Thank you for watching "Abstract Watercolor Painting Demonstration." Sorry it's so long - but I do very much appreciate your support!

[@dianecharest8365]

Wow! Very understandable demonstration. Thank you. I was also confused with warm and cool colors.

[@pamelapaulenko1922]

I really enjoy your videos!!! Very helpful. I love your teaching on design and use of characteristics of colors.

Pamela, thanks so much, I appreciate it!

David, thank you so much for doing some watercolor demos. I am fairly new to painting and chose watercolor as the medium I work with. I would like to see more of these demos. I love the way you explain why you choose the colors you are using and how they impact the overall painting. It's also very helpful to see your palette and how you handle the water on your brush as you paint.

Hi Barbara, I don’t often paint in watercolor, although I started my painting journey as a watercolor painter 30 years ago. Thanks for watching and I’m happy you find it helpful.

Loved this video! It's a great intro to watercolor abstract - just what I'm looking for and I totally enjoyed your process. Especially when you went back, inserted a touch of color, and commented - oh yeah that works better. I find that so funny - I do that same thing - the question is - who else would notice? Well done David.
Looking forward to watching all your abstract watercolor videos Thanks for sharing and teaching! :)

Always LOVE your watercolor demos - I have learned so much from you (your paper prep process, as well as art principles), in person, and here. Thank you!

Je viens à peine de découvrir votre chaîne et j'ai appris beaucoup en un seul cour grâce à vos démonstrations mais surtout à vos explications d'une grande pédagogie. Je vous remercie pour votre générosité. Je m'abonne à votre chaîne et je vais suivre tous vos vidéos. Dommage que je ne comprenne pas l'anglais mais la traduction n'est pas trop mauvaise.

[@davidm.kesslerfineart1717]

Merci

A great video David !! Long and soothing - fabulous !!!!! Very well painted and informed !! Would you ever think of doing a similar theme on an acrylic on canvas painting? I bet that would be good !! Thanks from Rob

[@davidm.kesslerfineart1717]

Thanks Rob. I do acrylic videos like this one for my paid courses, but not for RUclips.
