      try out ohuhu, 48 piece tube set is like 18 bucks. also if you like, I've been fond of a 15 buck set over in walmart craft section, its a travel pan style with a water brush, they are actually rather decent, and the brush is actually pretty darn good for a water brush, I like it as I can take it with me to work and paint on my lunch.

    I used to do art since very very young age. I quit and regret that since focusing on something else and abandoning what I love wasnt the right thing to do. I started again some months ago refreshing all that I learned looking for some relief to my depression and severe anxiety problems. I wanted so bad to do watercolor but didnt knw where to start. I found your video and it helped me so much. Ive been trying still quite a mes ha ha ha but Ill keep trying. Im a mother of 8, I always find my time and space to do art since its what helps me control my anxiety.

It's difficult some times to find inspiration when I'm going through hard times, I lost my puppy and I wasn't able to do anything until like two days ago and even so I find myself with everything ready to start art and somehow I space breaking apart again....

      I relate to this very much! Over the years I started detaching to my old hobbies due to the depression but now I'm trying to get back to it. I'm very depressed and anxious these days. I stopped crying when I started swatching my new watercolour 😂 I guess I'm off to a good start. saved me from a bad breakdown. I hope it gets better for us ^ω^

    So, I never comment on TH-cam videos, but I’m so excited. I’ve always wanted to do watercolor painting but I’m not an artist and I never knew where to begin and then I found your videos. I’ve learned so much in a very short amount of time. I purchased my set of watercolor essentials and followed along with this paint along. My paintings came out so pretty and I could not be happier. Thanks for providing the space for me to explore this lovely medium. I can’t wait to try more!

Also, I learned about warm and cool colors which definitely make a difference!!

I will be ordering my supplies today that you have suggested. Well done. I’ve waited to order until I found someone who would suggest especially the paint brand and brushes I would need to get started and not get overwhelmed due to me purchasing the things that would not be helpful on this journey. Your instruction was also very very helpful. I’ll be watching all of your videos and add you to my address book so I can “binge watch” while learning more when supplies arrive so I can paint along with you. Thank you for sharing.

    Another great video Mako :D I'm really eager for the next video as being a software engineer it's often impossible to keep up with hobbies. Also I want to thank you for spreading the knowledge for people like me who love to paint but never actually went to an art school. I would love to get my drawings reviewed by you some day since I find you an excellent art teacher :)

    If u like abstract art these steps are really helpful for me:
    1- TAKE A CANVAS OR A PAPER AND MAKE IT WET WITH WATER
    2-PUT RANDOM COLOURS AND TAP THEM ON UR CANVAS OR PAPER
    3- BLOW OVER THE COLOURS WHEN THEY ARE WET CAUSING THEM TO SPREAD
    4- LET IT DRY
    And ur masterpiece is ready!

    6:22 I have a question, I tried doing this but it ends up having a lot of streaks from the brush. Does having a larger brush work better? I also end up adding too much water and the paper started to warp. How do I prevent warping or adding too much water when doing wet on wet?

      more expensive paper is what you need. practice on cheap paper. Create your masterpiece on the good paper.
