I'm only a couple of videos into your library, but I just wanted to thank you for creating tutorials that actually teach. I feel I've learnt more from watching two of your videos than I've learnt from countless others. Beautiful painting!
Louise, this rose is so gorgeous. Thank you for all the detailed information. You are the very best teacher I have yet watched. Love your tutorials. Helene
Your presentation on your work material for each painting is outstanding. I have made my own light system to copy your detailed pages. I also used insulation board to tape my wet pages to dry. This method work pretty good for now just starting to paint. Finished my first painting-Dark Piink Rose Watercolor. It was a challenge for my 1st time painting. Your TIPS help too. So happy to found you. I will definitely give your name for credit on these beautiful paintings. Looking forward to the next. K from St.Louis, MO USA
Beautiful...I would have never thought you could drop in some blue to make the petals darker. Thank you for teach us how to layer the colors from very pale washes to darker colors for shading. It really separates each petal !
Thank you so much Louise for sharing another one of your beautiful paintings with us. I am a hobby artist and love using opera rose and also bright violet by Holbein. Both are fugitive colours but I love them and nothing else compares. I agree that it is wrong when artists sell originals using these colours but there are others like you who are ethical and do not. However I really could not mix the colours I do without these 2 shades. I know that poor Anna Mason was criticized so much about using these 2 colours she stopped. I too wish companies would make these colours to be lightfast but so far they have not seemed to be able to. Hopefully this will change in the future😀💕
I would love it if you would do a tutorial on a white fur dog . I really appreciate your way of explaining how to do every detail and especially find your voice very soothing. Your paintings are just lovely. Thank you for time.
Wish I could afford your Patreon, but even so, I have learned so much about watercolor painting just from watching your videos here. You are a very skilled artist and I appreciate you sharing your expertise with lil ol' me!
Wonderful, fabulous, beautiful, I can’t wait to finish my Anna Mason membership and move on to your Patreon. For now I have to practice patience and keep watching your tutorials on Utube. Thank you for sharing ❤️
Speechless (once more). Too complicated for me to try it, but wonderful to watch. So precise and delicate. There's just no doubt you are a wonderful lady to those around you in your day to day life_
Just mesmerized watching you paint. Love your method and the results. I may have missed it at some point in your videos, but I was wondering if you paint flat or at an angle? Most of the time I mean. We all move our work around a wee bit....
This is beautiful Louise! I love watching you paint- I’ve never painted on heavier arches paper.. this looks quite textured for hot pressed? Thank you for the tutorial 😊💜
Hi Sarah. Thank you very much. I like the heavier paper becaue I don't have to stretch it if I'm not working too wet. It's quite smooth in comparison to the cold pressed. 💕
I love your work, and I am so glad you share your tutorials with us. However, I would love for artists who choose to use the highly fugitive Opera Rose to explain why they are making this choice. I don't mean to be challenging, just trying to clear up my confusion. Although I love Opera, I gave up using it because I didn't think it would be fair to anyone purchasing my work, but I still see professional artists using Opera liberally, knowing that their work will surely turn brownish with time, just like it did with Alizarin Crimson, which nearly every artist has given up using. So why not give up Opera. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this if possible. Is it okay to use it?
Thank you! I love it too. If you know of a colour that's similar but isn't fugitive let me know. I don't use Opera Rose on any painting I would sell the original of because I am unsure of how much it would fade. This particular painting sits in a box at home. I sell prints of the painting. Any watercolour paintings I hang myself at home I hang on the wall away from direct sunlight to prevent them from fading. I'm thinking I should get this one framed, hang it on a wall away from direct light and see if it fades over time. Then I'll know from experience how to advise people. 😊
I appreciate your thoughtful reply. I respect that you only sell prints from paintings using fugitive pigments. I know a few professional artists who use it and never make prints of their work but sell only originals. What an excellent idea to hang a painting using Opera in your own home to monitor the changes. I would love to know the outcome of such an experiment over time.
I agree absolutely, Eirenmist. And Louise, if I had your talent, I’d never risk it on a beautiful piece like this. I know roses fade and go brown in real life, but what a shame when the painting does too! I can’t help feeling that using known fugitive pigments encourages others (who do sell originals) to keep using it. I appreciate you do the right thing with selling only prints, but teaching elevates you beyond selling, to being a role-model for others. If everyone stops buying Opera Rose, I guess manufacturers will be more motivated to find lightfast alternatives? I can’t wait until they do!
wow thank you for really teaching. In 15 minutes i learned so much about how to actually shade the correct way
I absolutely adore your painting style and knowledge of watercolor. I am learning so much from you. Thank you!

It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, great uses of blending, colour choice and a keen eye for detail!
Thank you Don. I'm grateful you said it 😝.
Bautiful
Gorgeous! I love roses so I will definitely try this one. What size is this? It looks really big.
This is beautiful Louise! I love watching you paint- I’ve never painted on heavier arches paper.. this looks quite textured for hot pressed? Thank you for the tutorial 😊💜
