I love the way you greet your viewers. So genuine.

[@beatrixkogler8938]

It is so very beautiful again, like all of your paintings😍💖💫. Learned so much about layers, watching you paint🌹. Thank you dear. Heartfelt 💞greetings to your part of the world - Beatrix from Bavaria/Germany🙋‍♀

Wonderful Galaxy Night Sky, your art is very calming, and listening to your voice brings a beautifully relaxing experience. thank you for all your teachings here and on Skillshare

[@dionnescreativeodyssey]

Love this tutorial. My paper bubbles up after a short time and the water pools in pockets of the paper. I notice yours doesn’t do that. Wondering if I need to tape more than 1/4 inch of my pepper as I notice you tape more of your paper edge down

[@joannesarlo518]

Love it Kolbie!! Your explanation on how to achieve your sky was wonderful....(I think I need to learn patience too!!) thank you...

[@cherriesalero3211]

I admire your videos. I wish I found it sooner. I’ve made a couple of your videos and am very satisfied with the results. Your books and materials you use are in my Christmas wish list. Thanks Kolbie for sharing your talent.

[@donnastrohmeier8739]

Thanks for sharing. I have been painting watercolor for a little more than a year. I painted so many galaxies I kinda gave up. Just didn't quite get the effects I was going for. I do understand that layering is key. Maybe I will give this a try again. 🙏

[@caylaf174]

I havent done galaxies in a couple of years- but I remember having to look up tutorial after tutorial for months before I found one that actually made sense to me/gave me the results I wanted lol

[@maryannharrison4275]

How do you paint snowy scenes and if you have a white rabbit in white snow how do you paint to get dimension and shapes …
