How I Paint A Watercolour - Doing It Ourselves

www.doingitourselves.com

Have you thought of doing a book of the chateau with just paintings and drawings of scenes around and in the chateau. eg. glass house, ducks, geese, cats, dogs, front door, chapel, cottage door etc. It would be amazing and not intrusive like photographs might be. It could have little captions or paragraphs about them.

Michael, you might want to have Ryan disable the "save as" option on your artwork, and water mark it with your name over the image on the web site, of course the prints won't have the water mark when people buy them. It is better for people to buy the prints from you, than save and copy to print at home.

It would be great to see you interview your Mum and Dad. They have a great work ethic and your Dad is just amazing for his years. X 🇨🇮

I love ur dad! He needs his own KZhead channel. Lol

You need to put watermarks on the display of your prints on the web site, otherwise people can just save and print them.

Is there no end to your talents, Michael?! Incredible. You can draw, paint, sow, cook, play the piano, DIY, vlog/edit, do make up and hair etc.. And all of that on a really high level. It's a joy, watching you. Regards from The Netherlands!

What a blessed family to live, work, and play together! ❤

I'm glad you were able to get a website to sell your prints. You have such a talent! I'm sure it will be a success. I wonder if you might sketch Sadie's horses, Queenie and Elsa? That would be a great print. Look forward to your future art projects.

It would be beautiful if you did a storybook for Ernest and Archibald with some of your drawings Michael. Xx

Your Dad is my hero. Horse fences, cobblestones, and wall panelling. He is helping everyone! Your drawings are amazing, I hope you will be well rewarded for your artistic talent and enjoy much success.

I would like to see dear dad get help with his cottage.He's a good man and hard worker always helping others on there projects..

A suggestion for a print could be of the pony Elsa that lives at the Estate now. I know your viewers would love having a part of the Estate hanging in their homes.

After Billy cleans the chapel, like the beautiful chateau, the peach ,amber sunset glow on the chapel would be a lovely watercolour,just a suggestion! Maybe some daffodils in the foreground also would be stunning! Good job today,Michael.Love to see you paint!Art will never fail.

Your drawings and paintings are beautiful you are truly talented ❤️

Michael… Your paintings look great!!! How nice that you and Ryan were able to work together! I think you could write a book… the mouse that lived in the chateau! So excited for the progress in the gardener’s cottage! 💕

The website is beautiful and the artworks are charming, well done Michael. A Renaissance man you are, best wishes.

Michael please look into adding a digital watermark to your online prints and paintings to protect your art online. Beautiful work!

I cannot wait to see how you decorate upstairs. It's going to be awesome because you are so artistic. Glad to see movement and to see you on your own channel again. I know we all missed you.

Back to waiting for the Friday videos ... Wishing you nothing but success and happiness with the new adventure. Your paintings are amazing !

I’m so happy to have bought one of your prints Michael. It will hang in pride of place & I will treasure it ☺️ Its so wonderful to see you painting again. I loved watching you, you have an amazing talent 🥰 Little mouse wants to be sketched I think 😊 Ryan did a fantastic job on your website 👏

Dearest Michael, The Lord has blessed you. I am humbled to have eyesight to see the beauty of your work. May you and your loved ones be abundantly blessed in 2023. Respectfully , Jen

Michael, your brother and Ryan saw an antique light table in a brocante the other day...maybe get them to tell you about it.

My daughter loves foxes, however I did order the bee...but I'm coming back for the foxes for her room. Thank you again so much for sharing your gift with us again!

God bless your dad! He works harder than men half his age.

Oh such a cute little mouse, you must do a lovely sketch of him/her. Good luck Michael with everything you do. 😊🇬🇧

You are so lucky to have your dad helping with the restoration. Treasure those moments.

Your art is very nice - hope the website does really well and keeps you inspired. 😊

I’m so happy for you. Your artwork is amazing and I’m sure you will be successful with your sales.

All very best with you new venture Michael

There is no doubt that you have incredible artistic genes, Michael. Hopefully you enjoy the process, and get some satisfaction from your creations! We viewers certainly do ❤️

Micheal the paintings went in six seconds. Hope that this inspires you to paint more especially if it brings you joy.

Ordered all four as couldn’t decide! 😂 I think the three animal ones will go well together as a set! Thank you! Good luck! 💕

Michael - I loved seeing your drawing and painting process. I could watch for hours. If you sold blank notecards with a print of one of your animals on the front, I would love to buy a bunch of those. Just a thought as you expand your shop.

I love how you captured the youthful eyes of the fox kit. Beautiful work Michael!

Hi Michael from Florida love love your art ..you are so talented The background on your website would make great greeting cards and other papers. Great job..keep painting I really enjoyed this video.

Michael, I really want to see you do Stephanie's peacocks. Thor, especially. The colors would be brilliant and I would definitely buy one!

I wanted that mouse painting dang it. I think your little dog Bertie looks like a little fox lol. Love that Ryan is helping you out. Your Dad is a hard worker and adds a bit of humor too your videos lol. You are so talented Michael.

Don’t get overwhelmed when this explosion of sales takes off! Your amazing!

Michael! I knew from the first video where you were sketching the chateau in the yard that this is where you were headed! As a fellow artist only in acrylic, it’s nice to watch how someone does watercolor. I’m so excited to see where this takes you!

Your artistic talent is such a gift Michael. ❤️

The Web Site is beautiful!!!! Congrats to you and Ryan. Love from Vermont

Well done Michael and Ryan. Hope this makes you bucket loads of money. Can't wait to see loads more prints. Little Tommy Tittlemouse was gorgeous, please do a print of him! The chateau must give ample opportunities for your art work. The lake, the stream, the trees, the chateau, the chapel, stained glass windows, the main staircase, gardeners cottage, the blue and white china, the greenhouse and produce, your pets, the chickens, even dandelions and daisies would all make a great print. The front gates would be great too. Turn it into wrapping paper and birthday cards, also loads for Christmas! The opportunities are endless. I am so happy for you.

Beautiful foxes. Fascinating to watch the process.

Wonderful work Michael❣️Have you made sure the art work is un Copyable (?) copyrighted, so no one steels your images of your website. Get Ryan to fix the website so your images can’t be copied and pasted as I just did. !!!

Michael, your work is really beautiful!

The fellas upstairs sure know what they are doing! They're awesome! I really enjoyed watching you sketch and paint! Such a beautiful picture! Love from Vermont

Wishing you every success with the website, you are a very talented guy. Great seeing you get your creative spirit back.

I like your idea of doing the pencil drawings as well as the watercolors. Good Luck Michael.

❤️ Brilliant Michael ❤️ Your Artwork is fantastic, don’t under sell yourself, you are so talented, you inspire me and many others. Have confidence, we all need that, your artwork to so good. Look forward to seeing so much more. Good Luck with the new website and the gardeners cottage x x

Superb artwork Michael. This is what we love to see. Onwards and upwards from here . Well done!

Your cottage and the chateau would make lovely paintings Michael, also wild flowers, toadstools, ducks and chickens, even your front door, 😂 good luck with your new venture 🥰 nice work Ryan 🎉

Love the art! I recommend to send the print in a hard envelope for mailing art. If you don't the art will get bent and ruined.

Stephanie needs to buy the squirrel, every time I’ve ever seen it I immediately thought “That’s Stephanie”. ❤️

Lovely to see you being creative. Wishing you every success with your shop.

I want nothing more than to wallpaper my bedroom in your background artwork! Stunning.

Good to ser the progress micheal. Your father is awesome

That was so sweet when you helped the little mouse.

Nice website. Congrats! You might want to think of watermarking the images.

Michael, you are extremely talented! I started losing my eye sight 16 yrs ago. I was an artist, I loved to draw and paint, really any medium except charcoal. I’m living vicariously through you. I love new paper and pencils, the smell and feel brings back wonderful memories. Someone might need a go pro for Christmas. Or a bendable camera stand.

Your Dads amazing.!Michael.

I ordered a print. Good luck with the new venture!

Thank you for filming your painting process with watercolors! I started painting with acrylic two years ago and watercolor always daunted me. Now I'm inspired to try my hand at it!

Hi Michael, i hope you are well, I have missed your videos, please consider doing more i really enjoy watching you, you are inspirational and have helped me x

Loved seeing your painting technique…..

Really really like the art style, some day I'll get to buy one but not a this moment lol

God bless your dad, he works so hard. Your mum too lovely people!

Very interesting video. Loved it. I don't know what was more precious and cute,,,,you or that sweet little mouse!!

I love the foxes!!! Absolutely beautiful!!

Michael that’s beautiful and would love to see more of your art… your so talented

This is absolutely beautiful. You have amazing talent. What a gift Michael.

Congratulations on achieving one of your goals of creating and selling your talented artwork as well as the launch of your new website!

All four prints safely arrived today! Not a bent considering they travelled to Australia!!! 💕 I am framing all plus the thank you card too so it will look super cool as a set of 5 pieces together! ☀️

I received my bee print today! Love it ! 84/100. I will frame it and hang it in my clay studio for inspiration!

Congratulations, Michael, I'm super happy for you! I'm a water-color artist as well and what you've done with your art is inspiring. Here's to your continued success and motivation!🥂

Perhaps you could create a print of the cute little chateau mouse 🐹 💙

Yeah!!! Love seeing you, Michael! Awesome to see all the progress!

I usually just accidentally do it right. 😂 My mother was a wildlife artist and I only got 3 small slices of artistic genes. I sent you one of my cranes. They used to visit me in the winter and spring and come close so I could feed them. I painted for about 2 years and it’s escaped me how to do it again. Maybe when the weather is better I can sit on the porch and paint again. Adorable wee mouse. I’m surprised it let you handle it. Maybe hungry, thirsty or sick.

Exciting project Michael and great to see you all working as a team. Absolute magic.

Talented!! I'm in awe!

So beautiful to see you painting, they're just so gorgeous 💖

Thank you! I've seen several how-to on line painting courses, and you've just given us as much as they did, faster, and for free. You are a natural teacher. :)

Michael I just ordered the crown I'm going to put it in my Paris bathroom I need a little London in there lol much love from Oklahoma USA Jackie 🇺🇸💖

So glad you are drawing again. You have an amazing talent
