I am just starting watercolours and like how you filmed your process-and your video edits! Hehe.
AND I took advantage of your Skillshare offer, too.
Cheers, from Toronto
P.S.- Thanks for all the watercolour links! You have saved ME time for more painting!
Thankyou Louise that was so enjoyable to watch on this 38 deg day which is just not condusive to any kind of painting. I'd love to see you do more drawing, its so important to get it right before painting..I dont use computers or change things (but of course thats my choice, we are all different), I just like to paint the photo as it comes out. Is it possible for you to do some demo on wrinkles and folds at some stage please or do you have to be on Patreon to make requests? Its a shame you dont get quality painting time its what you are all about. Please dont give up TH-cam....and if you ever give up painting (as if!!!) you would make an awesome comedien...you have me in stitches sometimes and my hubby tells me I dont have a sense of humour....well lady all I can say is you make my day. Thank you 🤗🥰🤗
Great graphite study works wonders enhancing watercolor painting !
I just love how the painting is informed by the pencil study, it perfectly reflects that gorgeous soft quality. I’m really inspired to try this. Thank you so much Louise, stunning work as always
Beautiful Wren……..Bring on the cuddle study😌
Beautiful Louise!!! What a lovely little wren... both of them! I don’t know which one I like better, they are both fabulous!
Thanks so much Caryn. 😊
This is just lovely! Thank you for the step by step and showing how the value study added to the result. I might try a line and wash-merging the two! ❤️
Once again. . . a Masterpiece! I love it💕
Thanks Donna. 💕
What a stunning wren painting. I love the graphite version, too. But, oh the many tones or blue, gray and brown in that birdie! I could look at it forever! ❤️
Thank you! Love Love Love this little wren!! Please oh please do a patreon lesson..
Will do! Thank you! 💕
Stunning as always. Both the study and the painting are gorgeous. Thank you so much for explaining your grey made with Prussian blue and your brown. I haven't used grey paint since. ❤
You are so welcome! Thank you.
What a great tutorial. Thank you. Your painting is exquisite.🇨🇦
Hi Louise I'm waiting for your video 😀
Thanks Yamini.
You are the only artist who gets the details!!!!
Wonderful lesson. Your voice is just so comforting! Thank you! The wren is beautiful.
Do you trace the graphite from your black and white print?
Very pretty painting, I love the soft colours.
This was so helpful to me, as I'm painting a slate-colored junco. Painting every other feather so as not to disturb the one just painted is a great tip! Thank you Louise!
Left skillshare and cannot recommend.
Sooo useful exercise n so beautiful bird also.your videos for beginners are also so helpful to learn basics.Hearty thanks from my side.I am learning so much 🙏
I'm glad. Thank you!
Dankjewel voor al je prachtige video's. Ik heb er al veel van geleerd.
I was wondering is there any were I can look to see what your students have painted.
This is beautiful beyond words. I’m gonna give it a try love love the feather techniques.
After watching your videos and explanations I started painting using watercolor. I'm still learning a lot from you.
The explanations in this tutorial gave a new knowledge of mixing and using grey .Thanks a lot ma'am. 😄
Wonderful! Thank you Amshu.
Dont you have to erase your pencil lines or is it ok to leave them in?
☺️beautiful painting talent
I need a cuddle study too please.
This is a beautiful painting. Thank you for all your work and explaining process so well, and all your work with making a video!
My pleasure 😊. Thank you!
Absolutely lovely
Stunning as usual. I feel I can touch those beautiful feathers. It seems you work a lot for your beautiful art and sharing it for us to enjoy.
Thank you very much Vivian.
Lovely video as always, Louise, thank you! I think a "cuddle study" sounds like fun :) When you do your sketches, do you trace any outlines from the photo to get started, or do you simply observe the image and work freehand to reproduce it as a drawing? Sketching like that is another unique talent which must take quite some time to develop!
Hi Lydia, Thank you very much. A cuddle study does sound like fun! I work free hand when I do a drawing like this because I enjoy drawing and I need to continually sharpen my drawing skills. I find if I stop drawing for a while it takes some time to get back to my usual standard. It's a bit like exercising - if I stop - I become unfit quickly.
Thank you Louise, I love this little wren! ...I did have a Skillshare subscription but I cancelled it as I ‘didn’t have time for the classes! 😂 perhaps I need to re think! Have a great weekend x😉💕
Thanks Sarah. I find I waste too much time on other unimportant stuff - lol......I'm sure most of us do that. You have a lovely weekend too. 😘
Very beautiful. The feathers look so fluffy 😍... The study suggestion is very helpful... Thanks Louise
Louise, would you share the size of the 35 Series Paint Brush? I’m seeing this listed as a Round Long Taper.
Thank you so much for sharing your skills and work! You are my favorite watercolor artist. Such gorgeous work, and your out takes are so funny and add such a personal touch to your videos. Just top notch all the way around.
Beautiful!!! Qué hermoso pinta usted! No he visto pinturas más hermosas en acuarela. Mil felicitaciones. Dios la bendiga y que siga haciendo cuadros tan preciosos.
Great video as usual! Thank you so much for your hard work!
On a different note... I love your make up :D
So beautiful Louise! Your technique is amazing!
cool, ... Very inspiring for my content....👍👍👍
This video is great timing for me because I happen to be taking a drawing course which talks about the graphite. Thanks so much for this video!
How can I buy that painting ?
Hi Cecilia, It's on my website here: www.louisedemasi.com/originals/wren
lol I love your blooper bits at the end as they never fail to make me laugh. You are so calm when you bloop! lol I signed up for Skill Share and look forward to your classes there. Thank you for the gift!
You are so sweet , I learned so much from this video , thank you
A cuddle study sounds fun!😄 You are as awesome with the charcoal as the watercolor❤️
Lovely painting and sketch. This is a great lesson and I love the color palette.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing.
Some good tips here. Thank you!
Love it!!! Great job Louise!
It's always a pleasure watching your unique talent on display. Thank You.
Thanks very much.
Hi Louise wonderful as always. Would you consider doing a painting of some Gouldian Finches? I struggle with showing their size, the are the most amazing little birds.
Great suggestion! Thanks Carol. I have painted them once before I think.
Hello Louise
I’m watched all of videos again and again
And I always learn something new😋
I would like to ask you,instead of Persian blue can we use indigo?
Thank you!
Yes you can! Thank you.
Another highly instructive video! I can see how this idea can help you plan layouts before committing to your paintings. Thanks for such a useful suggestion!
My pleasure. Thank you!
Fantastic tutorial Louise. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks Bruce.
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you!
The painting is so beautiful and the colours🙂
Thanks very much Jason.
As always, very informative. :)
Glad you think so! Thank you Don.
Using a graphite rendering makes sense now. I so enjoy your videos. You're so talented and so hilarious! We need to not get super serious, it takes the fun out of our life and that's tragic
Thanks Andrea. 😘
Waouh, j'adore le dessin aux graphites et j'adore l'aquarelle!
Merci. 💕
The Best! Super!🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Thank you!
Graphite is where I started my artistic journey so will definitely give this a go x
Thanks Karen....me too. I'm enjoying drawing again. I forgot how meditative it is......it puts me in my zen mode. 🥰
@@LouiseDeMasi me too. It was extremely therapeutic for me during the intense phase of grief after my daughter passed away. When I look back it was how I developed my skill fine detailing 😀
@@karenfinneganart2480 Oh Karen, I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't even begin to imagine how difficult that was for you. Huge hugs. 🥰
@@LouiseDeMasi yes it was however Erin was an artist and I paint with her paints and her brushes which is so very comforting. My art brings me joy and your lessons and beautiful calming voice (and your humour in the bloopers) are a great part of that. Its been 11 years and I am at peace with my life. Thank you for being such a positive contribution. X
@@karenfinneganart2480 That's beautiful. Thank you so much. My daughter's name is Erin. ❤️
