I've always loved to watch people paint, but you bring the process to a level I've not seen before. Your brush strokes are... musical. I'm not sure how else to say it, but it's as if your strokes are dancing the painting to life. This is the first video of yours that I've viewed. It won't be the last.

Your two-color painting videos are interesting. After seeing the other one of sienna and gray, I got the same colors to try. I hope you have time to make another video like this in the near future.

I really enjoy the two color palette videos, I have seen two so far... as a learner I found myself thinking, I need more colors! I am really beginning to appreciate what can be done, the beauty in simplicity. If you have other two color combos I would love to see them. Thank you!

and the introduction has inspired me to find the story... thank you for this as well!

This artwork reflects poetry in style. There is a lyrical harmony in the composition - the blue circle resembles a mirror amulet, referring perhaps symbolically to the prose that gave you inspiration. This minimalist watercolor concept is beautiful to look at, I hope you shall continue to delight your viewers with other similar paintings - and your words "...looking fate straight in the eyes and giving it a good punch because love is love is love." absolutely nails it. The World really needs more of this kind of attitude!

I'm so glad you found meaning in it. Thank you for the lovely words!

It’s incredibly calming watching and listening to you.

The story you tell at the beginning and continue with your painting is beautiful. Love your work.

I really like the red & blue combination.

Beautiful. Please, yes, more red and blue. FYI. I painted a pic in burnt Sienna and W&N Paynes Grey last night. Inspired by your other limited palette. Thank you so much for the inspiration. 💚

The colour are great,,please do more

Love the way you anthropomorphized the paper. I can't wait for you do do more paper reviews!

I love the style and your voice! Very calming! I definitely want to see more.

oh god, you're full of surprises! loved this piece x

I just love the red and blue combination and there are so many possible shades and tones. They are colours that you need to know how to work with them, a bit hard for a beginner. Beautiful work.

I’m loving these limited pallets!

Beautiful production, the whole. ❤ Thank you!

Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I love this painting and how you painted it . Great video. I will definitely look for those poetry books.

Beautiful combo

Absolutely beautiful!

How cool, an active and new channel with watercolor. I like your easy explanations, calming approach and 2 color schemes. Looking forward to more of these.

I enjoyed watching you paint and love the red and blue. Loved how the sword came together.

I'm so glad I found your channel. So inspirational

You mesmerize me with your skills and technique. The color combo is magnificent the way you use it. I aspire to be as good as you are some day in the distant future. It is just “in” you….remarkable!

You have a very intelligent and caring way of describing your work; it's very soothing to listen to. I really hope to see more videos like this one and your limited palette video, that one was also fantastic ❤

Now I have brush-envy. 😉Thanks for the lovely video!

🌸

I so enjoyed watching this - lovely painting.

This color combination is indeed gorgeous! I may have to buy two more paint colors!

Beautiful, thank you

I love the poetry of this video. Beautiful ❤ it’s what made me subscribe and lovely watercolour technique as well 😊👏

this is a fantastic idea! I might have to try a super limited colour palette like this 🥺

Beautiful and inspiring work!

Very beautiful and inspiring! Yes, more bird/animal work please. I'm going to try something similar but maybe add some gold metallic paint in a few spots. Thanks.

Uniqueness….. I’m enjoying your way of creating experiences of paints color values and paper. Your video and illustration is just what I needed as I’m at that place where I’m bored and have been seeking something meaningful in my experiences of color, separating, contrasting, blending, and yes the paper used. Thank you …. Love how you speak and teach ….. how you connect with the medium …. Where you seem to truly find a connection🕊️🦋🕊️🦋🕊️

I just love this painting and the color scheme you used. I also got the book you mentioned from the library . Please do more like this or using another 2 color scheme. To me they truly are peaceful. I can't wait to try this one.

Thanks, Debra! I have a lot of fun making these, so you'll definitely see more in the future 😊 Hope you enjoy the book!

This reminds me of Daniel Smith colors cerulean blue chromium and iridescent scarab red, which also look good together (but ISR has a shimmer). I like perelene green, it's always on my palette. I'll have to give perelene red another look. Thanks for sharing. It was also nice to see a short real time painting.

This was amazing, lyrical, homecoming

new subscriber. I love watching you paint!

Beautiful! Some of my favorite and best paintings are limited palette. I think values are almost more important than color and when I do limited palette it forces me to really think about the values and tonal quality.

I just picked up _This is How You Lose the Time War_ and read the first two sentences and am already intrigued and looking forward to visiting that fascinating world in my imagination. Thanks for the mention and brief synopsis as it got me curious. I'm enjoying seeing your watercolor process and also discovering other stuff, too. Good times.

Oh I'm glad I got you intrigued enough to check it out! I'm VERY curious to see what you'll think of it. I've recommended it to people who either loved it or hated it due to the style it's written in.

Hello, Kathy! New subscriber here in Costa Rica 🍃 I loved watching you bring this beautiful bird to life! Wasn't sure initially but my goodness - so beautiful!!! I look forward to seeing more of your red and blue birds and other works! You are very accomplished! Also took note of your charming account name ✨ Be well and happy painting ♥️💙

I would love to see more red and blue.

Fabulous composition and voice over! You speak your fascinating ideas so clearly. Watching and listening to you is indeed meditative. I have been experimenting with a limited palette. I can highly recommend Hazel Soans book, "Art of the Limited Palette", which I found out about on a YT interview that she gave.

wow, amazing❤ new subscriber

layering any color

I love the way you paint. I like your blue and red composition. I saw one from another artist using burnt sienna and payne's grey. They were beautiful. What brand is your paintbrush for this video? You get it to do a lot of things. I once made my living with a paintbrush, painting animation cels, back in the early '70s. My brush was very versatile. A #2 Brumbscher, I think.

Zero control on my end, unfortunately. It's all Google and what they believe the viewer would be interested in. But ugh - in a video where a queer person talks about a queer book, that's terrible irony.

Each to their own, but I don't love either of those colours.

I really loved this very poetic simplified color use and the sensitive Way of drawing-painting-caressing-dancing the dreaming imagery - and I Will love to see more of your very beautifull and meditative painting 🙏🎶🩶🧡💙🤎🎵

Beautifully done

I am so in love with this colour palette
