Louise you are such an inspiration to me and truly my watercolor mentor. I have learned more from you than any other artist and I love your sweet voice. You are so appreciated by so many of us. Thank you for all your hard work and for sharing your God given talent!!
I've seen many of these wet in wet videos over time on RUclips...I can honestly tell you that yours was one of the best ones, very informative, with a purpose, and close up enough to really grasp what is going on. You did outstanding with this. It will help many...and your bird is stunning.
I love your tutorials! You explain your techniques with great clarity and simplicity. And you share the little things too... they make a big difference. Thank you Louise for all that you share and teach. 💕
Louise your tutorials are awesome. I have learned so much about the techniques and best of all how to use them in a painting. I’m very new to painting but I could see a huge improvement in my work after only one of your videos. You explain things so clearly. Thank you.
Watching you paint the background a little at a time has helped me to understand where I have been going wrong with my paintings. I was trying to do it all at once. And your right, it drys too fast and I ended up with hard lines. You are such a great artist. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I’m a beginner and my fav technique is the one I’m working on, whatever that might be. So much to learn . You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for sharing your painting expertise. So helpful.
I have followed you joyously throughout this year, not only because you teach and inspire so beautifully, but because I recognize you as a kindred spirit. Warm wishes from Canada for a peaceful Christmas season and many new gifts of nature’s wonder.
I’m enjoying all of your tutorials. I’m a beginner and love the wet on wet. Your birds are beautiful. I’ve done the cardinal, the wren, the gardenia and I’m doing the Santa now. My first lessons were painting realistic pictures and now the wet on wet is my new favorite.
Thank you! You do a wonderful job of explaining wet on wet . I have really struggled with how to not get a total mess when I try to do backgrounds. You really helped me to understand how to blend without the hard edges. You are a wonderful instructor!
Thank you! Loving your videos Louise. You asked what favourite technique we had, mine was when I was learning watercolour I was shown how to lose an edge, wow, magical! I lost every edge everywhere for months, completely overdid it, but it was brilliant to learn.
Such a selfless person... you are sharing your knowledge without any hesitation.. thank sooo much.. Im a beginner to water color paintings.. planning to go through your each an every tutorial.. 😊😊
I have to express my appreciation for your gentle teaching techniques as well as your great basic techniques.I especially loved the two tigers .I adore the big cats.I am just beginning to paint with watercolors, and hope to practice enough to get good at it.
You've inspired me to get out the watercolors and start painting again. Your techniques are incredible; I love the table salt technique the best, especially when painting bird feathers. Thank you for posting your videos and sharing your incredible skills, and I LOVE the bloopers! So funny!
Love it, thank you for sharing your talent with us. I actually think I can do this....we will see...you are a great teacher, yes you are. And your humor is delightful. More bloopers please!
Merci Louise pour vos explications. J’apprends énormément avec vous et, comme vous, j’aime utiliser le “wet on wet” et le “wet on dry”. Les animaux sont aussi mes sujets préférés. Vos conseils me sont très précieux. Salutations du Canada. 😘
Hi, I am an architect from India,I loved wet and hard techniques. Your videos very helpful, I would like to send some of my work for your reviews so I can improve more as artist, do let me know how do I reach to you.Thanks a lot for all your tutorial for support artist improve around the world, water colour is magic itself and in my opinion every painting comes with natural effect which makes it awesome 👍
I always look forward to Louise's tutorial. I have been painting off and on for a number of years. I never fail to learn something new. I could watch her paint for hours.
You are such a gifted artist and I love your work. But I also appreciate your amazing teaching method. You have a way of expressing exactly what a newer artist needs to do to move along on their watercolor journey. Thank you so much! ❤️
After watching this, I watched video on how blooms occur, and how to create them on purpose. Blooms have been a source of frustration. Now I understand how to avoid as well as how to implement them. I think I also need to relax more, and not be in such a hurry, so I have a better eye for what is happening. I will be watching upcoming videos for further tips, as well as the joy I get from your beautiful art work.
New subscriber today, your Kookaburra thumbnail caught my attention & your correct pronunciation of Arches (wc paper brand) piqued my interest. Your Sulphur Crested Cockies truly lifted my spirits & your thorough explanation won me over.
Perfect for the beginner and a great review for the experienced. Best explanation of background painting.. creaping along keeping the water just ahead of the paint. Thank you!! That has always held me prisoner! I shall practice doing it correctly!!
Very easy to follow and well explained been trying watercolour for 3years now with some successes but with your explanation of these techniques I shall go into my next painting with a little more confidence many thanks
Muchas gracias por las maravillas que subes!!!! Extraordinario tutorial como todo lo que enseñas 🥰😍😍😍😍💖💖💖👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 No puedo creer que tengas tantas visitas y tan pocos agradecimientos y pocos likes, que egoísta es la gente!!!!
You explain things so very nicely....more than many watercolor illustrators on RUclips, and I have learned so much from you. I will be joining you once again, when this mad dash of the Xmas time has passed and then it will be time for me to have some fun. In the meantime....I will be practicing! Thank you.
I tend to use wet on wet a bit, but I do like to have a variation of loose areas that blend and fade into nothing. I also like glazing too! It allows me to get a lot of depth, I find this technique especially useful when doing skin tones. From time to time I will do a combination of the two and glaze with a wet in wet to get a variation in tones, I get a more interesting result. To answer your question I do not have a favorite.
That was a great tutorial. Thank you for sharing your experience and talent. I love the unpredictability of wet on wet BUT other areas I like different techniques to create texture, like dry brush. On a different note, where did you purchase your lazy Susan style palette? Thank you♡
I have just discovered you and love your work. Do you stretch your paper as you use quite a lot of water and wondered how you stop your paper from buckling.
Hi Louise - i am about to become a Patreon of your group as i LOVE your work and whilst in lockdown i have been watching numerous RUclips tutorials. My watercolours are due to arrive tomorrow (cant wait!!!) I do have a question, the Raven bird you have in the above tutorial looks like its on a cradle board. I do this a lot with Yupo paper and alcohol ink artwork but wondered what you adhered the waterpaper to the board with. I use Golden soft gel with the Yupo paper but not sure if i should use that for waterpaper or not. Cant wait to check out all the videos on Patreon you've done.
Hi Marion. That's exciting! I have a video on Patreon that demonstrates how I glue paper to a board. I use Golden gel medium. When you join I'll send you a link to a clickable index I have made so you can find the video where I demonstrate that. I look forward to painting with you.
I'm happy to have the chance to learn more from you on patreon. Right now I'm just curious about your brushes. It looks like besides one that comes to a point, you also use one that appears to be more blunt at the end. I've never seen that type of brush before so maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me :)
Your Paintings are so Stunning ..... and with the Cockatoos and Kookaburras you have to be an Australian too ! - I have just started my watercolour journey and your tutorials are brilliant I am learning so much and you explain it so brilliantly, I can follow what you are saying and practice it. ****** Question - Where did you get the rotating palette - That is awesome...… ********- Thank You for sharing your knowledge and I look forward to your next edition..... Hope you have a Beautiful Christmas
Thank you very much. I'm so pleased the tutorials are helping you. Yes I'm Australian 🦘! I have a video here on RUclips that tells you all about the palette. There is a link in the description of the video for Robax Engineering (who made it for me). Here is the video: ruclips.net/video/9z6L856PnNA/видео.html ❤️
My pleasure Carole. Thank you. Robert from Robax Engineering in the US made it for me. I have a video devoted to the palette. In the description of this video I've put the link to the palette: ruclips.net/video/9z6L856PnNA/видео.html
Hi Saima. It varies with each painting. I don't time myself. I'll spend 2 or 3 days on an average painting but I take plenty of breaks through the day.
I'm learning so much from you. Thank you from another retired teacher!
Msr Louise you are the most wonderful Teacher
Thank you for your soft paintings and your soft spoken manners. Your every video is such a delight!

Hi there I have a question.. How much time do you take to make one painting?
Hi Saima. It varies with each painting. I don't time myself. I'll spend 2 or 3 days on an average painting but I take plenty of breaks through the day.
Wow
