    Could be the clearest, most effective RUclips watercolor video yet (and I have seen hundreds, perhaps thousands). Louise's style is impeccable.

      I started watercolors in 1992 with One of Zoltan Scabos teachers who introduced me to your techniquesNow I use them on my flowers-portraits and birds You have the professional touch for successful watercolors Thank you for refreshing them to me

      Wow! I never thought that watercolor would make beautiful, different shades of colors just for only one flowers It surprised me Good job and great talents 😍❤️🤟🏻👩🏻‍🦳

    I really like De Masi's videos. She explains her techniques in a clear, easy to hear voice. She goes slow enough to understand the techniques she uses. I watch all of her videos.

  • @christiecornetta372
    @christiecornetta372 3 года назад +1

    Louise, you are a great teacher. Your explanations are great, even for a rank beginner. So many tutorials are just watching someone paint and there is no explanation about how to use the brush or water. THank you!

  • @normaspande3141
    @normaspande3141 3 года назад +2

  • @DenaTollefson
    @DenaTollefson 4 года назад +5

    Hi Louise! Oh your hydrangea painting is stunning. Your dropping one color on another over damp watercolor to create your hydrangea is so nuanced and beautiful. Your narration is so clear- you are an excellent teacher demonstrating hard and soft, organic edges and how to achieve them. Brilliant, Louise!

    I watch and love your wonderful teaching methods. Thank you for doing great free videos for those of us who cannot pay. This is my first comment but wanted to tell you how much these have meant to me as I am just learning w/c. Previously have used acrylics. I love birds and your bird paintings are so beautiful. I especially appreciated your telling about how you used to be so determined to get every detail perfect - and you do that so well!- but have come to a place of wanting to be loose in your approach and those paintings I just love. You are a true nature lover and a great inspiration to me, now 76 years old. Thanks so much.

I have only just discovered a love for art, though I vividly recall my delight in all things artistic as a child of the 60's. Having discovered I actually can draw and paint, I am enthralled, and enabled by the knowledge shared by people like yourself. Blessings to you and yours.
