Errors: At the 6.39 minute mark I say, "I keep that paint away from the paint edge." I should have said, "I keep that paint away from the water's edge." I also say just after, "When I get closer to the paint edge I stop painting." Sorry I should have said, "When I get closer to the water's edge I stop painting." Sorry it was a long week! 😳

Oops! Just noticed it's from a year ago Lol!
I can comment on RUclips now! I must have changed something in my settings today. (I'll never figure this phone out)
This is the best watercolour background "tutorial" that I have watched until now. You explained everything so clearly and concisely. Thank you for taking the time to also demonstrate what you were explaining by showing us how you had painted backgrounds on your own paintings. I, too, have been reluctant to paint backgrounds on my paintings for fear I would ruin them but now I'm excited to give these a try! Thanks again for the wonderful video. I'm so happy the RUclips algorithm lead me to your channel and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your stuff!
I love that you leave the bloopers in your video. It is great when you can laugh at yourself. Thank you for putting these amazing background instruction out here for us.
Glad you like them! Thank you Cecelia.
Louise you are such a good teacher! Love,
Love all your art work! This was a very good tutorial on how to do backgrounds! I really found it helpful! Thank you!
Not only do you explain techniques and what you don't want, you clearly demonstrate them which is so essential. I am inexperienced and everyone has a different idea in their head. If you actually show what you are talking about everyone is on same page. Best instructor ever!!!!
Thanks very much Sybil. ❤️
love the bloopers!
Louise, your tutorials are the only ones where I've found the answers to my doubts on watercolor. You really think in our struggles with this amazing art when you prepare the tutorials that, by the way, are so well illustrated and explained. Thank you. I also love the tone and softness of your voice: peaceful and without stress.
Thank you Louise! You are wonderful and so talented and so fun!
Fantastic video tutorial, thanks for the work you put in to show us everything. I’m new and I appreciate your time. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your chrysanthemum, and will attempt to paint one like it. Also you look so cute- makeup is gorgeous and your hair is beautiful.
Love all your watercolor videos, they have helped me so much on my watercolor journey !!😂
This is an amazing demonstration! Thank you SO much!
Thanks Louise, this was so informative. Love your tutorials.
Louise, thank you for the very educational video. I am new to watercolor and your video was very helpful on avoiding hard lines, not fussing and how to paint with various states of paper wetness. Your video is also good with having the sound at a good level and sharing how to avoid mistakes. It is my favorite video to date.
Love the bloopers! amazing class! greetings from Perú
