural area and have run low out of money for gas and drawing meet ups. Can’t go to the coffees shop to draw people. So now I’m doing the trees and landscape. I really love it! I love the beauty of the trees and trying to capture it. Landscapes are new for me. Plus I follow my cats around and try to draw them while they are moving. Also the sheep and chickens. 😄

Just wonderful all your videos we cobble them up one after the other many thanks

This is so amazing, Steve! And hope your wife is doing much better. Sending love and positive vibes to you!

That was lovely. Very inspiring and informative. The subject was so simple but the results were glorious 😍

I love your work..demos..and refreshing manner..God bless you and your family and Merry Christmas from Ohio

Merry Christmas and prayers for your wife. Love Reese and your videos .

Absolutely gorgeous! Hope your wife is having a good recovery. I missed hearing about her operation. Hope you and all of your loved ones are having a wonderful 2019 and that the year will be a wonderful one for you!

Merry Christmas! I'm praying for you and your wife as she recovers. Thank you for being such an inspiration to me, and for guiding me in my watercolor adventures! I can believe how much my painting has improved , between the techniques and using equipment and paper that you have demonstrated. God continue to bless you! ❤

Loved this one, I have a photo on my phone as my backdrop. It was taken in early spring, bare trees set against a blue sky. I too love the branches.

Great lesson! Thank you.

Wonderful, I enjoyed learning this.

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a healthy New Year. Hope your wife gets well soon. Thank you for gifting us with your gift all year.

Best wishes to you and your wife, hope she feels better soon. Have a great and blessed Christmas Steve. ...Reese too!

OH I LOVED that!!!!! I plan to do some study's of my own... thanks for the video!!!

Awesome video, great teacher!

I think it's great this video with your four explorations and comments about it. I love watching and listening to it. I try to take your teachings 😁🤩.

thank you and merry christmas to you too!!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Oh, Steve, one of my two favorite subjects, birds and trees!!!! What a Christmas gift you have given me!! Thanks so much. I will watch this one several times, and I have learned so much from it about watching the way the branches grow. I love to study tree branches, too. I hope you and your dear wife and family have a very blessed Christmas and a wonderful New Year. God bless you all, and thank you for your wonderful teaching. You will never know how much you mean to this old painter down in Savannah!

Such good information...I always learn something from your channel. Have a wonderful Holiday and New Year. Hope your wife makes a speedy recovery.

How have I missed this video for so long? I started wc about 1 1/2 years ago, independently did a few branch paintings and I'm certainly encouraged to continue on from this excellent video. You are the best, Steve! If I wasn't in the red I'd be a patron.

Thank you for your video and art design explanation. I always wanted to take an art class and feel like your explanations were informative. I will try to listen to other of your videos and try your watercolor suggestions.

Wow!!! Love your tree branches and woody roots. So beautiful. The uh look so realistic. Thank you. I love trees and struggle so trying to paint or draw them. You make it look so easy and I know it is not.

All of your videos are so fantastic and I'm learning so much! I've always loved the patterns of leafless branches against the sky in Winter. I haven't been able to successfully express what I'm seeing before now. I bought a rigger and it practically paints the branches itself! Your instruction makes watercolor painting a lot less overwhelming for me. Thank you so much!

Thank you! I really learned a great deal. I hope your wife is on the mend and that you and your family have a Happy, Healthy Holidays.

Just found this wonderful tree branch study and can't thank you enough for it. I have a photo that I took of a sleeping snow- covered, climbing rose bush in my garden and this will help me to attempt to paint it. I'm a lover of trees and nature and your tutorials have helped me so much and I'm very grateful. It is now Dec. 2020 and I send all good wishes to you and your family for a happy, safe and joyous Christmas and a blessed 2021. Many thanks, Steve!

Thanks for your wonderful tutorials this past year. So interesting and informative. Praying for healing for your wife. Merry Christmas and a new year filled with God’s blessings to you and your family.

Loved it. Thank you.

Could not believe you were doing a demo on precisely the topic of tree branches that I have tried to master for the last few months!! BRILLIANT! Thank you Steve for this watercolour Christmas present. Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and good wishes for your wife. 🎄🙏🎨

Wonderful video! I am a lover of trees for the reasons you describe. Branches offer endless possibilities for design and elegance. I work in pen and ink and take hundreds of tree photos. MI love tramping through woods discovering drawing possibilities. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year and many rewarding drawing and painting adventures.

Lovely!

I am so excited to practice what you are showing us Steve! I have avoided branch studies, as it looks so intricate. I appreciate your observations and style so much! Merry Christmas, and many prayers sent for your wife’s healing recovery!😉

Thank you for a wonderful Christmas present. When I watched this video the first time I went out in my own little yard and took pictures of the winter trees there. They are waiting for me to put the holidays away. Now, Christmas morning, I treated myself to another viewing of your video before the house gets crazy. Your quiet voice is a meditative way to start the day. I'm hoping your wife is doing well, recovering nicely. And I hope you are, too. The Good Lord knows it is often just as hard for family, especially spouses, when they watch their loved one struggle. Peace be with you, and Merry Christmas!

Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and skills all year. Merry Christmas to you and your family and all good wishes for 2019. :)

I LOVE these! I really enjoyed this video and the idea of design first. Very interesting. Trees are one of my most favorite things....I could do this all day long! And this was a great way to play and practice and experiment. Thanks so much for sharing and Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope your wife is well soon.

Wishing your wife a full and speedy recovery, Steve, and you and your family a blessed Christmas season. 🤗✨🎨
