This lesson has pointed out the fact that I rush my painting most of the time! I really need to slow down and pay attention to more details and not be concerned with reaching the finish line. I am new to water coloring and after watching a number of artists via RU-vid, I have become a huge fan of yours!! Until I actually take a water coloring class, I am pleased to see the progress I have made since taking many of your lessons to my paper ( I’m still using my wastebasket, but not as much🙄). Thank you!

@ratnaroychoudhury1220 Год назад

I agree 👍 Sometimes happens with me too Too much of a rush to reach finish line😀

@cathyhaase1550 2 года назад

I am so delighted you are doing glazing. I never liked my watercolour flowers and switch to water mixable oils to get that sparkling. Now I will enjoy watercolours again. Thank you for teaching this.

@ashleyevans3330 2 года назад

No matter the age of your videos the knowledge is still new! I very much enjoy them! Thank you!

@ratnaroychoudhury1220 Год назад

Beautiful colour glazing.Thank you for sharing techniques.

@duke2011ful Год назад

I am drinking up all the fundamental ways of watercoloring from you. I’m so new everything you’ve talked about resonates with me and my low degree of watercolor knowledge. Thank you!

@alisonhendry2928 5 лет назад

Fabulous glazing teaching technique again. You talk just enough and are silent without feeling like you must fill every second of the video. I love how you make these videos. You are much appreciated!

@marylemley5194 Год назад

Ohhhmy!!! Just as I'm finishing a plum blossom, I'm finding this great video literally answering my many questions!!!!!!! YT TV doesn't show same pc vids. Best teacher I've seen yet!!!!!! Just amazing, thank you!!!!! Must start over, lolol!!!

@maggieb523 7 лет назад

Your tutorials are great. The camera work is perfect so all the details are clear. Your comments are so helpful to me also. When watching other videos I quite often wonder why the artist did something but you explain what you're doing and why. That makes the learning process much easier and more fun for me. Thank you for all the help!!

@NatPaintThat 4 года назад

Maggie B yes, it’s so good

@violinzeta 11 месяцев назад

Yes, thank you for sharing your sound advice in these videos, Steve! I’m always inspired by the decades of brush mileage you clearly have!

@amnamohamed1253 5 лет назад

People look at a painting and those who don’t know about the process, can never guess how many patient hours of work it takes to paint something as beautiful as this. Every single detail must be painted in. Every tone, every nuance of shade, every value takes time and patience and what I refer to as the “eye” must take constant rest and come back with a clearer view. Thank you for sharing.

@halfpiint Год назад

"the “eye” must take constant rest and come back with a clearer view. " So very true, and yet it's *NEVER* the first thing you learn.🤣🤣🤣

@nursdurkin 4 года назад

You make it look so easy!!! NOT easy! I love your videos!

@MalinaJay 6 лет назад

Usually people who are as talented as you usually begin to draw at a young age. I can't draw everything, but have found that flowers are easier for me to draw. I have always loved the look and softness of water colors. Thank you for replying so quickly. I appreciate it greatly.

@mindofwatercolor 6 лет назад

Flowers are a good beginner subject (and for advanced too). An easy and forgiving subjects to draw and paint.

Being a colored pencil artist, and now learning watercolor, this makes so much sense! Love your channel. Thank you so much!

@plants53 6 лет назад

I just love watching your videos but this one in particular is so informative at being able to actually see you do these minute brush strokes and explaining each step. Thank you from a beginner.

@sandraflieger6001 4 года назад

Your sharing of your thought process makes you my favorite instructor to watch.

@maxinebaskerville6020 5 лет назад

I agree with the comments saying how well you TEACH. I've been watching Many tutorials and you are the BEST. Thank you for helping me in my quest to learn how to paint in water color. Say Hey to Reese! Your humor is Great too!!

@brillyintt 5 лет назад

This and your video about how to get color on the brush...OMGosh...after watching hundreds ...no exaggeration...hundreds of videos I could never figure out correct water to paint amounts...kept dipping in water...and never knew what to do after my first washes of color...THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! I’m beginning to make real progress.

@alisonhendry2928 5 лет назад

I agree! That video about water control and NOT dipping in changed everything! And the dip on the rag. Something so simple yet never explained like you do Steve. Others often assume we just KNOW.. as it is habit with an expert. Control of that water, one if the secrets.

@kellimichelle007 7 лет назад

I love the way you talk through your thought process as you are painting. It helps to expand my mind into the mind of the watercolor

"Art exists because life is not enough..." - Gullar, Ferreira. Steve, it is so interesting that, after I got back to painting, after 15 years away from brushes, I started to see nature in a different way. Colors, patterns, beauty... Life is so beautiful right now. No more TV, only books, moments painting, wine, music... I just became a great fan of yours, man.

@mindofwatercolor 6 лет назад

@jeansuplick4730 10 месяцев назад

What a great video. I'm coming to this many years after you made it, but this video is timeless. Thank you for making it. It's helping me take my painting up a notch, having seen in detail how you work on botanicals. Thank you!

@Juhani139 7 лет назад

A beautiful composition, Steve! I love it. Inspiring as always. Every time someone asks me where I learned to paint with watercolour (or for tips) I send 'em over to your channel. Clear and thorough advice, good camera work, soothing voice and an introductory jingle that my toddler loves. Keep on sharing your art with us.

@kathrynholden4223 7 лет назад

A super-newbie here with no art background but I am so inspired and awed by your work! Thank you for showing a real application for glazing and keep up the fantastic work.

@onthehill3381 5 лет назад

I have to say I’m really enjoying your tutorials. I just recently started watercolour painting (I’m just over 50) and your videos are truly helpful and your teaching is a pleasure to watch. I’ve watched so many videos and I have to say yours are top! Thank you from a “beginner”.

@Sunandshine1234 6 лет назад

It is so useful that you explain your thought processes while you paint , perfect for me as it helps to understand using the brush and value of paint on the brush while you work , I thank you 🙏

@annewatman677 5 лет назад

This is what attracts me to watercolor. I love the glazing and detail, and I’m happy to take my time. I have a partially finished floral painting that is ready for this part. It’s helpful to see you work in some very small areas.

@simpleliving-bulgaria4787 7 лет назад

Love your videos, love your channel. Thank you Steve

@benfazio3233 5 лет назад

You're my go to man. I like the way you think before you talk and then actually do what you have just explained. I have learnt to listen carefully to ALL your explainations and watch how you execute the skills in your paintings. I have even mastered some of them myself. Thankyou.

@Chichirinoda 7 лет назад

Voicing your thought process is really helpful and interesting. I always want to hear the thought process of the artists that I admire.

@gwenharrison6752 3 года назад

Love your stuff Steve. It's so motivating.

@gillianbc 4 года назад

This was really helpful for me. Hearing your thought process as you're making decisions on individual areas is really useful. I'm often pleased with my initial washes and then end up with things looking heavy and overworked after the next step - especially the leaves.

@shenahicks140 7 лет назад

@cellcell83 6 лет назад

Amazing video! Love your work! Thank you so much for going through your thought process with us while painting! When I was watching other people’s tutorials, I often wondered why they did this and that. This video is extremely helpful and informative! I enjoyed every second of it! Thanks again!

@beads2yarn 7 лет назад

So beautiful. I really like Botanical art and this one is a beauty. Thanks for sharing

@BeverlyBaxley 7 лет назад

You have a very patient style It's as if you can see the finished painting stripped back to layers in your mind. Beautifully demonstrated I'll have to watch this a bunch

@kirstynewbery8012 3 года назад

Hi Steve, thank you so much, this session was inspirational, I've just done a 2 day workshop on botanical art and found it most fascinating and very challenging. but you've reminded me that it's all about the basic techniques that we re-apply to each situation. I feel more able to continue now. I was feeling a bit inadequate!

@Mumu_UwU 7 лет назад

I loooove this!! Thanks for showing us the process, when I begun with watercolor I used to do it all at once, never used layers because I was too afraid to spoil it all! I tried to do everything at first wash 🙉🙉 I've been doing it for ages like that, since 2004!! I'm still scared to spoil my contests but I'm trying to glaze more to achieve better results lately, hope one day I may be able to show you my work, thanks again SO much for your channel, I'm learning so much from you 😊😊⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🦋

@Lousysalsero 4 года назад

@halfpiint Год назад

Thank you for explaining the phases of your paintings. Hearing you've worked on the painting for weeks did my heart good. I'm a newbie & felt I was missing something because it takes me a week or more to do flowers. I even bought a tiny inexpensive blow dryer to dry between layers so I wouldn't mess up my work by not waiting for it to dry and that helped a bit, but I still want to rush to the next step. I've finally realized watercolor is different than colored pencils and I need to relax and do one thing at a time or one layer at a time as I learn. I'm trying to walk away to help me slow down. Figuring out in what order to learn has been the most frustrating. Currently, as I come up with an idea I search your videos . Today, I wanted to do a splatter background on a painting of a pink flower so I searched for & watched your splatter video and that's what I'll practice. Then I saw the thumbnail of this light pink flower and here I am, learning. I'm reminding myself it's an opportunity to keep practicing water control and using my brushes. Again, Steve, thank you so much for your patient & thorough presentations. ❤🧡💛

@jeanmiller5120 6 лет назад

You explain what you're doing very clearly. I think I may try some flowers. Thank you.

@waymire01 3 года назад

Regarding the petal with the chunky violet/orange first layer... I've been doing the "unifying wash" completely out of desperation lol, and I thought I was doing something wrong. Everyone says "light to dark".. but as a beginner it's sooo much easier to put down a light, go in with a dark (or pop of bright color), then put a medium over the top to blend the two. Everything just looks so much smoother and more consistent, like the color is in the surface instead of just on top.

@mindofwatercolor 3 года назад

Your approach is just fine and is still considered light to dark because every layer, regardless of value, makes it darker. You start light and build up to dark. There are no highlight layers added later making it lighter unless you use opaque paint.

@janicec5410 7 лет назад

This is one of the best videos I have seen on applying the glazing technique. I like how you explain why and how you are doing each step. I would love to do a step by step workshop on this painting because i am learning to paint botanicals and this is the technique I really want to master. Thanks.

@mindofwatercolor 7 лет назад

+Janice C I'm working on that stay tuned.

@rmuller366 3 года назад

Thank you Steve for a great follow up lesson on glazing. I’ve been trying this a lot on my current piece and very happy with the results. I do find that glazing does dry pretty quickly which I’m loving. But as with all things watercolor, timing is everything. I prefer to work more slowly over slapping paint down and calling a piece done. Many can do this with good results, but it’s just not for me. I’m finally getting a grip on the style I prefer to paint in and doing it steady and slow makes all the difference. Blessings to you!

@NatPaintThat 4 года назад

Really delicate and pretty

@DeniseBrooks1955 7 лет назад

GREAT video - thanks Steve.

@wanttolearnreidy4469 6 лет назад

Wow episode 2 on Botanicals was just great. You can learn so much by just watching and taking in the steps as they appear before your eyes. So delicate. Great glazing demo. Keep up the good work Steve. You certainly had a vast audience this time around......keep the demos coming as you are assisting so many people. Cheers Lorraine. :)

@mindofwatercolor 6 лет назад

You bet! Thanks Lorraine!
