ARTIST I WATCH

Here's a short post with a few of the artists on youtube that I'd follow.

#1 (yes, #1 for a reason) Steve Mitchell's Mind of Watercolor.
     He has about four or five years of doing this. Most of his are 20-25 minutes long on a
     huge number of subjects. He doesn't just expect you to watch him work. His explanations
     are very clear and helpful. Steve is a commercial artist with a lot of knowledge about a lot of         media, but focus is watercolor on this channel.
     Plus he is a nerd and funny to watch. Say hello to Reese for me!

#2 Angela Fehr

     Angela does a lot of loose work, largely landscapes. She also gives very clear explanations.

#3  Lindsay Weirich(?) The Frugal Crafter

     A lot of her stuff is craftsy, but she has great tips on watercolor painting.

#4  Watercolor Misfit

     A pretty young gal who has taught herself and picked up some pretty good ideas on the way.
     I don't always agree with her choices of paper, but she has a unique style. Tends to say
     "that being said" a lot.

Most of these don't take up a lot of time, but give great information .... things you might think seem so simple, so how did I not know that?
