Absolutely beautiful and I have learned a lot. I was just about to say "Add a bird!" and there you are, you did. Lovely.
My mother is a watercolor painter and I’ve always wished I could paint. I never actually watched her process but after watching you for some time I decided to try. It is so helpful to watch from beginning to end. I never realized that there is a method. Working from light color to the more defining darker tones is such an interesting concept to me.
Thank you! I really appreciate how you talk throughout the video, explaining color, brush sizes, wetness of paint and paper etc.
You’re welcome!
the process of painting the sky fascinated me a lot. The scene is simple - painting is not that simple. It looks great.
Matt thank you so much. I am a newbie at this craft. Your tips and videos are so helpful. I just followed along with the basic landscape. I took notes. Plan to do one myself of a similar photo I have. It won't look like your picture but I hope to learn as I go. I am over 70 and this is my first venture into art. I have done other things throughout my life but always wanted to try watercolor. My daughter, son-in-law and 8 year old grandson are all very creative and artistic. I never considered myself artistic because I couldn't draw. But I'm getting brave!! I want to paint for the joy of creating. So I will keep practicing. Thank you again Matt. Pat Miller
Hi Pat! I think that's great. It's never too late to learn. You may have a whole new chapter ahead of you. Happy painting!
I’m just starting with watercolor and seeing a pro walking me through the process so patiently is pure gold. Thank you so much!
So glad you liked it!
Your contributions are both satisfying and instructive. After several years, I got my watercolor utensils out again and thanks to your films, I was able to paint some nice pictures right away.
I love your demonstrations in the slow and patient where you go about explaining these techniques. I am so thankful to have come across your channel! Thank you!
Was interested to spot additions that immediately made a dramatic difference:in the picture: ie the upper outline around the left haybale; the areas of stronger blues in the sky; the wonderful trees at the right and framing tree at the left; and the warm close haybale that strikes me as the subject of the painting. It really is an interesting painting to watch develope into a safe, peaceful, homey landscape. Thank you for your calm, articulate and pleasing presentation.
Thank you so much for your tutorials and all of our great tips! I just started watercolour this week and have been watching so many of our videos. They are unbelievably helpful. My paintings are not terrible!
I loved painting this and it would not have come out nearly as well without all of your help. Thank you so much, you are very talented, I love your work. Please do more of the "small and simple" as you call them.
Just discovered your videos and subscribed. I am mainly a floral artist who has only been painting in watercolor two years. I recently decided to branch out and try doing landscapes. I find your videos very helpful! Lots of good information.
Thank you for this one. I live in horse farm county and this is dear to my heart. Beautiful pasture with hay bales ❤❤❤😊
Thanks for such a great demonstration. You’re a very good teacher. I’m learning how to connect shapes and this demonstrates it perfectly. Really appreciate your sharing your knowledge with us.
A fabulous tutorial! Thank you kindly for this and the wonderful information you provided along the way.
Thank you! Sky in this piece is pure magic. I was intrigued seeing how you used the lavender, too.
Hello Rebecca
Awesome explanations and tutorial. Was intimidating at first still as a beginner but so thrilled with my results!! There's always something I could have gone back to and revised but let it be done while feeling really good about it!
Thank you for sharing this video! I followed along and I'm so pleased with the result, I can't believe that I painted it. I especially love the sky, this method of wetting both sides of the paper has really won me over. I am also a self-taught artist, so thank you for sharing all your knowledge.
So glad to hear that, Pamela! Best of luck in your painting.
Love these demos, I learn so much!
Thank you! 🙂
Lovely. I have never seen an artist incorporate so much lavender. I would love a video on this! I also love the way you mix your greens
Hello Kelly
I tried wetting both sides of my paper today…it was in a sketchbook but even so worked beyond expectations! The background I wanted to establish before doing detail work came out exactly as I envisioned it and this was because I wasn’t fighting the paper drying out…I had plenty of time to set the color just the way I wanted. Thank you for the greatly appreciated advice and tutorials. 👏🌞🌅
Hello how are you
I like your style of painting, how the light comes through and how you make it appear relaxed and easy to do. Inspiring me to continue. Thanks Matthew. Elke
So glad to hear that. Best of luck in your painting! Keep going!
I've just subscribed, having discovered your channel a couple of weeks ago. This was such an excellent tutorial that it pushed me into my 6th -or maybe 7th- subscription to a RUclips channel.
It's amazing to me how many excellent wstercolorists post their work here. In my experience, you have most succinctly stated the "watercolor problem", which is that the qualuties of medium itself -- it's wetness and continual drying.
I sincerely appreciate that you include instruction in what sort of strokes with what sorts of bushes work best to achieve a painterly effect, while also taking care that the result should appear fresh and not overworked. I'm beginning to think that the very best watercolors are so satisfying because they appear to have been painted spontaneously, and ala fresca. Your works seem to capture that magical quality of the medium, and I very much appreciate your sharing this with us.
Just discovered you! Boy, sure am glad I did! Love your paintings and I am able to follow along at my pace. Great teacher. Thanks.🙂
Thank you so much for posting this free tutorial. I love watercolor painting, however I am self taught because classes are too expensive where I live. I am always so grateful for content creators who post tutorials for free!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your skies and they're something I can practice from. Thank You
You are so welcome
Just starting out with watercolors. Your tutorial gave me the confidence to get the paint on the paper and understand how to built a painting. Thank you
Glad I could help!
Thank you for sharing your gift with us. I learned so much and the painting is lovely.
Thats the first video i saw that really explains me how to "build" clouds. Tanks!!! Love it ❤
Glad it was helpful!
You're in my top three of trusted watercolour inspiration. You give me great confidence. Thank you.
That's so kind of you. Thanks!
Many thanks for this great workshop! This helps me to get ahead and make progress in myprojects. I really like the way they show and explain it!
I learned so much from this. Thank you. And you are calm and explain things well. ❤️
Thank you for the tips... I am so, so new to this all. Thank you for letting me know when to let it dry. I have watched others and they don't let me know they have let their paper dry. I continue on and find myself with mud on my paper. I am going to watch this one over again and give it a try. This is great and you are very inspiring . I can do this. 😄
Yes, you can do it!
Thank you I will be patient and keep trying! Appreciate all the tips.
I can't get my watercolors dark enough. It either looks brown or it is too light and looks cartoony.
Matt, This video is very helpful to me. Thank you so very much for this clear, step by step demonstration!
Thank you so mutch ❤❤❤ I have learn so mutch from you! Love painting! From Sweden !
Fantastic video, I really enjoyed your teaching style, thank you. I really love how you have mixed the colours, I never knew to use lavender- brilliant tip!
TY for keeping the reference picture up. You explain well. New subscriber. 🇨🇦
PRO demo! Your channel is going to blow up man. Thanks for sharing.
Terima kasih.. sudah sharing. Pewarnaannya bagus.. n natural.
Mantaap..!!
👍😘
Those Clouds.✨✨..I was swooning as you created that sky. You make it look so easy. I have to think it's years of practice and creating your brilliant technique. Maybe 1K more in skies, I too will get there. Thanks for the brilliant instruction and taking us on a journey to create something brilliant. Mind you mine looks close to yours, but isn't art really all about interpretation? Thank you for sharing with all of us and allowing us to grow as better artists too.
Thank you Matthew! That was a fantastic tutorial !
thank you for this video ! I enjoyed watching your technique.
You make it look so simple. Great lesson!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you Matt. This was very helpful!
I have seen a lot of watercolor videoes lately - this was one of the best!
Thank you very much for your work. The video and comments you make of the process are as good as the watercolor you have painted.
Thank you very much!
Hi Matthew, I was watching a lot of Christian Koivumaa's videos and got your channel in the feed, so thanks to him I now watch you too 😄 Your styles are somewhat similar but also with very different approaches. You both seem to be great guys with a sense of humour, and it would be fabulous to see both of you in a video "side by side" doing a watercolor from the same photo! I'm sure he would be game. I got the idea because I just did an exercise in one of Christian's online courses from a very similar photo to the one in your video here.
What a GREAT idea for an infotaining way to observe art and art making
Thank you for this amazing video, Matthew! Painted following your tips and steps and got a beautiful art :) More practice on the way!!
So glad to hear that!
Amazing cloud building - thank you.
Thanks a lot for your free vdo of the great work of creating such a good looking fluffy cloud
Thank you so much for the video. I learned a lot about how to paint a nice sky 🙏🙏I love your way of explaining every detail .
Glad it was helpful!
You are an excellent teacher!
Very very helpful! Thank you you’re doing great with these videos. Love it!
Glad you like them!
That is so nice. Loved your narration details and relaxing voice. Real cool seeing the layers.
I enjoyed your demo. Your explanations are clear and simple. I like the way you painted the light
I am a Sumi-e painter and trying the watercolor
Technique
As a French lady I would have painted a cow in this field. I am going to try
Thank you
Beautiful and realistic sky and clouds. I am very happy with your video. 😊
What an excellent tutorial! Learned a great deal in terms of brushwork & colour mixing. I appreciate your articulate, calm and gently spoken style as well. I have subscribed.
Excellent lesson! I enjoyed very much and happy with result.
Very nice painting. Thank you for sharing !
Thanks for the great tips!
Brilliant. Thank you.
I like your descriptions as you paint
Best video I have seen in a long time! You make it look so easy .... thank you for your excellent teaching style! Fay G.
Thank you soo much, one of the best tutorial to watch, I loved it
Great sky.
I did enjoy this demonstration. Your reference photo seemed so plain and you really improved it. I've always thought those round hay bales were a nice subject. You're so good at sky.
Thank you very much!
I really like your recipe for green. I never used cobalt turquoise before ( to make green, but I will try it for sure.
I really liked this Matthew thanks!
Another good one. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Such a great tutorial, Matthew. I really like your sky technique, and also, wetting both sides before starting the first layer is a great tip. However, my paper (Arches, 140 lb, rough) buckles quite a bit when dried, after that first wash. How do you prevent that from happening to you?
Love it! Thank you for sharing
Glad you liked it!
Really enjoyed this!
Best tutorial I have seen. I love your explanations and your style of Watercolour painting. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 😊
Thank you! Very kind of you.
You make it look so easy and then I have a go haha!

Beautiful ❤️
thanks for sharing - really enjoyed🙏
Thank you for your sharing
Excellent video, thanks for posting.
Thank you!!! I really loved this one ..
Glad to hear that!
Hi Matthew. The painting turned out great! Thanks for the tutorial. My question is how long do you actually wait until the paper is totally dry after the first wash? I would like to try the method of wetting both sides of the paper to be able to work on my skies a little bit more, but I am also a bit impatient for the second wash. I noticed that it takes more time for the paper to dry when both sides are wet. Do you also suggest using a hairdryer?
Great help
I tried setting both sides of the paper the way you do and I loved it. Learning a lot from your channel. Love the painting
Thank you so much
Interesting story in this reference photo: storm clouds are coming, got to get the hay in - just if you know anything about raising hay!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I could understand really how to paint in watercolor, thank u sir, i like your painting than the original🌹
Bonjour, votre approche du ciel est intéressante et fonctionne bien Bravo
