Learn to Paint! A French Pizza Cafe in Watercolor for Beginner and Intermediate level Painters. 

Such a JOY watching and learning from you!

Great finish!

I love your painting style as well as your blouses. I watch some of your videos twice or more.

U r a lovely teacher Natural Gifted Effective Tq

Your paintings always look so much more beautiful than the photos? btw it's been a pleasure to find your videos and try my hand at watercolors for the first time in my life other than a coloring book with my kids many years ago. I've always loved art but never pursued a degree in it other than elective classes in college here and there and did a speech once on Rubens work. One of my daughters has a masters degree in art and the other a BFA. My husband who is a physician has always liked my little projects and has asked me to pursue more education at my golden age of 55 as I'm always saying I wish I had formal training. He has a large capacity for art and a great deal of knowledge. I'm not up to going back to school for 4 years but I may take a class or two and certainly have enjoyed your videos. Very informative and enjoyable. The first night I tried a painting of a waterscape of yours I couldn't believe how relaxing and enjoyable it was as the thrill of going to the art store a few times for materials. What fun. I haven't set my tubes of paint yet so used children's watercolors to do my first painting and couldn't believe how well it turned out with cheap watercolors and can not even imagine what will happen with good paper and paint which I have but haven't used yet. I did use my new nice brushes which I think really helped with the lower level paint and multimedia paper I used for the first painting. I'd like to go get a nice variety of quality brushes but for now I just have two larger brushes you used in the first video I watched. If you take groups on trips to take photos of potential later work please contact me as my girls and I would love to join you in Europe or where ever you explore for new photos to work from. Sometimes group travel is more affordable than small bookings. Thanks so much. Babi, sounds like Bobbi girls are Brooke, Brittanie, Blair and son may join as well William. Wishing you and your family good health and long life.

Brilliant!

So glad I found you. Your paintings are really awesome. Please don't stop painting with watercolors!

I love the way you teach and I learn so much. Mind you , I have been painting since the sixty’s. I also have a degree in fine arts I got in so. Calif. I now live in east Texas, USA

I love watching you paint and listening to the birds 🐦

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us Shirley! Love watching and hearing the process come together in such a lovely way.

Really wonderful, thank you

Absolutely fascinating watching you pick out the details that you want to include, what you decide to leave out, and your use of color. Thank you!

So glad I stumbled upon your tutorials!!! Thank you Shirley.

Absolutely love this drawing. Amazing urban landscape!

Beautiful painting!!! Love you're tutorials

You really love painting , these videos are great and really relaxing to watch. You seem excited when you work and that must be a great feeling. Thanks for mentioning the colours you use, not all tutorials do that. You talk through the process of painting in detail, you're work is beautiful . Thanks shirley.

Shirley, love ❤️ your style of painting and you are fun to watch. You are so Relaxed when you paint. Keeps me interested.

You are extremely gifted and experienced. I watched 4 of your videos in a row and for one example, you seemed to decide to paint the brackets holding the lamps and instantly, in a blink of an eye, they were there. The people were better in your painting than in the original photograph. I have much to learn from you. Thank you!

Enjoyed watching you doing this painting...I’m picking up lots of tips...thank you.

Thank you so much for sharing - I really enjoyed watch your process & hearing your commentary. I adore watercolours, so much so that I cannot even contemplate being interested in any other medium so far...

That is a fantastic painting😍

Hi Shirley.. thanks for sharing.. like these detailed videos where you show the process.. probably you can do some with more people 😁

Thank you for the tutorials,not long found them and they’re most helpful to me as an intermediate in watercolour. I have downloaded cafe photo to try after watching your amazing loose interpretation the Cafe street scene👍👍

Lovely! Great learning experience. I have a difficulty with cityscapes.

yes

Wow so beautiful

Why on Earth I found your channel so late !

fantastic work! ive joined you!$

Love the way you paint watercolour. How do you stop your paper from buckling

Just found your videos and FB page Shirley, lovely work. I for one would love you to make a video on your sketching process. It fascinates me a lot watching you build up the sketch. Its a shame that this part is always fast forwarded as I think it would help a lot of people to master that vital part of any watercolour painting.

Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent with us. You make it look so easy! This was a great subject and your touch was perfect. (Sometimes you are very soft spoken, hard to hear.)

Brilliant yet again. It would have been useful to have the reference photo permanently on screen like some of your other demos.
