I love that you demonstrated these techniques on a flower, an actual object. Not just a square or sphere... I am a bloody beginner and seeing these differences is HUGELY helpful 🙏👍

This may seem silly, but as someone who hasn’t tried to paint with watercolors since I was 14 in art class in school, this was magical. Such a perfect way to easily showcase simple techniques with such lovely results. I bought my first watercolor set in 31 years after watching this. Thank you for encouraging my inner child to play.

THIS!!!! WHY DID NOBODY EXPLAIN ME ANY OF THIS BEFORE??? This is exactly the reason why i think watercoloring is one of the hardest mediums for art 😭

this CHANGGED MY LIFE. your descriptions are so clear. Thank you for sharing this!

I am new to watercolor, and this is probably the best mini tutorial I’ve seen yet. Succinct and perfect explanations! Thank you!

My favorite was Glazing :D!

I am rediscovering my inner child artist. I had been dissuaded from pursuing art for so long. I can’t wait to try these techniques this evening. I am so glad I found you! ❤

Wow. now I know what those are called. I usually just go in blind, and learn from the previous mistakes.

I've been using techniques I didn't know that was a name for.

Thank you for not editing out your mistake! This is great and so easy to understand

Thank you for saying it takes practice! It was a lot of fun, but my flowers definitely dont look like yours! Ill keep working on it.

He’s so relaxing to listen to I could watch this man while trying to sleep. Also the fact that he made a mistake with the dragging technique and kept it in the video, showing that there is no such thing as perfection, and that you can always start again.

Perfect beginning tutorial - just what I was looking for. I love that you got right into the demonstration without a lot of irrelevant chatter. Thank you!

So delicate and beautiful! Also, incredibly informative - been binge watching all your videos!

Dragging 2.0 was a good one 😂 Loved the video, pretty precise and crisp. 😍😍😍

I’ve been working with watercolor for a few years now, but this demonstration has been the most helpful, truly. Somehow, seeing the same flower done differently really helped to clarify how the various methods could be used to one’s advantage. Thank you for sharing your knowledge…and humor. 😉

Absolutely the best comparison video I’ve seen. Thank you!!!!!

OMG this has got to be the BEST watercolor tutorial EVER! Thank you!

This is probably the best flower tutorial I've ever seen! Thank you so much for sharing 🤗🙏

Great video, I tried watching other watercolor channels and they just kept preaching about letting the intrinsic beauty take over and that you can't control water color. Obviously it's a hard medium but there are techniques like what you showed that have really helped me understand how to take my painting to the next level. Thanks so much!

It is so lovely how you handled the dried paint. It was great watching this tutorial, how you speak calmly and explain everything, thank you for this.

The glazing technique on the flower is so beautiful!!

I love your work. It is soo beautiful and inspiring! This video was very helpful. Even advanced artists can learn here some new things. It is always great to see this kind of videos on youtube, especially from you. Thank you! Sending love from Slovakia!

This is such good practice: how much water, strokes and patience for it to dry. Charging and glazing are quite a challenge for me. My fave's dragging.

More tutorials plsssssss for beginners cheers! You’re the best

Mess? paint palettes aren't messy their your gateway to creativity. Thank you for this. I prefer the much more precise ways of working. I like having control over my work.

Very useful as a beginner to see the exact same subject done in such different ways.

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! I really appreciate this kind of tutorial, which shows the underlying logic of how to understand what’s possible with watercolour. Plus, it’s *practical.* I know exactly what’s being done and why it is or isn’t working. No hand-waving away details we beginners need to know. Thank you!

For a beginner this is one of the best videos. Thank You so much.

i love how youre also showing the process of working around and sometimes with your mistakes, learning how to do that is such an undervalued skill in art!!

I've never seen several of these techniques before. I love all of them. Thank you!

Thank you for doing this in this exact fashion! It's a perfect guide when the same image is used for each example. This is exactly what I needed to get started. Tyty

so glad i found you. your teaching technique is clear very helpful for a complete beginner. i can’t wait to try these this weekend snd watch more of your tutorials. thanks so much for the info snd encouragement.😊

edit: 7:22 sorry/not sorry but lmao, your reaction. it’s like you dropped a baby. i would be remiss if i didn’t admit i’ve had many “dropped a baby” reactions over simple mistakes when painting 🤣 i love this so much!! i paint botanicals, and as luck would have it, a sh*t ton of poppies. as a self taught artist, i’ve been doing all these things but never thought of most of them as discrete techniques. this is extremely helpful thank you!

You have made an incredible video! I'm a complete beginner to watercolor. This is going to help me enormously!

Found this so, so helpful. Just starting out really and learning every day

Thank you so much for making this video, I have wanted to practice watercolors so long and all my paints have failed. I blamed myself for many years (I know there are books about it but I find it hard to understand trough just reading text), so it turns out I've not understood the importance of hot & cold pressed papers and importance of different brushes, yet the amount of water needed to reach the wanted result!

Wunderschöne Techniken! Great! Thank you for sharing with us!

Excellent tutorial! Clear, informative, precise and easy to understand. So glad I found it, thank you 🌸💮🌺

Thank you! So artistic and clear at the same time!

This is one of the BEST watercolour videos I have ever watched!! I love your style, your sense of humour, your clear instructions, everything!! I have just found you and am really thrilled. I am subscribing and look forward to many more great videos. Many thanks 👏❤️🇨🇦

Thanks for this video...going to try this. Just starting out and love learning these techniques. WIll be checking your library for more!

Thank you! Self-taught artist appreciates. I love the dragging especially!

I've never seen half these demos before, and I have a number of books on watercolour.... Well done and thank you!

👏 The BEST beginner watercolor lesson! Thank you!

Love this! I was unsure about trying watercolors but this tutorial explains so much in such a short amount of time. Fantastic turorial, thank you so much!

I love this video. My favorite is the glazing and charging.

Best technique demonstration I’ve seen. Thank you

I've been watching dozens of beginners tutorials and this is by far my favorite! Can't wait to check out more! 🙏

Excellent video, straight to the point, no annoying irrelevant chatter or Music!! Thank-you. I also appreciated that you showed the Dragging 'mistake' so people know what to watch for. Subscribed.

Thanks for this! Good to see how the techniques differ all at once. Well done.

I like the techniques that you thought and how you did the flowers, they are so perfect!🥰

Thank you for sharing these tips with us beginners. It was very helpful. Now to practice!!

My fave techniques video by far. Thank you for putting this together : )

Thanks--I'm so excited to begin!

Thank you so much for explaining so well. Really appreciate your help.

thank you so much. beautiful bit of teaching watercolor. i never really knew any of these techniques except the dry paper one. i’m not an artist,but love to paint anyway. so well done. and have a great day! :) 🌷🪻🌱

Wow. Great video! Step by step and beginner friendly with the reassurance that it does take practice.

Thanks for demonstrating. It got a lot easier to understand

Thank you for demostrating it so clearly and beautifully

Very nice :) This is very helpful. I am just starting out with watercolors so now I know a little more about it. Thanks so much!

I’ve just subscribed to your KZfaq channel for more videos like this one.

I just discovered your videos and had to comment. I love how well your teaching style mixes with your lovely accent and your honesty! It quite literally engaged me to where I shut off my audiobook to listen.... and here I thought I was just gonna "glance" at some new techniques. Well Done!

Thank you so much. I’m rediscovering my inner artist and this is so useful

Really well explained! You have a knack for teaching!

Thank you for this tutorial; this is exactly what I needed and will try it now. Thx

Thank you! I am going to try all of these techniques! I have done some watercolor, but I am never happy with the outcome. I decided to start over since I haven't really had much in the way of instruction. This seems like a good start! Thanks again.

Simply amazing tutorial! learning it while drawing something beautiful yet simple was very instructive. Thank you

THANKS! I just took an interest in WC after many years as an artists and it is probably the most difficult medium I've tried (and I've tried a lot!). I found this informative and really like the "charging" technique look. Gonna give that a shot!

Thank you🙏🌸. A great video! I wish there was a clear video like this one, when I started painting with watercolors.

You have made everything just click for me. I have been struggling with why i can not get what i am trying to achieve but this video helped me so much. 🙏 thank you! Your amazing!

Such cool ways to paint a poppie! Thank you!

This was my first time ever learning these five techniques. Thank you for such great explanations and for illustrating with the same item (petals) to show the differences between each.

Thank you for a fabulous demonstration! 💗💗

This is beautiful I'm going to get into watercolor.

Thank you so much for putting names to the techniques. I used to use them haphazardly.

as everyone has noted, SUPER HELPFUL. clear, precise, and including what and HOW to avoid. INSPIRED me to advance from watching watercolor vids with longing to actually DOING! just happenstance that yt served it up to me!!!! hope you do more florals!!!! BigTHANKS!!!!

Thank you for this tutorial ! I love watercolor but I didn't know how to use it properly :)

Great for for me with very basic stuff since I'm just starting out. Thanks!

Loved watching this!❤❤❤

This is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this. It is hugely helpful.

Ive been trying to improve in different mediums and watercolor was next and your tips are very helpful. I will definitely watch your videos for more tips.

Thank you for this very clear presentation!

Thank you. This was a very comprehensive video. I learnt a lot from this video.

Lovely tutorial! Thank you so much!

Wpw now i learn a lot about water color painting.. you explained it so well step by step…

This was really helpful. (I love that you forgot you were talking because you were too focused - looks like something I do constantly)

thank you so much!. you teaching style is really very good.

That was a great demonstration ! Thanks

you slayed this! thank you :,)

Thank you. I learned a lot! Well explained. Seriously beautiful flowers.

great techniques, as a beginner. Thanks!

You are the best seriously! Thankyou🙏🏼

Easy and clear explanation. Will follow your steps and practice. Thanks

Best watercolor video! It's informative ..short and professional ❤

Followed you, because I start watercolours in art school next year and even tough I've painted with them before, they're really not my favourite, because its hard to paint with them, but maybe I'm just not doing it right!

this was really great and concise!!! Thank you

This is awesome for the beginners like me. Thank you :)

The best tutorial I have never seen. Than you! Hugs from Spain 🤗.

Loved it. Thank you!
