    I swore to my self-taught self that I would never try painting light again, but now I think I can! Thanks so much for teaching an 80-yr-old some tricks!

    For the first time, I don’t feel tense when watching a watercolor tutorial. You don’t stress me out on the speed needed for wet on wet .. instead, it was a steady languid pace, where there’s time to mix the color that works. Thank you so much, you are a fantastic teacher.. and I’ve watched many others already 😂

    Well, I’m gobsmacked! I’ve always enjoyed watercolors and have never understood how a picture like this is constructed. I’d heard about layering colors and had no idea what that meant either. It was fascinating to watch you build this picture up, bit by bit. It seems a form of magical reverse archeological dig, so to speak. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.

    Thank you, Matthew! You are an exceptional teacher and painter. Your calm and clear instruction has enabled me to do what I didn't think I was capable of and watching you create your beautiful paintings is nothing short of magical. The step by step tutorials with various images are particularly helpful and I appreciate that you include specific colors, brushes and techniques used. At the moment, I'm struggling with trees/greenery and not filling every space, slowly learning that less is more-lol. I look forward to each new tutorial and watch them multiple times.

    Thanks Matthew I really appreciate the lessons..I am having trouble getting light glowing with watercolors and simplifying the scenes I paint. Used acrylics in past in glazes on large projects. After illness I am just back to small sketches I add watercolors and or gouache to. So different to acrylics!! Thanks so much for inspiring me!! I get frustrated without understanding what I am doing wrong and how to improve!! Maybe more on how to really simplify things for painting and values. Also limited pallet work. I cannot afford as many colors as you used. ❤ and 😊 thanks from Canada 🍁.
