As an absolute beginner, you have not only inspired me, but your guidance and teaching style is totally on point.
Thank you for your honest approach, no gizmos to sell it, and most of all the gentle humour to finish it off.
đ
Thanks very much George.
Thank you so much for the lesson on mixing your own black. Many years ago I purchased my first watercolor book - Making Color Sing by Jeanne Dobie. I am so glad I learned from the beginning to mix my own blacks from complimentary colors. Your demonstration was a perfect reminder of mixing beautiful grays. I am 70 years old and am still learning. You are my favorite on-line watercolor teacher.
I, as usual, found myself taking notes.
Lol- Thanks Don. Enjoy your weekend. đ
Hey Louise je tekeningen zijn zo mooi,plus ik leer veel bij hoe ik de kleuren kan mixen hartelijk dank!
Thank you Louise I love to watch you you are a great teacher
Love your videos! I can appreciate its a lot of work to paint and film at the same time, and edit. Love the bloopers!
Thank you for reminding me of the importance of practice, practice, practice - Too often I expect perfect results straight away. I too took notes - thank you so much.
Louise-youâre awesome! I love your teaching, your artwork, and your willingness to instruct others â€.
Thank you, Louise. I love your humanity. :-D I aspire to be a little like you when I grow up (I just turned 69. Haha) Truly, though, your lovely light touch and clear instruction have been an inspiration to me in my watercolor journey. Thank you.
Wonderfully instructive video on the importance of not relying on premixed black watercolors. This is really so very important. Might I also say just how much I appreciate your humble approach to painting, admitting it is still work and requires practice after a decade of painting and for so openly sharing the delightful outtakes at the end. You exemplify the best that a tutor can bring her students! xx
That's very kind of you. Thank you for your lovely message Linda. đ
Loved this one! I just finished teaching my pal all about how to mix black with many variations and these exact colours were one of the choices! When I started to paint I was taught to NEVER use paint straight out of a tube nor to EVER use black in a tube so have been mixing my own for years. Watching what lovely things you do with tube black made me question what was right or wrong or better. and now I think it is alll ok. Mix, donât mix, add this or that it is alllllll ok. Enjoy the painting. End of story. But I have to say that I still own zero tubes of black and still mix my own as that translucent something makes mixed â blackâ not quite so âdark holeâ- like. Love how and what you teach. You are so special. And funnnnnYYYYY!!!!
You are so adorable and natural. How wonderful it would be to make your delightful acquaintance. Sending appreciation from Oregon USA
What a sweet little chick Louise and very interesting to find you can make your own black Thank you for sharing your time with us
Thanks Amanda. đ
Hello! It's wonderfull that you showed us your previous studies. I t takes down the wrong idea that art work is done on the first attempt, even for a ten year experienced watercolourist, that beginers have. Thank you! Huge hug! đ
Thanks Sandra. It's always a struggle and there are many paintings that don't turn out.
Very cute outtakes! Thanks for all your hard work in creating these videos!
Iâm a huge fan of black and white so I love to see how beautifully the Daniel Smith lamp black bleeds out to look like fur. đžđđŠ
first off, sneezes, bless you...bloopers, priceless...tutorials, THANKS!!!!!!! real deal you are and thanks for sharing.
Thank you, Louise, for this helpful tutorial. I enjoyed watching how you not only make a lively black with complimentary colors but how you subtly incorporated the two complimentary colors into your cute little chick painting along with the black you created. I am going to try this myself. Your comedy at the end of your tutorials is hilarious! You are the only person who makes me laugh out loud! Your delivery reminds me of Lucille Ball.
Thank you, Louise. This is such a charming painting. My tube paint collection is growing because of you....and that's good. I've got to order some Winsor Green B/S now, It's a beautiful mix with the Aliz. Crimson. Can't wait till it's up on Patreon.. Thanks for the giggles, as well....always enjoy your videos.
Wonderful! Thanks Judy. I'll get it on there as soon as I can.
Just come across you. I love that you don't take yourself too seriously, count me in and subscribed. Thanks for yr tutorials.
Thanks so much. đ
You are such a great instructor and so humorous đ
So soft and cuddly. Have tried mixing complementary colors to make a neutral. Love that black neutral color. Thank yoy!
Thanks Barbara. đ
Hay fever! spring is on the way, and all sensitive people get it.Love the relaxed style
Loved finding out that I can make this black! Thank you also for the bloopers - they make me giggle! :D
I'm glad.Thanks Susan. đ
Do Love the Black and Bloopers, Louise!
I found your classes in Skill Share over a year ago and I just love your art and teaching style! So far I have learned so much from you! Your illustration of black colour on this little chick is absolutely amazing! Thanks Louise! You are one of the best art teachers!

Superbe, avec seulement 2 couleurs. TrÚs intéressante cette vidéo qui donne envie de se pencher sur ce problÚme d ambiance de nos aquarelles . Merci
Thank you for showing us your practice pieces as a beginner it is so easy to get frustrated when things don't go well. It's nice to see even the pros do a couple to practice pieces. I too am glad I'm with you on Patreon!
Thanks so much for enlightening us with ways to make black. You have a wonderfully precise way of teaching - does not get any better than this!
You're very kind. Thank you Patty. đ
You make it sound so easy. Thanks for sharing how much work watercolor actually is.
My pleasure. Lol - it is a lot of work but it's fun work. Thanks Suzanne. đ

I woke my husband up because I was laughing so hard at the bloopers!đđđđđđđ
Thank you so much. I love your painting.
Excellent your painting. I like it
Thank youđ I have watched for a while....I love this wee chicken.....appreciate all you dođđ
Love the video, and LOVED after-reel.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Brian.
Lovely chicken
was beautiful lesson indeed thank u i loved most the talk after the lesson about practicing and stuff by the way i have the next book singing colors
Hello Louise, I consider myself fortunate that I bought Jean Dobiesâ book when it first came out, . And from there on I learned to mix beautiful darks . There are other combinations also , and I like that the darks can be cooler or warmer.
Lovely painting, beautifully described. Thanks.
My pleasure đ. Thank you!
thank you louise, you share your talents so easily... and add some humour, lovely, lovely, lovely!! I started following you 6 mos ago ... so glad i did!!!
Wonderful! Thank you very much. đ
Oh and love Jean Dobieâs book! Excellent resource. Really opened my eyes to how colours can work together. Love the mouse colours...
I need more patience! Well I need to cultivate more patience by practicing with the colors I am going to use in a project. I tend to want to just complete a project. But I sometimes do more than one of the same painting. And learn from my mistakes the first time. Thank you Louise!
You are so very talented
Lovely presentation full of very valuable water painting tips ! Thank you for being such an effective teacher !
This is nice to know about these two colors. I've also heard of people using Burnt Sienna and one of the Blues - Antwerp, Prussian, Cobalt or Ultramarine.
The first black I learned to mix was pthalo green and alizarin crimson. I've been told and have read that winsor green is pthalo green. I believe it. The first time I used winsor blue I remarked that it Looks like pthalo blue then after comparing the two I believed it about both the two winsor colors. They are both pthalo.
Good stuff Louise. Please keep it coming and thank you very much.
Thanks very much!
This is just the cutest ever Louise! I canât wait to try him from Patreon! As always, your teaching is great!
Really enjoy the way you teach and you give me new tips and ideas every show. Youâre the best!
You are great!!!!â€ïžđ§ââïž
Wonderful video! So much valuable information! Love the end so much with the out-takes! Made me smile so much my face hurt!
So glad! Thank you!
Thanks for the âyouâve been doing it for ten years, and you still made three practice videos.â My poor lil chickâŠ.is a messâŠ.watercolor is ridiculously hard. Aarrrrrrggghhh!!
Thank you, Louise. I really enjoyed the painting lesson.
Love your presentation I am a watercolour artist for over 20 years and I always mix my blacks using phthalo blue and alizarin crimson, also try phthalo green and alizarin crimson. Thank you for all your great videos and your bloopers, your work is beautiful.
Beautiful little Easter đŁ. đ
Thank you, Louise! What a great demonstration on the differences of a purchased black and mixed black. Loved the hints of color in the painting!!
Thanks very much Lynne. It's worth taking the time to mix it. đ
Lovely.
This is the second book I'm buying after your recommendation. Thank you for making my art experiences so much more interesting đ
Fantastic!!! đ€
Beautiful....thank you for reminding us that you too practice and practice. I'm going to go practice.
Wonderful! Thank you Tom.
Great video! And as always love the bloopers!:DDâ„
Glad you like them! Thank you.
This is very helpful Louise and I loved your demonstrations. Thank you very much! đ„°
So glad! Thank you. đ
Back in the 60's, I was reading the Sword of Shannara series. The cover art, which I drooled over, was done by the Brothers Hildebrandt. I later read that they never used black, finding it dull and dead. They use purple. That has always stuck with me, and even now, I add blue or purple to my blacks and I go for payne's grey for that blue tinge. But I really like these two colors mixed for black, and the variations of green and red you get. I'm going to try this going forward. Thanks for the video!
My pleasure. Thank you and thanks for the information. đ
Oh my gosh I remember the sword of Shanara series. Wow that brought back some memories
@@trinidiana When I was looking up how to spell their name (lol), I came on their artwork. I was instantly transported back. I could have named the series and artist just looking at them, no title needed.
Really great tutorial and exploration of mixing your own black.
Thank you!
This is fabulous, thank you for sharing your skills. Love your bloopers too.
Its beautiful.. thanks
Iâm really enjoying the Stephen Quiller book and your chicken is adorable! Take care Louise đ
Thanks very much Sarah. I hope it's useful to you. đ„°
That was such a charming subject to paint. Great job! Thank you! â„ïž
Thank you! đ
I throughly enjoyed watching this tutorial! Looking forward to seeing it on Patreon! Thanks for sharing this info.... I agree with your comments on pure black versus combined colours to make black...
Thank you Cynthia. đ
U are a grt tchr Louise-one tat I wish I had started watercol with! Had struggled with muddy col in my initial watercol pcs... Lol
In fact, chickens have yellow feet. Great impression. Thanks
Thank you once again Louise - always informative and fun to watch!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks Cathy.
Very helpful!
I don't know what to speak!! You are just amazing! It's a whole new world seeing your videos! Also, I like your home a lot :)
I started watching your videos since 2020 and I have improved a lot! Well, can you paint a scenery or try something new in watercolor? đ
By the way, I'm the girl who got up at 6am to watch your live video on a freezing cold morning đ„¶đ„¶
Hello Galaxy Teddy bear! It's lovely to hear from you. I'm glad you are improving with your painting! Thank you very much for watching. đ„°
@@LouiseDeMasi You are soo sweet â€â€
As alway I love your tutorials and videos. I stop what ever Iâm doing to watch it as soon I I get your notices!! Lol
I didnât here which pigment number of Alizarine Crimson you were using so
I just wanted to add that Alizarin Crimson is PR83 it is not lightfast. It fades and fades rapidly. I learned this doing research on pigments before I invested in my artist grade watercolors. And sure enough several cardinals I painted from sample/trial sets, framed and hung faded to nothing in about two years.
Thanks so much Debbie. That's very kind of you. That's a shame about the cardinals. Try Permanent Alizarin Crimson because it's lightfast unlike Alizarin Crimson. Pigment PR206
Amazing
AMAZING VIDEO !
So beautiful, you gave us some amazing advice. I thank you.
My pleasure. Thanks Caron.
Lovely painting and you always bring us such useful information. This is a great mix for black and I've tried several. And thank you for the book recommendation as well.
Thanks so much Renee. đ
That is beautiful.....I love the paint mixture....absolutely beautiful đ€© I love the bloopers đđŻ
Thanks so much.đ đ
