thank you. Watercolor is difficult to grasp. your help is appreciated.

Besides the awesome hints, LOVE the new haircut. So flattering.

I agree to all the above, but I have to acknowledge your whimsical frog ring (♥️). Missing your adorable cats, though. I hope you are all very well

You are such a good artist and explain so well. ❤

She is beautiful

Thanks Michele! 🎨🖼️🥰

Cats are awesome. 😻 Good tips!

The most striking thing about this is ( and I totally get it ) that even your examples of what not to do are amazing. Much like playing music it’s not what or what not to do, but, when to do it.

Love the haircut Michelle

'When you think it's dry, let it dry some more' That's where I go wrong, so many times and still not learnt.

Thanks for this ! These bite-size videos are great. Particularly liked the demo about wet in wet technique. ❤

Stephen Quiller is a master of wet into wet ( pre-wetted paper). His paintings are exquisite.

This is super helpful!

Love your new hair style!

Most people seem to push the wet paper method hard. I have gravitated to dry paper and if I need wet in wet I will either pre-wet the area I need, sky is a good example, or I will hit it with a light wash first. It seems to me that putting down clean water is a waste of a step when it could easily be a starting colour, even a very light value colour can boost the depth as long as it is done in such a way as to not accidentally create a muddy result.

Dear Michele, I do SOOOO enjoy your videos. They are very, very helpful and inspiring! I really appreciate your skill and experience and down-to-earth wisdom (WAIT--WAIT--WAIT!! until it really IS dry) lol. Also -- very good production value. Your audio is crisp and clear. Your lighting is lovely. You are organized and have all your examples in mind, and have done a very good job editing so that your pace is snappy. AND you have such a good sense of humor. I hope the weather is treating you well. I am in New Mexico (US southwest) -- our relative humidity has been in the single digits for 2 weeks, lots of wildfires. Eek. What we wouldn't give for one of your afternoon rains! Anyway, THANK YOU!

Thank you for the valuable tips 🌷🍏🌻

Thank you!

I am really enjoying the 3 tips videos. Great information & reminders for intermediate & experienced artists as well as the beginners. Thanks for explaining how to control your water levels in painting.

Great tips! Thank you!!!

Thanks Michele. Always a pleasure. 💖

I am really enjoying watching your smaller videos for tips ...a nice break in a busy day for me but I don't feel guilty as im learning something all the time. Thank you!

Thank you for the tips! I don't think I ever realized that I should just be using the tip of the brush to soak up spots of water, that may really help me a lot!

Great!

Thank you

Always worthwhile! Thank you, Michelle. ❤

"Let the paint dry" is a mantra I learned when I was building miniatures. Also, though less useful for watercolor painting, was "Let the glue dry" which was probably the #1 worst mistake everybody struggled with. Waiting is so Not Fun! :)

Great explanation! You always make me smile💕

Great tips! Thanks I'm going to have a go at what you have said and not use so much water!❤🌷

Hurray! Another awesome video! I could get used to 2 vids a week!

Game changer! Thanks for sharing!

Such a helpful video! I'll be watching more!

Great three tips Michele.🥰

i have to remember that first tip! i've been using a tissue and i just don't have the control i need and sometimes it makes a mess ... thanks so much for all you do for us!

Very helpful!

Thanks so much! But what kind of paper did you use? I see artists using hot and cold press paper, and cotton. What kind did you use here? Can you please do a video about paper? And when to use certain kinds that will work best with the composition? 🌷

Thank you for a great tutorial!

Famous last words of lots of things that go wrong: "Ohhhh, it'll be OK." ;-)

I really like that brush you are using, I know you may get this question a lot, but what kind of brush is it?

I've only used paper towels in a few cases. One time, I considered the color in an area too dark. I applied a wet brush, then blotted, and the color looked lighter.
