Excellent training presentation techniques.... review/recap, talk new idea, SHOW new idea, recap idea. As well as excellent information on subject matter.👍👍👍👍
I’ll need to watch this a few times but what a lot of useful information pulled together in a way that I can use. You break a complex topic down into an understandable format Tom, and that’s the essence of a good teacher. Thank you.

Many thanks Tom for this special video which is making the process logical and easy to understand. Now it starts to make sense for me I felt lost for some time and I was looking for an a explanation that help me to continue to make progress in my painting. Your graphic representation of each tonal value and structure of painting are fantastic !!! Thank you very, VERY MUCH for this lesson.
This style of watercolour painting is exactly what I've been working towards. It's so helpful to have a master painter like yourself teaching and guiding me toward my own distinct style. Simplifying everything down to it's essential elements is the key to deep learning. Thank you!!!
Hi Anne...thanks for a great comment. So pleased it is really helping you! ..and I totally agree, the more simple we can make things the better, and we can really focus on pushing our own style forward out of that!!:)
Your painting is very attractive, the bird itself is very beautiful, but your watercolor skills are even more amazing, you are still a very good teacher, speak very well, thank you for sharing!
Really love the content you're putting out. So I figured I'll just watch ur playlist "Watercolor bites" completely (this is 3rd in the playlist), only to find out this is actually Ep. 7. My guess is lessons 1-5 are further down, but there is no ep. 6? Perhaps you could order the playlist more logically for avid viewers like me to go through all of them. Would be great.. Anywho, keep it up, huge fan!
Thank you for the kind words! Appreciate the support. I’ll definitely sort that out, not sure what I’ve done there!! Thanks for the pointer. Kind Regards, T
I appreciate you showing us the notes from what you are saying since I learn mostly from graphs and pictures rather than the spoken words. I just now found you from Lyron's interview. So excited to continue to learn watercolor from you! Thank you
Hi Tom love your style .....I’m just a learner so following your videos with great interest... Have just finished a kingfisher ....bit muddy but ok ..Do you think you could do an owl in that loose style please.
THANK YOU so much for putting this video together in a way which is easy to digest. I have always wondered how you just capture those light and dark areas with such precision! Now I just need some time to practise haha.
Hi Chris, I don’t, no. It’s not a technique I have ever explored to be honest. However, if you’re finding your washes drying very quickly and you’re not getting time to work wet into wet as much as you’d like. I think it would be well worth exploring! T
Excellent tutorial, thanks Tom. I've never seen this animated whiteboard style of instructional video before. Is that your actual hand, and what software is involved?
Thanks Peter. You may have seen the earlier videos where I physically wrote things out and sped it up? My handwriting bud so bad plus I made so many mistakes I switched to using a program call VideoScribe...I love it, but not my hand...you can choose different hands and pens, ha!!...apparently a large study found people absorb and retain information significantly better when presented visually like this. ...T
Excellent training presentation techniques.... review/recap, talk new idea, SHOW new idea, recap idea. As well as excellent information on subject matter.👍👍👍👍
Thanks so much!! So pleased it’s making sense and we’ll received. I appreciate the support. 🙌🏼 T
This video explains much better than my art teacher lol. Thanks for the quality video!
This is just great. I have never seen a better explaination breaking down the complex task into an easy to understand process. Thanks a lot Tom!!!
Thank you so much. OS pleased it makes sense and is easy to follow, and useful!! Kind regards, T

Very helpful…. Not sure how paint pictures in colors but looks great! I would love do giraffe with colors behind him. 😊
Thank you! Colours, specially bright and strong ones can throw us off. A giraffe would work very well I think :)
Tom! tiny comment -- I really enjoy the little visual jokes you use: the clapping hands, the tiny trumpets, monocle gentleman, etc. :-)
Hahaha thank you!! Appreciate that ...didn’t know if they were just a bit stupid!!😅
So jam packed with information. I feel like I can really learn from this video and will definitely watch it again! Thank you.

Thanks, Tom! Great that you’ve made a step by step explanation, it makes it less overwhelming to start a painting.
So glad it helps, and makes the process much less daunting!!:)
Thanks so much for this series, Tom. You explain these fundamental ideas in an amazingly engaging and clear way, and we are all grateful!
Your painting is very attractive, the bird itself is very beautiful, but your watercolor skills are even more amazing, you are still a very good teacher, speak very well, thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much for such a lovely comment and kind words. So glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support!!! T

Thanks Tom. It’s always a pleasure to see your process and the freedom with which you use strokes and bold colours.

@@tomshepherdartist erm.. also why is "Beyond Belief: Enlightened Magic with Jason Louv" in there?! ;)
I appreciate you showing us the notes from what you are saying since I learn mostly from graphs and pictures rather than the spoken words. I just now found you from Lyron's interview. So excited to continue to learn watercolor from you! Thank you

Hi Tom love your style .....I’m just a learner so following your videos with great interest...
Have just finished a kingfisher ....bit muddy but ok ..Do you think you could do an owl in that loose style please.
Hi Chris, great to hear! Yes, of course. There’s a couple on the list all ready, so keep an eye fir those over next couple of months.
T
Thank you!! This was great! I have a much better concept of it all, watching you!
That’s great to hear, thanks so much for the comment. T

Amazingly helpful video, thank you so much. And lovely painting, those colours! Beautiful :)
thanks so much!:)...and so pleased it was useful. Many thanks, T
Can you please tell which app used to edit the video where u draw the shapes and images like sun and bulb
Tom do you dampen down your paper before laying the paint as you don’t seem to show it in your videos
Hi Chris, I don’t, no. It’s not a technique I have ever explored to be honest. However, if you’re finding your washes drying very quickly and you’re not getting time to work wet into wet as much as you’d like. I think it would be well worth exploring! T
Thanks for sharing these videos, I am finding them very helpful as a beginning watercolorist!
My pleasure!!! I’m so pleased you’re enjoying them and getting something from them:) thanks your support! T

Don’t try for perfection, what a freeing tip
Great video, but felt a tad bit overwhelmed with all that information.
Thank you! Yes, there was a lot to take in!!!
