    Thank you for starting your channel, you are so down to earth that it makes listening to you a joy! You’re getting me back to watercolors.

    Please keep doing what you are doing - speaking to Beginners! So many watercolor tutorial YouTube channels say they're talking to beginners but they actually go so far over a true beginner's head then it's frustrating and basically unusable. Thank you for not expecting your first grade students to be in an algebra class! So appreciative.

    you are the best! I'm a beginner and this makes me feel like I'm talking to my dad or grandpa about painting. Keep doing what you're doing!

    I think a ceramic deviled egg plate works great. 😊

    I am so happy to have found you! I am 70, after I retired decided to try to learn new hobbies. I am interested in learning how to paint with watercolor. I love that you take your time explaining in such a calm, patient manner. Looking forward to watching all of your videos. Please keep them coming. Thank you for taking the time to show us step by step.

    I just discovered you this morning and I’m so glad I did! I’m taking a beginners watercolor class at Life Long Learning here in the state of Delaware. Your 3 videos that I just finished watching are really going to help me in my class. I especially liked the way you demonstrated how to paint a flower - that’s what I’m going to work on in today’s class. Thank you! Priscilla

    Really enjoying your videos.  You explain things so well and your subjects are so important but not always explained by others. Thanks

    The only palettes that don&apos;t stain are the heavy ceramic ones, or the Mijello &quot; bulletproof glass&quot; - transparent plastic, ones.<br>Plastic, enamelled metal ect, all stain. I&apos;ve no problem with staining, btw. Doesn&apos;t bother me in the slightest.

    Thank you for sharing your watercolour adventures. I am thinking about starting even with absolute zero art skills. Seeing what you did to start, seems approachable. Thank you!

    I&apos;m really enjoying your videos! Thanks for taking the time to share your experience as a lifelong learner, not afraid to just get in there and try something new. I&apos;m in a similar phase of my life and have been drawn to watercolor and drawing forever, but finally have the time and the ability to be kinder to myself as I learn. :-) &nbsp;Thanks for the great content! (And I would love a tutorial on the airplane painting over your right shoulder some time! That&apos;s so cool!)
