This was such a treat to sit back and learn new techniques explained in your easy going manner. I just found you and I feel a new enthusiasm as a novice watercolor student. I am rewinding your tutorial and I have my paints ready to go! Much appreciation for sharing your talent with all of us.
Wonderful! Your style is so fresh & the explaining along the way is really really helpful. Thank you for taking the time to redo your previous painting with your full palette. Much appreciated! 😊
Awww you’ve done it again! I want to live there. When it gets closer to Christmas it would be lovely if you could paint one of these village scenes with a nod to the Yuletide Season. Thank you for sharing your creativity. 🎨✨
@marionbik Great idea, Marion :))) Christmas will be here in no time (actually, it seems to travel faster the older I get...). Mike is the right artist to add even more joy, light, and Magic to the Christmas Season.🌠
I did this one!!! Your color mixes are fantastic!!! It took a couple tries to get the hues you have created for your whimsical houses. I just had to use the colors and paints you use to get those hues! They’re absolutely beautiful! You have such a masterful talent !! Thank you so much!! I turned on the notification bell ! I don’t want to miss any of your great tutorials!! Please keep them coming!!!
When ever you post one of these I feel like I’m going on a mystery vacation to a mystical Fantasy place and try to picture what we will be doing there .... 💖✨💝💫💞 Thanks for sharing 💝
Couldn't stop watching this tutorial - from one step to the next to see what you would paint next and how you would blend those beautiful colors. So beautiful!!!
You are just such a pleasure to watch Mike!!!. From your casual attitude to the gorgeous colors, and not to mention your whimsical style!!!. I can watch you for hours Mike, thank you so much for the instructions you give us. We get so much pleasure from your work!.❤
New to art and painting with watercolours. Loved this tutorial and looking forward to finding more of the same. Wonderfully inspirational. Can’t wait to give it a try. Thank you
I was so happy to see a video from you today! Beautiful as always and great tutorial. Extra bonus was your intriguing video transitions...cool editing. Thank you so much.
Watched in awe, love your skills and the information you impart. I’m a newbie to watercolour at 71 so need all the help I can get!😅Subscribed. All the best from a Man of Kent now living in WA.👍🇦🇺🇬🇧🙏
❤ Mike, thank you once again. What an amazing talent you are. I am so in love with your wonderful video tutorials, you have a very easy listening voice, what a pleasure to have you on TH-cam. Thank you so much. You have taught me so much. ❤
Hi Mike. Apart from your technique, which I really enjoy a lot, I like the fact that your videos are real time, not super fast like most are. I find when I think about your videos I slow down and take my time and the results are so much better.
I’m grateful I found your channel. I am developing my style here in Montana USA, and I really love the western landscapes here with old homestead buildings and our town buildings in general. I live in a very rural area. I am drawn to your colorful, whimsical style using a saturated and harmonious color palette, not necessarily the wind-blown grays of the dry winds and structures here in the badlands. I recently completed an overworked (I’m learning) painting of three grain elevators, and I liked the colors, despite the fact that I fiddled too much. It’s fun to see your confidence with your paint strokes. Leaving little “dots” of white really keeps the painting alive, if that makes sense. Thanks so much for sharing your talent and instruction.
Thank you for the beautiful tutorial , I really love your unique way of getting your sky and trees and the pops of color you used ! I gave this a try for Margot Lofts watercolor challenge and mine turned out beautiful ! Thank you again and Blessings from WA! ❤
Love your painting style, Mike! These are lovely. Very fun and whimsical. I only wish you offered traceables? I love to paint, but the drawing part is very difficult for me. Something to consider? Thank you for these relaxing and informative videos. Keep them coming! 😀
Just a quick question, mainly for clarification since I’m such a new painter…is the light coming from the upper right? I’m assuming that because of the shadows from the chimneys.
oh i love this. do you know if your daniel smith opera rose is the same as paul rubens op rose please, i dont know if my mixing isnt right or the paul rubens is too fluro bright. am a beginner
Great lesson from you. Thank you for sharing in real time and with NO MUSIC 👍 the music most people use is so annoying and distracting that I have to turn off their channel. I’m not sure why they choose what they choose but it’s great that you don’t use music.
“Get myself a thirsty brush”…..love it. It completely explains what needs to happen for the painting to turn out well. Again….thank you for sharing.
Very welcome
Soooo this is my favorite feel good watercolor tutorials, I don't know why I laughed till I cried. Best tutorial ❤
I'm so glad!
Absolutely LOVE your unique style! Just beautiful and whimsical!
Thank you Tiffany
Me too!! 💖
Mike, I love the quirky houses. What brand of brushes do you use?
Your paintings and watching you paint makes me happy 😊😊. Thanks for sharing ❤❤.

I so enjoyed this tutorial. Just delightful. And I've learned. Now time to sit back, look at my painting and have a little giggle. Loved it.❤
Thank you Deborah, keep creating beautiful stuff.
Ty, this is the first of yours I’ve watched, but the close-ups are immensely helpful combined with the pulling back.
Awww you’ve done it again! I want to live there. When it gets closer to Christmas it would be lovely if you could paint one of these village scenes with a nod to the Yuletide Season. Thank you for sharing your creativity. 🎨✨
What a terrific idea!!!. I can just imagine one of his whimsical little towns all decked out for the season, for that matter…every season!!. Yayyy❤

Your talented whimsy and brighter tones have induced me to write a whimsical poem….or a song. Enjoyed this immensely 🎨‼️🖼👏
That is very nice to hear. Xx

Love your painting style, Mike! These are lovely. Very fun and whimsical. I only wish you offered traceables? I love to paint, but the drawing part is very difficult for me. Something to consider? Thank you for these relaxing and informative videos. Keep them coming!

I love this particular scene. I will give it another go of it!!
Definitely, there are lots of detail close ups for you to follow 👍
I just love this...definitely inspirational...thank you so much! 😊
What brand of brush are you using that has such a great point ? 😊 I love your work
Hi Mary, I use escoda perla size 12
Hi. Where do you put the sketch so we can copy and paint.
www.somersetartist.com/downloadable-images/
Love this tutorial ❤ And I love how you use the fan brush. I was wondering whether it would be worth buying one and I see that it would 🙏
This is so stunning, love it
Lovely painting and you described everything so well. What was the yellow you used for the first house roof? Was it yellow ochre?
”petit gris” is squirrel’s hair 😊
I just found out about your paintings, I love your style ! ❤
👏Fantastic!😁
I tried so hard to follow you while trying to paint this adorable picture but I can barely hear what you are saying. I love your style!
Great video Mike, BTW Petite Gris is a Squirrel
Thanks mate
Adorei!!!👏👏👏
Obrigada 🙏
Just a quick question, mainly for clarification since I’m such a new painter…is the light coming from the upper right? I’m assuming that because of the shadows from the chimneys.
Yes you’re right
Oh how I love this!
Petit Gris is an artist and this DaVinci brush is a special edition by him. Petit Gris means 'small grey'
Thanks very much
Hello - please tell me the series of the Escoda brush being used, and the size. Thanks! G. Gremillion
Such a lovely watercolor painting ❤ what's the name of the rose color? Thanks 😊
It is called Opera Rose
oh i love this. do you know if your daniel smith opera rose is the same as paul rubens op rose please, i dont know if my mixing isnt right or the paul rubens is too fluro bright. am a beginner
I have only tried Daniel Smith Opera Rose and Sennelier ( quite similar) don’t know about Paul Rubén’s, must try it!
its very bright!@@mike100562
Very lovely!!!
Forgot to say how helpful are those closeups. Thank you!
Xxx
What brush are you using?
Escoda size 12 Perla sintetico

Great lesson from you. Thank you for sharing in real time and with NO MUSIC 👍 the music most people use is so annoying and distracting that I have to turn off their channel. I’m not sure why they choose what they choose but it’s great that you don’t use music.
Glad it was helpful!
