Can I just say that one of the reasons I absolutely ADORE you and your videos is that you always say WHEN you're applying another layer i.e. wet on wet, wet on damp. Thank you so much for helping me understand watercolors more.
Thank you for showing your journey here. I'm prone to perfectionistic thinking: if it's not perfect, I've failed. This is never a helpful way to learn a skill, so it's really wonderful to see how you've been challenging yourself and the ways you have improved.
This is why it’s so important to finish a painting even when it looks weird. There was a stage in there where I probably would have thought it would turn out horribly, but then, like magic, it turned out beautiful!
Thanks for explaining so clearly and showing your paints when you mix them- and for the bloopers!! :) I love your technique and how gently you speak- thanks again:)
I am working on drawing eyes in graphite. It's not as easy as it looks, especially drawing the left and right eyes. Your video is inspiring. Thank you!
Amazing !! So excited as ever - to see the full tutorial on Patreon! (Although this is already so incredibly helpful) As well as looking forward to watching your journey and learning on portraits in general! Thank you so much :)
I love your “eye” Louise! They are definitely difficult to paint in watercolor, but as usual your study has turned out perfectly! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us!
Louise, you make me laugh with the faces you make in your bloopers! I know how difficult it is to transition from painting animals/botanicals to painting humans, where precision is far more important, but WOW, I think you did a fantastic job with 'the toddler'! I look forward to seeing these lessons on your very much enjoyed Patreon channel!
Truly enjoy your videos! Easy to follow and understand, I learn so much from your demos. And I laugh at your outtakes. You're probably the best teacher I've ever had, and that's over a long period of time. (I received my BFA in graphic design in 1969.)
You are truly amazing, the painted eye is just incredible! I love all your videos. Also you are just so sweet when you do the bloopers, you make me laugh every time 🤣. Cheers 😊💕😍🥰❤️😘
Thanks SO much for this video - I've been wanting to learn more about painting eyes. Your teaching style is very clear and precise - as usual, you are an excellent instructor!
Thank you Louise for this video . You encourage me for going outside my comfort zone and try other style of painting. You are an inspiration to me. Take care from Canada 😘
Such a beautiful eye! Thank you so much for this one. I struggle with eyes and this has helped a lot. I love your detailed explanations and can't wait to see this on Patreon. Your "bloopers" at the end are just icing on top of your marvelous work!
Louise, I love your style, both your painting style, and your teaching style. You simplify your steps without too many words, and really let your hands and paintbrushes do the talking. You have inspired me to break out of my comfort zone, and try something more difficult, like eyes. I love your videos.. Thank you!
Beautiful eye, and what an eye for detail you have, as usual (sorry)! Can't wait for the full tutorial on Patreon with lots and lots of your usual FULL instruction like no one else can do! BEST WATERCOLOR TEACHER out there, girl, and your growing list of grateful students love and appreciate you!
Well, I for one will be "keeping an eye out" for future postings. It''s a testament to your talent that You are finding a comfort level in the figurative paintings that you have in your wildlife and botanical painting.
Louise my Dear , you are a Peach ! You always make my Friday brighter , with a lesson and a smile. Eye love it & looking forward to more of your Wonder x
I am so so happy to watch this eye tutorial from you my great teacher.After learning birds n flowers,now human body parts.......just woww.Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Beautiful eye, and fun bloopers. Your toddler on the beach is precious and perfect, too. Thanks, Louise - looking forward to seeing these on Patreon. btw, it just occurred to me, you haven't said anything more about the lightning-flash effect in your own eyes, I hope that's all over with. You are so acute in your observations of light and colors, it's essential that your own eyes function as perfectly as ever.
Thanks so much Lydia. I'm not getting so many lightning flashes now but I've got a large floater that runs down the side of my eye. The optometrist said she could see it too when she looked inside. It doesn't bother me when I'm working inside. I notice it when I go outside in the bright light. It will pass eventually. It make take a while though. Thank you for checking on me. 💕😊
hello, i am new here. i am glad that i find you on the youtube chanel. i love the way you explain (your tone, and you speake gently )and the end of your tutorial made me laugh. thank you for sharing your knowledge. you are amazing and make beautifull art. i admire you. what is the best brand of paint, because i am a beginner in watercolor. thank you again.
Your painting technique and artistry are exquisite Louise, do you always use the same brand watercolours - and brushes? You have the colour mixing down to a fine art in itself: I don't see how you could improve on what you do . . . it is as near to perfection as is possible!
Hi Nettie. Thank you very much. I try to use Winsor and Newton paints and Da Vinci Maestro brushes as much as possible so that my patrons have some consistency.

One little thing I learned about painting eyes. Under the top lashes the eye has a shadow. It gives it more depth. I am passing this on to you.
Thank you-so instructive.
