I agree!! Tonight is the first time I'm watching Louise.....yes sweet she is.. To Louise "I love your teaching" it's so nice to feel relaxed, easy to learn...so pretty! Thankyou!!
This technique is so awesome! I feel like even as a beginner i can vastly improve my paintings doing this. I’ve started working on birds recently and my latest attempt only has the background wash so this is perfect for me to practice. I’ve just been randomly browsing various watercolor videos so I’m happy I chose this one before I got started on the body! Thanks so much for your helpful instruction 😀
Love this technic! Thanks for the clear explanation and demonstration. I'd love to learn how you paint the eyes of your subjects. Your paintings are so beautifully done I could cry. 😮❤
Fantastic. Haven't don't watercolors since high school but I am going to get back into them. Took me long enough. I'm 70. Thanks for the refresher. Thanks for sharing. Stay well.
At the beginning I found this tutorial is quite confusing and complicated but once I followed your instructions step by step I was too happy to see my final artwork. Thanks so much for posting this lovely video. Lots of love and respect.😘
Brilliant! I am just learning and am SO happy to have come across your tutorials. The best on RUclips… thank you for sharing your talent and techniques.
Finally found what I was looking for! Love how you are so detailed and show it so clearly in a quite more simple way than I expected! Subbed immediately! 💜
Amazing technique! You are my favourite artiste on RUclips! Thank you so much to share your beautiful art and techniques! 💕💕💕💕 I love everything you created! 💗💗💗💗
never expected to love painting birds until i took your Patron classes. Came back for a little refresher to try the Galah again on my own. Thanks Louise!
Thank you again Louise for explaining everything step by step. So nice to find someone who takes such care with your lessons. Can't wait to try it out.
I tried painting my Quakers a month ago and wasn't satisfied. This will give me the technic I couldn't figure out on my own. Profuse thanks 🙏 to your genius. 😊
Your videos are becoming like a meditation for me.. so beautiful and so calming… and they have great instructions too. Thanks so much! I appreciate you
Amazing technique. I photograph birds and have had other people ask to paint my birds, so I started learning watercolor in hopes I could paint some of my own birds. This feather technique will be very helpful. Thank you.
I watched numerous tutorials on birds and you answered my question for technique better than anyone. Thank you. I'm eager to try this on the parrot I'm attempting.
Louise I just read then watched your video on youtube about negative painting. I felt so bad for you in school. I'm having problem with my spouse. she been oil painting for 30 yrs and she refuses to join Patreon. But negative happens in real life at many ages. Thank you for sharing your wisdom..
Great explanation and demonstration of negative painting. I want to paint some blue jays, but don’t want to paint every feather! I think this technique will be helpful. Thank you!
I’m so happy I found you! I’m a very new beginner and somewhat intimidated by water color paint. Your lessons are easy to understand and presented with such kindness! I now have a bit of confidence and will start painting! Thank you, Louise!
I’m so glad I discovered your RUclips videos ! I love your teaching style, and the way you break down the most difficult techniques into easy to understand steps! Thank you!
Louise you have turned my complicated brain now into a simplified one. Thankyou so much. My journey now as a watercolour artist can continue without all the frustrations of my past attempts.
This is brilliant - I've wanted to have a go at feathers for a while. Absolutely love your site and your style of painting and presentation. Thank you :)
Newbie here....how helpful and effective! It’s so amazing to see the shadow bring the shape to life. And adding the pencil marks back in after the first wash will help guide me too. Thank you SO much. 👏🇨🇦
What a great Lady you are. I am sorry,what a great soul are you. Really I liked your techniques but I never knew it's possible I just started painting at the age of 63. I had this passion long before when I was in college. I use to draw the styles and gestures of my lecturers and professors in cartoons. Then I left for a mechanical engineering degree by my dad and handed over a chisel and hammer. Lol.after completing the long years in service as my father's wish again I came down to my old Passion. You are inspiring and so detailing that I didn't come across an artist like you. There a lot great artists in u tube.but the way you make the novices to understand the detailing no one takes pain. Great mam. God be with you
Have just found you! So grateful for your generous teaching! I have been wanting to try being less tight with my painting, discovering you has been heaven sent, thank you so much😊
This was my first time on this channel and already I have learned something very useful. Also, so nice to familiar birds. Most art channels seem to be from the northern hemisphere.
I've watched a lot of tutorials to attempt to learn to paint feathers realistically, and what you've shown here is the most useful thing I've seen. Fabulous! Thanks Louise.
A very comprehensive explanation of how to achieve this effect. Thank-you so much. I'm hoping that this will help me in wrapping my brain around this concept.
You are a lovely lady, Louise. I am currently addicted to negative painting, and was delighted to find your videos and such generous advice and help. You are clarifying so much for me, especially as I am starting to include animals and birds into my work. Challenging, and you do it so wonderfully. Thank you SO much!
You have to be one of the most kindest and sweet instructors on RUclips that I've run across. Just a beautiful spirit and soft voice.
You're very kind. Thank you. That's a lovely compliment.
