How to Paint Water in Watercolor - Demo 

Wonderful to see the steps/layers.

Learning from you and listening to you has restored my sanity during these ridiculous times. You’re a GREAT instructor!!

This is very helpful to me in how to paint water and reflections while keeping the painting fresh and in perspectives! Thank you so much, Matt!

Thank you so much. I tried this tonight, it was an amazing tuto. I loved that you take your time and give so much details about adding more values at the bottom for instance. My painting is slightly darker than yours but it feels so satisfying once it's done.

This is MAGIC! Wow!

Omg I’m watching this on a Monday morning as I’m having coffee before work. Now all I want to do is to start that painting! Painting water and reflections on water really is a challenge for me but I’m ready to give it an other try after watching your video. I think ive learned a lot. Thank you.

Hi Matthew! This is my absolute favorite channel. I can't believe how much I've learned watching your tutorials over the last few days! I was wondering, when you start a new painting, do you add fresh paints to the pallet or rewet the dry colors? If the latter, how do you do that? Thanks! :)

This is a perfect demo. Very beautiful watercolor painting and great instruction. Your channel is going to be THE BEST! I look forward to trying this lesson. Keep them coming. Thanks.

Wow that’s beautiful and extremely helpful, thank you 😊

Thanks Matt. A very instructive and well thought out video. A pleasure to watch.

Muy bonito👍 y aprendiendo mucho gracias🤗

Hi Matt I like your style of painting. I appreciate your pace and explanations it is very helpful. The painting is simple enough for a beginner to be able to try practicing reflections. Thank you ✨🎨

I love that you are relaxed and seeing how calculated and mindful each stroke is. I need to slow down and relax. Thank you. I know you have painted with Andy Evansen. have my first workshop this summer and it’s with hm. I can’t wait do you do workouts?

Appreciate you sharing your skill and passion for watercolor with us. I've gotten a lot of benefit from your knowledge.

I’ve recently discovered your videos and they are so helpful! Thank you for being so generous with teaching.

Thank you so much! Your paintings are incredible. You are a wonderful teacher.

Valuable to watch your process. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Really great tutorial! It was helpful hearing what colors you were using later in the video, it'd be handy to have those early on or in the description. Thank you!

Thank you. Your method of teaching is so clear.

Very helpful tutorial. Thank you so much.

Thank you so much! I feel like I learned a lot ☺️

Another great tutorial. I am wondering how realistic the tree reflections in the photo are. They seem to extend a lot further down than you would expect.

This has been very helpful. I love your teaching style. Question: you often talk about “connecting.” Could you do a video about the concept of connecting shapes within a composition? I need to learn more about this. It feels important; something I am not doing currently!😯 Thanks Matthew

Matt, i like the way you are explaining amount of water and water variation needed through multiple steps of the painting, somehow it synchs with me on how to learn different techniques through your various videos, I wonder if I can share my work which I replicated through this video for the feedback! Thanks, Abhay

This video caught my eye. I'm always looking for good tips for painting water and reflections. I really enjoyed watching it. I will be painting it later this weekend. The only thing you didn't mention was the colors that you are using. Was this on purpose? I watched a few other video tutorials of your and see that you do mention the names of the colors you are using. Could you add the names of the colors you used for this video? Another thing I love about your You Tube channel is that you actually reply to questions in the comments! I really appreciate that. Thank you!

When you let your paper dry before adding the dark trees, was it completely dry? I’m wondering why it didn’t warp.
