Thank you so much for the simplicity and clarity of your presentation and not assuming the listener is at your level. The visuals as you talk were very helpful.
Best teacher ever!
He is! I learn so much from him!
You are the king of explaining techniques. I saw this close to two years ago; it still it THE tutorial for glazing. I needed a refresher!
I've just started watercolor in my 50s and this was one of the most helpful videos I've watched, thank you.
I am with you! I am closer to 60 & just picking up a brush! I learned to much from this video!!

Its too late ma nigga
63 & until I started following Steve's Tutorials, I had no idea that I was actually an Artist ! ? Each & every Tutorial has something to learn
Thank you for this quote from the Bible - I need it today ❤
you should publish a book about watercolor!
I absolutely
*_publish a watercolor about books_*
This is the best video I've seen in years on watercolor, no one explains it at all much less as thoroughly as you do. Thank you so much for sharing your hard earned skill in a way that has helped me progress tremendously. You are my go-to artist for learning from this point forward.
Steve, you just summarized four weeks of art classes in less than twenty minutes. Dawn breaks on Marblehead.
Steve, no doubt about it: you are the best watercolor teacher on the net. And thank you for sharing all your efforts and talent with us!

I just learned more about watercolor painting in these last eighteen minutes than I learned in the previous eighteen years. Thank you so much 💓
Wow Steve! You just answered about a million questions I had on glazing. I’m going to watch this while testing my paints. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for to achieve subtle changes in my watercolor. I’ve been doing a lot with colored pencils previously and I knew there had to be techniques that would translate the same way in watercolor, I just didn’t know what they were until this video. Thank you for sharing. Very much appreciated. Blessings to you!
I watch this video a lot - it has so many levels of learning to absorb. Wow! What a art teacher.
Ok Steve, I used a new soft brush that holds tons of water and paint. This is one of the reasons I was lifting paint. I’m going to start again, go slower, and only use use thirsty brush for first layer. It wasn’t the paper. Thanks so much for walking me through this.
I have just started watercolour painting, haven't done any painting since I was at school probably 13, now 62, you are so good at teaching, the best on you tube, will just stick with you from now on. 🙂
Thank you very much for this tutorial and we love the verse at the end.❤
Best explanation I've heard about glazing! Needed this....thank you!
One of the better classes I’ve ever had on this subject. Thank you once again. -OkieSketcher1949😊
I learned a lot from this demonstration. Will definitely try it soon.
I've been painting 40+ years and I always use glazing. I wasn't sure it was a legitimate technique so I appreciate this video.
I finally find someone that teaches in a way I understand.... thank you. Keep the videos coming...
Looking forward to using watercolor after all this time with oils. I did one watercolor on waterboard other than the watercolor we did as a kid in grade school. I am a proponent of glazing in oils, do it all the time. My new venture is using the technique in watercolor and your video high tights my interest in starting watercolor.....thanks so much. Much appreciated. Oh and my age. Will be 92 in April, if I make it.
Never too old for a new venture in my opinion. Thanks!
Wish you all the best, I'm starting to paint at 45 and thought it was so late
Steve you are such an incredible teacher. I was an art major ended up with a career in fashion. Now I’m retired and disabled, working on my fine motor skills, your advise is so concise, well thought out, great classroom!
And the Academy award for best editing goes to......... Great job! Have a great holiday weekend!
I am revisiting this video after creating a glazing mess , ignoring or forgetting all your glazing advices and tips , you are the best !!! Thanks Steve for sharing your knowledge 🙏🏼
You have really nice handwriting. I really like your channel.
This is an awesome explanation and demonstation of glazing! I have struggled with it in the past but did not want the notion of it to defeat me! Thank you
I so appreciate your time and talent. I am just now getting serious about glazing after 4 years of screwing up paintings. You make it easy to understand where I have been going wrong..thank you again.
Best explanation of glazing I've seen. Thank you
I have been going back through some of these old videos and they are such an invaluable resource. Thank You!
(I appreciate the fact that you always put up a verse of Scripture!) Very nice tutorials.
As a professional artist, I love to learn and I thank you so much for these wonderful videos, which are so informative! Bless you too for adding the passages from scripture at the end of the videos.
“Be careful of compliments” Ok. As in “nice glazing you have there”! 😂😂 (I think the spelling you wanted was an e instead of an i.) I got a kick out of it though!! I am restarting using watercolor after 14 years. These have been very helpful. TFS!
Haha, I was looking for someone to point that out. Watching him write subtle was a bit exciting too.
Thank you so much. I'm new to watercolor and this is wonderful information.
You explained it well thanks Dad
Your hints on paper dryness, looseness of red pigments and deep colours, best choice of brushes are right on the money. I will take your advice and teachings to my easel. I have looked for glazing info but have found very little. This demo was by far the very best resource I've found so far. Thank you very much!
Wow it's almost 2021 and I'm just learning about watercolor. Your videos are a must for anyone who is new to the art of watercolor. Thank you and Happy New Year!
Still learning? I’m just starting..
Have watched a lot of videos on learning water painting techniques, but find that your videos are the clearest and the easiest to follow along. Thanks for making them!
Excellent tutorial. Thank you 🎨🌈
I am learning so very much from you!! Thank you. Beginner in Idaho.
I learn so much from you.
You make it interesting...chalenging
As a complete novice, I found this video to be very helpful. You step thru the logic for each step and demonstrate the techniques in a very logical fashion. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and share the tips/techniques. Wonderful.
Thank you much! Growing up, I shied away from Watercolor. I just could not get it! That is why I stayed with Pastel Oil, Pen & Ink more. During Pandemic, I tried to learn watercolor again. I understand it more now. And your video really helped me.
I'm about to teach my first watercolor class tonight, so I am glad I came across this!
Your instruction is easy to follow, very step by step and presented logically - the way I think and learn!
im very appreciate of this video as i just started learning watercolors. I been an oil and acrylic painter for 10 years, but was always afraid of watercolors. wish me luck! i;ll be viewing your videos for guidance, thank you !
Steve - great video; my previous attempts were always muddy .... I was painting wet into wet and now realize I was dissolving the previous layers. Can't wait for my next practice!
Thank you for doing what you do. 🙏
I've taught students for years, "Better glaze than never!" This is a wonderful tutorial and really reduces the subject down to a simple, understandable form. Nice job, Steve. Even Reese looked impressed. Cheers! :)
You explained glazing wonderfully and patiently... it was a great learning watching this video and your handwriting is good. Thank you!!!
While reading and watching everything I can about watercolors (and there's a lot!), I came across your videos and have to agree with everyone's assessment, your explanations and demonstrations are clear and very helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this... especially showing it on Arches. I'm an x-oil painter who used glazing extensively and expects luminosity with my transparent pigments. New to watercolor, I kept hearing about the wonders of Arches so I bought a block. Wow, I was sooo disappointed. My pigments that glowed on cellulose, with a percentage of cotton thus not soaking in so much, turned dull and almost chalky looking in comparison to me when dried glazing on the block. I was not happy with the cream white paper either. Researching this problem off youtube, I found others experiencing the same thing. I read there seems to be a difference in Arches pads, sheets and blocks and, for glazing, pads/sheets act better for this style so am glad to see you showing it. Thanks again for an excellent instruction... you're my fav. :-)
Each time I try to water color I just get it very dark even if use lots of water? Now see choosing the darkest red first & do whole area!
Then can’t go back as make it to dark! Ty for this video as see need to just practice on paper how my paints act & not use complementary colors! Did a green wash & (kind of let it dry) then went up & did blue over green wash (all semi fine) & then when below went over the green wash with a light purple & turned that (not pretty) muddy color!
So getting out my watercolor paper & practice, practice until can get a light “even first layer” & like that text of going over one color with others but leaving part of original! Tyvm!!
Loooooved it! So clear! It opened my eyes!
So helpful!! Thank you.

No doubt you're using Etchers paper. I only have cheap paper at the moment, watching you work here has made me realise just how crap mine is. I really need to afford to buy myself some good paper. I have paints, JUST NEED PAPER.
Thank you for this
