    Beginner tip from a beginner: Seeing value can be tough when your reference is colorful. If you make a grayscale (aka black and white) copy of your reference photo, then you will have a value reference that can really help!

    Thank you so much! And I really appreciate that you just jumped into it. No three-minute introduction, no "while you're here, consider buying this." Just art. Thank you!

    Wow, I LOVE your videos. I’m a beginner to art. A disabling illness has stolen my mobility and energy, but I still enjoy so much of life. Knitting, crochet and now watercolor fill my day. You have a voice that is calming and just enough instruction to get me started.
    Absolutely the perfect tutorial to get me started! Bravo You!

    Can't wait to try all of these exercised out - been sitting on a very good tray of watercolours while I spent 9 months getting into the habits of an artist, before my Sequential Art course in two weeks - I think I'm ready to full-hog choose a colouring medium now that I've had success getting started again, and watercolour will be a BEAUTIFUL thing to learn essentially from scratch.
    I learned oil pastels in literally a week or two, so this should be much more technically proficient and challenging for me, and will suit the course better if I am to split my skills across four or more roles in making comics by hand. The sits for paint to dry will make my pipeline more patient, and the assembly aspect of watercolours theory is ideal for this

    That was helpful and interesting--thank you! I liked seeing your mixing paint, the reference photo, and your painting at the same time (fancy camera set-up!). Also, you provided great explanation of why you layer colors the way you do and switch brushes when you do. I look forward to more videos.

    This was really helpful and satisfying to watch! I've been watercoloring for many years, and need to come back to the basics every so often. I loved watching your painting process

    I save all my Talenti containers. I also think Talenti ice cream is some of the best I've ever tried.

    For the color wheel, you mention "75/25" or "50/50" of colors- how do you mix that with dry paint cakes/pallets?
