I want to thank you for this tutorial!!! I’ve only been watercoloring for a year and some come out pretty decent but I have struggled with the whole concept of the LIGHT in watercolor that truly creates what the paints were intended for! Your amazing!!! I can finally paint these winter greeneries!!! Love them all ! The Christmas tree is really going to help me so much at this time! My sister in law has ordered 5 Christmas cards for 5 special people in Germany , where she’s from. I want so much to make these cards so beautiful, and because of your tutorial I will be able to. Bless you Olga ❤️ I definitely subscribed and your the only KZfaqr I have rung the bell on!!! I’m going to send a small gift of my appreciation. Wish it could me more!

Olga, I've never really done much painting. My husband was an artist, and he made it look so easy. He used acrylics, oils, watercolors and created stained glass pieces from scratch. When I was a child, my Great Aunt and Godmother had many pieces in art shows in Michigan. They did theirs in oils, and they worked for hours on their pieces. I am glad I tuned into your channel. I learned a great deal, and now want to pursue watercolors. All these years, I have put off having fun with art just because I did not think I had the talent for it. Thank you so much.💞💞
