    Thousands of hours watching wc videos tells me that Louise is probably the best teacher. Straightforward explanations with first rate camera work. Many thanks.

      Yes and dedicated hours of editing the content to piece together all the visual information that enhances her explanations and makes it so easy for us to understand exactly what she's talking about! 😊

  • @FuriedHearts
    @FuriedHearts Před 4 lety +5

    I think you’re the best watercolor channel on CZcams. I think you explain the behaviors of the medium the best. You don’t just show how to do something. You explain the WHY too. And thoroughly show visuals that show each step of what you’re explaining.

    I always thought making blooms was a bad thing....now I know different! Thank you so much for explaining this and the process for intentionally making blooms. Tremendously helpful! ❤

    Oh my goodness, I don't know why I've not discovered you before - I think I've just watched 5 of your videos in a row and you explain things better than I've ever heard them explained before! And your examples are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your understanding and love of the beautiful art of watercolour ♡

  • @stephaniemitchell8509
    @stephaniemitchell8509 Před 4 lety +44

    I really love blooms, but most artists will tell you to avoid them, not show you how to make them! They really do add interest, texture, and even subtle shading. Personally, I think they're one of the most beautiful aspects of watercolors. If I wanted flat colors, I'd have chosen to learn oil or acrylics, after all. (:

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  Před 4 lety +7

      Exactly Stephanie! I agree with you 100%. I couldn't have said that better myself. 💜

    As a young school art class student I failed terribly wc with holes in my paper. I had no direction, disappointment, I stuck to acrylic which I love. I am determined to give it a new start, 35 years later, I’ve learned so much in just a few if your videos. You are amazing. I’m painting a simple Koi, I am actually doing okay. Glad I found you!

    Such an interesting effect. It really does add interest but doesn’t distract from the focal image. The sea turtle is a really fine piece! The shell is wonderfully realistic. The blooms in the watery background seem to add motion. Can’t wait to experiment a bit!

  • @mandyg5747
    @mandyg5747 Před 4 lety

    This was so helpful. Most tutorials and classes are speeded up...makes sense when videoing so it's not too long but also means a beginner does not understand how long to wait before adding more paint. How much water to use is also confusing. A very well thought out and executed video. Thank you so much. I love how your paintings are both realistic and yet 'arty'. So many classes are one or the other or even more cartoon/illustrative. I currently have two online teachers (Anna Mason and Paivi Erola) and just started attending night class for water colour but you are definitely one of two on my Patreon wish list. Your Patreon levels are very generous. TFS
