Go for it Angeline! Nothing to lose and so much to gain! Only a bit of paper and paint. I just started a couple of years ago and it has brought me so much joy. Please try. You wont regret it. Word.

Although I have been doing watercolor for many years, I have learned to adopt "the beginner mind" in order to recapture the joy and review the basics in order to improve. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.

In the thumbnail of this video there’s a pic of a very cool building. I would love you to do a tutorial painting of it. I really enjoyed doing the two paintings that were featured in this tutorial. Thank You!!!

I painted the waterfall. Not done, yet,. I had to stop the video periodically just to catch up with you. So far I really like my painting, that said I have to confess a habit of fussing and micro-manageing the paint. I really liked how you worked the rocks.. I tried not to fuss and the rocks (almost) painted themselves. Really enjoyed the paint-along.

Just painted the waterfall and really enjoyed it. Fiddled too much towards the end and of course overworked it slightly, but great practise anyway. I like how you have no problem using black - so many times I hear that it's "wrong" to use black in watercolour but mixed with brown/red/green/blue it can make some really cool/warm darks.

Thank you, Chris! Three years into my watercolor journey and I've learned quite a bit from this video. I can get into my head, sometimes, and make things more difficult than they need to be. A waterfall is really a simple rectangle shape. Then, you work with it for there. A lightbulb went off in my head when you were drawing it out. Love the flowers, too, by the way. Just as a side note, I went to an antique mall last week. There was a booth with quite a few duck decoys. I thought of you and how much you would have liked them.

Hi Kate, thank so much for watching and joining along with us on KZfaq! I’m excited your making excellent progress with you paintings! I’m looking forward to visiting a few antique malls next week while in Pennsylvania. The first thing I look for are the duck decoys 👍😎

I usualy do the background first because I'm afraid to spoil the main painting. Next time I'll try to do as you teach.Thank you.
