I am 75 years young. I am trying to teach myself watercolor (with your help). You have given me so many pointers, that I have not heard before. Thank you so very much😍
@valerienorman6421 My 75th birthday is this coming weekend, and I have given myself this tutorial series as a present, a challenge, something to take me into the next 25 years.
I have wanted to learn watercolor for years. At age 53, I am so glad I came across your classes. Just did challenge one and I AM HOOKED. Thank you so much for the easy to follow instructions.
As a beginner creator at 67, you've given me much to think about (and practice). What I love the most about your teaching is the confidence you give me. You continually encourage me to keep at it. Your Instagram postings are so uplifting! Thank you so much!
I love nature and want to learn to paint it. I want to learn different techniques so that I can then paint freely from my heart. I think your movies will teach me a lot.
Thanks, Kolbie, for your positivity and for reminding us to be kind to ourselves. I just began painting in April of 2023 and your videos are helping me as a beginner! THANK YOU!
I am a physical therapist in real life...you are an 'art' physical therapist! Thank you for helping your 'patients' take on challenges and be encouraged to keep trying and to appreciate the journey and the progress while looking ahead to the future with confidence and anticipation!
Hi Kolbie, I am in tears. Happy Tesrs. When you said, this is time well spent, I felt my whole soul relax. Until now, I didn’t recognize how tense I was painting. I am a beginner. I can be hard on myself to do well. Some how, your words broke through the unknowing restrictions I put upon myself. I took up watercoloring for joy. I thank you. 🙏🏼
You are such a giving and generous person Kolbie, and that makes you so special. Thank you for putting this all together. I really enjoy watching you teach and learning new techniques. Im excited to go along these next 10 days with everyone!! ❤❤
I am a 55 year old therapist that LOVES your newly found channel via Kristy Rice. I received your step by step Wilderness book in the other day. I gathered my supplies and now I’m ready to follow your book step by step. Suggestion: Can you post on the screen the current color you are using at the moment? Only if possible and not too much trouble. The things I enjoy about your channel… 5:34 you express yourself in a very real and personable way. You are open about your moments of doubt and how you move through them. Also, your projects seem doable. I understand that even if I copy your steps, my project will look different. And, if at any moment I start doubting myself, I will remind myself that my reason for painting is for self care and relaxation. I have an incredible career in the Mental Health field and in order for me to stay healthy, I paint. At the end of the day… I know I will feel satisfied with whatever mark I make of my paper. Thank you for the time you give to your channel and therefore to our community. Best wishes.
Finally a very helpful channel for water painting landscapes! I'm 57 and an absolute beginner. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! I'm looking forward to lesson 2!
I put being an artist on the back burner while I raised a family, worked a 9 to 5 and just did life. Now in my sixties I'm back painting and selling my art work. Watercolor has always been a favorite of mine but I mainly sketch with it and create a painting in acrylic (impasto/palette knife style). Now I am inspired to use these techniques and develop it into my paintings in my art business. You've reminded me that "perfection" isn't a thing and the fun & playfulness of watercolor is what brings out the joy in painting. Thanks!
I really enjoy your teaching style! And at the end, the Loved and Learned. What a great way to leave negativity out of the picture 😁 We are all on a journey
I am in heaven!!! First I bought your gorgeous book that I adore and now I found your channel. I have learned more from you in one video than all the thousands of videos I've watched. I hope your channel explodes because you are awesome!
Okay, 2 major things. Even after painting watercolor for 2 years or so, watching plenty of tutorials, etc., I never saw anyone go in and paint with water on a wet in wet painting. It worked beautifully for me on this sky. Also, I always wondered why my splatters didn't do what I want: usually splatters too big, etc. I never thought to use a size 2 brush for them. Perfect. Thank you, Kolbie, I learned a lot with just this one video.
I love that you explained WHY you are using a certain technique, which makes it easier to understand how to follow your instructions. You're an excellent teacher!
This video landed in my inbox at 6am California time and as part of my waking up routine I decided to come downstairs to my art table and try my hand at this piece before I logged into work. This was a wonderful way to engage my creativity at the start of a new work week. Thank you for this challenge, I'm SO excited to see where we go next.
Im thrilled that I discovered you! I love your excitement about seeing the world, about becoming a creator. Your manner is calming and you teach with reassuring clarity and compassion. Thank you!
So many things that I loved; how easy/doable you made it look, your watercolor journal, your binder clips, and of course splatter stars! Things I learned; "scumbling" such a cool concept, simple really can be beautiful and patience to let my layers dry!
I love how you champion us- I came from Skillshare and I follow you on socials. I love how you champion us when we are not our 100% self. Whenever I am having a mental health check-in, an imposter syndrome moment… I go to your socials and do your mini tutorials. But equally, I find a pure meditative joy in your 10 workshops. What is art if not an imitation of life… a metaphor for it. I’ve learnt not to judge my art if I feel my art didn’t as well as planned…likewise I’ve learnt not to be too hard on my self… if things I planned didn’t end the way I thought they would. Thank you for sharing your art, an insight into your beautiful soul and thank you for telling us nay showing us to celebrate it all 🫶🏻
I didn’t think I could paint especially with watercolors, but thanks to your easy to follow tutorials, I have realized that I actually can. Thank you! I’m only on day 4 of the challenge but I am loving the process as well as the results!
I like how this tutorial stands alone, but also references your book too! Thank you for making the first lesson so friendly--a sign of good things to come these next 9 days :)
Dear Kolbie, I love this challenge, the way you explain everything and the atmosphere you create. You are inspiring person. Thank you for this wonderfull lessons!
Finding you has been a Godsend! I have been wanting to learn watercorlors for a while now and you are by far the best and easiest to learn from. Also, I want to be able to go outside and roughly paint what I see in nature so your lessons are great for a beginner like me. Thank you for being willing to share your knowledge with us all. ❤
What a fun tutorial. Thanks for sharing. And i love the way you finished your video by challenging ourselves to recognize the skills that we just learn and give ourselves a little love
Thank you for your generosity in sharing this great video as part of Painting The Wilderness. As a beginner and at 72 years old,, this is something I can give a try and hopefully might turn out something like yours My mind is a sponge and wanting to soak up as much information as I can..Looking forward to this course and what you have to offer for us to learn.
Watercolor is out of my comfort zone but I am excited to learn. I'm a detail person and my pieces tend to have lots of crisp details. Loved this piece.
Yes!!! I finally can sit down and watch the videos!!! I was hoping to start on the 27th ,but power has been off and on since then here in Puerto Rico. Thank you so much for taking time to do the videos!!! Can't wait to share the progress!!!
Thank you for this fun tutorial! Night skies are some of my favorite things to paint... I learned that scumbling is a thing... I've been doing it, but didn't know it had a name! Ha! Looking forward to the rest of the series.
Thank you for being so articulate and remembering to explain the techniques that are probably second nature to you but very new to me, i.e. scumbling..
Just love watching you paint these & as a beginner been “practicing” doing skies like these. Until saw your video mine looked to light as didn’t go back second time & water colors dry lighter & doing those trees “random blobs” still trying to get that look but having such fun. Tysvm for sharing these as never went to art school & at my age (must learn) this way!
I really appreciate the way you talk so much about getting down on yourself and turning it into something good/learning experience. This is EXACTLY what will help me to KEEP GOING and KEEP PAINTING instead of comparing myself and my art to others. LOVE this!!!
Finally!! My galaxy is stunning! THANK You. All the other tutorials out there just didn't explain the colors properly and my galaxies were awful, I threw them out each time. I chose random bright colors, but it never worked out. But listening to you about using colours next to each other on the color wheel really helped! Now I'm proud of my work :)
I am so happy I found you! What a wonderful teaching style you have. I am learning and growing in my watercolor practice and I especially love the tips and techniques you share.
I truly enjoyed your teaching style. I enjoy these challenges it brings the excitement of starting fresh and doing something new, presented through your eyes. Thank you for sharing your passion.
Hi Kolbie- thank you for these tutorials. It took me 3 times to finish one that I liked. I tried different paper and it was much better. My end result had a few loved and learned items. I loved the colors and learned that scrumbling was hard.
Thank you, Kolbie. After painting for 1 1/2 years, I still struggle with, well, everything. Your tutorial is very accessible and I can't wait to try it. One thing that had the strongest impact on me was your inclusion of the LOVED and LEARNED reflection process. I think that will help me immensely! Thanks again!
Love this! I have wanted to learn how to do watercolors for a long time. Looking forward to this challenge and the Sea Scape challenge also. As a photographer (real estate, nature and pets) I am excited about being creative in a different way, and may even attempt some watercolors using my favorite photos as inspiration. Thank you, Kolbie!
I am an a beginner for sure 😆 I have always taken photos of beautiful landscapes but didn’t have the confidence to try and paint them. Thank you sooo much for giving us a FREE 10 days course. I can’t wait to see some personal progress and learning 🥰✨🎨🏔
I adore your landscape style and I'm SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT 10 DAYS! Thanks for all your tips! It's so nice to hear your encouragement. I have all the best supplies and very little practice because of my need to "do it right" and the fear that I won't. You've helped me actually get my Neptune brushes wet and just let go❤
Loved it. I love how you do fairly simple paintings (well it is beginners!) because I tend ttry and do too much too soon and all in one painting, and that rarely works. You remember what it is like to be a beginner with watercolor and that is so helpful.
I just found your 10 day series!! and completed #1. Your explanations are very clear and I loved learning how to do the different layers! I actually had to use more water than I'd been using and It turned out beautifully!!! I'm 75, thus came youtube videos... I'm anxious to continue, thank you!
I really like how you take a more natural approach to watercolors versus “precision” painting. It helps the emotion come through! Can’t wait to try this one tmrw!
Beautiful night sky! I thought I wasn't going to like the scumbled trees until you added the pointy bits at the edges and then it all came together and came out looking amazing!
I'm so excited for this challenge. Watercolor has always been the medium closest to my heart but also the medium I've struggled the most with. Looking forward to getting back on the art wagon with this challange!
Thanks for sharing this 10-day watercolor challenge! I'm not sure I'll be able to follow along this week, but it's definitely something I want to learn! I love the last part about writing down what I loved and learned. I think it's something I would love to incorporate not just in this challenge but in my other paintings!
Enjoyed this presentation very much. Looking forward to watching many more. I have been painting for several years with alcohol ink and I'm ready to try watercolor. You make it look so easy!
Kolbie, I have been waiting for instructions of this caliber on TH-cam. You take the time to show me and others step by step and that’s important. You use language that we are going to understand. Thank you for your patience, it’s greatly appreciated! ❤️
Wow! Just...WOW! This is my first visit to your channel but not my last. I've been wanting to watercolor but have been so overwhelmed. Your videos are easy to understand and your voice is so kind sounding that I feel I can do it too. I know it will take practice, but I loved your 'Loved' and 'Learned' part at the end. I'm going to try this! Oh, and I subscribed to your channel!
That was so much fun. What a great idea to look at your painting and appreciate the things you liked about it and to look at the things you didn't like in a more constructive manner. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
It's been over a year since I've painted well tried painting watercolor and thought taking your challenge would get me back into this part of my life that I want to improve. I am still struggling with water control.
Omg you make this look so easy, I cannot wait to try it myself! And now I need a watercolor journal, I just realized how fun it would be to keep notes like you do to look back on later.
Awesome start to the 10 day challenge! Can't wait to get home and try this one! Loved the part about making notes at the end about what you loved and learned. What a great opportunity to reflect and grow! Thanks and can't wait for the next videos!
Wow Kolbie the way you have explained the process of this painting is really very good for beginners ❤ thankyou so much for this lovely tutorial. Can't wait to try it and yeah I learned a new technique from this video "scumbling". Definitely trying this one❤
I loved how you painted the night sky. I have been learning for some time how to photograph the Milky Way and hope to be able to paint it realistically some day.
Just painted this one, and I am so happy with the results!! It’s funny that, in the beginning, it looks like everything will go wrong… but as the watercolor dries, the result is just magical!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Love the way you teach, very calm and clear.
I am 75 years young. I am trying to teach myself watercolor (with your help). You have given me so many pointers, that I have not heard before. Thank you so very much😍

I like what you did with the gouache on the first coat as the painting was still wet. Giving more depth to the stars in the end.

Wish I had more control of my brush!😆

Love starting the morning with art! 😍
Hi could you pls tell me the name of the sketchbook tks a lot
I really love the look of these night skies and they are so fun to do. It's easy but also everytime I do one I learn something new. Thanks Kolbie
Kolbie, you are a great teacher. Thank you for offering this video. Very generous of you. I can't wait to try this!
I have started your course to prompting me to start painting using watercolour again after a long break. I love your teaching style.
I think its very encouraging when you write your loved/learnd stuff insted of failure.... you can see how you grow! thank you!!!
Im thrilled that I discovered you! I love your excitement about seeing the world, about becoming a creator. Your manner is calming and you teach with reassuring clarity and compassion. Thank you!
So many things that I loved; how easy/doable you made it look, your watercolor journal, your binder clips, and of course splatter stars! Things I learned; "scumbling" such a cool concept, simple really can be beautiful and patience to let my layers dry!

I am a beginner still after four years. What I know is being nuanced by your challenge. Thank you for this. You are gifting me with skills I adore.
I like how this tutorial stands alone, but also references your book too! Thank you for making the first lesson so friendly--a sign of good things to come these next 9 days :)
I love the depth and light of the blue and white shinning through.
Dear Kolbie, I love this challenge, the way you explain everything and the atmosphere you create. You are inspiring person. Thank you for this wonderfull lessons!
Love this night sky and your really positive attitude and spirit.
Love that we can make something so beautiful with just a few colors. Thanks!

Kolbie, you made this so much fun! I love your art journal idea. As a beginner, I am looking forward to growing my skills. Thanks!
Thank you for sharing your expertise. Loved the Night Sky. Will surely follow all 10 days.
I know I Can and I will.
This is great - thank you so much! I love the reminder to be intentionally mindful of what I "loved" and "learned" at the end.
Hi Kolbie- thank you for these tutorials. It took me 3 times to finish one that I liked. I tried different paper and it was much better. My end result had a few loved and learned items. I loved the colors and learned that scrumbling was hard.

I adore your landscape style and I'm SO LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT 10 DAYS! Thanks for all your tips! It's so nice to hear your encouragement. I have all the best supplies and very little practice because of my need to "do it right" and the fear that I won't. You've helped me actually get my Neptune brushes wet and just let go❤

I loved how positive you are, and the painting is beautiful.
This was a wonderful exercise! I’ve done some sky paintings but I have never done scumbling! Going to give it a try!
Love the final result - the blend between the blue and payne's grey is lovely!
You are giving magic to all of us! Thank you Kolbie!
Beautiful ❤ and shooting stars do not shoot straight, so yours is perfect.
Beautiful night sky! I thought I wasn't going to like the scumbled trees until you added the pointy bits at the edges and then it all came together and came out looking amazing!
Just watched through and will watch again when I paint! Can't wait. Thank you
Love this! I'm taking your wilderness 10 day challenge class and I've always wanted to do a night sky. Thanks!
Thanks for the step-by-step instruction, encouragement, and inspiration, Kolbie. You are the best!
I'm so excited for this challenge. Watercolor has always been the medium closest to my heart but also the medium I've struggled the most with. Looking forward to getting back on the art wagon with this challange!
Can't wait to try this. You're such a great teacher....thank you for sharing your talent!
Thanks for sharing this 10-day watercolor challenge! I'm not sure I'll be able to follow along this week, but it's definitely something I want to learn! I love the last part about writing down what I loved and learned. I think it's something I would love to incorporate not just in this challenge but in my other paintings!
Enjoyed this presentation very much. Looking forward to watching many more. I have been painting for several years with alcohol ink and I'm ready to try watercolor. You make it look so easy!
Kolbie, I have been waiting for instructions of this caliber on TH-cam. You take the time to show me and others step by step and that’s important. You use language that we are going to understand. Thank you for your patience, it’s greatly appreciated! ❤️
Wow! Just...WOW! This is my first visit to your channel but not my last. I've been wanting to watercolor but have been so overwhelmed. Your videos are easy to understand and your voice is so kind sounding that I feel I can do it too. I know it will take practice, but I loved your 'Loved' and 'Learned' part at the end. I'm going to try this! Oh, and I subscribed to your channel!
Thank you for making this painting so simply explained. Quick & loose painting is harder for me than detail painting.
That was so much fun. What a great idea to look at your painting and appreciate the things you liked about it and to look at the things you didn't like in a more constructive manner. Thank you for taking the time to do this.
I love painting with blues! Can't wait to try this project
Loved this tutorial so much! The addition of a voice over with explanations makes it so much more easy to follow.
It's been over a year since I've painted well tried painting watercolor and thought taking your challenge would get me back into this part of my life that I want to improve. I am still struggling with water control.
Omg you make this look so easy, I cannot wait to try it myself! And now I need a watercolor journal, I just realized how fun it would be to keep notes like you do to look back on later.
A great day 1 painting! Can’t wait to start!
Awesome start to the 10 day challenge! Can't wait to get home and try this one! Loved the part about making notes at the end about what you loved and learned. What a great opportunity to reflect and grow! Thanks and can't wait for the next videos!
two attemps of the night sky. and for a beginner.....it is oke. thanks for teaching so mindful on emotions during painting.
Wow Kolbie the way you have explained the process of this painting is really very good for beginners ❤ thankyou so much for this lovely tutorial. Can't wait to try it and yeah I learned a new technique from this video "scumbling". Definitely trying this one❤
Loved the "scumbling" technique. Thank you for this lesson.
Hi Kolbie, chiming in late. Painted the night sky 3 times yesterday. Thanks so much for opening up all these techniques!! Ana E
I loved how you painted the night sky. I have been learning for some time how to photograph the Milky Way and hope to be able to paint it realistically some day.
Just painted this one, and I am so happy with the results!! It’s funny that, in the beginning, it looks like everything will go wrong… but as the watercolor dries, the result is just magical!! Thank you so much for sharing this. Love the way you teach, very calm and clear.
What a fun lesson. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you for sharing your positivity and talents with us.
Kolbe you make it look so easy! I wanted to watch before I tried, now I’m going to work on NOT being a perfectionist and see what I come up with!
So fun to be opening the package the book is in while watching!
I didn't know what to expect but something so simple came out so wonderful. Now I'll have to give it a shot. Thanks!
