you are FANTASTIC! I've watch so many videos that say 'watercolour for beginners' but they are all just videos of someone painting (without speaking) while music plays on a loop (and are no different than their non-beginner videos). You explain EVERYTHING in detail about both supplies and actual painting with no distracting music and have a lovely style of speaking/teaching. THANK YOU :) (Any chance of a pen & wash tutorial?)

Hello Harriet, I ‘found’ you a week ago, when your tutorial on painting chickens popped up. I haven’t painted one yet, but have painted some bees 🐝 and I’m really pleased. I thought I’d go back to basics with your first tutorials. I love your style of teaching, it’s clear, easy to follow and fun. Nice to watch a fellow left handed person at work.

@@deWintonPaperCo Hi, Harriet! I'm in Louisiana and heard about your book in a magazine I purchased here called Project Calm. It's a really nice introduction to your book! So you are officially a worldwide sensation ; )

In two weeks remote-learning school (such as it is :-T) will be over, and a week later I'll be in glorious retreat for eight days in the mountains of California, sheltering-in-place of course, but "elsewhere" nonetheless! I'm watching your digitals, taking notes, and gathering materials for a week of watercolor-get-to-know-you and experiment (as well as napping and reading). Luscious! As I've remarked before, your wonderful and direct teaching style, divvied out in manageable doses comes at the perfect time for this beginner. Thanks again!

Good teaching practice. That exercise wasn't as easy as it looked, it clearly takes a few goes to get the paint consistency right and the paper just wet enough but not too much, but the third shot wasn't bad. This is exciting. Something good from lockdown!

I followed along as you went, my circles were curved at least! Maybe the third idea using linked water circles didn’t go as well because I am using block colours, not tubes. The paint spread into the second circle, but not the third. I tried again with the three colours - same result. Work in progress. 👍🏻😊 Thank you Harriet.

Hi Harriet, I stumbled across your book online and found your Instagram which is delightful. I timed it right as you've now started this very helpful KZread Channel! I'm one to get carried away and try to jump in too deep too early, fail, then abandon it all together, so I'm trying to take it all one step at a time, which your channel is great for! I'm also working night shifts in Care, where the children are asleep so this is my time to experiment with my watercolours! I wonder if you might be able to show us in the next episode how to explore the different shades obtainable from a colour using a palette.... this demo was great to see the theory behind colour, but how do we control this when painting an object? I.e we wont necessarily be using the colours already on the page to bleed into one another, but would want the shades in our palette to choose from....I've not explained that very well but I hope you understand what I mean! Looking forward to episode 3 and trying to resist opening my book until I've nailed some basics!

Haha, Rebecca, I'm exactly the same, I'm terrible at reading through instructions and actually finishing them before I want to dive in. Hopefully this will help you take it slow and steady. The good thing about watercolour is it gives satisfying results fairly quickly.

Hi veronica, make sure your brush is nice and wet to make sure the paint flowers off the bristles like a smooth felt tip pen. That should help. Swirl it round in the water for a while and wipe away the excss and have a go like that.
