I've been painting for 33 years. I'm 80. I've watched countless videos and taken numerous seminars and lessons, but you sir, changed everything for me and simplified a problem I've been unhappy with for years..my people drawing. Boy, what a game changer for me. Thank you so much.

John, I too, like white Ford, am an octogenarian! I’ve started watercolor painting after a 35 year absence. Boy have things changed. While exploring what my style is now, I discovered I like a loose approach. Your approach is very much like my own, but way more skilled. My problem with real media is that there is no Ctl-Z! As a long time digital artist I like the ability to step backwards and re-do. But then watercolor has a mind of it’s own that I love.

Finding your channel via Reddit may have been the highlight of my week. Love your art style, production values and clear teaching. Keep up the great work and I think you'll go far.

I love that you use “busted” brushes. I buy supplies and paint almost never. I limit myself because I always think of regular life things I should be doing. Time to get off my butt and allow myself to do the things I want to do along with the stuff I need/should do. Love your videos

My grandmothers first cousin was James Hollins Patrick. He was president of the California Watercolor Society back in the 30’s. He painted in this style and I am lucky enough to have one of his originals found in my grandparents closet. This artist reminds me of his work and I immediately subscribed!
