清华大学高冬教授对田宇高先生的水彩画评价是“田宇高先生的作品题材较为广泛，画家陶醉于它关注的自然变化：春、夏、秋、冬，风、晴、雨、雾无不收入画幅，成为绘画表现的题材，而研究用色彩表达自然的万千变化，是水彩画的擅长，在微妙的灰色调中如何使色彩饱满、丰富，表现内心的丰富情感，经过多年的探索，反复尝试终于可以运用水彩特有的表现力，运用色彩和造型的手法，表达出对自然的感受。”
中国美术家协会水彩艺术委员会主任黄铁山教授感慨：“先生的画品人品，确是我辈楷模。先生的水彩画，扎根于生活，是作者真诚的感受，朴实、自然、耐人寻味；先生的水彩画最鲜明地体现了水彩画的特色，透明、轻快，色彩很美，画得洒脱自如，技法娴熟，对我们是非常有学习借鉴意义的。”
著名水彩画家张举毅教授来信提到“先生一生勤耕水彩艺术，实为我辈楷模。先生的画生活气息浓，这就使观者有一种感情上的呼应，这是很难的，再则先生特别考究水彩本身的语言艺术，始终保持着一种清丽爽目的视觉效果，这是目前很多以做工见长的人是难能体会的，先生以耄耋之年仍能保持洒脱轻松的水色情韵诚然不易。”
著名水彩画家白统绪认为先生的“作品都是真情实感的自然流露，朴实大方、气质高雅、画得率真、随意、清新明快、赏心悦目、用笔苍劲老辣、气丰韵足，充分发扬了水彩画的特长，很多佳作都是写生得来的，往往比室内闭门造车来得更生动更有生气，既有英国传统水彩画的修养，又有浓厚的生活气息。”
著名水彩画家崔豫章教授看了先生的作品感慨万分：“他的足迹遍及全国各地名山大川，描写了很多美丽风光，山村野径、江河秋林、冬雪晨雾、民族风情、树皮屋、石板房等等不少杰作都给我们宁静优美宜人的享受，他的勤奋求索钻研精神结出了累累硕果。”
原中央工艺美术学院院长张仃和著名西方美术史专家、著名美术评论家吴甲丰看了田宇高先生的作品，十分感动，张仃先生连连说：“好！好！好！这个人的功力很深、很踏实、很纯熟、难得难得！”吴甲丰先生又说：“他的画很有生活，很有底子，画得这样好不该埋没。”张仃先生主动题字“气象浑穆、厚积薄发”称赞田宇高先生作品。[1]
