Thank you so much for the simplicity and clarity of your presentation and not assuming the listener is at your level. The visuals as you talk were very helpful.

I've just started watercolor in my 50s and this was one of the most helpful videos I've watched, thank you.

Best explanation I've heard about glazing! Needed this....thank you!

Steve, no doubt about it: you are the best watercolor teacher on the net. And thank you for sharing all your efforts and talent with us!

you should publish a book about watercolor!

Thank you for this quote from the Bible - I need it today ❤

Steve, you just summarized four weeks of art classes in less than twenty minutes. Dawn breaks on Marblehead.

Ok Steve, I used a new soft brush that holds tons of water and paint. This is one of the reasons I was lifting paint. I’m going to start again, go slower, and only use use thirsty brush for first layer. It wasn’t the paper. Thanks so much for walking me through this.

You are the king of explaining techniques. I saw this close to two years ago; it still it THE tutorial for glazing. I needed a refresher!

This is the best video I've seen in years on watercolor, no one explains it at all much less as thoroughly as you do. Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned skill in a way that has helped me progress tremendously. You are my go-to artist for learning from this point forward.

Wow Steve! You just answered about a million questions I had on glazing. I’m going to watch this while testing my paints. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to achieve subtle changes in my watercolor. I’ve been doing a lot with colored pencils previously and I knew there had to be techniques that would translate the same way in watercolor, I just didn’t know what they were until this video. Thank you for sharing. Very much appreciated. Blessings to you!

I watch this video a lot - it has so many levels of learning to absorb. Wow! What a art teacher.

“Be careful of compliments” Ok. As in “nice glazing you have there”! 😂😂 (I think the spelling you wanted was an e instead of an i.) I got a kick out of it though!! I am restarting using watercolor after 14 years. These have been very helpful. TFS!

I just learned more about watercolor painting in these last eighteen minutes than I learned in the previous eighteen years. Thank you so much 💓

Thank you very much for this tutorial and we love the verse at the end.❤

As a professional artist, I love to learn and I thank you so much for these wonderful videos, which are so informative! Bless you too for adding the passages from scripture at the end of the videos.

Best teacher ever!

I have just started watercolour painting, haven't done any painting since I was at school probably 13, now 62, you are so good at teaching, the best on you tube, will just stick with you from now on. 🙂

Excellent tutorial. Thank you 🎨🌈

I learned a lot from this demonstration. Will definitely try it soon.

One of the better classes I’ve ever had on this subject. Thank you once again. -OkieSketcher1949😊

I so appreciate your time and talent. I am just now getting serious about glazing after 4 years of screwing up paintings. You make it easy to understand where I have been going wrong..thank you again.

Wow it's almost 2021 and I'm just learning about watercolor. Your videos are a must for anyone who is new to the art of watercolor. Thank you and Happy New Year!

Looking forward to using watercolor after all this time with oils. I did one watercolor on waterboard other than the watercolor we did as a kid in grade school. I am a proponent of glazing in oils, do it all the time. My new venture is using the technique in watercolor and your video high tights my interest in starting watercolor.....thanks so much. Much appreciated. Oh and my age. Will be 92 in April, if I make it.

This is an awesome explanation and demonstation of glazing! I have struggled with it in the past but did not want the notion of it to defeat me! Thank you

I finally find someone that teaches in a way I understand.... thank you. Keep the videos coming...

Best explanation of glazing I've seen. Thank you

I've been painting 40+ years and I always use glazing. I wasn't sure it was a legitimate technique so I appreciate this video.

Steve you are such an incredible teacher. I was an art major ended up with a career in fashion. Now I’m retired and disabled, working on my fine motor skills, your advise is so concise, well thought out, great classroom!

im very appreciate of this video as i just started learning watercolors. I been an oil and acrylic painter for 10 years, but was always afraid of watercolors. wish me luck! i;ll be viewing your videos for guidance, thank you !

I have been going back through some of these old videos and they are such an invaluable resource. Thank You!

And the Academy award for best editing goes to......... Great job! Have a great holiday weekend!

Steve - great video; my previous attempts were always muddy .... I was painting wet into wet and now realize I was dissolving the previous layers. Can't wait for my next practice!

Thank you so much. I'm new to watercolor and this is wonderful information.

Thank you for giving detailed instructions about glazing. And I appreciate the Scripture that you added at the end - very encouraging.

Your instruction is easy to follow, very step by step and presented logically - the way I think and learn!

Thank you so much for your tutorials I have become a true 'minder'. I am learning so much and it is really helping me to better understand how to use watercolour. Best watercolour tutorials I have come across with clear explanations in a down to earth style.

I am revisiting this video after creating a glazing mess , ignoring or forgetting all your glazing advices and tips , you are the best !!! Thanks Steve for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼

Your hints on paper dryness, looseness of red pigments and deep colours, best choice of brushes are right on the money. I will take your advice and teachings to my easel. I have looked for glazing info but have found very little. This demo was by far the very best resource I've found so far. Thank you very much!

Have watched a lot of videos on learning water painting techniques, but find that your videos are the clearest and the easiest to follow along. Thanks for making them!

I thoroughly enjoy your teachings! Thank you, and I also agree with the last person's comment about you writing a book!

I am learning so very much from you!! Thank you. Beginner in Idaho.

While reading and watching everything I can about watercolors (and there's a lot!), I came across your videos and have to agree with everyone's assessment, your explanations and demonstrations are clear and very helpful. Thank you!

I've taught students for years, "Better glaze than never!" This is a wonderful tutorial and really reduces the subject down to a simple, understandable form. Nice job, Steve. Even Reese looked impressed. Cheers! :)

You explained glazing wonderfully and patiently... it was a great learning watching this video and your handwriting is good. Thank you!!!

I learn from every one of your videos .. Thanks so much these lessons are invaluable to me.

I'm about to teach my first watercolor class tonight, so I am glad I came across this!

Your demonstrations are wonderful! It is very helpful when you are explaining how the paint reacts and why you are doing what you are doing. Thank you!

Such an immensely helpful tutorial! So much I was seeking to learn and you explained it all so clearly. Thank you thank you thank you.

I love this video. I will watch it again, and write all the tips down. I do glazing, but I never really knew how to practice it . I think I will get out some paper and spend a morning testing, testing, testing!! Thanks, Steve!

As a complete novice, I found this video to be very helpful. You step thru the logic for each step and demonstrate the techniques in a very logical fashion. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share the tips/techniques. Wonderful.

Fantastic lesson. You are a natural teacher. Thank you for this. Looking forward to more.

Thanks for the glazing lesson! Found it really helpful 🙂

Thank you VERY much. I greatly appreciate your videos. Loved the one with your grand daughter. You are clear to understand. Also, follow.

Thank you so much Steve for this video! The toning down , graying, the yellow box! The leaf with complimentary color! And using the Cosmo top spin brush (one of my favorites) instead of my favorite quill mop brush! So helpful!! Priceless! Your great and thanks for all you do for us! Hugs and Blessings!

Thank you so much for this... especially showing it on Arches. I'm an x-oil painter who used glazing extensively and expects luminosity with my transparent pigments. New to watercolor, I kept hearing about the wonders of Arches so I bought a block. Wow, I was sooo disappointed. My pigments that glowed on cellulose, with a percentage of cotton thus not soaking in so much, turned dull and almost chalky looking in comparison to me when dried glazing on the block. I was not happy with the cream white paper either. Researching this problem off youtube, I found others experiencing the same thing. I read there seems to be a difference in Arches pads, sheets and blocks and, for glazing, pads/sheets act better for this style so am glad to see you showing it. Thanks again for an excellent instruction... you're my fav. :-)

You are an amazing presenter/teacher :) learned so much from your channel. Thank you.

(I appreciate the fact that you always put up a verse of Scripture!) Very nice tutorials.

Great instruction for a beginner to watercolor. I think you have saved me from a lot of frustration. Thank you! New follower🙋‍♀️

Thank you for this very clear & comprehensive explanation of glazing. I use it, but had not had a clear picture of everything that could be done with it.

Your handwriting is fine. Very good instructions, thank you for the explanations

Thank you much! Growing up, I shied away from Watercolor. I just could not get it! That is why I stayed with Pastel Oil, Pen & Ink more. During Pandemic, I tried to learn watercolor again. I understand it more now. And your video really helped me.

I really enjoy your teaching. So clear , so precise. Thank you so very much. Also, your writing is just fine!!!

Thanks Steve, watching this video has opened my eyes to why things have not been working. Most of it is when paint should be wet or dry for the next step for me.

For a while now, I have been thinking about getting back into water color. I decided I would look for some tutorials and there you were. I studied water color 30+ years ago but my main focus over the past few has been acrylic land scape painting. My weapon of choice for spattering is a tooth brush and have used a hair dryer to speed things up. I am really enjoying your work and the walk down memory lane. Thanks!

I've been following your videos for quite a while and this summer I got into watercolor myself. You are an excellent teacher. I love your artwork as well. Thanks for all your great work.

Very good demonstration for this technique. You make it look easy. Your ideas will help me a lot. I am still waiting for my Silver Black Brushes. Thanks for all your great information. For sure just trying things and spending the time to learn how the paints mix, go on, and how brushes make it all work, is so necessary and worth it, when eventually it all starts to make sense. You are very inspiring and informative.

You explained it well thanks Dad

Your handwriting is pretty interesting. It changes over every single line!

Watercolor is such a challenge, but you make it easier with your demonstrations and explanations. Thanks for all you do for this community. You're the tops. Wish my hubby weren't so tight on the purse strings now we are retired. But I do get a lot out of your basic videos and you make every thing so clear. Thanks, Steve, for all you do. Kepp videos coming!

Such a great explanation of glazing. Thank you so much!

Lovely, enjoyable, useful ! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and knowledge!

Thank you Steve, for all your videos!

Thank you for clearly explaining glazing...I just became a patron!!!!!

That was the best video I've seen on glazing! Thanks for breaking it down so clearly, super helpful!

Your handwriting is beautiful, thanks so much for this video. This information is invaluable to me, because my attempts at glazing was lifting to much color. Im excited to try again.

I agree with Beth, the best explanation I have heard. Now I think I can handle doing this. Thanks.

Fitting all the other positive comments! Thanks! As usual, good stuff!

Thank you so much for this video. I never understood why or how layering is done. Thank you so much

I'm very grateful for your basics and this one opened my eyes for some secrets that I have seen you doing but not realized the core of it. Thank you indeed.

Thank you for doing what you do. 🙏

thank you so much. you really help me get started on the correct track. and THATS so important

As always... you make it look, see, & sound so easy! You're a super confidence builder!

Thank you, I would like to see how luminosity works. I can't seem to make my work shine. I really appreciate the love and passion you put into all your videos. You are appreciated more than you can imagine. Thank you.

Thank you Steve. Great explanation. Also, appreciate your good sense of humor.

Amazing tutorial!!!!! Thank you so much!!!! You are a great teacher!!!💓💓💓

You've really provided a fabulous service with these videos! Thanks again for your insights! Going back into my art after decades off, so it's great to review all of this.

Adoro i suoi video,spiegazioni chiare e preziose.grazie

Excellent thank you for this!

Great! Just learning! I have trouble with keeping my whites, white. This helps so much. Thank you.

You've been such a great resource of knowledge and learning. Thank you.

Love your tutorials. You explained the motivations and results so clearly. I feel so grateful that I could find your channel on KZfaq.

That was so helpful!!!! Thank you.

Just what I needed to get started diving back in to painting and having fun with it. Thanks for demonstrating.

Thank you it is really helping me learn.

This is a follow up comment. In relation to my question about dipping your paintbrush back into water with the idea of wasting. I had set all my painting attempts aside because I knew something was wrong, not any particular technique, but the whole process of painting and what its supposed to be. I never stopped watching videos and collecting watercolor paper though. Recently I went to Michaels to use my coupon for Arches paper, and while browsing through the store found a new line of painting items. They had a small tin of watercolor paints structured like the Schminke tins. While setting up the swatch paper that came with it, I got the idea of taking extra watercolor paper and using the rest of the paint from the brush. I realized it was too dry, so somehow instinctually I dipped my brush in the water to use up the pigment. I realized why I stopped painting and why I needed to redip my brush. I could keep going and going with the one original load of paint. It's actually the very oppisite of wasting the paint. I hope my ability to paint will take off now. I use 3 sets of water, one clear, one for cleaning, and one for dipping. Yahoo. finally.

This was very helpful. Thanks

Thank you! from the Cape in South Africa

Thank you for this tutorial. I have been painting in other mediums, now I’m doing a lot of watercolor. All the techniques are different. This has been very informative. Now to practice!!!
