Did my first ever water colour with you in Birmingham last year age 63 and loved it. I have watched a fair few videos of yours since and joined the SAA recently, l love your easy to follow style thank you so much for doing what you do.

By far the BEST watercolor demo I've ever seen! Thank you for the simplicity in your skill and commentary (:

Wonderful! Cattails, Spartinaflora, Alternaflora. Absolutely gorgeous! You make your talent seem so easy!!

I am truly a beginner at watercolor painting but this video made it seem so easy. Matthew made it wonderfully simple to understand. I really feel this will be something I will start doing and enjoying so much. Thank you

You make it look so easy to work with watercolour. I have a very hard time painting with watercolour. I will try again tonight, hopefully I will have a little luck. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I did see this one before, and I really like this painting.

Thank you Matthew. Love how you do the mountains and create depth. Very helpful and easy to understand.

I love the way you paint that goes without saying... but I am so glad you FILM over your left side... So many people film on the right side, and their hand gets in the way of watching you paint. Thank you! Beautiful painting... as always.

Just watching you paint is so healing. Mr. Palmer inspires me to take up my paint brushes once again. Thank you!

You say it's very simple! It is one of the very best tutorials I've seen so far & I was impressed. It may be simple but very beautiful. Thank you!

thank you-I have just discovered watercolour painting in lockdown after my sisters set up a weekly family art challenge. never thought I would get into it(never!) but starting to enjoy it and it gives me a break from my OCD-great for anxiety and stress! Thanks so much!Going to attempt a

That was absolutely beautiful to watch! Thank you, Matthew. You are a gifted teacher and clearly a talented watercolorist.

Thank you Matthew, I am a beginner but I followed you step by step and I cannot believe how good my watercolor came out!

Thank you Matt. I’ve been an oil painter most of my life and now I’m doing watercolor. I overwork it. Ugh. This helped me. Thank you.

Congratulations Matthew. Absolutely marvelous landscape tutorial. Perhaps one of the best I have see. Well worth the crick in my neck trying to get the picture upright.

What a great video Matthew. Clear, concise and a host of first class painting tips which I'll be trying. I love the way in which you paint the reeds. It's not easy at all but you make it look like it is. Thank you.

Absolutely gorgeous. This is the first landscape I really love. Thank you for sharing this video.

Insanely beautiful. Reeds and everything... It's not a painting it's a place.

Thank you,haven’t used water colour since I was a kid. Use to love watching my Mom paint...so here I am giving it a try! Great video!

Your painting is gorgeous and you explain the procedure so well! Thank You so much.

So simple yet amazing. I'm in awe with a strong feeling of inspiration. I'm ready to give it a try. Let's do it☺️. Great job. ♥️♥️♥️👍

Everything in this video is magic…..have seen so many watercolour tutorials but your video simply makes all the water logic easy to understand……thank you so much 💕

That was the best demonstration I have seen. You are so talented thank you for sharing this beautiful tutorial

Absolutely gorgeous painting 💖 Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us! I’m going to try this. I’ll let you know how it turns out 💖

Thank you Matthew for sharing this. A real inspirational and learning experience it was.

This was a lot of fun! Thanks for all the tips! I haven't painted in a long time so this was great to get me going!! Thank you!!

Love the tape technique for keeping the shoreline level. I wanted to learn more about painting water, great ideas here, thank you.

Love it, I will watch over and over to get your technique down pat! Love your work, and simple instructions...such a smooth voice too!

Great technique, love the style of this Mt Lake view.

So glad I found your video's, really helped me. Started learning from KZfaq last year at the age of 71. Wish I had found yours then. Love wet on wet with no sketching.

Lovely painting, lovely calming tutorial, thank you.

Your comment about light is spot on. We have a stunning view of hills from our house and we get the light coming through trees in a morning but those same hills have light on them in an evening too.

Love your painting! I love how you say 'let it dry and will come back to it'. So many of my paintings were ruined by not waiting

I recently got back into painting after years and it's a lot more difficult than I remember. I watched this video and re-created it my self. It was very easy to follow and there are really good tips and techniques that helped me so much. 10/10

Thanks Matthew Palmer for this beautiful painting lesson! It is simple, and yet sublime!

Your comments and instructions really are clear and helpful. I also like your pace which makes it easy to see what you are doing and for a visual person this is so important.

Very inspiring! Such a pleasure to listen to your voice as you explain what you are doing and you make it look so simple and easy to paint with watercolour. Thank you!

Thank you so much!! This really helped me out, it’s a very helpful tutorial. :)

Beautiful! Thank you for all the technique tips.

Thank You for teaching me so much!! I'm a beginner and appreciate your commentary and the slower speed of your painting. Can't wait to try this!

I like this no music just talking very relaxing , I really appreciate you helping others to learn how to paint .my favorite water, mountains, trees , sky . nothing more beautiful . thank you so much .

Just seen your paintings. Absolutely beautiful, and so easy too. Thank you.....

I love how clean everything is. You make precision look good. I love the cat tails.

I am so encouraged watching you. I feel I can start.

Just given this a go and love the outcome! Thank you so much

Thank you SO much Matthew! You do lovely work. Just found you and am thrilled to have some excellent instruction! Thank you for sharing with me!

Beautiful...what a soothing landscape, so subtly detailed. Thank you for sharing your techniques.

Definitely going to give this one a try! Thank you for breaking it down into easy steps!

Thank you so much! i watched it until the end of the video, i'm really impressed.

Great tutorial, when you show Painting with the mount on there are several birds painted in, would love to have seen you add those, will try to replicate them too

Thank you so much. Wish I could publish the results of following your video. I worked 4 at a time so I didn't have to wait for the paint to dry. They were all acceptable but one I felt was really worthy of sharing with you for a beginner. Thank you for the inspiration. I made it public on Facebook for you to see. Your instructions are so easy to follow and you are so encouraging. Thank you, Matthew.

Thank you, this video has been so helpful to me. The best video I've found on watercolor instruction on KZfaq thus far.

Lovely painting. Thank you for taking the time to film and post it. Very much appreciated by so many.

Great class! Thank you for share your knowledge :D Happy Easter!

Ooh, it makes me want to paint again. Lovely, lovely painting. 😀

I just love watching your videos! You keep it simple but the results look amazing. Thank you.

This was my first time painting wi watercolour. I wasn't to happy with how it turned out but I got really good feedback. Thanks for the tutorial, i learnt a lot!

Beautiful, thanks for the magnificant lesson.🙏🏼

Wow, that was amazing. Loved the different techniques to create contrast and movement and introduce light. Thank you

thank you for your tutorial..it has been years since I've used the watercolor medium, I appreciate your advice and technique

Hi Matthew, I saw you have updated your site this year. I found this exercise very helpful not having to sketch the landscape scene first. I'm left-handed it was a little difficult keeping up with the angle to remember as you progressed. I am hoping to purchase one of your DVD's and continue to follow online. I need more appropriate brushes too. Advising the brush number as you went was very helpful too.

This has been very helpful to me just starting out in watercolor! Thank you. Love the cattails!

Matthew, I loved your landscape. I find landscapes a challenge myself. Your picture reminded me of Lake Placid, NY on a cool day. You are a wonderful painter.

I’ve really enjoyed watching you paint, thank you !

Amazing!!! This picture is awesome. Thanks for your techniques ..... I will go ahead and try painting a similar picture you did!! :D

Great techniques! Thank you for sharing - could you turn the camera so the painting you are working on is not sideways?

Wonderful , Mr. Palmer ! You're a real artist

Thank you so much, sir! I barely watch 20mins and above tutorial but yours is an exception for me! It feels like it's only 3mins.. that means i really enjoyed and got interested on how you do it such simple yet so amazingly beautiful landscape view! I'm still a beginner in watercolor painting and still learning but I will definitely try to do this!! ♥️ again thank you so so much!!! You're amazing!!

Thank you very much Matthew - I'll be trying this with my high school students, doing a step-by-step watercolour session with them!

Hi and thanks for your knowledge one for you. it's the sedge family common name bullrush sometimes known as reed mace or also called coattails ... thanks again

Thanks Clive always love 💕 your landscape paintings 🎨💜👍

Thank you for this marvelous lesson in tool and brush technique!

Hello thanks for the tutorial I am new to painting and found value in your video

a supply list would be helpful so we could know what kinds of brushes and paper and paint was used

I am so glad I watched it till the end. Simply amazing and beautiful. You are so talented.

Love this! Great tutorial for a simple mountain lake scene.

Very good and THANKS.

Which no. Brush you use. Its amazing

I agree that you make it look so easy. I am painting along with you. I am impressed with the final outcome, even though I like loose abstract:)

So beautiful. Thank you for this class!

I'm indian,,u got a new subscriber,,beautiful landscape,,,supper

I loved this tutorial....it looked wonderful and made me realise that watercolour was easyy

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your tutorial. Easy, informative and relaxing. Thank you

Thank you for sharing, especially showing several techniques applied to one piece!

Absolutely beautiful i love the composition. Stunning

So beautiful, thank you for sharing your talent with us! This really helps me a lot. I've drawn all my life and am just starting to work with watercolors. I think I love it more than drawing now! This is my calling!!

Thanks as always Matthew. I have a few of your DVD's, paints, brushes and watercolour pad. Just love your style and try not to miss you on Hochanda.

Love ❤️ your tutorial and the pace was easier to follow you. Thank you for sharing.

I really liked your tutorial. It's the only one I've tried where the result was half decent, and you explained what you were doing or wanting to achieve which a lot of "tutorials" don't. Thanks!

Wow, 2 million views! No doubt aided by your thoughtful and thorough commentary answering every question forming inside the viewer's head as they watch you paint. Hope you do more of this. Thanks!

Thank you for showing so many great techniques. I learned much from basics to adding character. Great stuff. Keep it up, please.

You had me at the house. I just couldn't look away. Beautiful

Thank you Matthew most enjoyable, I look forward to finding more videos done by you. My neck needs a rest though, watching side on !!

Beautiful ... the reeds with the brown fury seed heads are Bulrushes I think - I remember them at the local pond where I grew up. I don't know if it's the same as Cattails? I think I've heard people refer to them as that also.

I learned soooo many gems watching you today. Thank you!

I’m new to watercolor painting. I love this video Thankyou. So excited to try this today

I loved this tutorial! I learned so much in such a short amount of time.

Sharing skills so freely-wonderful bro-may even inspire hesitant oldies!!

Wow, you make it look so easy! Beautifully done!

Exactly what a beginner needs to get started. Nothing too complex with good tips!

Lovely painting, very nice tutorial. You are the 'Bob Ross' of water colours!
