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 totally agree. me too i am a beginner and after watching this video, it seems so doable
By far the BEST watercolor demo I've ever seen! Thank you for the simplicity in your skill and commentary (:
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.
Glad to help!
Insanely beautiful. Reeds and everything... It's not a painting it's a place.
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.

Clive Welch excellent :)
Wonderful! Cattails, Spartinaflora, Alternaflora. Absolutely gorgeous! You make your talent seem so easy!!
Just watching you paint is so healing. Mr. Palmer inspires me to take up my paint brushes once again. Thank you!
Absolutely love the addition of the weeds at the corner!!
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 !

Thank you Matthew. Love how you do the mountains and create depth. Very helpful and easy to understand.
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 Matthew, I am a beginner but I followed you step by step and I cannot believe how good my watercolor came out!
That was absolutely beautiful to watch! Thank you, Matthew. You are a gifted teacher and clearly a talented watercolorist.
You say it's very simple! It is one of the very best tutorials I've seen so far & I was impressed. It may be simple but very beautiful. 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
Glad it helped!
very beautiful
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 💕
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.
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
Thank you Matt. I’ve been an oil painter most of my life and now I’m doing watercolor. I overwork it. Ugh. This helped me. Thank you.
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.
Your painting is gorgeous and you explain the procedure so well! Thank You so much.
Absolutely gorgeous. This is the first landscape I really love.
Thank you for sharing this video.
Really? Of all the watercolour masters through the years, this is the first painting you liked?
There ya go.
Thank you,haven’t used water colour since I was a kid. Use to love watching my Mom paint...so here I am giving it a try! Great video!
Great tutorial...ty
I am so encouraged watching you. I feel I can start.
Love it, I will watch over and over to get your technique down pat! Love your work, and simple instructions...such a smooth voice too!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍tytytytyty
That was the best demonstration I have seen. You are so talented thank you for sharing this beautiful tutorial
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!
Your comments and instructions really are clear and helpful. I also like your pace which makes it easy to see what you are doing and for a visual person this is so important.
Lovely painting, lovely calming tutorial, thank you.
Great technique, love the style of this Mt Lake view.
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.
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 .
So simple yet amazing. I'm in awe with a strong feeling of inspiration. I'm ready to give it a try. Let's do it☺️.
Great job. ♥️♥️♥️👍
Absolutely gorgeous painting 💖 Thank you for sharing your wonderful talent with us! I’m going to try this. I’ll let you know how it turns out 💖

Thank You for teaching me so much!! I'm a beginner and appreciate your commentary and the slower speed of your painting. Can't wait to try this!
Love your painting! I love how you say 'let it dry and will come back to it'. So many of my paintings were ruined by not waiting
Love the tape technique for keeping the shoreline level. I wanted to learn more about painting water, great ideas here, thank you.
Thank you Matthew for sharing this. A real inspirational and learning experience it was.
Thank you, this video has been so helpful to me. The best video I've found on watercolor instruction on TH-cam thus far.
Thank you so much, sir! I barely watch 20mins and above tutorial but yours is an exception for me! It feels like it's only 3mins.. that means i really enjoyed and got interested on how you do it such simple yet so amazingly beautiful landscape view! I'm still a beginner in watercolor painting and still learning but I will definitely try to do this!! ♥️ again thank you so so much!!! You're amazing!!
Thanks Matthew Palmer for this beautiful painting lesson! It is simple, and yet sublime!
Elsy Matthew you’re a relative of his
@@sunmn3944 How?
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
@@domfm7161 Oh Dom! Nice to hear from you! May your wished come true!
I am elsymatthew1954@gmail.com
Beautiful! Thank you for all the technique tips.
I loved this demo in fact so much I shall try it this weekend. Thank you for sharing
Beautiful...what a soothing landscape, so subtly detailed. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Thank you so much!! This really helped me out, it’s a very helpful tutorial. :)
Fantastic painting ! Extremely helpful, especially for a beginner
This was a lot of fun! Thanks for all the tips! I haven't painted in a long time so this was great to get me going!! Thank you!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍tytytytyty
I just love watching your videos! You keep it simple but the results look amazing. Thank you.
Wonderful , Mr. Palmer ! You're a real artist
Just given this a go and love the outcome! Thank you so much
Thank you so much! i watched it until the end of the video, i'm really impressed.
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!
So beautiful. Thank you for this class!
Just seen your paintings. Absolutely beautiful, and so easy too. Thank you.....
It's so beautiful
Very good and THANKS.
I’ve really enjoyed watching you paint, thank you !
Thank you for this marvelous lesson in tool and brush technique!
Beautiful, thanks for the magnificant lesson.🙏🏼
Lovely painting. Thank you for taking the time to film and post it. Very much appreciated by so many.
Bravo
I love how clean everything is. You make precision look good. I love the cat tails.
thank you for your tutorial..it has been years since I've used the watercolor medium, I appreciate your advice and technique
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!
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
Lovely dainty strokes .making a strong beautiful composition.
I too am Indian and want to know whether I can do water colour on canvas
U right
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 learned soooo many gems watching you today. Thank you!
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 😂
Wow, that was amazing. Loved the different techniques to create contrast and movement and introduce light. Thank you
I am so glad I watched it till the end. Simply amazing and beautiful. You are so talented.
I'm really good at the first part.. getting the paper wet... that's where it ends..lol
@Toni Sumblin No. I'm horrible, but I don't care.. it's very fun for me. I enjoy very much!
LOL
@@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 😊
🤣🤣🤣
Same! 😂 I start thinking I can do this and then as soon as the paint goes on I mess it up
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.
Thanks Clive always love 💕 your landscape paintings 🎨💜👍
Definitely going to give this one a try! Thank you for breaking it down into easy steps!
Great class! Thank you for share your knowledge :D Happy Easter!
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!!
Thoroughly enjoyed watching your tutorial. Easy, informative and relaxing. Thank you
Thank you for such an eye-opening technique. Lovely.
Thank you very much Matthew - I'll be trying this with my high school students, doing a step-by-step watercolour session with them!
@CaitL18 I know your comment is a couple years old, but was wondering how the class did on this project. Great one you selected for them. Many tips Matthew mentioned that will help in future paintings. If you have time would love to know how it went. Janis
Amazing!!! This picture is awesome. Thanks for your techniques ..... I will go ahead and try painting a similar picture you did!!
:D
Very nice. I am kavya. In sri lanka.❤❤❤
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
Enjoy
Matthew, I loved your landscape. I find landscapes a challenge myself. Your picture reminded me of Lake Placid, NY on a cool day. You are a wonderful painter.
Absolutely beautiful i love the composition. Stunning
Sorry sir But shadows of mountains missing?
@@drvijaywarwatkar7949 I'm a musician not a painter, it looks excellent to me
@@MsrAlaindeFerrier Oh.Then you are really great sir.Its amazing painting though you are not painter.
@@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
@@drvijaywarwatkar7949 not exactly true I'm a concert pianist, I paint pictures with sound
Hello thanks for the tutorial I am new to painting and found value in your video
I'm new too but Matthew makes me believe I CAN paint watercolor. Loved his textured mountains here. Best I've seen.
Wonderful. Love the way you can bring the water to life.
I love your techniques! Thanks for sharing.
I'm indian,,u got a new subscriber,,beautiful landscape,,,supper
@@annespellberg7173 that this guy is super good(the artist)

Me ha encantado
Arvind Shekhawat excellent:)
This has been very helpful to me just starting out in watercolor! Thank you. Love the cattails!
I’m new to watercolor painting. I love this video
Thankyou. So excited to try this today
Thank you for showing so many great techniques. I learned much from basics to adding character. Great stuff. Keep it up, please.
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!
a supply list would be helpful so we could know what kinds of brushes and paper and paint was used
Love ❤️ your tutorial and the pace was easier to follow you.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing, especially showing several techniques applied to one piece!
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!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍tytytytyty
Lovely painting, very nice tutorial. You are the 'Bob Ross' of water colours!
i painted this when i was in 5th grade for an art exbition , thanks to u it turned out so good, that was 2 years ago and now this awsome painting tutorial pops up in my recomendations!
Ooh, it makes me want to paint again. Lovely, lovely painting. 😀
I loved this tutorial....it looked wonderful and made me realise that watercolour was easyy
Hi and thanks for your knowledge one for you. it's the sedge family common name bullrush sometimes known as reed mace or also called coattails ... thanks again
David Shepherd. Cattails not coattails
Hawk eye Hehehe!
Love this! Great tutorial for a simple mountain lake scene.
Tried this and it came out really well, i always knew i could paint but needed a few lessons..i am indeed grateful.
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.
What a great tutorial! Also, thanks to James Wong for the transcription.
