    My dear friend, while others may have already done this technique in the past (or not, I have no idea), to me you have taken your skills and your presentation to an entirely new level. This was just a complete, unexpected blast to right field, zipping over the bleachers and into the parking lot. So well done and you make it seem effortless. How ten people clicked "dislike" shows they are just incapable of handling this kind of bold, courageous step outside of one's comfort zone and into the sheer realm of pure learning, experimentation, and fun. Again, I've never seen you do this before, so maybe it's something you've been at for years, but for me - this was the epitome of The Mind of Watercolor. ~ Mark

    gosh thats nice beyond nice but I think you know what I mean . as I'm playing with water color this month , thanks to you I am understanding things better. I made a bunch of miniatures which I framed today and posted on IG . I am totally thrilled with it . the littlest one is 3 by 3 inches. and yes I used reference photos and adapted every single piece . I always make it my own. the train rails I did from my head . and the tree in the centre of the frame .

    It occurred to me that this ability to tease out a painting from drips, has to be a result of many years of practice and devotion to your art: l have little experience, but l realised my ability to coordinate my mind and my body has improved with the little l've accomplished. And, congratulations!

    One-third the way through this wonderful book! If you struggle with trying to be looser in your painting, this book will really help and yet, Nita's results are also startlingly realistic and impressionistic at the same time. What is also of tremendous value is her explanation of how to develop your own style by means of thinking about a vision you want to achieve.
    There is sooo much to get from this book and her exercises have also helped me. Once again, Steve, I thank you. BTW, your adaption of her technique ,though admittedly simplified, is a helpful way to start. I began with a seascape and used your guidance by directing the free flowing water I sprayed on and later added contrasting touches when the paint dried, as you did in this video.
    I had given up on Watercolour books,(PS I'm Canadian and that's how we spell), but this one is a must read. Encore, Merci Steve

I hadn’t painted for about 20 years, but was inspired BY YOU to gather my old supplies, let go and paint. Thank you for inspiration, positive vibes and wonderful lessons!
    Please tell me the size of that quill you began with. This is a beautiful, peaceful painting and I’d like to give this technique a try. CONGRATULATIONS on inspiring over 200,000 people!

Not sure how long I've been a subscribing, but was going thru old notes from when I started watercolor & found notes on 2 of your video my date was Oct 2015. So I must have found you in your First year of UTube. One of the videos was on making a color viewer. & the other was on finding good Art Instruction sources & "Visual Overload" you likened to Carnival Barkers. Bravo to you & your honest content.

    You are such a force for good times on creative RUclips. I finally got into drawing consistently again after a twenty year dry spell this january, and yours was one of the first channels I found.
    What luck! I've been trying my hand on watercolors for about four months now, and I really enjoy it.
    Thank you for your hard work and your patience, and congratulations on five years and 200,000 subscribers!
