The loss of Charles Reid has been hard. To study under him was indeed a blessing. He is a true master of both oil and watercolor. He was very kind and an awesome teacher. I´ve got all his books and DVDs. He kindly signed many of them, when I would bring them to his workshops. His unique, watercolor style, is what drew me to him.

Yes we all miss Charles. In fact as you said, I just used one of his books for a portrait I was doing, a great reference.

So sad when I heard about your passing Mr. Reid. So sorry it took me this long to write this. I have followed you and your work with all of your books. Even today I use different pages for help and reference in my paintings. Painting Flowers in Watercolor is a favorite. I never met you but I know that you were guiding me with your books. Sail on dear artist, I will never forget you.

I just found out about Mr. Reid's death. So sorry for your loss. I learned so much from him through his books and videos, more than anyone else even still, all these years later. I was so sad to hear of his death. He continues to inspire me and my work. Shirley Bell
