    This technique is so awesome! I feel like even as a beginner i can vastly improve my paintings doing this. I’ve started working on birds recently and my latest attempt only has the background wash so this is perfect for me to practice. I’ve just been randomly browsing various watercolor videos so I’m happy I chose this one before I got started on the body! Thanks so much for your helpful instruction 😀

  • @gillianbc
    @gillianbc 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent - I have seen many negative painting videos that demonstrate how to do it, but with no context. Yours is one of the best examples I've seen of where this technique is useful. Watercolour gives a beautiful subtle effect to those feathers that would be hard to achieve in any other medium. Well done, Louise and thank you for sharing.

    Hello Louise, im an Ozzi woman living in Switzerland, im a watercolourist and a lover of Aust.birds, how happy I was to discover your wonderful instructive video! Your paintings are so beautiful! Im going to get cracking now and try out your examples...by the way you dont call it arches paper like its written and the Ozis say it, it is pronounced Arsh.....thank you for the much appreciated instruction!

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Robyn, Thank you very much! What a lovely place to live. I thought I did pronounce it Arshes ....it must be my accent and not saying it clear enough. I used to call it Arches but one day a few years ago I went into an art supply shop in Sydney and I the shop attendant was calling it Arshes. He told me that was how you pronounced it. So I've been trying to remember ever since 💙.

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Robyn, I hope you can help me. I've just read your comment again and I've been thinking about how the shop attendant said the word Arsh- he didn't add the 'es' on the end. I remember now! So can you tell me when you say Arshes do you leave the 'es' off the end? Thank you!

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you Mary! I completed one year at art school but I had to leave because of money problems. I taught acrylic painting classes for 10 years to adults and then I decided I wanted to become a school teacher so I went off to university to get a degree. I taught in Primary schools (elementary) here in Australia. My kids loved doing art with me. 💕

I especially love the small detail brush you're using at 5:35. It looks like such a perfect size detail brush and I love the extremely fine point. I'd love to know what brush that is. :) :) Thank you!
