The bit about putting the painting aside when you're not sure, instead of trying to work on half dry, is pure wisdom!

Hearing Liron say it's OK to make crappy paintings. In fact, you need to make crappy paintings to improve.

Great tips from superb artists, all useful but I have to say the very first one speaks loudest to me - PAINT, PAINT, PAINT. I spend far too much time watching videos hoping to magically become an accomplished artist when, deep down, I know there are no short cuts - I would progress so much faster if I spent that time with brush in hand!

Thanks, Barbara! Oh, I totally agree...I know I’m guilty of that. Partly for me at least, because watching someone else do it and imagining myself doing it is a lot easier (and less frustrating) than doing it myself..ha!! But as you say, to really improve we need to explore, play and paint!

Thank you, Tom, for the many helpful advice that these artists have shared. I especially thank you for your support while teaching on KZread to so many new artists like me. My favorite tip on this video is to know your materials and use professional grade when possible. I’ve accumulated so many things since I started painting, but have not experimented enough with them. I hope to do that now.

Awesome tips 😁Great work everyone! And thank you Tom - for making this happen! 🎨👏👏

I liked Tori's comment about being happy if you're only 85% thrilled with your work sometimes. Because that's what it is a lot of the time LOL! Watercolor definitely took the perfectionist out of me... And that was a good thing!

Tom, I just found your channel! Some years ago I took a photography class, black and white, and I recently selected five of those photos that I just loved. I'm now planning to paint them in watercolor. 50 years ago I had a watercolor teacher named Win Jones... He was quite famous, but that was before the internet and when I look I don't ever find anything about him. I'm sure he's passed away by now. His classes were exciting and he really fired us up about watercolor! Don't know if you've ever heard of him... But I am wondering if you were a teacher at one time You have a terrific vocabulary and are so well organized in your presentations. Bravo! And THANK YOU!

Chien Chung Wei (probably my favorite watercolorist) likes to use one palette for transparent paints and another palette for opaque colors. I've grown as a painter just by incorporating opaque colors. It's expanded my range so to speak. I guess that's my tip for other painters.

@tomshepherdartist

Oh yes...a wonderful artist! Certainly up there with my favourites. It’s a great tip. I think simply understanding that transparent and opaque have notably different qualities, and then understanding them both is a huge advantage. Thank you for an insightful comment! Kind Regards, T

What an incredibly inspiring video. All of these tips have their important place in watercolour. Thank you. Also, great choice to lead with Liron! He's a fabulous bundle of watercolour energy.

Loved this. It gave me direction!

Oh wow this was so much fun, especially since I am subscribed to 2 of these artists already. You have introduced me to many new ones. Great tips from everyone & it’s definitely interesting to hear that so many gave some of the same tips but with different takes & suggestions. Thanks for sharing this wonderful collaboration with us!

Great tips! It's so useful hearing that different artists have different opinions on their best tip, and all have struggled with different challenges along the way - it inspires confidence to know that there's no one 'right' way and everyone is different (& might even give another tip on a different day!). I think the one about not expecting perfection resonates most - I'm new to this and all my paintings are pretty basic, but I learn something from every one!

A few months late watching this Tom, but this is fantastic advice from some fantastic artists. I think Liron's comment at the start of the video resonated most strongly for me. Paint, paint and keep painting...this is my biggest challenge, not painting enough or regularly enough and then getting frustrated when things don't go exactly how I wanted because it's not second nature to me. OK, off to paint!

I don't paint anything like the people that were on here. The tips they gave were quick and some what helpful. The only person I already follow was Liron, he great and always bring a reason to keep at it. My only thought was that your diversity of younger/old, male female was great but they were all white. People of color paint in watercolor also. I bet in your friend group they know a few. That is all. Thanks for the heads about the podcast, it's great to listen to something interesting while you paint. Audiobooks old after a while. Cheers Thomas

An excellent video, great to listen to the professionals, even for a relative newbie like me. I have watched videos by Liron and Paul, but the others are new to me, including you. So I'll definitely be checking out the other channels. Mind you my Watercolour KZread folder already has in excess of 1,000 videos in it, not that I've watched them all! I think Liron's advice of practice, practice, practice is the way to improve at anything, not just painting. However, on KZread it's too easy to watch way too much stuff and do far less practice. 😅
