November seemed to fly by this year on a fast downhill to December. We hope all of you enjoyed a yummy Thanksgiving dinner and maybe a little football. We have so much to be thankful for and it’s good to count our blessings at least once a year.
Because we gave some special love to our Patrons this month, we posted just two videos for all viewers on YouTube for the month of November 2022, here’s the list of links to them both.
For you Patrons, we did something special to kick off the month of November. We provided several helpful videos just for you. Make sure you check them out (only accessible if you’re a patron). If you’ve not joined Patreon yet, please consider supporting this channel and receiving additional, helpful content.
Realistic Tree Bark & Simplifying Overwhelming Complexity. Tree Detail in Watercolor
Adding lots of tiny, granular details to your painting won’t make it more realistic. In fact, you’re more likely to make a painting look convincingly realistic by simplifying the subject and choosing the right details and values. Let’s look at how I did that in this watercolor of a complex tree limb.

Patreon Exclusive Content
This year we designated the first week of November as Patron Appreciation Week. We can’t express how grateful we are for your continued support of The Mind of Watercolor. It’s because of you that we’re able to continue making these fun and helpful videos.

Getting the monthly recaps but not the posts when just created, I just check over the weekend and pick up any new ones. It’s not just yours, I subscribe to 4, and I have checked my settings, etc. Anyway, Happy New year and many thanks for everything you do!

Hi Steve, how are you? Thank you so much for all your effort, it is really appreciated down here in Australia. We have some fantastic artists here in Australia but access in this large land space is greatly appreciated when it is available via internet. While I would love to become a ‘Patreon’, I just can’t justify the monthly amount at the level I would be interested in, especially given the low Aussie $ exchange rate. So for the time being I will continue to enjoy your YouTube content and draw information and inspiration from this source. I thank you for your time and effort, your quirky sense of humour and the wealth of resources that you share including the scriptures at the end of the session. Take care, Leah
