  I swore to my self-taught self that I would never try painting light again, but now I think I can! Thanks so much for teaching an 80-yr-old some tricks!

  Rare combination of art, explanation and video production quality and summary at the end... No hesitation saying you &nbsp;may be one of the best tutors out there.

  The tip for using rose matter permanent as a buffer between the yellow lights and blue sky to avoid getting green in the sky is much appreciated!

  For the first time, I don’t feel tense when watching a watercolor tutorial. You don’t stress me out on the speed needed for wet on wet .. instead, it was a steady languid pace, where there’s time to mix the color that works. Thank you so much, you are a fantastic teacher.. and I’ve watched many others already 😂

  Remember the &quot;Anti-Colors&quot;. &nbsp;Red and green fight each other. &nbsp;So do yellow and purple, and orange and blue. &nbsp;If things are shifting to the wrong color, sneak in the &quot;Anti-Color&quot;.

  Absolutely beautiful painting! There is something magical about a streetlamp at night, and you captured it perfectly. Inspirational.

  I love the look of an old fashion pub scene. The warm light a few people enjoying the evening. Perhaps you could do one of those. I am from London, England so grew up to these scenes and often there were families outside running around.
