You are such an inspiration to me! I have bipolar depression, and sometimes no matter how much I want to paint I just can’t seem to get my mind to work right. Your techniques and your fun, loving personality always helps me so much and the flow of your videos is very therapeutic for me. Thanks for this terrific demonstration!

"Technical info" can be good if its relevance to the subject under discussion is explained--as you usually do. A bunch of "tech speak" just meant to impress the listener (done all to often by some) is often ignored. Another fine example of playing around with watercolor while testing brushes. Thanks for the demonstration and evaluation.

I value your opinion very highly as it influences my opinion and choices of products - thank you for that.

Pareidolia! My partner told me a couple of years ago that I have pareidolia. I'm discovering that it is a major help in watercolor painting. I think that watching you paint I have stretched it further and now pass on the label to you! par·ei·do·lia ˌper-ˌī-ˈdō-lē-ə -ˈdōl-yə : the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern. Thank you for your willingness to share your skills with us newer artists, young and old.

Hullo Steve, Lovely painting and a truly sweet collection of brushes! I have more brushes than I can possible use up before I pass on! I believe that synthetic brushes have come so far in just the last 10 years! I think many are even better that natural hair brushes! Mixing and matching the different diameter hairs of synthetics are an ingenious method of creating these new age brushes! These are beautiful to hold and their looks are quite nice too! Thanks for the review and painting in action!

I love it when I can look at your spontaneous washes & see the trees & rocks emerging way before you put them in lately. These brushes look like the stiffer & snappier type of brushes that I am looking for. I am definitely going to have to give their website a look. Also glad to know how long the Kolinsky Sable brushes will last, especially for the price. This painting is gorgeous. Thanks for sharing this wonderful video & testing out the brushes.

Hi Steve, Just wanted to thank you for all the inspiration your spontaneous paintings gave me when I first discovered your channel during covid, when I finally had time to paint. If only I had had a teacher like you years ago. They all said you just had to loosen up and let the watercolor do it's own thing , but until I found your channel that never made any sense. Your spontaneous techniques have been incredible inspiration and jumping off points to some of my best impressionist landscapes ever since. All the wondrous little nooks and crannies of nature just keep appearing as you work on them, drawing you into an unknown wonderland. It's no wonder they are always so popular. Thanks again, Steve!
