Hi Paul, just finished having a go at painting the blue door with the guidance of your video and book, haven't painted since I was at school (50+ years ago) really pleased with my effort. Now going to continue painting, and look forward to retirement in a few months so I will have more time. Thanks Paul for your inspiration. Andy.

After not having done any art in over 40 years, I have dared to believe that I can learn watercolor painting. I followed your video and am shocked by the outcome. Your engaging style and obvious desire for us to learn and grow makes all the difference. Now I am going to "binge watch" all of your videos and continue this journey! Thank you so very much!!! P.S. I also have your book - it is a must have for anyone new to watercolors. It's perfect!

I have just found your amazing KZread channel. Thank you so much for sharing these guided drawings. I have a long way to go, but it is an inspiration and I'm looking forward to watching all your videos one by one and applying accordingly. My country is going through a horrible and terrifying war and drawing is a food for the soul for me.

Just finished giving this a go. Really enjoyed the process. I am new to watercolor and I am not an artist. Thank you for the sketches. Good fun!!
Nearly finished it in Wellington NZ. The green and the gray didn't go so smoothly but the blue door fixes everything! Happy vibrant blue door. Thanks Paul!

Hi Paul, I’m brand new to watercolors and truly enjoying the frustrations 😂😂 that I hear are Inevitable on this colorful journey. I saw you tutorial of the blue door and loved it..saw more of your classes and paintings, so I purchased your book tonight ..I don’t know my style of painting yet, though I be believe I would like to Learn from you. Thank you for sharing your talent and your easy “speak” make it so comfortable to listen to and also to read. Maybe someday I’ll be able to attend your classes, but for now I’m grateful for you tube and your book..!

Love your tutorials, and you're so fun to watch! I find I do my best work when I'm not rushed. I go to classes and the stuff I produce is rubbish. Then I go home and re-do and the results are so much better! However, I am 82 years old. Took my first water-colour class just after I retired at 60 years of age. Then after a long absence from painting, started taking classes again one year ago. I enjoy it more and more eery day.

Thank You for posting this video and the others. I have been doing small tutorials because I am afraid to take on a bigger project. With this one I used a full size paper instead cutting it smaller and I'll am pleased at how it turned out. I know to most this is a small project, but to me it is a big step doing any work on a full sheet of paper. Thank You again for giving me the courage to give it a try

I also have your book and painted this one in my sketch book when I was very new to watercolor and was pleased with the result. I have logged many brush miles since then so I think it will be fun to try again. Painting from the book was a great experience as a very new painter, but now it's fun to watch you and all the extra little 'Paul' touches. Great shirt this week. So glad you started your channel. It has so much great content. Thanks Paul.
