  • I demonstrate how I painted a Rhinoceros in watercolor on Fabriano Artistico soft press watercolor paper. I use a limited palette of only two colours. I'll show you how I painted the grass, how I mix my paint, the cast shadows and why I painted them on before all the wrinkles. I also use some watercolour pencils at the end of the painting.

    This is fantastic! It’s wonderful the range and textures you achieved with the two colors. Plus who doesn’t love a rhino 🦏

  • @howtosurviveelectronichara6474

    I absolutely love the colors you selected and I love the range of brights to the neutrals they create :-) Your drawing skills and your eye for color do nature justice, which is very difficult to do :-) thank you for sharing

    What a beautiful painting! It reminds me of the elephant you painted (using cling film) which is my all time favourite of yours 😊 The paper sounds like something I would enjoy. I recently tried the Hahnemühle Bamboo and it gave me a similar impression of painting on a soft velvety fabric.

    Firstly, another gorgeous painting. I had not heard of that paper, but sounds like one I would try. Love the effects you get from your paints separating on the paper. And I agree that the addition of the colour watercolour pencils added to it, but I know I would have to stop myself from fussing too much.

    Amazing painting Louise and I love the addition of the light blue watercolour pencil to add highlights and a bit of texture! I’ve not tried the soft pressed paper before but being that I like to add coloured pencil to some of my own paintings, I might have to try it out. Have a lovely weekend 😊💜

    Hi, thanks for this delightful lesson using 2 of my favourite colours. I appreciate how you describe the process, very helpful. I have tried painting a rhino and found it very difficult to achieve his character, found your video a joy to follow. Thanks again, have a good week and take care..

  • @LVA203
    @LVA203 Před 2 lety

    Thank you for this very educational video and I love the finished painting, very lively. I have used the Fabriano Artistico paper in the past and found it did not handle well the many large washes I used for my landscapes.

  • @Mr.S65

  • @amypanddirtytoo1926
    @amypanddirtytoo1926 Před 2 lety

    I just ordered that Soft Press paper off of Jerry's! I saw that Fabriano had it and so I looked at the description and it said "Good for beginner's" which I am not, BUT it made me think the paper was very forgiving and easy to use and I really just wanted to try it TBH cuz it just sounded interesting. I love detail and using pencils/ink/etc along with my watercolors so I prefer hot press, but I also have a thing for granulating colors which just look better when you have the hills and valleys of cold press to really show them off. I figured this might be perfect for both! Smooth enough to use my other products on it, but just enough tooth to show off granulating colors! Ooooh, now I'm excited and can't wait for it to get here!!

    Beautiful painting Louise! I just heard about soft pressed paper not too long ago, It looks like a happy medium for someone like me! I love the texture from a cold pressed paper but I'd like to add a bit more fine detail. This paper has a beautiful fine texture that didn't distract from your painting.

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  Před 2 lety +2

      Thanks Nathan. Yes exactly! It gives you the best of both worlds. I'll be using it again.

    Hi Louise, I am watching all your utube videos and really enjoying them. I have just started with water colours and am enjoying them. Unfortunately I am a pensioner so my resources are very limited. I am based in South Africa and have access to all our National Parks. I am a wildlife photographer. If you are ever looking for something in particular to paint please dont hesitate to ask. I can supply any images to you free if you wish. Thank you for your inspiring work and lessons.

    @janetbrown124 Před 2 lety

    Hi Louise, I have recently subscribed to your Patreon classes. My expertise is with coloured pencils and pastels so I am looking forward to learning a new medium. My previous sole attempts at watercolour has been disaster. this is because I was trying to put in all the fur details etc. I like the idea of the freedom allowed in the watercolour painting that you have shown.
    Can you please let me know where I can source the Fabriano soft press watercolour paper too as that is something I would like to try. I live in Perth WA. thankyou in advance.

    I love watching your videos and soft pressed Fabriano paper sounds great to use, I work with watercolor but also like to combine with pastels , I have tried different papers and really like Fabriano. Will it be possible to know where to purchase this paper please, as I live in England, UK and tried Amazon and Jackson Art supplies and had no luck finding soft pressed, only cold, hot and rough. Many thanks.
