So glad I found your video's, really helped me. Started learning from TH-cam last year at the age of 71. Wish I had found yours then. Love wet on wet with no sketching.
I am truly a beginner at watercolor painting but this video made it seem so easy. Matthew made it wonderfully simple to understand. I really feel this will be something I will start doing and enjoying so much. Thank you
I recently got back into painting after years and it's a lot more difficult than I remember. I watched this video and re-created it my self. It was very easy to follow and there are really good tips and techniques that helped me so much. 10/10
Did my first ever water colour with you in Birmingham last year age 63 and loved it. I have watched a fair few videos of yours since and joined the SAA recently, l love your easy to follow style thank you so much for doing what you do.
I like this no music just talking very relaxing , I really appreciate you helping others to learn how to paint .my favorite water, mountains, trees , sky . nothing more beautiful . thank you so much .
Everything in this video is magic…..have seen so many watercolour tutorials but your video simply makes all the water logic easy to understand……thank you so much 💕
Your comment about light is spot on. We have a stunning view of hills from our house and we get the light coming through trees in a morning but those same hills have light on them in an evening too.
I love the way you paint that goes without saying... but I am so glad you FILM over your left side... So many people film on the right side, and their hand gets in the way of watching you paint. Thank you! Beautiful painting... as always.
Quite 'strange' what you said, Judi.... i looked at a huge amount of watercolour painting, sessions, etc, and never saw one filming from that right side !
What a great video Matthew. Clear, concise and a host of first class painting tips which I'll be trying. I love the way in which you paint the reeds. It's not easy at all but you make it look like it is. Thank you.
thank you-I have just discovered watercolour painting in lockdown after my sisters set up a weekly family art challenge. never thought I would get into it(never!) but starting to enjoy it and it gives me a break from my OCD-great for anxiety and stress! Thanks so much!Going to attempt a
Congratulations Matthew. Absolutely marvelous landscape tutorial. Perhaps one of the best I have see. Well worth the crick in my neck trying to get the picture upright.
You make it look so easy to work with watercolour. I have a very hard time painting with watercolour. I will try again tonight, hopefully I will have a little luck. Thank you for sharing this beautiful video. I did see this one before, and I really like this painting.
Thank you so much. Wish I could publish the results of following your video. I worked 4 at a time so I didn't have to wait for the paint to dry. They were all acceptable but one I felt was really worthy of sharing with you for a beginner. Thank you for the inspiration. I made it public on Facebook for you to see. Your instructions are so easy to follow and you are so encouraging. Thank you, Matthew.
Tried doing this scene after watching your tutorial. You were great, I was not! Love the way you explain everything, I'm going to keep trying. Thank you
I've been trying to get into watercolour but it's all been a bit frustrating so far - I don't have enough time (young kids!) nor have I been seeing enough progress. The amount of tutorials, people to 'follow' and materials out there make it all overwhelming. Yours is one of the first watercolour pages I've viewed on TH-cam and I decided to just go for it with this painting tonight. My final result is surprisingly good and I learned a lot. Turns out the 30 minute 'quick-draw' was just what I needed - don't think, just paint. This has been the most inspiring thing I've done to date. Sincerely, thank you, Matthew, and Keep up the great work!
Thanks A LOT clear, not too difficult, very good explanation all the way through . Never found anything as good as your approach in French videos If you made a book I'll try to find it too
This is beautiful. I have been over thinking how to begin. Your calm style has nudged me forward. Thank- you for calmly sharing your knowledge and talent. Wishing you health and happiness in this new year. From eastern Canada.
@@lisawik7234 i feel u lol. I'm just getting into water colors. I'm good and acrylic and chalk pastels but water colors and oil painting is hard for me. I'm a cartoonist so its out of my norm but im going to keep at it till I feel happy with were i am. I love a challenge. Water colors r hard though. Bet ur doing great and good luck. Keep it up and all we can do is our best right. As long as ur having fun with it 😊
Hi Matthew, I saw you have updated your site this year. I found this exercise very helpful not having to sketch the landscape scene first. I'm left-handed it was a little difficult keeping up with the angle to remember as you progressed. I am hoping to purchase one of your DVD's and continue to follow online. I need more appropriate brushes too. Advising the brush number as you went was very helpful too.
This is fantastic! Thank you so much for your explanations and for working slow enough for us to see exactly what you are doing! I"ll be back for more!
First, wet the paper. I will start with the natural blue. Just walking across, Let it fade away. And play the same to the bottom Clouds, because the water will back into it. Keeping going with the tissue until it not going anymore. Excellent. Let’s give us a few seconds, just to, just to dry off. Natural green to painting very distance hills, mountains, whatever you want to call them. Always clear my brush. Closer to us. What I am doing here, to this hill, a little bit natural orange to make it slightly green-ish. Then, wipe away, some light. Give it a sense of depth. Natural green, the dark green, Spiky, spiky, spiky… It is a nice way, easily working really. Thinking about the trees, you can make it higher or lower. It is your choice. Natural yellow light. Working within all over the top. Almost highlighted. It starts to dry because the pain is quite heavy. Carve some details. Then, original green with a tiny bit of orange and blue to paint some very high mountains. Another layer in the back. Adding a little bit of details. Manipulate it. Beautiful word. Dark green. To paint a couple of pine trees. A few dots on the top. We got five, it is a good number. Dark green, swipe across. Reflecting the trees. Very dry brush, a nice way. Craft knife. A sharp one. Mix dark green and blue. Add some reeds. Don’t be afraid to make these things hig. Cattails. Then, modifying some details, like highlight and dark, make it more realistic.
@@drvijaywarwatkar7949 why are you being so critical and negative? if you don't like it or you don't approve of decent people appreciating just skip, jog on. Peace brother
Wow, 2 million views! No doubt aided by your thoughtful and thorough commentary answering every question forming inside the viewer's head as they watch you paint. Hope you do more of this. Thanks!
This was my first time painting wi watercolour. I wasn't to happy with how it turned out but I got really good feedback. Thanks for the tutorial, i learnt a lot!
@Ben..your first painting! You are brave😊 it’s been a couple years since you wrote this comment. Wondering how you’re getting along with watercolor painting. The hardest media to do IMO. I’m still struggling but trudging down the road learning to have patience 😂
Very inspiring! Such a pleasure to listen to your voice as you explain what you are doing and you make it look so simple and easy to paint with watercolour. Thank you!
So beautiful, thank you for sharing your talent with us! This really helps me a lot. I've drawn all my life and am just starting to work with watercolors. I think I love it more than drawing now! This is my calling!!
I really liked your tutorial. It's the only one I've tried where the result was half decent, and you explained what you were doing or wanting to achieve which a lot of "tutorials" don't. Thanks!
I know right?! As hard as I tried to keep my head straight, I would tilt to see the painting better and by the end of the video I had a sore neck! But yes great techniques!
Amazing teaching. I loved watching you work. I'm about ready to do my first watercolor painting in Art class. This is perfect. Thank you so much. I look forward to seeing more of your classes.
Great tutorial, when you show Painting with the mount on there are several birds painted in, would love to have seen you add those, will try to replicate them too
Awesome tutorial! Very clean and straightforward. The camera angle wasn't as bad as some of the comments made it out to be, though. Everyone needs to chill and thank the man for posting a free tutorial. I'd love to see more of your 30 minute tutorials here on YT, Matthew! TFS

Thank you SO much Matthew! You do lovely work. Just found you and am thrilled to have some excellent instruction! Thank you for sharing with me!
