    @KimberlyCrick Před 4 lety +3

    Just wanted to say thank you for all the work you put into your videos. As someone struggling with a tendency to put too much detail into paintings, I really adore and learn a lot from your way of simplifying what to include. There's a point where over working it takes away the magic of watercolor, such as the beauty of wet on wet textures, water drops, salt, granulation etc. Your work is really perfecting a balance of just enough detail and letting watercolor do it's thing :D

    • @LouiseDeMasi

    This is why I return to Louise's page so often. Each time I do? I pick up something new. Not only techniques but taking the time to plan your approach to the painting. I have sat back in the past, not at all pleased with what I was seeing because I rushed in.

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  Před 4 lety

      Thanks Don! I'm guilty of that. I was always in such a rush to start painting. I take it slower these days. Stay safe.

      @@LouiseDeMasi I also visited the pixabay site you recommended for reference photos. Free! Yippee! I've made my sketch, but now I'm nervous about painting and "ruining" it as it took me a while to get the drawing right. Any tips for preserving a good drawing so I can make more than one attempt at painting it? Thanks so much!

    • @lmac_z
      @lmac_z Před 4 lety

      I draw on tracing paper and then transfer to watercolour paper when happy with my drawing. This allows me to start over if needed but more importantly I’m not scuffing up my watercolour paper with and eraser. A light board makes it super easy to transfer, but used homemade transfer paper when I begun.

    @everettwhite9874 Před 4 lety

    It looks so easy watching you bring the cockatoo together. Good thing I watched the video first because I probably would have made my cockatoo into a dragon. Lol
    The finished painting is beautiful. 🌹

    I thought I had watched all the great watercolorist on you tube but just saw your videos a couple days ago. I love your work and how you explain what you do. I have been learning portraits in watercolor and have been doing commissions and keep getting pet commission requests...Ive done a few but have learned more and will be more confident after watching you. I also have a pet Umbrella cockatoo who I have been putting off painting because hes white. Now I have to paint him after watching this. Id love to see you do a human portrait if possible. I am currently out of work because of whats going on in the world but will look into your patreon after this all ends. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful work and clear explanations!!!

    Hi Louise, I am just starting to undertake your classes on Skillshare, and have moved from graphite drawing into watercolours and coloured pencils and just love the way you work. I am finding it hard to find a balance between colours and darks as well as too much and not enough detail. Your tutorials and videos are very informative and easy to understand. I am not yet ready to do a work of my own just yet, but learning more and more and more from your knowledge.
    Also can I ask what paints you use??
    Thank you from brissie AU♥️
