"shouldn't have bothered" he says.. as he creates one of the most amazing works of art I've ever been blessed to witness.

I really love your work and you inspire me as a young watercolor artist. Thank you so much for taking the time and putting in the effort to make these videos. I really appreciate it, thank you!

I'm a beginner at water coloring so I have watched hundreds of artist do their thing. Yours have taught me the most. You keep it simple and fun. I love it.

You Sir paint from the heart , thank you for showing us your great gift . Greetings from Sweden.

Alan, that was fascinating - and as so often, you go and apologize for it! You really don't need to - there was a marvellous lesson in there, and I'm sure many of us have learned from it. Sorry you weren't feeling too well, but I think the weather got you down a bit (it certainly has that effect on me when it's wet and 'orrible). I do admire the way you go straight in with the pen and ink, with no preliminary pencil work, and still get clean, straight lines in all the right places: even when working uphill for the benefit of the camera. Don't knock yourself, lad!

sorry I have not been fit to do another , thanks for all your kind wishes ,I hope to pop one on in a day or two .love you all

I never tire of watching your tutorials Alan. I have learned so much from watching then practicing. I love your down to earth, warm and friendly personality. It's like having a good friend teaching you. Thank you. Can't wait for the next pen and wash tutorial.

I love your work Alan. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and talents. I love all the background sounds too. The rain and clock is perfect. I feel like I'm just sharing your home.

Wow, I came across this great video while looking to do some art to get me out of my depression. Thank you, you've brought sunshine to my life.

Alan you are such an inspiration. I have been following you for the past five years and have learned so much from you. Your paintings have that freshness that I strive for and hopefully by following your example one day I will achieve it. Thank you for helping me along my way as I try to find my way with this incredible Watercolor medium.

No apologies necessary. All of your paintings are lovely and I love watching you do it.

I loved this painting. Thanks for making your videos. I watch every day ❤

Hi Alan, it's Jim from Canada here. I really enjoyed my little chat with you when I was in Hindley. Back in BC, the sun's 'cracking the flagstones'. I'm putting our house on the market and looking forward to our return to UK when I hope I can come and see you again from time to time. You're an inspiration to all of us 'dawbers'. Hope your health keeps up and Mrs. Owen gets better. Godluvvya Alan. Jim.

Congratulations on the article in the painter Mag, keep up the great work, love your relaxed vibe, thanks for sharing x

What a pleasure to see a new Alan Owen Video. I really like your kind of painting and explainig. It makes me feel good like beeing with, for example my own grandpa and doing a painting together. Thank you so much Mr. Owen. Best regards from Germany

Thank you so much for another beautiful painting! I hope you had a nice rest and a lovely cup of tea, and are feeling sunny today. I appreciate your efforts for all of our benefit as your loyal students! Happy New Year!

I have no words to express how beautiful this was. Thank you!

I love the rain. I makes for a very relaxing form of education! Many thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to paint the demo ,great trees,even not feeling well you created a lovely piece of art,love your humor.

i just think you are one caring, cool dude..it's so inspiring to see someone with such modesty of their obvious good talent. I could watch this vid over and over to just hear the rain and your ability to share. I hope you are well on the mend and can show us more.

Thank you, Alan for 24.35 mins of sheer enjoyment. I did not know I was going to stumble across your lessons this morning and this has set me up for the day. I have you saved in my 'favourites' and expect to search out my watercolours and brushes, which have been redundant for a few years, very soon. God bless you and thank you again.

I enjoyed it none the less....I enjoy watching you sketch and paint, listening to you...learning all kinds of stuff! Thanks!

Alan You're your own worst critic my friend; there's nothing wrong with this painting. Many folks would love your ability. But you have to realise that it's not just your paintings that people like; it's your manner, your style, your warm personality that attracts us folks on the internet. You're a good bloke Alan who tries to entertain us and share your knowledge; so pat yourself on the back and be proud of what you're doing on here.

That's exactly what I hope to do. Thank you very much for the instruction. It's so very light and free and breezy I could look at it all day. I'm very eager to backtrack on your videos. You are a terrific instructor. I really enjoyed spending a rainy day inside with you.

I enjoy watching you paint and thought your piece was lovely. Thank you for your videos for sharing your talent with us. your in my prayers.

I love your videos. It's so easy to see what you are doing and your explanations are so clear. Thanks so much for sharing them. x

This is a beautiful painting and I enjoyed watching your demonstration, Alan. I appreciate you taking your time to share your expertise with us!

Marvellous tutorial. Loved the detail and the wonderful sound effects of rain and birds! Gives one encouragement to keep trying! Hope you're feeling better.

I always learn something new when you post a video - especially the way you use light and colour. You are such good company and I miss seeing you paint when you need to take a break. As far as the rain and background noise, no worries! It makes us all feel like we are there with you sharing a cup of tea and learning to pain. Thank you again and please paint whenever you feel up to it :)) I'm a big fan of your work and style.

You are too hard on yourself Alan, all your work as far as I am concerned is brilliant. I enjoy every single tutorials you've been kind enough to share. Keep paintingxxxx

I so enjoyed watching this! Thanks for sharing Alan!

Thanks Alan, I can't stop watching your videos and want to start painting. I am a complete beginner but not yet started with water colour. this is very nice of you telling all the details and techniques and it is very encouraging to go for a try.

Great - loved every minute - including the sound of rain!

Alan, greetings from London. This is a marvelous video. I always enjoy your paintings. I hope you feel better soon.

Alan - another thank you - this time from Nova Scotia. I enjoy your videos so much! It's quite amazing to watch what seem at first like random blotches of colour transform into beautiful, light filled landscapes. It's very generous of you to share your approach so freely with us. My work has improved a great deal as a result, it's becoming bolder and looser, and I'm sure that is true for many others all across the world. By the way, I picked up a copy of a magazine today, and it was great to see your work featured in it! Thanks again!

I do not think you have apologize, i love it, you did a great job. Great job Sir!

Thank you for demonstrating today, especially as you do not feel up to it. It is a lovely little sketch and you do make it look easy. Please keep it up, I don't think you realise how valuable your demonstrations and tips are.

wonderful your picture..i love watercolor and your videos help me to learn about this media..thank you for sharing !!!

Very nice, no need for apologies! Love your continuous remarks - the what, the why, the how. I'm new to watercolor (though not to drawing) and this is very helpful, particularly how to mix colors and use brushes. The rain and birds were a nice accompaniment, too. All the best from the rainy part of the West Coast of the States!

This was fabulous to watch! You have a wonderful talent that inspires me to pick up my brushes again! I eagerly wait in anticipation for your next piece! Wish you all the best!

Incredible. Thank you for sharing with us.

I like it very much! Thank you for showing me that.

Another relaxing & enjoyable tutorial Alan ... have screen printed it in order to run off and have a go. Thank you ... and hope you are feeling back on form.

Thank you oh so much for sharing your talent with us. I have just found you and am following along with your videos to try and improve my own skills. It is very helpful to learn what colors to use and how to mix them up.

Thank you for posting this painting. I'm going to give it a try. Hope you feel better soon. I have so much to learn, and your videos are so much more instructive than many I have purchased. Let me know if there is a way to contribute somehow. You share in a way that is friendly and you put on no airs. Thank you again. I'll look forward to the next one. All my best.

What a wonderful artist. A very relaxing video, with the rain, birdsong and ticking clock, together with such a warm commentary. Hope all is well. The picture is fabulous. I'd have that on my wall.

Happy to see another beautiful painting! Thank you for telling us what colors you use and how you are mixing them. Love the sound of the rain and the birds. Very relaxing:) oh and love your accent!

so lovely; every little touch of the brush turns in to something beautiful, when I try to do the same thing it turns in to a dot or a dash, not a tree or a sailboat, lol love your work and your accent! oh, and the gentle dropping of the rain !!!

Excelente !!! todos sus trabajos son muy bellos. cuídese mucho.

The rain is the perfect accompaniment. Thank you for sharing your talents and knowledge.

Just wanted you to know I enjoyed your demonstration very much. I'm sorry that you weren't feeling 100% that day, but I think the painting still came out beautifully, and I learn something with each video I watch. Have a Wonderful day!

Alan, I know you weren’t well when you did this but it is fantastic, I would love to be half as a good on one of my better days, you are a star, and it was wonderful hearing your thought processes as well. I’m interested in pen and wash and will try this one
