I've been watching your tutorials for quite some time now. I always admire your control in each brush stroke and how clean your paintings are.
Thanks so much Adrian.
Thanks again. Your teaching style is superb, and you are too. I appreciate these videos so much! I love how you explain in detail as you go along; it's very helpful.
I'm glad they are helpful. Thank you Patty.
You are the only watercolour artist who does watercolour slowly and peacefully unlike others who rush and confuse me😊
Thank you Sujanith. It's wonderful that you find them helpful.
This is the most beautiful painting I have ever seen Louise! Thank you for making a tutorial for us!!
Thank you! 💕
OMG Louise, I just found out your chanel yesterdady and I thought it was amazing. Today I am paiting my orchids and you just uploaded a tutorial about it. WHAT A COINCIDENCE! YOUR WORK IS BEAUTIFUL ♥
Wonderful! Thanks so much Nick. Have fun with your orchid painting.
I have always loved your tutorials, but this one...! I was still in awe of your beautiful painting, when the 'bloopers' came up. I haven't laughed so much in a long time. You always seem so perfectly in control of everything, it was marvelous to share your process. Thank you:)
Absolutely gorgeous, The time and care you put into your paintings is incredible. As always your instruction is so helpful.
Thank you Renee. 💕
I so appreciate your meticulous explanations, close-up camera footage and helpful hints.
I am still in awe of your pigment and water control and how translucent it remains... one of these days I will paint a shadow in one swoop... sweep...🤣🤣 will look forward to this Patreon post when it is ready.
😝Yes you will! Thanks so much Alison. 🥰
Not only talented, but also hilarious. I love the out-takes at the end.

Beautiful Louise Thank you for sharing
My pleasure. Thank you Amanda.
Gorgeous Louise! Have a great weekend 😊
Thanks so much Sarah. You too!😊

Thanks Lynn. 💕
Just what I need for an amaryllis painting. Thank you!
You’re welcome. Thanks Andrea. 😊
Beautiful Louise! thank you ;-)
Muy buenos consejos, y un hermoso trabajo. Saludos
Just beautiful. I raise orchids (Vanda and cattleyas most,y, a few Phalaenopsis and use to do cymbidiums). The traditional cymbidiums get really big, take up lots of space and require cooling to bloom. HOWEVER, in the last few years they have come up with some smaller ones that are warmth tolerant and will bloom without the chilling that’s hard to get in more tropical area. Being smaller helps too. I had been thinking of sending you some pics to paint but you got it.
Again, gorgeous. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you and thank you for the information about growing orchids. I didn't know that! 💕
Absolutely beautiful painting again! Just love your painting style. And the bloopers 😂
Thank you very much Suzanne. 🥰
I like your painting and the way you explain. Happy new year.

Beautiful piece Louise! Thanks for the link, I just purchased a couple of the eradicator brushes!
Wonderful! I hope you make good use of them. Thank you Nathan.
Found the brush through the link you provided! Thanks a lot!
Great! Thanks Helen.
Thanks for this beautiful painting
Please share tutorials on hibiscus and kaner
Wondering how perfectly your proportions are and how to achieve them when using a smaller reference, such as your own photographs. Perhaps you already have a video on this? If not, could you please make a recommendation which reference material to use, if possible. Truly enjoy watching you paint. Thank you for sharing your artistic skills.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
hi louise! you are an inspiration! your artworks are breathtaking! i am planning to get back to painting after almost 8 years. what watercolour tubes would you recommend? thank you!!
🥰👏👏👏

Hi Louise, I absolutely love your videos!! Thank you so much!!
May I ask if there’s a difference if you wet a paper in sections vs paint water on the entire petal and ad some clean water on the section that started to dry.
Thank you.
Yes you can do that- absolutely. Always be careful not to put too much water near the area you just painted because you will create blooms where you don't want them.
Hi Artist.
You are doing a very beautiful job. People are watching your video. Keep working hard. You need more than luck to succeed in affiliate business.stay connected. ❤❤🌹
Beautiful ! Please do a Dahlia for me too 🤗
Thannks Lesley!
Hi, Louise, I just started following your videos and love your work. What is the name/brand of the palette you are using? If you can provide a link as well, or the name of the company, that would be great. It looks like exactly what I want.
Louise, at what point do you erase your pencil lines. I find that if I don’t do that right away I won’t be able to. And I don’t see any on yours at the end. 🌴Tallahassee Florida 🌴
They are still there. If I look closely I can see some. I sometimes give the outer edges a rub over with the eraser after the first wash goes on. That will remove any areas that aren't covered in paint and because there is only a light wash on the paper I can usually minimise the lines that are under the paint. I can still see them faintly but they aren't as noticeable.
Thank you for your wonderful videos. Your step by step instructions are such a help. Im about to try watercolours and have been watching so many videos to try to learn about this technique and finally I have found YOU. Im wondering if you have any tutorials for complete beginners, starting from the beginning and taking through all the different things that there are to know about ?. Ive been watching mostly people from U.S. and as Im in Australia, I cant figure out what type of brushes I should buy ?. What would you recommend ?. Im working my way through your videos and I love your style of painting, so I would like to follow along with you but I need to start from the very beginning I think. Also wondering if you teach person to person (depending upon where you are of course :-) ). Thank you very much Louise. I'm filled with admiration for you. !!!!!
Thanks so much Lindy. I have a few beginner tutorials on Patreon but they are about painting a particular subject. I walk you step by step through the painting. Also on Patreon I post written posts about supplies I use etc. I mainly use round brushes but I prefer them to have a fine point. Some round brushes are cut with a blunt edge. There are brushes specifically designed for watercolour painting. I use sable brushes which are expensive but I used synthetic brushes when I first started. Many watercolour painters like the Silver Black Velvet watercolour brushes, some like Princeton watercolour brushes. Rosemary and Co have a good selection of watercolour brushes. I don't teach face to face I'm sorry because I'm too busy with my online classes.
@@LouiseDeMasi Thank you so much Louise. I can't stop watching all your videos. I'm learning so much. I just looked up Rosemary & Co but they are in the U.k. Maybe you are as well. I was presuming you were in Australia.
@@lindyhawthorne2164 I'm glad. I'm in Australia. 🦘🇦🇺💚
Hi, I have subscribed to your Patreon but cannot find the tutorial for this, just wondering whether you will make a full tutorial for this available sometime in the future ?
Hi Amanda, I'll be posting the tutorial in January.
@@LouiseDeMasi Great!Thank you and Happy new year!
Another brilliant presentation! Love it! Can you provide the specs of the Rosemary&Co short hair brush? I went to its website but the products are so overwhelming that it is very hard to find the brush! Thank Louise!
Hi Helen, thank you! There's a link in the description of this video that goes straight to the brushes I use.
@@LouiseDeMasi Thank yo Louise! I found it! I always have a need for such a brush! You are the amazing!
Where do you get the arches watercolour board in Australia? Or anywhere. Thank you again for another fantastic instructional video and love the bloopers
I believe they have been discontinued ie Arches is no longer making them. I can't find any remaindered stock anywhere internationally.
You can't get it anymore Monique. I have a stash here at home that I'm using up. Daler Rowney make a similar product called Langton Prestige board.
@@LouiseDeMasi Does it perform similarly to the Arches?
Edit: I just went and had a look and it seems the Langton Prestige is a cotton rag/cellulose mix, so I doubt it would perform like the Arches. Shame that Arches are not making it anymore. Was it super expensive? Is that why they discontinued it?
@@bluewren65 It was fairly expensive. I'm not sure why they discontinued it. The Langton board is good to use (not as good as Arches). I painted a budgerigar on it. The colours are beautiful. I found that it doesn't hold onto the paint as well as Arches. When I went to rework an area I didn't like - it wasn't as accommodating as Arches paper is. The paint lifted and I got in a bit of a mess but I was able to correct it eventually. It takes time to get used to a new paper so that could have been what the problem was for me.
@@LouiseDeMasi I find that cellulose content in a paper tends to do that. Great if working in gouache and you want to use a lot of reductive techniques, but could be frustrating in watercolour.
Madam please do a Dahlia flower painting tutorial in watercolor🙏
Have Arche's started making their water boards again Louise or is this old stash?
It's the old stash Karen...sorry ☹️. Try Daler Rowney Prestige Langton board. They aren't as good as Arches but they're not bad.
@@LouiseDeMasi thanks Louise I'll give them a go
Wonderful as usual plus boops! 🤣
Thank you Pam.
What paper is best for water color painting?
My favourite paper is Arches cold pressed watercolour paper. I also like using Fabriano Artistico cold pressed watercolour paper.
Thanks for this beautiful painting
Please share tutorials on hibiscus and kaner
Thank you Amita.
