As a complete beginner, who has only discovered watercolours at the age of 57 and only now because I have been making my own Christmas cards, your videos are quite wonderful. I especially find so very useful the fact that you name the colours as you work: a real insight, thank you very much indeed!
-
By far the best tutorial I’ve ever come across on mixing & applying colours! Naming the colours as you mixed & painted reflected years of practice, experimentation & observation, I’ll be watching this again, you packed in a wealth of tips, thank you
-
Thank you Andrew, a great lesson! I find it helpful to watch it a couple of times before I start and then follow along. A pleasure to watch and learn!
-
Love that you don’t follow others rules about wetting canvas and painting sky first etc!! Beautiful painting! A very informative and helpful tutorial thank you
-
"Arbitrarily, if you detect a hint of a slightly more exciting color" LOL this is my absolute favorite phrase I've ever heard in a tutorial, but it's also a great point -- if you want to paint a loose and exciting painting, you've got to be loose and exciting. It sounds so simple but having the guts to actually do it is quite a challenge.

I just found you recently. I love hoe you encourage us to change the color often, adding different tones. I think that tip alone will help my novice paintings.
-
That was such a joy to watch. You have a calming way about you, and tons of talent. Thank you for sharing your work.

Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. Yes, painting and/or drawing every day is how to improve. I have seen that advice more than a few times. I spend too much time watching videos such as yours (which I enjoy very much), and not enough time drawing and painting. It’s a form of procrastination I think, born of fear. Afraid of my efforts not being good enough.
-
Thank you, Andrew, for sharing. I really like the freshness and liveliness of your painting, which I am struggling to retain when painting. There is so much to learn from your videos!

What a nice surprise to see this on a miserable Sunday afternoon. Beautiful. Thank you Andrew, you're coming on, keep it up.

Andrew, thank you so much for letting us see the steps and hints through the entire painting. I would also like to thank the person doing your filming. It is great to see you mix the paints as well the steps when you put the paint on paper.

It’s gorgeous! You’re painting style is beautiful and fresh. Thank you for helping us all to how to how paint with watercolor correctly. Fondly, Cynthia

Such a beautiful painting! Your instruction is always so interesting!

Andrew thank you for taking us through the steps. I particularly like the idea of counterchange on an otherwise flat surface which gives variety etc.
-
Thank you for sharing your marvelous artwork with us at this pandemic time ! I have learned so much from you!

Very fresh and lively painting, especially the way you painted the sky!Thank you for your demonstration!

I'm new to water colour and have learnt so much watching you paint. Thank you for explaining as you go along, giving tips and details. So happy to have found you.

Thank you Andrew, I have learnt so much form this video. It fascinates me how you mix and change colour so quickly, I tend to end up with muddy paintings so will be taking your tips to my next subject. Only started watercolour in October and your teaching has been very welcome.

Enjoyed your demo immensely. You are most generous in sharing your knowledge and things you have learned through experience. Can’t thank you enough. I do so enjoy watching.

Thank you Andrew, some invaluable guidance there. So easy to miss it but the bird's eye of your palette and brush strokes so telling. Great stuff.
