This is very helpful, thank you! 🙏

My poppies look like sunburnt octopuses

Love that you left the mistake in when perfectionism can so often get in the way of a beginner.

Just a magic ❤❤❤

Super helpful examples! I had already intuitively figured out charging but to see it demonstrated clearly i feel like unlocked something. Thank you!

Bro! They're such great techniques!! I loved the glazing and dragging techniques the most!!

Hi! thanks for tutorial, it was great! What size is the larger mop brush? I could see that the smaller one was a 2. Thanks :)

I like that you did the same flower for each example so we can really compare the style of each technique. My favorite is the glazing because it reminds me of stained glass and is the technique that made me fall in love with watercolor in the first place.

Great video! Will practice this technique as new to watercolours. Thanks 👏🏻🧑🏻‍🦰🇨🇦

I am a beginner from Thailand.

Grazie per questo video... bellissime tecniche e spiegazione chiara e precisa.

Great tutorial. I’m glad you said they take a lot of practice - onward and upward for me!

Beautiful delivery of your teaching, thank you!

This was pricele$$...Thank you !! 💚💚

Wow! Thank you so much! ❤️🌹

Oh my! Thank you so very much! This tutorial is so clear and so good!!!

Wet on wet always just looks messy to me. Dragging and charging seem to give the best results. Wet on dry looks most done.

Thank you very much for your content. I'm a real beginner and good to learn all techniques!!

Thank you so much!

Why does dragging and charging have similar steps though 😭
