Thanks so much, now go do some painting 😉
I just now discovered this...many of the botanical artists use very tiny spotter or liner brushes...you made me realize it is completely artist preference.. I love your thoughtful approach to all things watercolor.
I just knocked out five paintings the last two days on my channel. I strive to become better at photo realistic quality. Thanks for your demonstrations. Your really good at what you do.

Very kind thanks. Seeking to inspire is my greatest goal!
Exquisite! Clean and simple.
Botanical's are my very favorite. I love how you show us how to glaze and blend. It's just so very helpful. As far as botanical's are concerned what can be better than to study the workings and beauty of nature. I also want you to know that I love that you are a gentleman which is getting harder to find these days.
Love this work the most. Thank you for showing and explaining this to us.🥰👍
I love this video, I have watched it several times. Thanks so much for sharing!
This is the first video of yours I have watched. It is very helpful and all the other resources you have provided are great. Thanks. I look forward to learning from you.
I love your videos! From the intro, the music you use and of course your beautiful art and the information you so graciously share...all of it is wrapped up in a perfectly presented video. Oh...and I really appreciate the verses you put at the end of your videos. Thanks so much. :-)

WOW!!! Looks like I could pick it up. Thank you for sharing!!!
I bow down.... really loved it
Such a great and informative video! Thank you!
For me these tutorials are hitting the right spot. Really appreciate them - thank you. I'm told I've produced some half-decent watercolour pictures in the past but I've always been aware that my techniques are pretty woeful. So having decided to go back to basics and learn good (and lasting) techniques I stumbled across your tutorials - and they are easily the best I've found. Much appreciated...

Such a pleasure watching this evolve! 👍👍
Thank you that looks awesome 👍
Amazinggggg
I love this ! the colors are beautiful and it is so realistic, the middle vein has so much demention .
Very nice. I liked watching how you softened the edges on the layers to get the smooth color transitions - I'll have to practice this. Thank you!
I am not a watercolor artist, but I love this channel anyway! It can give me pointers about illustration, but the thing about watercolor that I think in a way separates it from other mediums is that I actually like watching people paint using watercolor.

Love this. I think I can do it.
I really enjoy the way you paint. Greetings from Spain!
So, I have been addicted to your videos since I found you recently, your videos are so well demonstrated and helpful and now that I know you’re a Star Wars fan I think you may have just become my favorite youtuber 😁
Well, now I'm a fan. I've watched a few of your videos now and really appreciate - almost as much as your content! - your in-focus filming, interjecting some humor without rambling, and editing to make your videos easily and enjoyably watchable.

+Pamela Goodman She's a total inspiration for sure. Thanks for watching.
Very realistic and beautiful like nature. The blue shadows made it very 3D and really drew me in to the painting. The background music was beautiful, as I could imagine the leaf drifting and falling. Thank you.
Best watercolour video, makes it seem simple!
This's helps me a lot, thank you
