Loved the cute little owl. He looks like the Australian Boo Book owl.
At the end of this video your words resonated with my watercolor journey. I love the end results I get but getting there has always been intimidating, as well as a mystery. Thank you for your honesty about your approach with a drawing followed with a color study.
Again, thank you.
Brilliantly done, fell in love with your little owl......well done Louise. From Elmé in South Africa🎉❤
Louise you are remarkable-one of the best teacher on 💕❤️💕❤️❤️
Handsome little guy. Awesome Tutorial Louise. Thank you.
I am just learning and with your teaching it has made it more fun than struggle. Thank you
My most favorite bird is owl 🦉
Again, you have inspired me. This is just absolutely beautiful and is relatable. While I enjoyed watching and learning, I value your final comments most. It seems like every watercolor IS a struggle for me. Realizing now that each one has its own "personality" helps me not feel defeated. I'll approach each one now as a new "friend." LOL
Thank you SO much for helping me grow as a fairly new watercolorist. 🤗
Did you mean the final comments Carol or the 'final' comments🤭🤭🤭 did you watch the bloopers?
Louise, this is gorgeous. Your feathers are out of this world.
Love the tutorial!! Thank you. The comments at the end were very comforting!
It's such a relief to hear those words from you. Truly. I've been painting for almost a year now. So, not much at all when it comes to watercolor, although I've been trying to practice every single day. I can see how I have improved and there are days when I feel marveled at what I have accomplished so far, but also there are days... 😖 yeah, it can be so, so frustrating, it feels like I just started. Plus everything that's been going on, which can be so depressing and distracting, with that constant feeling of impotence, the last thing I long to feel is the frustration and lack of joy about the one thing that's been keeping me sane during all these months of total isolation. Everything in life demands some effort, perseverance, and dedication, especially in troubled times like these. Hearing from your experience and knowing that the struggle is part of the journey no matter how long, I see maybe it's time to find my way and tools to deal with it as you did. I started painting for its therapeutic effects, trying to cope with depression and a recent burnout. Although I started painting mostly for relaxing purposes, which was helpful, of course, it was the routine and studies that had a real impact in the end. So, it's not necessarily bad news that my challenges with watercolor will last like...forever. 😅
On a side note: I tried to match the Antwerp Blue with my student paints (Van Gogh). By looking at its neat texture on your palette, it reminded me of Phtalo Green. So, I mixed it with Prussian Blue, Cobalt Blue, and Cerulean, and they all looked pretty similar, as expected, and quite close to the reference paint (as seen on my tablet screen). Is there a mix that you'd recommend best to match that paint? I also added a bit of Burnt Sienna to match the mix you used for the background.
Thank you so, so much for the inspirational thoughts and for sharing your knowledge, always.
All the best.
Your owl is lovely and fluffy ♥
You really are patient to make 2 studies before the final painting without getting bored. The result is stunning anyway, and it seems to be a method that is more satisfying for you.
I'm a beginner and I am anxious before and during painting with watercolour. Thank you for sharing your own battles and the encouragement. I love your paintings - I love animals and birds in particular and I love your style! Take care
I loved the owl! You did great job on feet.. probably too hard on your self.. as we are as artist! Anyway you do it always turns out awesome! Thanks for sharing with us😊 you have an awesome gift and talent.
He’s a cute little guy Louise and as always, you did a beautiful job!! I see what you mean about the feet feeling awkward, but you incorporating the Antwerp Blue fixed that issue. And what a great blue!! Thank you for sharing your little owl tutorial with us!!
Thank you Caryn! 😊
Beautiful owl, and I really like the Antwerp Blue. I'll have to add that to my palette. Owl feathers are difficult, with their very soft edges, and you handled them so well. Thank you for your tutorials!
Thank you Anne-Marie.
So cute n specially the eyes are so lively.lov the way you teach.Thanks my great teacher 🙏💓
Love your little owl. Thanks for sharing.
What a gorgeous little owl Louise! Thank you for sharing your process with us 😊 Have a lovely weekend!😊💜
Thank you Sarah. You too! ❤️
This was very useful, as I’ve endeavoured to paint my first bird as well. I too struggled with certain areas where I was unsure if negative painting was the way to go, or soldier on with light wash overlays (and possibly risk overworking the area). The latter was what happened. I’ve since gone back to my painting after watching this tutorial with the hope that I can fix the problem area now that I’ve watched your treatment of feathers. Love your work, and I learn so much from your tutorials!
Such a cute little owl!
Antwerp Blue is such a lovely color!!! Love it with the dark brown. Such a fantastic combination. Can't wait to see a tutorial with it!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Louise! Great demo. Your comments at the end ring true for sure. I particularly struggle to keep things loose and transparent, so I’ll be watching for this tutorial on Patreon.
I had bought the Antwerp blue before you’d finished saying bl 😂😂it’s gorgeous. This painting is stunning can’t wait to try it even though it’ll be absolutely nothing like it 😂. Thank you Louise I love your tutorials and am learning so much. ❤
What a wonderful little owl and I just love the colors you chose. The blue is so warm and friendly which is difficult for a blue. Thank you for your encouraging words, I too find watercolor challenging but it's so lovely I can't give it up! I hope to get better with your help.
Beautiful work I love to Paint owls x
Amazing approach ..love love your videos
A Burroughing owl!! Love, love, love him! Thank you, Louise! Great job as always. You are the best!😘
Aaah - another wonderful painting - plus graphite study - Louise! You really are so thorough and patient, thinking things through, then passing on your knowledge to us - thank you! Look forward to the tutorial ;-) The Antwerp Blue is really beautiful! By the way: I love your little bits of film at the ends of some of your videos - they make me smile - I particularly like the one where you do a little dance off screen! I think you'd do well in musical theatre!
Lol.... Thank you Nettie. 🥰
This came out beautifully! Can't believe you only used three colors.
I love this owl! I can't wait to give him a go.
Thank you Bridget. Yes it will be on Patreon as soon as I get it done.
Thank you Louise! And thank you for the encouragement, too. It absolutely helps.
So soft and lovely.
Thank you! 😊
Such amazing detail class! Thank You very much for sharing! Very grateful 🙏❤️🌹
Thank you for sharing your expertise, and being honest about watercolor being a struggle too. Seeing your beautiful paintings and your willingness to make pencil drawing and studies is an encouragement. I don't like to take the time to do that but I can see it's very worthwhile.
Can't wait to see this on Patreon amazing just those few colors! Very very pretty
Once again, you made it look so easy, you are so talented. I love this owl.. 💕
Gorgeous
Thank you so much for your honesty with the struggle that watercolor painting can be! Sometimes I feel that I am always in correction mode, which can be so frustrating especially since I have essential tremor which causes shaking. Sometimes I think that I must be crazy to even attempt painting and then some kind of magic happens and I come up with a painting that is fairly decent (for me) and so I proceed. I think that knowing that you too struggle somehow helps me to continue on, especially when I see the beautiful work that you have done. I have only been painting for about 1 year and I just hope that after 9 years I will be a little bit approaching your skill! Thank you for sharing with us!!💕
Louise, I love your outtakes. Thanks for your amazing tutorials and being “ real”.❤️
You make it look easy. Your struggles turn out wonderfully, but I hear you loud and clear. Never REALLY knowing if the work will turn out is like that guillotine hanging over the table until the end. Not like oils at all. But I agree with you, maybe that’s why it is SUCH a fascinating medium. Hard to conquer and yet fun to play with. I love this little owl, especially the eyes and how loose you went with the feathers. One day I might graduate to loose... still holding on to my details, but using more wet into wet now. Yay Louise!
I love owls. Exceptional as always. I think this is one I can handle. I believe it will be attempted tomorrow.
I was a somewhat lazy artist in that drawing once was enough. Seeing your process last week and this week, I can see the benefits of doing both studies. The owl itself is beautifully done!
Lovely colors!
Lucky little owl, you painted it with love. Beautiful both of them 💃 I want to try the Winsor blue color as I love it so much 😋 you always make your work look so easy. Thanks for the tips 🥰
Thank you! 😊
this is so delicate and subtle ahh
This is wonderful! I almost bought Antwerp Blue today at my local art supply store as it looked like such a soft color. Will be sure to pick it up next time I’m there. Looking forward to the owl tutorial. Thank you, Louise. 💙🇦🇺💙
Wonderful! Thanks Nancy.
your work is the best Ive seen AND your very funny love the out takes lol and your cat.
Thank you very much!
Louise love the owl and colors❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Leann.
Another beautiful painting. Loves your tutorials.
I really love the Antwerp Blue! I’m going to have to buy it!!
Just lovely♡♡♡
This is probably the best watercolor painting I've ever seen.
Amazing Job Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou Louise.. ive just discovered you and Im binging on yr tutorials.. WONDERFUL!
I asked for this! You beautiful sweet woman. I will paint this for my sweet little sister Cathy💕💋
I loved watching this - the little owl is just lovely! Lots of good tips in Louise painting this - thank you!
Thank you for sharing your feelings about watercolour. I think you do amazing paintings with this medium, whilst it is tricky, it is beautiful ❤️
Love the colours! Antwerp blue is really pretty I must buy that :)
Beautiful love it, thank you Louise!
Louise-thank you so much for sharing your struggles with painting in watercolour. I fight, to some degree, with every painting I do. I feel better knowing this just part of painting in watercolour. I'm trying to take a "one and done" approach. It seems the less I fiddle with the painting the better it turns out.
This is awesome! I can’t wait to do this! Thank you 😊
Antwerp blue and Van Dijck brown - Antwerp is wel represented in this beautiful painting!
it is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing your talents.
Beautiful owl painting. I love the contrast of his bright eyes with the soft fluffy feathers. Thanks again for the wonderful tutorial and I look forward to it being a tutorial on your Patreon.
Loved your Owl painting i am just painting a Halloween Owl xx
I love you so much, those bloopers at the end made me laugh so much! Thank you for everything.
Louise, this is beautiful! Thanks for your encouraging words and study tip at the end.
So cool‼️‼️‼️👏🏻
I also asked for this on Patreon, so thank you so much! I believe it is the national bird of Greece? I will be giving this one a go, since I hope to give it to my brother 🤞🏼. His wife is Greek and they love to visit the Greek Islands.
This was increadable x
Excellent work Louise...
Such a lovely blue! (I say this as I immediately add it to my Jackson’s Wishlist 🙋🏼♀️) Thank you Louise - such a great message at the end ! The challenge makes it a rewarding process - thank you for having us with you on this journey ! 💕
Beautiful. Antwerp Blue - going to look that one up. It reminds me somewhat of prussian blue. Your work is spectacular and you are an excellent teacher. Interesting to hear you say that you still struggle with watercolour. From your paintings, one would never know that.
So cute, well done!!
GORGEOUS!!! ❤
This is beautiful!!! 🤩. What talent you have there !! Thanks for sharing.
Louise,Brilliant . I’m glad to hear those words .. beacause all my paintings are a battle to me !
Beautiful! Thank you for your encouragement!
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial, and for your outtakes at the end, good laughs! I love that blue so much, and I don't have antwerp blue, but I do have vandyke brown, so I mixed that with prussian blue and it looks quite similar. Can't wait to try this owl.
I love your style, and I really want to move in this direction. I struggle far too much with details and need to learn to simplify (finding areas to use soft and hard edges), as you demonstrate and remind us in so many of your videos. I look forward to joining your Patreon soon.
Hope this is on Patreon. You’re the best.
Only 3 colors? So beautiful I would love to try it next tine.
Thanks a lot for sharing ☺️
Just love this one ! You are one of my favorites
Louise I love your owl. Where do you get your references. Are they photos you take or do you use a service. I love painting animals! 💕
So sweet. I love the soft colors.
Would you consider painting a hawk at some point? I love hawks. I will try to paint one myself from a photo reference.
Yes I will. Thank you Renee. ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous! 😻 I want tog try this. What kind of papper du You use here? Thank You 👏🍁🍁🍁
جميل جدا Thank you
I long to be able to paint like you do. Your style is so beautiful, I love it.
I've watched all your tutorials but never dared try to recreate one as I know I'm now here near capable enough. Do you have any advice on where to start please? Should I be working on sketching more initially, or just jump straight in and learn through trying? And if that were the case, is there one of your tutorials you'd recommend to start with? (I was thinking maybe the succulent ones look more straightforward for being in smaller similar sections?) Many thanks x
I started water color recently but have taught various art subjects before...and yes the best way is to jump on in, start at simple projects, don’t worry if it looks terrible, complete the painting as some parts will work and then you learn by analyzing what goes wrong! It’s a beautiful but difficult medium!
@@louisecollier1449 thank you! I'll jump in and not worry about the end result. Practice makes perfect! ☺️
Hi Michelle, Thank you! Jump right in and start playing with the paint. Get a feel for it. I have a few beginner friendly, simple paintings on Patreon. I have two pen and ink watercolour dragonflies that get you playing with the paint.
@@LouiseDeMasi thank you Louise.. I'll check that one out and just give it a go! Thank you ☺️
😍😍😍
Cooool😍
This lil one is adorable! You are an amazing Artist! Will this be in Skillshare? I am new at watercolors and need all the help I can get. lol Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
oh this is sublime!! I'm a broken record...please doe a Patreon tut!
For someone so serious you are truly funny Louise!! Cute little owl too. Do you do most of your paintings in just 3 colours? Could you please tell me how to get to your shop to see your art work as I can only see 4 or 5 mugs, t shirts etc... thanks from WA🥰
Wonderfully generous as usual...are you happy with Da Vinci brushes Louise??
Antwerp blue is the color Beatrix Potter used for Peter Rabbit’s coat
Beautiful owl Louise..what grade of pencil do you use for your sketches, it looks very soft...
Thank you Jenny. I use a 5b or 6b usually.
Love your video! I have painted white owl too!!! Lets be friends! Cheers
