Love those white roses
Thank you Louise, watching you paint is pure joy.
Thanks so much 😊
Great demonstration of the subtleties of "whites." Thank you!
You're such a good teacher.
I just adore you and it's amazing fun seeing the bloopers at the end. I'm painting 13 commissioned pieces right now, with a lot of the subjects (farm animals) having white as their main color. I couldn't have come across your video at a more providential time!
Thank you for sharing your mastery of a limited palette and so many different ways to paint "white."
Blessings to you and yours!
Thanks for that. I’m at the stage of trying to get away from attempting to slavishly follow photos so this video was perfect for me! I love your approach to teaching, always excellent in content and delivered in a clear and very enjoyable way.
Thank you very much Nancy.
I 2nd Nancy's compliment to you. I found your wonderful tutorials by chance, when doing a search for watercolor tutorials by professional artists. I had grown weary of watching the same types of art videos that were basically copies of each other, just different presenters. I appreciate so much, your time and experience as a professional watercolor artist. Though I don't consider myself at the professional level, I enjoy the "process" of creating and learning "new" ways of "visualizing" subjects and painting with watercolors. I've also enjoyed your "out-takes" at the end of your videos. Thank you again.
Your paintings and teachings are magic!
5:20 pm central U.S. time. I could watch you paint for hours, your work is so beautiful. I love your outtakes at the end❣️
Thank you so much Patricia. 😀
This was great. The three little roses done three ways was especially helpful!
Glad it was helpful. Thanks Monique.
What brilliance, glad to have found you again!
its fun painting/drawing white subjects, so many colours in the white to use🙂
Your art is so perfect. You are too! I LOVE your bloopers!!!! Let us all relax and paint while laughing!!!
Thanks Louise for this interesting video on painting white subjects. The roses were so pretty and fresh. Helene
Well explained over three white roses. Always love your bloopers too 😘. 😘💕🥰❤️😍😊
Thank you so much Joan.😀
Excellent tips I’ve never heard in watercolor class, thank you! 🤩
You’re welcome. Thanks Laurel. 😊
I like the way you explain. Thank you so much.
Thanks for the valuable tips - on technique & creativity😊
I love your paintings.You're beautiful so much in this wearing style.Thanks.
You have a great ability to teach Thank you for your help.!
You are welcome. Thank you Laura.
You are the best- and I have watched and followed a lot. Thank you for helping me- always.
Wow, thank you!
Love having the ref photo visible while you are painting!
“I hope there was something useful in there for you”. I hung on every word in this one. Thank you so much for the way you explain every choice from the photo choices through to final touches. This might have been the most useful CZcams video I’ve watched yet!
I change the colors on reference photos because I can’t replicate the original. I love that you change the colors because you want to!! I am so impressed by the way you mix colors!!
Absolutely bloomin brilliant! 😁
Love the way you guide the whole procedure and have managed one white lily following your tips and that came out so well got beautiful comments in the group of watercolour .Thank you so much .
Though I am still far from reaching your fine subtle touch in the whites.But am trying 😊❤
Those flannel flowers are gorgeous and the colors are so subtle and your owl is utterly ethereal! Love how you use color to emphasize the white! Great tips 🥰🥰
Very informative and enlightening video. Thanks so much for this exploration of great tips for white!
My pleasure. Thanks Patty.
this is one of the best watercolors videos I've ever seen! direct to the point, with plenty of examples and techniques! Thank you, Teacher!
Thank you, Louise, this was very helpful. I tend to lean to a soft grey for white flowers, but you have shown beautiful other alternatives. Your three roses just demonstrated that getting "out of the box" can be quite exciting!
Wonderful! Thank you Veronica.
You hit the nail on the head Louise, thats exactly my problem...that I always paint what I see from my photos. I just cant seem to put in colours like some artists do that aren't there, yourself included. I would love to paint one of those gorgeous elephants, giraffes or lions in blues, greens, purples, yellows etc, instead out come the browns, the yellow ochres, etc etc..how do you step 'outside the box' its not as easy as you say...
Amazing!! I enjoyed very much!! Thank you for sharing👍👍👍💫✨
Thank you…..very timely for calla lilies.
This was extremely helpful. Thank you. ❤❤❤
I really like the concept....Thank you!
Glad you like it. Thanks Alison.
Lovely as always!
Though I'm a member of Skillshare and one of your Patreons, I always end up on here. I love, love, love these videos. Thank you, Louise! When I see what I want, I go to those sites and find the lesson. Easy peasy. Hugs from Florida!
Informative, thanks for sharing
Glad it was helpful. Thanks Don.
Thank you, Louise! You always think of so many ways to help us! ♥️
My pleasure Nancy. Thank you!
Great video, Louise. This was so useful, thank you!
So glad. Thanks Marilia.
Thanks a lot! You are very good in explaining!
Very good demonstration
Thank you Deborah.
Louise - This is a wonderful video, so clear to see what one can do with just minor variations in hue. Seeing three versions of the same rosebud, all subtly different yet made with the same three primary colors, is quite an eye-opener! I'm sharing this video on my FB page to show friends what a fabulous teacher you are and encourage them to try your methods! Thanks for such inspiration! 💜💛💚
Thank you so much for your great amazing effort giving important guidance and information 👍💖👍
Another amazing lesson in whites, love this, really helpful - thanks Louise
Brilliant, love your tutorials!
Beautiful! ❤️
Fabulous tutorial, just fabulous!
This tutorial helped a lot. I am always bummed when I paint daisies. Hopefully will be able to paint better 😀
Thanks Bhavana.
Louise, this video was so interesting and amazing at what you did with the white roses. So lovely. As usual,thank you for sharing this information. Helene❤
MUCHICIMAS GRACIAS, EXCELENTE TRABAJO
I've learned so much from watching all your videos. So appreciate your offering! 😊 I was wondering about your palette used in this video. It's so cool. I get some nice porcelain palettes for great prices from TEMU mail order. But I've not seen one like yours. So fun watching this video.
Lovely as always Louise 💕

Venho aqui te parabenizar por esse belíssimo trabalho
I like the use of colours to hold the image together and keeping it simple. I find there can be too many colours to choose from adding stress to the painting process. Thank you
loved this video -- so helpful to see that you don't need to be ruled by the reference photo
Glad you liked it, thank you!
Il serait bon d avoir une traduction en français je suis une fan et regarde régulièrement vos démos merci pour votre talent
Merci.
Good idea
Wow another good tutorial. I’m new and end up blocking my creativity because I’m so rigid on trying to get the shadows to match. Thank you for this video. 🌞🌞🌞
This is very helpful thank you Louise I would have done it all wrong with the colour scheme so have had a good tutorial here xx
Thanks Amanda.
Merci beaucoup 😊
Mon plaisir. Merci.
Wow what country do you live? Great photos
Thank you. Australia.
Wish I'd watched this before I painted my white rose! It turned out okay...but I'm glad you have this tutorial up in case I try it again! Also...what's the name of that amazing palette you're using?
