Like the german I am, I went out and bought the best supplies and watched about thirty of Mako's videos before even attempting to put brush to paper. Her soothing voice, calming confidence, perfect instructions, and relaxing music finally got me to dip my brush. Seriously, it's got to be so easy, right? I mean, really? The first sunset did not blend at all, even though I followed the instructions to a fault. It was a mess of colors. Now I realize, it's practice, practice, and practice some more. I ordered the book and look forward to failing miserably until I don't.
I did this with my older sister who's 21 and I'm 10 I did the field and my sister did the sunset and that was really fun! And me and my sister together having fun it was like a bonding moment 😊😊😊
Awww that's cute! I did this with my little cousins, they are 12 and 10 and I'm 16. They loved it! Her style is so easy and relaxing yet still fun and pretty!
My daughter and I did this together and it was a lot of fun. The paper was not for watercolors but they still turned out great. Thank you for the video.
Happy Saturday! Time for another painting session! Don't forget to grab my FREE watercolor painting guides! You can find the link in the description box! ❤
makoccino awesome video i loved seeing you painting again what I’m wanting to paint but don’t know how is aurora borealis night sky with igloo and snow on the ground I really don’t know how to do it I see it in my head but can’t create it how do I make my Snow White and colours dancing in the sky could you please please please help me Makko. Your amazing I love your video. 🤗♥️💙🧡💚💜💖😘💋
The water on the second one was not that good....but i like other two and also...i can't paint as good as u but i understand wut art is and your hardwork on it so...maybe one day i will be making this type of same tuto better than this?maybe?
These are some of my favourite videos that you do, because you make the paintings seem easy and doable enough that I can usually get over my fear of failure and actually try them. Normally I'm so worried about wasting paint, paper, and creating something ugly that I cant even pick up a brush when I want to paint.
I had such a blast painting this. I learned alot and it was so much fun! I'm pretty much a total beginner at watercolors but have been doing art for about 10 years roughly. Thanks for the great video!
I got watercolors for Christmas, and today my motivation decided to come back (as it was damaged by quarantine) I feel very confident in starting off with this, thank you for the tips and guides !
I followed along, my very first time trying to do something like this, and although it didn’t come out how I wanted it to, I am still happy to have made a thing! Thank you so much!
I was thinking the same... Result is not as expected, but I learned so many small things and realised that I'm actually capable of doing more than leafs with watercolor haha
These are so lovely! My grandfather was a watercolor artists and he used to set us up next to him with our own papers. Learning how to have a much lighter touch was a hard one for us. This takes me back.
I tried it, it is my first ever water color experience (after the disastrous way we used it in school as kids) I am glad with the outcome.. I wish I can show it you what I could create
OH MY GOD I just did this tutorial as my first watercolor painting ever AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for this! Super cool result and I'm actually understanding how much water, pressure and patience it takes!
I honestly just watch these videos, because I find the way watercolour moves across the page and dilutes so satisfying/ hypnotising lol. Maybe one day I'll have a go, who knows? lol
I learnt so much from this tutorial! Thank you! I usually get bored when I mess up paintings but I realized from watching your videos that I can just make something better out of my mistakes!
I really enjoyed this, my attempt is not nearly as nice as yours but I learned that I can wipe off some layers if I go wrong and mostly fix them if necessary. I'm looking forward to some more watercolor, I haven't worked with it since high school (many years ago) and then I didn't care for it because I couldn't get the hang of it. Thanks for the tutorial!
This is the most beginner friendly watercolor painting I've ever found and I'm glad that I did! Thank you for this! I just recently bought a new watercolor paint set and watercolor paper and this video's so helpful! Grabbing my materials now to paint while watching this. Subscribed! ❤️
Hey Mako, I'm literally much younger than u as my age is 11 years old. I'm using my dad's account. I tried ur painting and was really nice. My family members appreciated me as well. Thank you for this amazing painting. I'm a subscriber of your channel. Bye, meet you in your latest video.
Has anyone else noticed that Mako only used 1 brush to do all this?...Also, I used a small ratio of brown, orange, yellow and white to make yellow ochre cz my watercolors are pretty basic and i only have 12 shades but it looks just like urs....btw I had and art exhibit at school and i did this. They said whoever has more likes will get prizes...and I got first!!!....This is my first ever watercolor painting ever and its the BEST...thanks to u Mako...
I do have a video idea. I have a windsor newton water color palette and I am always confused on what colors go together in order to not make the paints appear too muddy and blend naturally. If you could do like a warm colors / cool colors list for the popular palettes that you use that would be sooo helpful. Thank you for all that you do Mako
U love watercolors the most right ? Well,........ U made me realize u can even create something as beautiful as the one on canvas(acrylic paint) with watercolors. THANK YOU
Oh my goodness!! I took just the middle sunset painting and did it for my friend and SHE LOVED IT!!! I wish I could post photos on here cause it turned out great!!
I really love art so much and plus people tell me I draw like a printer so I'm looking forward to become an artist and I'm really good at watercolors its like a dream and you all should follow your dreams too based on what you like to do everyone thinks its normal to them but for you it's like a treasure. So follow your dreams and don't give up. im a 12year old girl myself I am grateful for what I'm doing and i ,all be grateful for you of what your doing😊😊😊😊😊
This is incredible. So relaxing to watch too. You’re very talented! I’m just learning watercolour and this video was super helpful, can’t wait to get started 😊
I saw 3 - 4 of your videos and was immediately hooked. Love the simplistic tutorials, and when you mean easy, you MEAN easy. You earned a new subscriber. Good Luck :)
Actually you were the one who taught me, helped me and one if your acrylic tutorial was my first painting ever now here I am again this time with watercolor
Mako,I've always loved your art and I really find your videos helpful. I have a request, can you make a video on watercolor paintings which are a level up than the beginner level cuz I wanna learn more about them. ❤💗
I do a lot of videos that might be a little beyond beginner level. They're mostly on animals though. I need to do some landscape and diversify I know lol.
Hello. Im trying to copy what you did since we are at the home quarantine and i dont have school anymore. What other papers can i use except for watercolor paper?
You can technically use any paper for watercolors, and common printer paper works fine for wet on dry! but watercolor paper holds up best when you want to repeatedly get the paper wet (wet on wet), like this tutorial calls for. Maybe look at kelogsloops channel for his tutorials too, his videos focus more on practicing specific techniques (which doesn't necessarily require tough paper)!
I swear I hated and never had interest in watercolor before this (or painting at all; I draw). You make me want to paint. You make it look so fun. Thank you so much for such an amazing video, and your paintings were very beautiful, too! It's insane ... 30 minutes!!
what I dont get is, if we are supposed to mix all the colours we need from just a handful of colours, why do manufacturers make so many different colours? I just want to buy them all.
@@lynnjeffries7525 I guess its easier for people to directly take paint from tubes/pans than it is to search around for warm/cool complementary/non complementary colours...🤷♀️🤷♂️
Hello Mako! Is it possible for your to make a video with the ways of dealing it varnishing water colour art work? Also have you tried to use faux metal gold or silver leaf in a water colour art work?
Hey! I haven't tried out faux metal but I want to do that one day! I've only tested out a spray for watercolor varnishing. It's by the brand called Schmincke and I think it's great! I haven't tested it out for long but it was super easy to use without any streaky results that you would get if you would brush over the varnish. So having a spray instead is awesome!
I just bought a small watercolour set as I have always wanted to try watercolour painting. But...I didn't have a clue what to do. Your film is very helpful. Thank you.
Hey Mako! Can you make more videos like these?? I could actually paint the middle one out of these and I loved this step by step method! Thank you so much! 💜

I’ve asked myself the same.

I tried it .it works .Never created such a beautiful painting before
Mako: I finished this in 30 minutes
Me being the beginner that I am: *finishes in 2 hours*
Oh La same omg
Atleast you finished it. Me still thinking.
Same 😂
It took me 90 minutes to do 2 of the paintings! She's so fast!
At least you did it
Absolutely wonderful. My God you made such a lovely pic. so simple. No words. True teacher and a fan artist. Thanks. Love you dear.
who else loves mako's watercolor style so much?❤️❤️❤️
awww
I love watercolor
Me 😍 love her voice too
@@okikman1005 Yeah, her voice is so relaxing

My brain: i can do this!!!
My hands: "are you sure about that honey?"
Lol literally me 🤣🤣
Same doe

My hands: You're such a freakin' weirdo.
I got watercolors for Christmas, and today my motivation decided to come back (as it was damaged by quarantine) I feel very confident in starting off with this, thank you for the tips and guides !
Now I know why we need watercolour paper for watercolours😅
Parvez Munshi Lmao! I get that; at least use mixed media paper, because anything thinner than that can’t handle the weight of the different layers. 😄
I just use cards.
@@Elizabeth-lv5dj my favlborite paper is Arches Cold Press 140 lb
@kitty corn Gotta get the paper right! It has a huge affect on how the painting looks!
@kitty corn no not really - a lot of the papers for watercolor look the same, but different brands and types have different looks when painted on
This is the art teacher we all would have wanted in school
Her "here and there" : looks artistic and pretty.
Mine : looks like oreo's crumbs
i feel ya xD
OUCH SAME IT IS SO UMSATISFIYINGGG
LMFAOOO MEE

You are a pleasure to watch and listen to, you simplify things for me, thank you.
I feel like I am ready to paint again. 💕
You should - it's so fun to paint! It can be so relaxing if you just do it for fun and don't pressure yourself to make something perfect.
Its called Motivation ❣️💞

OH MY GOD
I just did this tutorial as my first watercolor painting ever AND IT WAS AMAZING!!!! Thank you so much for this! Super cool result and I'm actually understanding how much water, pressure and patience it takes!
The sky in the middle painting is so wholesome to me 😍 I can feel it’s peace. So beautiful
This is the best thing I have ever seen using water colors . Your ideas are amazing I give this video a 10/10
I love this '
Wow her painting was looking so real.
Yeah hi army 💜
Woah.. She makes it look really easy
I honestly just watch these videos, because I find the way watercolour moves across the page and dilutes so satisfying/ hypnotising lol. Maybe one day I'll have a go, who knows? lol
U should definitely try it out. It looks way more astonishing when you are the one "messing" with it *-*
YOU DO WATERCOLOR PAINTING VERY WELL! THANK YOU SO MUCH MAKOCCINO!
After I spill water all over my table, watercolor made a large blob and accidentally breaking my paint brush I must say this is very relaxing indeed
HAHAHA...😭
A mood indeed. 😌...🤣🤣
I don't know how,but my brush accidentally knocked over a bottle of vinegar,it broke,and now my room smells like it's a trench from WW1
Something like that happened to me, I spilled water on the table and the walls came down 😫😬👍
Your video are so excellent! My paintings are all learnt from you!!

Me: **tries mixing colors**
Also me: It's poop brown now 😑
Kathleen Cayabyab omg same I’m just a cat
It depends on the color wheel- you shouldn't mix colors that's directly opposite of it or else your gonna get a pop color
what I dont get is, if we are supposed to mix all the colours we need from just a handful of colours, why do manufacturers make so many different colours? I just want to buy them all.
This is sooo true!
