Mako's first artwork: amazing My first artwork:bad!! Mako after practice: splendid 👌 My artwork after watching Mako:the best in my own way but certainly not better than mako's!!
Yeah, I think even teachers can put their students down to feel better about themselves :/ plus it probably triggers some other issues in them they haven't overcome yet!
I remember in the 11th grade I took an art class, and I loved that class because I could just sit down, and draw or paint or do whatever we were doing that day. Then the teacher - who I admired - told me I drew like a kindergartener! It was actually a drawing I was fairly proud of. She totally wrecked my confidence and I don’t think I’ve touched any form of art medium since, and that was 8+ years ago. Watching this video made me think about starting back up, so thanks for that!
You made me cry and realize many things about my life.....you are humble and beautiful ......great advice for all of us. Some people go to school and study a career for money , it's sad because they don't have the passion and patience to teach their students. I'm proud of you mako.
Loved your lovely encouraging words ! Be it painting or something else .... the most important thing is to keep trying to improve and enjoy the journey of life ! I started to paint very late in life but I'm enjoying every bit of it 😊
I thought both your paintings were beautiful, the old one as well as the new one, just different skill levels. I hope you do more videos where you talk about your life experiences as well as painting. I really got a lot out of this video. I feel your pain, I've been there too with horrible teachers that made me feel anxious and unable to learn what they were trying to teach me. And I have taken your motto to heart.... practice makes progress! So very true.
I had to watch this twice: once to listen carefully (thank you for opening up to us like that) and a second time to watch you painting. These colors, the feels of this painting are just amazing. I hope to find a (free or paying, I would be ready to pay) tutorial for this wonderful painting!
Something that is very true is that teachers influence the school performance of the students more than I would like, I mean, if you have the luck of getting an excellent teacher passionate for his work and with a will to teach the students you'll learn A LOT, if you don't, you'll feel like you are just losing your time...
The recreated painting has so much depth in it and it looks really elegant Mako! I really wish that someday I can look back at the paintings that I do now and feel like I could do better ☺️
A lovely scene where you can 'feel' the snow! I also had a terrifying math teacher in grade school. I'd stand at the chalkboard literally shaking and couldn't think. In college, a few of my art professors made me feel bad about my art. For example, when I asked for feedback on a drawing, my instructor just wrinkled her nose with disapproval and walked away without a word! You really need a thick skin and a strong ability to persevere and not let too many obstacles or bad experiences crush your spirit.
I can always rely on mako whenever I feel bad about my art . All I need to do is get my art supplies and start working with mako. Thanks for all the support you give us! ❤❤❤
I just never knew the use of watercolours....but after watching your videos of watercolour techniques, I just realized the importance of watercolours in the world of art. I want to say you THANK YOU !!
This video is very inspiring , and even though this is not a tutorial, I will try to recreate it , the colours are very soft in this painting, it's amazing
I really love your current style - softer and loser. But, had I watched your first video of this scene, I would have like it as well - it is the beginner in me that understands how great practice is but truly enjoys the journey!
OMG! I did both these paintings! The first one last year in my sketchbook and the new one as soon as you posted I painted it in my bullet journal as my weekly setup
Bad teachers can ruin so many good things, unfortunately. It's always really great to hear when people, especially artists, make something positive out of these bad experiences! Personally, I found that I had a lot of teachers who couldn't really get through to me - I always really wanted to understand what was being taught, rather than just following blind instructions. And somehow, I only had very very few teachers in life who were willing to explain why they taught things the way they did. I still feel a bit salty about it, and it's difficult to get over this feeling of "they just didn't make the effort"... and now I have to work hard to make the effort to teach myself and to treat myself and my learning needs with more respect than they did, perhaps. Also, I have to add, as a fellow German I really really relate to many of your experiences you describe in your videos and kudos for your hard work and your encouraging words!! It really cheers me up every time I watch your videos :-)
Such a beautiful and inspiring message and artwork for this Saturday morning! I was feeling so sad about the world last night but I keep hoping for better days to come. Painting helps me to stop thinking about all our troubles even if just for a little while. I can’t wait for your book to arrive at my door for Christmas! Thank you, Mako!
What an unexpected life lesson in this video. You are more than an artist, but also an excellent teacher and a beautiful human being able to heal with words. Congrats and thank you very much.
My daughter was told in college that she should just get a major in arts when what she wanted was to be a pharmacist or work in something related to chemistry. That made her so mad so she changed to another University and graduated with a degree in chemical engineer. I taught my daughters that when someone tells them they can not accomplish or do something to use that as a motivation to prove them wrong instead of allowing that negative comment to hold them back. Your painting is beautiful.
Ha, I'm exact opposite. I'm a pharmacist, but I wish I went to art school...Even if I could get in, it is way to expensive to go to university again, sadly
You are right! sadly I didn't have much help in my art school. The teacher expected everyone to know how to paint, so I had a miserable experience. when I did want to learn more, the class was already over. But thanks to art channels like yours, I feel like there is hope again for me to try painting but for myself than for grades.
Came here to learn watercolor yet also learned wisdom and life lessons that we can apply in any aspects of our life! I use to paint just a hobby many years back but motherhood and marriage came (w/c btw the best thing happened to me 😁) got my hands full! But now i’m prepared to take the next level of my long hidden skills 😅 Thank you so much for inspiring me and a million more others to follow and never give up on their dreams ✨💫
Hi Mako ! The video is just awesome ! Your 2020 image was just superb ! ( thinking of making one of my old painting ! ) Thanks for always encouraging us and making us calm in learning painting !
I didnt go to an art school and still had asshole art teachers in community college. Main reason I switched majors was because of the communities at school.
My maths teacher literally tortured students. She used to choose one student every year to set an example of them. Especially the ones who couldn't really stand up for themselves. I was unfortunately one of them. She made me hate maths and even hate school. I remember hating life at one point because she just made me feel so worthless. I feel so great now that it's over.
I really don’t know why it happens but I’m so moved at the end of the video, when you said you’ve been proud of what you learned about yourself and painting in general. Thanks Mako for sharing your stories, paintings and experiences.
The original painting was great but this one is fantastic! I certainly can see the growth. Love your videos and can’t wait to get my book!! I started painting with watercolor over the summer. I can’t wait until next year to do this exercise.
Ughhh!! i love ur vids so much I've been losing practice of watercolors sooooo much cause my exams r coming up but this gives me so much inspiration Thanks maco!🥰😘🙃🤩 can't believe how underrated u r!💜
What a beautiful artwork, video and message! Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and using your own experiences to inspire others in such a positive way!
What a lovely painting😍 After middle school I wanted to get an higher education on an art school. My teacher said that higher education was only for the smart kids, that have been misplaced in middleschool and that I'm never gonna make it because I was so bad at math. Now, 10 years later, I'm fine. The art school was fun and I got a great apprenticeshop and now I'm happily self employed as a photographer and work on the opening a fine art & sticker/ stationery etsy shop. Don't let other peoples small minds hinder you. You've got this!🙌
Just love your videos and one more thing lovely camera such a nice video❤️❤️❤️❤️ i just started water colour paintings and you are my motivation love you✨✨✨
I had a teacher whom I loved by the way but some of her methods were old school. She told us we shouldn’t listen to any music other than classical whilst creating art. I was very blessed to have an art teacher who was a working artist in a small country school. She could actually do what she was teaching.
Most teachers forget how it is to start from zero to learn something and that students always learn more than one thing. Beside learning some school subjects, students grow and learn to be a human being and function. I was lucky to get a chance to see good examples of teachers as I got back into school as an adult to get my a-level. They inspired me so much and now I study art at a big art school in Berlin to become an art teacher and inspire other :D

I know exactly what you mean! I have anxiety and the combination of beautiful art being created and a calming voice is just perfect 👌
Yes! It is a safe place to come and relax and just be yourself! 😎💕
Mako's first artwork: amazing
My first artwork:bad!!
Mako after practice: splendid 👌
My artwork after watching Mako:the best in my own way but certainly not better than mako's!!
The fact we never realise that how much we have improved in our art .
I wish I heard these words when I was at school. Thank you❤️
I love listening to you talk T_T you're so inspiring in both art and life advice!! danke!!
The Best art teacher =Mako❤
I had several teachers try to make me feel that way. I often wondered if it was because they felt inadequate or not good enough.
Yeah, I think even teachers can put their students down to feel better about themselves :/ plus it probably triggers some other issues in them they haven't overcome yet!
I remember in the 11th grade I took an art class, and I loved that class because I could just sit down, and draw or paint or do whatever we were doing that day.

Talent and inspiration! I'm 78, learning painting and electronics on my own just to keep my brain busy! You inspire me to keep going! Thanks!
It's so calming to watch this painting come together.
Your videos inspire me to create incredible paintings! I went from no ideas and basic sunsets to amazing and detailed artworks. Thank you! ❤
Aww this is amazing! ❤

yay so this how to paint snow I have wondering for about a week
What I love the most about the new painting is the confidence you show with every stroke. It inspires me. Thank you for sharing with us.
Aww thank you!
great to see how much your painting has improved. I can't wait to see you explain and do more landscapes
Listening to you just makes me feel so much inspired,motivated and determined

Yes 😫
Because of you I have a huge interest in watercolour now. You're work is so beautiful.
The recreated painting has so much depth in it and it looks really elegant Mako! I really wish that someday I can look back at the paintings that I do now and feel like I could do better ☺️
Thank you so much! Yes! Sometimes we don't realise our progress!
You will! Just keep painting. ❤
@@Makoccino yeah!! Maybe because we expect a lot from ourselves 😐
@@jengoodwyn2715 thank you for your words😊
Her voice is so warm and reassuring
A lovely scene where you can 'feel' the snow!

and also your drawings are really really cool. If we meet someday.. I would like to become your student.
This video is very inspiring , and even though this is not a tutorial, I will try to recreate it , the colours are very soft in this painting, it's amazing
Thank you!
TBH.. your video is like a snack time hobby for me.. you talking like this.. is really really very joyful... Thanks for everything!!❤️
Thanks for the encouraging words, you are a wonderful teacher!
I really love your current style - softer and loser. But, had I watched your first video of this scene, I would have like it as well - it is the beginner in me that understands how great practice is but truly enjoys the journey!
Along with the painting the things that she was saying were also beautiful ❤
Thanks
I am going through a hard time and i actually felt better after listening to you ❤️
Thank you for this therapy ❤️ sending love.

Thank you so much! Yes! Painting is such a great way to distract yourself while being fully immersed into the painting process!
this is wonderful mako :D school's been a bit rough and I've been feeling a bit uninspired and your video made my day- thank you!!
I love to see the changes in your style! ❤
I absolutely love listening and watching you. Soooo inspirational.
I love the art teachers who paint while telling you something or talk about their experiences, like Bob. Great video; you motivated me XD
The painting and your words were both beautiful! Thank you.
I love your painting and your life philosophy! Thank you for sharing your gift.
What an unexpected life lesson in this video. You are more than an artist, but also an excellent teacher and a beautiful human being able to heal with words. Congrats and thank you very much.
