▶︎Free Video Lesson: 7 Secrets of Fresh, Powerful Painting www.learntopaintwatercolor.com/7secrets

I swore to my self-taught self that I would never try painting light again, but now I think I can! Thanks so much for teaching an 80-yr-old some tricks!

Rare combination of art, explanation and video production quality and summary at the end... No hesitation saying you may be one of the best tutors out there.

The tip for using rose matter permanent as a buffer between the yellow lights and blue sky to avoid getting green in the sky is much appreciated!

For the first time, I don’t feel tense when watching a watercolor tutorial. You don’t stress me out on the speed needed for wet on wet .. instead, it was a steady languid pace, where there’s time to mix the color that works. Thank you so much, you are a fantastic teacher.. and I’ve watched many others already 😂

I'm self taught and still learning- in my 60s- out of touch and scared. You're a great teacher and show rather than tell. Such minute technical points so beautifully clarified ❤ thanks

OMG!!!!! I love how you don’t have music ❤❤❤ You talk every second and your videos are truly helpful. I don’t feel uptight or have a headache after watching 💕💕💕 THANK YOU!!!!!! I will be back over and over.

はじめまして。 私は趣味で絵を描いている日本人です。 このように美しい夜景と光の描き方をわかりやすく教えてくださり、ありがとうございます😊 絵の具のオフの仕方によって、光を表現できることが理解できました。

I like your teaching style. Very calm and meditative almost.

I have been looking for an explanation on this for YEARS THANK YOU!!!!

Absolutely beautiful painting! There is something magical about a streetlamp at night, and you captured it perfectly. Inspirational.

Wonderful instruction - thank you! Can't wait to implement some of these ideas.

I loved this. I enjoyed your calm clear speaking manor.

I really enjoyed this tutorial and your explanation of the technique and color’s you’re using. Can’t wait to try one of your tutorials. Thank you.

Well, I’m gobsmacked! I’ve always enjoyed watercolors and have never understood how a picture like this is constructed. I’d heard about layering colors and had no idea what that meant either. It was fascinating to watch you build this picture up, bit by bit. It seems a form of magical reverse archeological dig, so to speak. Thank you so much for sharing your talents.

I like that you're showing the picture you're drawing from. It's very helpful to see your starting work and end result. Thank you!

Thank you, Matthew! You are an exceptional teacher and painter. Your calm and clear instruction has enabled me to do what I didn't think I was capable of and watching you create your beautiful paintings is nothing short of magical. The step by step tutorials with various images are particularly helpful and I appreciate that you include specific colors, brushes and techniques used. At the moment, I'm struggling with trees/greenery and not filling every space, slowly learning that less is more-lol. I look forward to each new tutorial and watch them multiple times.

Excellent demo on painting lamps like these. Thank you.

I love the subject matter of this painting so much - just lovely. Thank you, Matthew.

Also: great voice! Gentle and unhurried - makes it easy to listen and learn.

Awesome step by step demonstration. Thanks for sharing.

You are a great teacher…clear explanations and slow pace. 😊 Thank You.

SUPER thankful I have found your videos, Matt, and I am gaining in confidence to START. Very grateful for the email newsletter you send out as well. Your tutorials are fantastic, brother.

So glad this artist is showing him mixing the paint....such a good lesson.

Happy to watch you shine your light .

It’s wonderful seeing a master at work! Thank you for sharing 🤙🏼🙏🏼

A digital artist also need to learn this.

Wow, Matthew! This is great tutorial and the painting is amazing!

This video was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your process! I’m going to try your tips!

How come you have no likes? This is brilliant! And I love how it’s just watching you paint and explain, no music, no distractions.

Your demonstration, along with your commentary were an inspiration. Thank you.

Absolutely beautiful. I learned so much with this technique!

I LOVED this tutorial. I am definitely trying this.

Thank you so much for this! I’m teaching myself watercolours after years of digital art, where the process is midrange-> shadows-> highlights, so I’ve never had to think about light before even starting a picture. You’ve finally made it make sense, and now it’s time to practice

I am so glad I stuck around for the almost half hour long video, I will definitely implement a lot of the techniques I saw you use into my own paintings
