Dear Kolbie, I've watched lots of your tutorials, purchased both of your books and am working my way through your course; but the thing I wanted to REALLY thank you for, is you always telling us, no matter what happens, that "it's OK" - that, above everything else has given me the confidence to continue putting brush to paper. xx
This was such an enjoyable way to "pretend" I am a watercolor artist. After these 10 days, I feel that I am 2% there. I LOVE your talk. You are motivating and calming. You were my calming escape from being a full time caregiver. Thank you! Here's to many more 10 day challenges. Blessings. 🎨🖼🎨
Kolbie, you inspire me!!! Thanks for helping me tap into my creativity, when I truly believed I had none- thanks for helping me embrace the mess and giving space for practicing bravery!!!! Oh and for making it easy for me to learn the beauty of watercolor!!! What a great teacher!!!
This was a nice way to cap off the challenge. I think the mindset lessons contained in this challenge were just as valuable as the painting lessons, thank you!
I'm so glad you mentioned the fact that you CAN change your mind if you're not feeling what you started out with. There are no rules it's literally whatever YOU want and just paint have fun ♡ best series ever!
This has been so much fun Kolbie. There is so much to learn in land and seascapes. Patience, patience and even more for drying times but what a difference it makes. I am going through this another time, I am sure I will absorb more of your gems . You are an inspiration. Thank You
I love your encouragement to keep going even if it’s not the same as yours and a ‘mess’.. it’s amazing how it turns out anyway. And it gets the juices flowing to try again. Thanks Kolbie.
What a wonderful way to end the challenge! Thank you Kolbie for all your hard work making this challenge~ Thank you for sharing your tips, hints and techniques, as well as your encouraging words in each challenge.
Soooo moody! I did much better with this one, getting more depth out of the dark colours. I’m so grateful for the inspiration, your instruction and how much I have improved my painting over the 10 day challenge. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Bittersweet, indeed! This series seemed as if it went by faster than the first book challenge. Really love how it was simple and accessible in terms of following along, yet really got into producing finished projects that look beyond basic art. So beautiful.
Thank you so much for this challenge. It has kept me busy during a frustrating time while my fractured wrist is healing. I’ve discovered I really love painting and need it to be part of my everyday life. This was such a magical image to end with. 💕
Thank you. I’ve been painting for two years on a daily basis but learned a lot and had a lot of fun. I plan to go back and try other challenges. Trees and sky!
Honestly, you are the most inspirational creative out there. You’re vulnerability on sharing the realness of creativity has been so helpful for me. I’ve struggled with it not turning out the way I want or feeling like I’m just no good, and your words help me through that. Thank you!
I swear I was just thinking this today! I love the way she is so chill with it all and shows no matter what stage you're in as far as this skill, things aren't always perfect. Her imperfection quotes are my favorite ♡♡♡
Thank you for your vulnerability. It is nice to see that it is ok for things not to work out and bring ok with our paintings not working out as expected or hoped for. Learned a lot with your challenge. Thank you!
Thank you for being a ray of sunshine in these uncertain times. You calm our souls and give us hope that tomorrow will be better. Thank you for sharing your talents and your grace. You have changed lives more than you will ever know.
Another fun watercolor! Thank you for the valuable information you provided through this series. You are a natural teacher - one who understands how to get your point across to us in a very upbeat way.
Thank you for the 10 day journey. I appreciate the challenges you generously offer and I will continue to learn from you. I love the night sky of this painting. The layers have depth and dimension and separation of space and sky. I love a moody sky and ocean scene. The second painting was a nice surprise bonus and made a full circle from what was learned during the challenge.
I’m so glad I found your videos and your work! A friend on Facebook recommended you. I’m learning so much about watercolor from you but most importantly your kind, open attitude and presence is just wonderful. Thank you! 🔆🪷
Congratulations on day 10 of your Seascape tutorials! 🌊💞 Every day is more beautiful than the next… I can't wait to get to this one. I've already learned so much from the couple that I've done so far. I really enjoyed watching your videos. Thank you for this challenge. Cheers to your success with the book - it looks absolutely incredible!! 💖
Yes baby, I'm coming for your pretty, pretty, pretty book. Eres una gran inspiración y justo ahora que comenzaré con los paisajes, muchísimas gracias por tus enseñanzas. 😘👌😀😍
I can’t thank you enough for your videos and books and most of all for your positive attitude and encouragement! Loved this series and will paint them as I get a chance! I can’t wait for the new book! Happy painting!
Wow! What a great ending to a challenge. I love a good beach and all things that go with it. It was a challenge but it stretched me and made me realize I can do more or I and decide to make it different. Thanks for sharing thoughts of an artist along with your wisdom. I have grown as an artist. Thank you.
This series is wonderful, with such helpful and encouraging commentary! I absolutely love this particular painting, it's so moody and inviting 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 I also love the picture you didn't want to finish, it's soft and beautiful ❤️
I really enjoy your challenges! I especially like the extra photos you send to further challenge us. Doing the second "intermediate" one on my own really shows me how much I have learned from your video and makes me feel like I can really do this on my own. Thank you so much! I hope you do more challenges in the future!
I can't wait to paint this one!! I am camping now, with a travel set of paints, and am using some of the layering techniques for paintings of the lake!
Wow. How beautiful. Thank you so much for all these tutorials. I don't always have the time to play with paints like this but I'll definitely be giving this one a go.
Absolutely love your work and videos. I’ve been painting for a few years now and just found you. You’re taking me to the next level. Pls keep up the great work! ❤
Wow such a beautiful sky love the colors.Thank you so much for this wonderful challenge i am so inspired by ur teaching and love the effort you made to teach us.Thank you again for the wilderness challenge and i really enjoyed painting with you dear Kolbie.Love to learn more in future.:-)
This has been so good for me to watch how you paint. I've learned so much from you...so happy for the day that my sister found your 1st book on the shevles at Michaels. You are such a great teacher...thanks for this series.
This was an amazing and inspiring 10 days! Really appreciate how much you share about your process, failures and successes, and all your encouragement.
This has been so much fun! I am sad to see this come to end! It has been a challenge and a pleasure to paint along with you and learn some new skills along the way! Thank you so much! I can't wait for the next challenge!
All of the projects are beautiful and fun, including this one. I’ve been following Kolbie and learning from her friendly and approachable teaching style for a few years. I love landscapes and I have her first book which is awesome, too. Thank you for doing these challenges!
Thanks for sharing your skills and hard work. This one seems a bit complicated. Will try this evening. Thank you for taking the time to hold these challenges. I shall start using your first book more regularly now.
I loved what you said at the end, because I didn't feel like covering up all my blended backgroud, did it anyway and now I'm just meh I don't like it, I saw it through but no this wasn't for me. I really loved the blue, purple and orange that I had going so you know what? I'm actually going to paint this again, without covering everything up just because that's what works for me today, perhaps tomorrow will be another story. ANyway thank you for showing us that a talented artist like yourself also have moments that's just not working for them
I love watching you paint! It inspired me to make my own watercolor book with notes. I can’t express how thankful I am to have found you and realize art is our own and yes.. it’s okay for it not to turn out like I planned! 💕
I just found you & I picked up your book, “stunning watercolor seascapes “ & it is truly amazing!!! You are amazing!! You are SO encouraging! Thank you for being honest about the process not always being easy or smooth. And about changing courses in the middle of a project. “Wandering” I could go on & on. Just thank you so much for being you & teaching from a place of kindness 🫶
Thank you so much for this series, I’ve been doing both your challenges at once and doing two paintings a day and reflecting on what I loved and learned, so much practice!
Wow, I love to watch the play of moonlight on the water. Night is also the best time to see baby sea turtles!
This one is pure magic. Absolutely gorgeous, and you're forgiven for doing it twice :)

This was a nice way to cap off the challenge. I think the mindset lessons contained in this challenge were just as valuable as the painting lessons, thank you!
Lovely tutorial and challenge. Thank you for including the bonus at the end! A good reminder that it's about OUR journey and not the end result!
Love painting seascapes with Kolbie!

Thanks so much for this series! I’ve loved painting alone with you!

Nice! Hope that I can paint like you one day soon.
Thank you so much for this series, I’ve been doing both your challenges at once and doing two paintings a day and reflecting on what I loved and learned, so much practice!
