    I love how you explain what you did not like about the painting and how you went back to make it work so that we understand that even when we are not perfect the first time or dislike how something looks, we shouldn’t scrap the whole thing. Just go with it and make it work. Thank you for pointing those things out as I think it is super important especially as a beginner to understand that all paintings are a work in progress and that we may not have it down perfect right away.

    Your outtakes are hilarious! I found this video at just the right time to do a background for a lotus flower I painted and I AM SO SCARED OF MESSING IT UP 😂

  • @jmccormack5708
    @jmccormack5708 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    I watch a lot of watercolor tutorials but yours are my favorite. I love how you explain not only what you're doing, but also your thought process. It's incredibly helpful for a beginner with no art background. I have little "aha" moments with you all the time. And your bloopers make me snort-laugh.

    • @LouiseDeMasi

      Lol- I'm glad they are helpful. We can all do with a good laugh. Thank you J. 😘

    your tutorials are amazingly instructional, your demeanor is relaxed, your approach to the intricacies of the subject is impeccable… but your raspy voice STEALS THE SHOW (when kitty is out of the picture)
    thank you for sharing your knowledge and your time.

    You've got such a great sense of humour, Louise - I love the bloopers as much as the tutorials. Beautiful painting and so interesting to learn about this aspect of colour theory and to hear about your journey.

    Hello from the Philippines!!!! I am so glad I found your chanel. I homeschool my 7 yr old son and through homeschooling I found my love for watercolor. I love to draw when I was a child. I try to paint your blue bird, though not perfect my family love it!!! Btw, my son says your voice is so relaxing :). Thank you for sharing your tutorials.

    This is the second video of yours I have watched today, both being about your own learning curve and exploration. Thank you for sharing that experience. I have the SQ book and will use it with a different approach and attitude. Watching your experience and listening to your thoughts helps validate my own journey which is not as developed as yours! I'm headed to Patreon to sign up for your tutorials. Have followed you for a couple years here; now have funds for a subscription. Thank you also for your generosity with the TH-cam videos. Your work is both beautiful and inspiring; your teaching style is encouraging.

    I don’t think I’ve ever painted with just 2 colors and this was a great lesson. Also the layering of wet color over previous wet color that had dried. It was amazing to watch this magic of water and color. Thank you.

    avesome pretty :) good job ... I like the idea with the palette limited to 2 colors.
    sometimes less is more.

    What a gorgeous painting! Thank you for the demo - can't wait for it on Patreon. I do so enjoy your instructions, and sometimes watch a video up to 5 or more times just for the sheer magic! Can't wait to try some of the more "difficult" studies, meaning that even the beginner level is still way above my expertise😁. Please take care.

    Oh my goodness Louise! This video clearly demonstrates what a brilliant artist you are! I shall not be able to do this tutorial, at my stage, but what I shall do however is to practise mixing colours in this way and doing small, simple things to start me off. It also teaches us that we don't need to crave all the paints 'out there' but should, instead, try to mix our own amazing hues from what we already have - even varying brands etc. If you continue studying your new book then we shall all end up as alchemists! Thank you for sharing your discoveries - don't forget to get some rest too. No doubt I shall be dreaming in colour as I head off to bed now!
