I helped my husband Dom, a complete beginner, paint a wren in watercolour and in turn he helped me learn a few things.

Great offer! Signed up and THANK YOU!
Thanks for sharing this link with us!
I’m excited to see your tutorials on brush control. I can really use that.
Thanks, interested in your courses, as well as landscapes !🤗
This was a fantastic idea. Please let Dom know how very much his painting has inspired me. His first painting is awesome! Congratulations 🎊
Wow, painting under scrutiny is not easy, overcoming the fear of the clean page can be daunting. So Dom's painting was bravely approached. A piece he can be proud of. I would love to see more of his creative journey.
First, let me say that your hair looks FABULOUS!! Second, this video showcases exactly why you are such a great instructor! I also appreciate Dom's efforts, (which are amazing for a first wc painting). This video not only helps you learn how to be a better teacher, it helps your students relate and identify some of the frustrating things about learning wc . Excellent video and can't wait for the ones that this one generates!! Thank you.
Both birds are beautiful. You're a great teacher. Your husband has hidden talents. I hope you both had fun doing this challenging first project. I'm looking forward to the brush control video. 😊
If I may say so I prefer Don's bolder colours annd harder lines, but that's personal preference of course. I don't think watercolour always has to be soft to be beautiful. It's nice to see different styles😊.
Oh to say this video was beyond informative is an UNDERSTATEMENT! This video has taught me MORE in 15mins than Ive achieved in 15 years. “Standing clap ovation” thank you Louise & Dom on this one. Thank you so much for sharing this.
What a beautiful video! Dom's struggles and awkwardness are so relatable, though. Brush control, water control, intensity of colours - I feel you, Dom. Can't wait to see what tutorials you come up with next, Louise! And how cheeky and fun is Leo
I am in awe. For a very beginner, hubby did a fantastic job. Having you give him direct instructions helped me. Watching you analyze and describe what was giving him problems and what he could do to fix these problems, was the most helpful video I have ever seen! I see this type of video, where you work along side someone, would be so helpful, so valuable. Seeing you react and correct problems is something that would be awesome. Many times we look at our results and know they aren't what we wanted but don't know why. As you talked hubby through his painting while showing us your work was one of the best learning tutorials I've seen. I was able to really 'see' what you mean when you teach. What you teach and what my hands are doing. I know the terminology but haven't put brush to paper. Im trying to make an educated decision and purchase some beginning paint that's worth the cost. I wish I could sit by your side a few times. After watching, I've felt my spirits jump. I think you seeing what was hindering him and setting him back on the correct path, even if awkwardly, was eye-opening. Thank you for this video.
This makes me think that perhaps you and Dom can do more videos together, Louise. As you instruct, he paints and you correct, we all stand to learn!
Ohh Louise this was a huge help & eye opener for me personally! This was a wonderful valuable informational video to help me with my brush control. While watching both you & Dom painting, I realized why some of my painting results look they way they do & why I was struggling with some things in my paintings. While I am no longer a beginner like Dom, I find that I do some things still like him when painting certain parts like the tail feathers. I’ve been painting for 4 years now and I am definitely in need of more videos of brush control. I never thought of brush control being a factor like water control. Dom did a wonderful job with painting the fairy wren & I don’t think I could have picked out which one he did if I had to choose before watching the video. Thanks so much for sharing this video of both of you painting this fairy wren. I really appreciate your explanation & showing how brush control matters equally with water control. I am super excited to see your future videos on this subject. Thanks again & have a lovely weekend! 💕😘
I look forward to your video on holding the brush under various circumstances. As a self-learner that's a skill I know I'm lacking. Thanks for all you do, Louise.🙋🏼♀️🦋🌸
Omg brush holding. Wow. I needed to see the difference and as a beginner I couldn’t have done as well as Dom. Thank both of you
Your hair looks so pretty.
Hi Louise, first I want to say that Dom did very well for his first attempt at painting with watercolour. He has the very best teacher to learn and how lucky he is to have Louise. The technique on how to hold the brush is amazing and so Important. I really look forward to your tutorial on that technique. Thank you Louise. ❤Helene
This was one of my favorite videos of yours! Dom looked more like a pro than I did when I first stared. I could always draw because I liked to draw but to transfer the information needed into color was much harder than I imagined. Controlling the brush and the color adds so much more than just drawing a realistic image.(in my experience) This was great to watch!
Wow your husband is very talented. 👏👏👏
Quelle merveilleuse idée que de mettre Dom à peindre bravo Dom et un grand bravo pour vous louise vous êtes un excellent professeur et Dom à beaucoup de chance de vous avoir à ces côté bravo à vous deux vous êtes adorables 😅 magnifique j'adore ❤
Dom, did a fantastic job for a first time beginner!
Boy, he did a lot better than I would.😊
Leo is good!🐾
What a good sport Dom is! Great husband!!
What an interesting experiment. Dom did amazing but I definitely saw myself when I started in some of what he was doing. Brush control tutorials would be helpful for sure! Thanks!
I think Dom did brilliantly. I’ve been teaching my 8 year old grandson how to paint and he’s doing really well but I’m learning through teaching him too!
Dom, you did a fabulous job for your first watercolor. Wow! Good job! It's much better than my first painting.
The content of brush control is great, I agree with everyone. As important though, is the recording of audio and video... it's so helpful to see the side by side, the quiet explanations without too many words to muddy the meaning. Your video and audio work are outstanding. And so is your teaching!
This one is great !when a spouse gets the chance to see what the other half is putting their time and effort in is awesome
Great to see how another beginner goes about following your instructions. Lovely to see and to learn from how he goes about his first paintings.
Oh wow! I did not expect this video turning into a brush control video, but it is excellent observation. Holding your brush, like holding any tools for creative or other purposes is a very important thing to learn!
I think Dom did a superb job! His wren looks fantastic, I couldn’t have done it better as a beginner myself.
You are a great teacher, Louise and it’s great you have now seen things you wouldn’t think of yourself as a professional. We can all learn so much from you!
Totally unrelated but I love your hair ❤
He did an amazing job!
This Is So COOL! it actually made me want to try birds (I've been reluctant).. I thought, hey if Dom can do it, so can I 😂😂😂 I think his bird is fantastic btw no caveats needed. I love that he didn't overwork it (probably due to having a personal tutor😉) well done.
I saw the conversation with Dom on Patrion about him doing one of your tutorials and wondered what he would come up with. His attempt worked out really well!! (He had the best teacher, but I think he's also willing to learn what helps a lot.) Such a wonderful explanation for us to learn about using our brushes. Thank you both, Louise and Dom!
What a wonderful job Dom has done and how very instructive this tutorial is on how to angle the brush and use the arm as leverage to steady the hand. Thank you both for generously sharing this learning process. I remember how after doing lots of carpentry and chopping up firewood over some months how holding a pen or pencil or little paint brush felt extremely awkward. It took a while for the fine motor skills to come back on line, because the arm and hand were so used to doing heavier stuff. It can be a fairly frustrating experience that takes a whole lot of patience with oneself. Kudos to Dom for doing such fine work so early in the process, and to you for showing such understanding and patience. You both demonstrate a winning working relationship that is a great example for all of us.
great work Dom!. lovely painting and great teaching as always Louise
Thank you Louise and Dom 🙏🎨👍 Great teaching video.
Dear Louise, you can see how excellent teacher you are, and of course, Dom is excellent pupil.
He did very well!!!
I fell in love with your teaching of watercolor a long time ago. Dom did a wonderful job for his first time! I also want to tell you how much I love your hair style. It's beautiful!!❤️
So interesting about the importance of anchoring your hand on the paper. My grandchildren find this most challenging (ages 4 to 9).
A fascinating exercise and Dom did a great job. I does show though that an accurate original drawing goes a long way to a very good finished result ... that and having an excellent teacher sitting a long side of you 😅. Thank you for posting.
Wow he did really good!!! You’re a great teacher too
He did so well. What an interesting experiment.
What an amazingly effective way of demonstrating what a person can do with some instruction. Awesome.
Yay, Dom! I would love to know what he thought of the process and the painting.
How much fun this would be to have a husband painting along with you! Thank you for sharing this.
I had to smile as I watched Dom repeat the many "variations" I used at times during my journey.
Both are beautiful , great job Dom ! Way to go Louise , you’re a wonderful teacher ! I also follow you on Skillshare , you’ve taught me so much , thank you !!!
The outtakes are like a fine dessert 😂❤
Move over Louise! He'll be hooked before he knows:) great job Dom!
Lol...LEO, so adorable!! I wouldn't be able to not notice him, his tactical skills of that paper square were awesome 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤
Well done Dom..... and thank you both of you, really helpful video to us beginners, please can we have more of this x
I think Dom did brilliantly! What a great idea to get Dom to do a painting too. I learned a lot from this process.
Dom did such a good job! I can’t believe he has never painted before. Obviously, I can see that he’s more of a beginner, but he really surprised me.
I feel as though I’ve gotten a lot better at painting, but holding my brush securely and comfortably is still challenging. I have some arthritis in my hands, and I tend to grip my brush too tightly, which makes it worse. When I watch how confidently you use your brush, I keep wondering what I can do to make it easier for me.
Interesting. I have been so fascinated with Louise's brush strokes. This video reinforces that.
He did so well because of the help and inspiration from that cute cat.
Really interesting! Thanks to Dom for his willingness to try and on camera, and to kitten for all-purpose general helpfulness! Well done to both! Looking forward to vids on brush control when you get there!
This was great! Dom's a sport. Great job Dom! Louise, I look forward to all your tutorials. Thank you so much.
I think Dom did a fantastic job of painting his first watercolour, well done Dom! Thank you Louise for being such an amazing teacher and sharing all your tips with us, you are so appreciated ❤
That was great! He did really good! And he’s got a good teacher.
Loved this video! Perfect timing too with me teaching my beginner class. I loved everything you had to say and will help me help my students too! I direct them to you all the time! Dom did a great job for first time painting! I have to admit I felt his awkwardness with holding the brush right through the screen! It made me remember how I need to remember how that feels as brushes are an extension of my hand after many years of playing. I encourage my students to play with their brushes to see what they can do as brush skills equally important for success and confidence. I look forward to your brush skills videos too! Thank you for pointing out that Dom did NOT anchor his hand…. Instinctive for me… going to make sure I teach that! You are a blessing. Love your sharing, love the cat! And love the hair….had to say it 😂😂.
For a beginner, his painting is great! Tell Dom, "good work!" A lot of those things come with practice. I find that doing several variations of the same thing right in a row helps me to perfect the techniques. (if that makes sense)
Way to go, Dom! That really was a challenging painting for a beginner. Dom must have felt a lot of pressure doing this.
They are both really beautiful. He did such a great job (for a newbie!) Well done!
Great video Louise, it also highlights the fact that when we are learning online there is no feedback on our ‘bad habits’. ❤
Well done, Dom!
Dom did a really good job for a beginner! WOW! I also think this highlights your skills for teaching watercolor painting and shows how important it is to find a good watercolor teacher to learn from.
Well done Dom! I think your first painting is a huge success. I'm sure there are transferable skills having been a builder. Hope you enjoyed doing the painting Dom. Great idea Louise to do this video.
He did a great job! And your observations will help me a lot going forth, thank you!
Thank you for the great video Louise! I think it’s important to have people who have no experience test out instructions. No matter what the subject. When you know enough to teach it, a lot of things are so natural we don’t even think about them. The brush control and stiffness are things that I’ve struggled with. I feel like I just can’t do it with the flow that the instructor is demonstrating. And then I figure I’m just not good at it and give up.
Dom did absolutely wonderful! the thing with Louise is that her teaching allows people to be successful. I have made at least 10 paintings from her tutorials and they offer success when I might not otherwise experienced. Thank you for that! This video was fascinating to me and such a good idea. It was cool that Dom's style was pointed out but look at his painting! Thank you both for your genuine share, as a new painter I really appreciate this, and learned a lot too. As a beginner I can't really tell where I am being awkward. I just follow the instructions of the best teacher I know....Louise De Masi. Many thanks to you both.
I found the comments on brush control very helpful.
Honestly, very well done as a beginner!
The cat is adorable and just wants to be involved.😊
Funny I came across this, I’m trying to get my husband to try watercolor painting. He’s not a painter at all, so I’m not holding my breath that he’ll give it a go.
BRAVO DOM! You did a really good Job!
Yeah Dom! He really did well and Louise you are an excellant teachrr!
What a great video! Fun and helpful.
Dom, thank you for doing this cool video with Louise!! I learned much from it and realized some things I need to focus more on. Your painting is fantastic!
Well done, Dom!!! You have the best teacher.
Amazing demo...excellent results...well done DOM....welcome to enchanting world of art...Enjoy yourself
I loved your hairstyle!
I look forward to the tutorial on how to hold the brush! I hope you'll post them in Patreon. That has been a struggle for me too as have only learned from videos, and it's difficult to really see what the position should be. The remark about confidence was the key moment in the video for me. That only comes with practice, but it's difficult to get rid of insecurity. Way to go, Dom! You're a great student and you have the best teacher. I love both wrens. Greetings from Montreal.
Dom is a stellar student and clearly adores you or wouldn’t have put himself through the lesson with an expert.
Yes, pages of exercises in a watercolor sketchbook, suggested by my mentor, helped me to gain more brush confidence right after I started, last year. It was a very valuable grounding with my brushes.
Dom did a great job!
Great job, Dom! Much better than the first bird I painted. I learned a lot about brush control, Louise. Thank you.
As a leftie, I've been accused of holding my hand in strange positions all my life!! Haha!
He did so well, though! This was a great experiment and seems like it was very helpful to you both! Thanks for sharing!!
Louise, this was a great tutorial, Dom's hand and your advice together were great learning for me, I could see myself in Doms hand. This was a good combination fir a video. Thank you.
I think he did so well. This was one of the most helpful tutorials I’ve seen. Thankyou 😊
This was fascinating to me! I learned so much! I realized that I still do a number of things Dom did and I have been painting (not consistently) for a while. Your videos are so good and I always learn something. Thank you!!
Well done Dom and great job Louise - your hair looks fabulous too!! Leo is too darn cute - I imaging he would be a really great assistant
Well done Dom! I think your end result is fantastic and the video was so interesting, helpful and informative. Louise, you are so talented. I just love watching you paint 😊
Well that was a great tutorial Louise and Dom did so well, in fact much better than I did !!😊Well done Dom. I'm sure you'r proud of him Louise and thank you for sharing it all with us xx
This was really helpful, being able to see the way I would paint something and how it's different from the way an experienced painter would do it, being able to see the specific differences between the results you get using even slightly different techniques. Thanks for this!
I look forward to the brush technique tutorials!
Thank you Louise, and Dom. This was so encouraging!
Very good demonstration. Also think he did a wonderful job for his first time.well done 👍🥰
Excellent for the first time! I’m impressed!
Thank you for sharing this experience, Louise! This is only another proof of how great teacher you are. ☺
Good job Dom! Your painting looks fantastic. I was so identified with you, so watching you painting was inspiring! 🤩
This was a great idea and I shared it with a few friends that have just started out. I am sure they will find it reassuring. Personally, I learned that the end of a stroke ends in a blob. How have I never noticed that before ?! Thank you for pointing it out.
Good on you Dom!
His painting is lovely.
Its better than I can do after 3 years of trying.
Very informative demo - thank you both! I think the thing for me about resting my hand on the paper is that constant fear of smudging something! Superb first effort Dom :) hope you're sufficiently encouraged to keep going.
Wow great job Dom. Great teacher. Excellent demo.
Good job Dom!
