    Those 2 trees really did something to finish the composition. Its that inspiration that I'm not sure practice will give me. Thanks Steve

    Love that the videos are there for a reference, even years later. Thanks Steve

    Another great example of you demonstrating control of the paper, moisture, timing and brush strokes as you apply well chosen colors. Seeing how you then watch the colors settle into the fibers until the right dampness allow brush strokes that remain, creating the suggestions of foliage parts by steering color & lifting space & mist. Much of the foreground appears to have been slowly brush-drawn with layers of round, liner & rigger strokes. It's always informative & inspirational to watch you work.

    I’m relatively new to watercolor and newer still to Mind of Watercolor. I can’t do what you do but you give me lots of ideas to try out, to try again and to try yet again. Thank you. You are a blessing!
  • This is the fourth of your videos that I have watched today- a lazy at home day. They are relaxed, informative and well described. They make me feel like I could be happy painting with any of your techniques. Thank you.

    I find I want to paint in all medians. The learning knowledge from you is concise and enjoyable. I find waters less forgiving so I try to soak up every edition. Thank you and God Bless

    Just begging my water colour journey. I am an amateur doodle person. I live on a boat in the Pacific northwest Canada. Looking forward to trying this. I've seen dozens of videos. You are my FAVORITE 👍💖

    Steve, I thank you for sharing your beautiful instruction videos. I find them absolutely meditative.
  • @jendesign5537
    I just love watching your videos so much. I haven’t painted in a long while but you have inspired me to get going again. Thank you!
  • Hi Steve, thank you for making "fog" simple... Always enjoy watching your videos. Beautiful picture!
  • @paulapost8004
    Beautiful video! I gave it a try and was able to create some of the misty effect. I need much more practice to get the trees to be more naturally blended in. But as you say "just keep painting"! Your videos are so encouraging. I will keep trying this with a couple of my own photos, but thank you for helping me to get a start with creating mist/fog in my paintings!
