Thank you Louise for this video. I’ve been painting animal portraits for many years but in oils, I’ve recently been experimenting with watercolours and I’ve really been enjoying the process. It’s helped me to become a lot looser in landscape painting but I’m about to do my first dog portrait in watercolour, two little frenchies 😅. So this has been a huge help thank you, wish me luck 😂
Breathtaking! You have captured the sweet personality of Lenny and the love for "his special person" in his eyes and his aura shines!! Your humility as an artist is what makes it so easy to watch and learn from. I think we all feel that you are a Master of your craft, and we feel honored that you share your talents and guidance with us! Ps, when I first started watching you just a few weeks ago, I kept wondering who you reminded me of, and then it hit me "Fairy Godmother"!! You have the presence and voice of a magical Fairy Godmother, and in my house, we now call you Fairy Godmother, you my darling are a joy to spend time with!! Blessings of Love and Sweetness in your life 💕
You have caught that "doggy" expression so well.. the eyes especially (I'm missing my Great Dane who passed away recently, had that identical expression and pose often).. pint mainly flowers at present, and acrylics is my medium, but I too gonize and I tend to overwork.. I find it so hard to let go, and want to keep working at spots I keep noticing.. But yours has turned out so beautifully right.. and you kitten is so cute, I have rescued/adopted 4, more grown up than yours now, and very boisterous :) - I've subscribed & liked...
I'm on your Patreon and can't wait to paint t his for a friend! and OMGOODNESS THE KITTEN. What is his/her name? SO cute. I'm a cat lover. Paint your kitten please! hugs Louise. Hope you are feeling better. Ontario Canada
Beautiful painting! The way you describe your painting process makes it seem possible for me to take on even challenging subjects like this. I always learn so much from your tutorials,
Your kitten nearly stole the show :) Really enjoyed this video and watching the spaniel come to life - great job on the fur. I think you have mastered watercolour. Another lovely painting.
Love all your animal paintings since I’m an animal gal, and this is another one that’ll help a tremendous deal when it gets to Patreon, especially when I paint my rescue dog Annie. She’s all hair. Thanks SO much for all these great tips, as usual!!!
Beautiful painting Louise. I always am so drawn to the way you paint eyes. They are very life like & are always so expressive. I agree with what others have said - I hope you paint that beautiful new kitten. They are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing them in the video.
Definitely going to check painting out on Patreon sight. I think it’s so amazing when you do the entire painting using basically 2 color pigments. Thanks.
A wonderful subject & you have painted him exquisitely !❤. I find your tutorials wonderful & I watch them all the time! You certainly have mastered this medium, your work is breathtaking. Thank you so much for sharing. Cheers 😘❤️💕🥰😍😊
Oh my goodness! It is so beautiful! I enjoyed watching you paint what awesome job! Prob one my favorites you have done! You have grown so much in your work. Keep painting and sharing😊❤️
Such a beautiful painting Louise, I am sure your friend will love this. Thank you for sharing your time with us and I see a tiny kitten looking to learn to paint too, so adorable.Thank you again xxx
Oh my goodness Louise how beautiful you painted this precious little Lenny. I am sorry for your friend’s loss. She sure was gorgeous! I also have to add how beautiful little black kitten is! You are an amazing artist! I really admire your talent. Thank you for sharing this lovely tutorial. Helene❤
Oh, Louise! Your process in bringing this sweet dog to life is so masterful! Your end results are gorgeous and quite stunning. You always amaze me by starting with a white sheet of paper and causing it to reflect the most lovely, touching, painterly subjects with your artistic point of view, mastery of technique and creativity! I’m so thankful for you, sweet lady! Thank you for brightening my day, as usual! I love that you brought your little kitty in with you. It sure had fun exploring your studio! I just got a kitten also. They are such delightful little creatures! ♥️👏🏻🥇🐈⬛
What a lovely painting! It's so easy to love pets, even though they will break your heart someday. I know I wouldn't be the same person without critters in my life. Also, that is just the cutest kitty! Hope to see more of them!
Enjoyed seeing this little fellow come to life. The eyes are wonderful, so complex and realistic. Also fun to see your new kitten, one of these days maybe he/she will become a subject as well. Thanks for all of the hard work you do for us, Louise! 💜💜💛💛💚💚
Lovely Louise!! Your little ‘supervisor’ is sooo adorable! I had to send my beautiful boy to the Rainbow Bridge on October 7 th… He was 13. I painted him earlier this year and I’m so glad I did! I love watching your fur technique and tutorials. Thank you!
@@LouiseDeMasi How very kind of you to reply…Lovely to see your son at the end of this video, as well….I have three grown sons…My name is Marsha, btw…I’m recently retired and am going to allow myself one Patreon membership as soon as my finances get sorted out…I’m looking forward to it!
You always seem to paint with so much ease. I don't really see the struggle 'cause the painting turned out beautiful! I hope you also paint the kitten. S/he is so cute. A painting tutorial is a good idea to introduce him/her to us💖
Wonderful painting Louise! 😊 I tend to overwork paintings with hair and have difficulty knowing when to stop so this video was really useful, thank you 😊
I love this .I have always had cavaliers. Although my present one is 9 years and did look like your image ,he no longer does but is still beautiful to me so I have just taken a photo in a similar position and will have a go, to join ,mostly , drawings I have done of him! many thanks.😍
Oh Louise - my heart missed a beat when I came on YT and this video popped up! This is our first dog to a T - our darling Oskar, he passed away in South Africa but had a lovely 14+ years with us. Will you be doing this on Patreon eventually? Pleased to note your voice sounds better - I hope you feel better too. Love that furry companion!
Hi Nettie, they are beautiful dogs. Yes It will go on Patreon early next year. I'm feeling better. Thank you! That's little Leo. He's in the studio with me today while I'm trying to voice over a tutorial. The emphasis is on the word 'trying' there. I have to wait until he's asleep because that's the only time he's quiet. 🤦🏼♀️
Louise I am so grateful to you and your tutorials. Your definitely a favorite. Thank you sharing your beautiful art with us and giving us inspiration. May I ask what brush you used in this King Charles Cavalier painting
This is so lovely!!!! If you could paint a boxer one day will be amazing ,they are one of most lovely breeds, they are the true meaning of the dog totem that is the uncoditional love , they have so much love that they in the list of a lot of deseases pre disposition and have few time with us like 10 years. I had Duque that in english is Duke one of most lovely dog that I know in my life he died of cancer, Amora that in english means the fruit blackberry, I lost she for degenarative Myelopathy in the pandemic she had the dog version of the bucket ice desease chalenge that my grandma died, one special thing in her name is that Amora has love in her name because love is Amor in brasilian portuguese and it was a very affection dog , I 'm still cry missing Amora this year will be 2 years lost, now I have Nina that is very diferent from the others two , i really recommend Boxers who want have a friendly dog very family participating still have a lot of hunting feelings and very silly playfull dog. I think I I get emotive by the patreon dog history and remember mine and desviated from the watercolor, I really enjoy yourart I think your way of paint has some softness in the paint even when you paint more loose. Have a great weekend from Brasil.
Hello Louise and thank you for another beautiful painting. I can hardly wait to see it on Patreon. Would you please provide a link to that specific Unico brush. There site is very confusing.
good morning. I just joined your Patreon account hoping to find a full version and perhaps a sketch of this painting Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. I ws not able to locate it. Do you intend to post this video?
Yes I will make a full length tutorial of this painting for Patreon but it won't be ready until early next year now because I have quite a few tutorials to post before it. Thanks Michael.
Dear Louise, I am back to your Patreon after a year looking for something that would call me. I decided that your clases are the better I founded. Thank you. I have two questions, I do not know how to find the list with the necessary for a specific paint and where to go to download the progress pictures. I tried all the places where I can click, whit no results. Thank you again Pilar
Hi Pilar, thank you! Under each video tutorial I write a message to everyone. You'll see the files listed at the bottom of my messages in a red font (red writing). You can message me directly on Patreon as well.
Thank you for sharing your talents; I could watch you all day! Could you please state which size eradicator brushes you use? Or is it the whole set? I have been using Fritch scrubbers by Cheap Joe's, and I am not sure how they compare. Also, what other brushes do you use and are they Rosemary brushes? I live in the US but would pay the freight for good quality brushes.
Thanks Joy. I think it was a small eradicator brush that I used in this video. I use Da Vinci Maestro series 35 round brushes. I haven't found a better brush.
"I don't want to recreate the photo; I want to create an artwork."
Thank you for this statement! It is a great reminder of the ultimate goal! 💕
This is so bittersweet ~ thank you, and rest well, sweet little Lenny. 🐾
This is so lovely and adorable but
I can't unsee the skull in the left eye reflection!
Loved the bloopers at the end. Great tutorial.
Super cute video. You did a great job 😁👌🏼🌷

I love you new little helper...beautiful painting!
I am starting a painting of a king charles spaniel for a friend of mine, and your instruction is super helpful!
Omg Louise! So adorable.

Very nice Louise, can you paint that darling kitty too? So sweet ❤
Thank you Jean. Yes one day I probably will. He's a cutie.
Oh Louise - my heart missed a beat when I came on YT and this video popped up! This is our first dog to a T - our darling Oskar, he passed away in South Africa but had a lovely 14+ years with us. Will you be doing this on Patreon eventually? Pleased to note your voice sounds better - I hope you feel better too. Love that furry companion!

My version: I’ll probably spent two months to finish mine…😂😂
Amazing detailed art!
Thank you for sharing! ✌️🧡💛
Thank you Lilian.
Louise I am so grateful to you and your tutorials. Your definitely a favorite. Thank you sharing your beautiful art with us and giving us inspiration. May I ask what brush you used in this King Charles Cavalier painting

Thank you Yvonne. The little guy in the video is Leonardo (Leo). He's a new addition to our family.

which types of water cooler paper is best
I like Arches and Fabriano. Cold press is my favourite surface.
Are you putting it on Patreon?
