    I’ve watched many painting demonstrations on KZread and this is possibly the best one I’ve seen. The painting is stunning and looks effortless although I know better. However I will still give it a try.

    This short videos was very educational. Thank you, Robert. In addition to making the effective light in the sky, I especially liked your method of making the reflections in the water, and the purposeful dropping of water to make the beautiful blooms on the dark trees on the left. Just beautiful!

Just watching you paint is educational and beautiful. Thank you . Now I might try to follow you paint in this video and see what comes on paper when I do it. Hope it will not be to frustrating but it is worth trying . Will have to watch this video multiple times for sure. Again thank you. 0:14

    So beautiful. I have to confess it would be challenging for me to do all that you did all in one go. Hard for me as a viewer to determine how fast your paper is drying vs still damp and how that allows you to keep adding more details such as the bg, trees and reflections. Lovely end result.

    If I follow your brush strokes and use similar colors, mine would turn out to be a murky mess. The more I practice the more I admire watercolorists like you who can master this medium. I am so used to see everything 3D but to paint well the visual is 2D of light and shadow. Watercolor is more difficult because of the translucency and layering.
