Thank you so much for the simplicity and clarity of your presentation and not assuming the listener is at your level. The visuals as you talk were very helpful.
This is the best video I've seen in years on watercolor, no one explains it at all much less as thoroughly as you do. Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned skill in a way that has helped me progress tremendously. You are my go-to artist for learning from this point forward.
Wow Steve! You just answered about a million questions I had on glazing. I’m going to watch this while testing my paints. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to achieve subtle changes in my watercolor. I’ve been doing a lot with colored pencils previously and I knew there had to be techniques that would translate the same way in watercolor, I just didn’t know what they were until this video. Thank you for sharing. Very much appreciated. Blessings to you!
I have just started watercolour painting, haven't done any painting since I was at school probably 13, now 62, you are so good at teaching, the best on you tube, will just stick with you from now on. 🙂
Ok Steve, I used a new soft brush that holds tons of water and paint. This is one of the reasons I was lifting paint. I’m going to start again, go slower, and only use use thirsty brush for first layer. It wasn’t the paper. Thanks so much for walking me through this.
This is an awesome explanation and demonstation of glazing! I have struggled with it in the past but did not want the notion of it to defeat me! Thank you
I so appreciate your time and talent. I am just now getting serious about glazing after 4 years of screwing up paintings. You make it easy to understand where I have been going wrong..thank you again.
As a professional artist, I love to learn and I thank you so much for these wonderful videos, which are so informative! Bless you too for adding the passages from scripture at the end of the videos.
Steve you are such an incredible teacher. I was an art major ended up with a career in fashion. Now I’m retired and disabled, working on my fine motor skills, your advise is so concise, well thought out, great classroom!
I am revisiting this video after creating a glazing mess , ignoring or forgetting all your glazing advices and tips , you are the best !!! Thanks Steve for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼
Have watched a lot of videos on learning water painting techniques, but find that your videos are the clearest and the easiest to follow along. Thanks for making them!
im very appreciate of this video as i just started learning watercolors. I been an oil and acrylic painter for 10 years, but was always afraid of watercolors. wish me luck! i;ll be viewing your videos for guidance, thank you !
Looking forward to using watercolor after all this time with oils. I did one watercolor on waterboard other than the watercolor we did as a kid in grade school. I am a proponent of glazing in oils, do it all the time. My new venture is using the technique in watercolor and your video high tights my interest in starting watercolor.....thanks so much. Much appreciated. Oh and my age. Will be 92 in April, if I make it.
Your hints on paper dryness, looseness of red pigments and deep colours, best choice of brushes are right on the money. I will take your advice and teachings to my easel. I have looked for glazing info but have found very little. This demo was by far the very best resource I've found so far. Thank you very much!
Steve - great video; my previous attempts were always muddy .... I was painting wet into wet and now realize I was dissolving the previous layers. Can't wait for my next practice!
Wow it's almost 2021 and I'm just learning about watercolor. Your videos are a must for anyone who is new to the art of watercolor. Thank you and Happy New Year!
“Be careful of compliments” Ok. As in “nice glazing you have there”! 😂😂 (I think the spelling you wanted was an e instead of an i.) I got a kick out of it though!! I am restarting using watercolor after 14 years. These have been very helpful. TFS!
While reading and watching everything I can about watercolors (and there's a lot!), I came across your videos and have to agree with everyone's assessment, your explanations and demonstrations are clear and very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your tutorials I have become a true 'minder'. I am learning so much and it is really helping me to better understand how to use watercolour. Best watercolour tutorials I have come across with clear explanations in a down to earth style.
Your demonstrations are wonderful! It is very helpful when you are explaining how the paint reacts and why you are doing what you are doing. Thank you!
I love this video. I will watch it again, and write all the tips down. I do glazing, but I never really knew how to practice it . I think I will get out some paper and spend a morning testing, testing, testing!! Thanks, Steve!
As a complete novice, I found this video to be very helpful. You step thru the logic for each step and demonstrate the techniques in a very logical fashion. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share the tips/techniques. Wonderful.
Thank you for this very clear & comprehensive explanation of glazing. I use it, but had not had a clear picture of everything that could be done with it.
Thank you so much for this... especially showing it on Arches. I'm an x-oil painter who used glazing extensively and expects luminosity with my transparent pigments. New to watercolor, I kept hearing about the wonders of Arches so I bought a block. Wow, I was sooo disappointed. My pigments that glowed on cellulose, with a percentage of cotton thus not soaking in so much, turned dull and almost chalky looking in comparison to me when dried glazing on the block. I was not happy with the cream white paper either. Researching this problem off youtube, I found others experiencing the same thing. I read there seems to be a difference in Arches pads, sheets and blocks and, for glazing, pads/sheets act better for this style so am glad to see you showing it. Thanks again for an excellent instruction... you're my fav. :-)
I've been following your videos for quite a while and this summer I got into watercolor myself. You are an excellent teacher. I love your artwork as well. Thanks for all your great work.
I've taught students for years, "Better glaze than never!" This is a wonderful tutorial and really reduces the subject down to a simple, understandable form. Nice job, Steve. Even Reese looked impressed. Cheers! :)
Thank you so much Steve for this video! The toning down , graying, the yellow box! The leaf with complimentary color! And using the Cosmo top spin brush (one of my favorites) instead of my favorite quill mop brush! So helpful!! Priceless! Your great and thanks for all you do for us! Hugs and Blessings!
Thanks Steve, watching this video has opened my eyes to why things have not been working. Most of it is when paint should be wet or dry for the next step for me.
Thank you much! Growing up, I shied away from Watercolor. I just could not get it! That is why I stayed with Pastel Oil, Pen & Ink more. During Pandemic, I tried to learn watercolor again. I understand it more now. And your video really helped me.
Watercolor is such a challenge, but you make it easier with your demonstrations and explanations. Thanks for all you do for this community. You're the tops. Wish my hubby weren't so tight on the purse strings now we are retired. But I do get a lot out of your basic videos and you make every thing so clear. Thanks, Steve, for all you do. Kepp videos coming!
For a while now, I have been thinking about getting back into water color. I decided I would look for some tutorials and there you were. I studied water color 30+ years ago but my main focus over the past few has been acrylic land scape painting. My weapon of choice for spattering is a tooth brush and have used a hair dryer to speed things up. I am really enjoying your work and the walk down memory lane. Thanks!
WOW!!! I’m new to watercolor & this was so informative. I see so many things I’ve been doing wrong. Can’t wait to paint with this new information. Thanks so much your videos are so helpful.
You've really provided a fabulous service with these videos! Thanks again for your insights! Going back into my art after decades off, so it's great to review all of this.
Your handwriting is beautiful, thanks so much for this video. This information is invaluable to me, because my attempts at glazing was lifting to much color. Im excited to try again.
Very good demonstration for this technique. You make it look easy. Your ideas will help me a lot. I am still waiting for my Silver Black Brushes. Thanks for all your great information. For sure just trying things and spending the time to learn how the paints mix, go on, and how brushes make it all work, is so necessary and worth it, when eventually it all starts to make sense. You are very inspiring and informative.
Thank you for this tutorial. I have been painting in other mediums, now I’m doing a lot of watercolor. All the techniques are different. This has been very informative. Now to practice!!!
I'm very grateful for your basics and this one opened my eyes for some secrets that I have seen you doing but not realized the core of it. Thank you indeed.
I appreciate your videos. I've never seen anyone draw so easy and accurate. I've been watching sence 1, 2018 when I discovered you on utube and wanted to learn watercolor. I became a patron but have trouble watching your channel On my phone. It switches back to utube. But I'm still watching. Im a retired graphic designer. I did'nt have a chance to take a watercolor class in school. I will be 80 at the end of the year and still learning. Enjoy seeing your family and the places you visit. Keep teaching.
Thank you so much for the simplicity and clarity of your presentation and not assuming the listener is at your level. The visuals as you talk were very helpful.
Steve, you just summarized four weeks of art classes in less than twenty minutes. Dawn breaks on Marblehead.
Thank you for this quote from the Bible - I need it today ❤
I've just started watercolor in my 50s and this was one of the most helpful videos I've watched, thank you.
I am with you! I am closer to 60 & just picking up a brush! I learned to much from this video!!

You are the king of explaining techniques. I saw this close to two years ago; it still it THE tutorial for glazing. I needed a refresher!
