I love this set of paints! The lioness is gorgeous using the paints.

@AshB_Watercolors Год назад

I really wish you’d do a tutorial of this! This is beyond amazing!

@JGalegria 11 месяцев назад

what are you talking about? this is a tutorial surely? it's a demonstration video with detailed explanations.

@margaretzee8162 11 месяцев назад

Best explanation I’ve seen - thank you SO much! This really helps! And the added bonus - beautiful lioness🦁

@dao8805 Год назад

Beautiful painting as always! Miss seeing peeks of Leo; watercolor and cats go together! (And don't ever stop making these videos - they are very much appreciated.❤🎨)

@LouiseDeMasi Год назад

Thank you! I'll try pop him in soon. He's a bit naughty in the studio. 😂💕

My most favorite water color artist! Good morning sweet Louise from Florida USA 👍🏼💖💋🏝

Good afternoon sweet Lynn! Thank you so much. 💕

@wardkerr2456 11 месяцев назад

You have saved me hours of bumbling about. Thank you.

@s.terris9537 9 месяцев назад

This is an amazing lesson - esp for a beginner. I've been wondering what granulating means for a couple of years now. Now I can appreciate it in your paintings. Trying it out myself will be another story - but at least I understand now! Thank you.

@chastityann9776 11 месяцев назад

I’d love to see a full tutorial of this on Patreon!

@jacintheboudreau1091 Год назад

I would love to see a tutorial💕💞. Thank you for sharing information on granulation 🌈

@mayetmahulilileilani2501 Год назад

This was very helpful… as a beginner, I’d noticed this happening and wondered about it. I came across a couple people who said it was very undesirable. But I seemed to like it. Now I understand how to use this aspect of some watercolor paints purposefully and to good effect. Great to know. Thank you and keep on making! BTW, while writing this comment when done, your reel rolled on and I discovered your bloopers at the very end. A very fun little surprise.

@LouiseDeMasi Год назад

I'm glad you found it helpful. Thank you! I'm happy you found the bloopers too.🥰

@vickiestewart7394 Год назад

I just love what you did with this Tundra set, very impressive! I have the Galaxy and Forest sets, so I KNEW you would be working, naturally, with the Tundra set, LOL!!! When I first tried both of my sets, I admit to being underwhelmed (I love Daniel Smith's granulating sets usually), but then I found out, as you stated, the paper really must be quite wet to get that granulation to come alive. All in all, these are beautiful paints, aren't they? But again, I have never gotten mine to look quite as nice as yours; that is to say, I am not at the level of a DeMasi composition, and doubt I ever will be, but that is quite all right with me! Still so proud of all I've learned from the Master! Just LOVE this beautiful lion, and I may try this even if it never is a Patreon tutorial, this YT tutorial being quite helpful as it is! Thanks again for being so generous!

@AshB_Watercolors Год назад

Yes I too am going to get the reference or one like it and give it a go! I already love granulation when painting wildlife!

@bonbeechler2323 9 месяцев назад

I ordered a dot card of granulating colors from the Jackson store. I enjoy your videos so much!

@user-ri9ub6td5i Год назад

I love your painting, I love your bloopers!

@susanmiddlebrook5882 Год назад

Louise, another stunning, gorgeous painting! I love the pose, and I really love how the granulating paints looked and worked so well to bring out the rock and the lion’s fur! It’s truly so amazing and beautiful. You are such a master with a brush and paints! How you see this in your head and feel it in your heart is obvious when I look at your finished pieces. Your art always, always transport me! You are an amazing artist! These granulating colors are wonderful! They were perfect for this painting. I think the effects are awesome! Another masterpiece from a masterful artist! Congratulations, Louise! You and Dom are so cute. I so enjoy you two working together. God bless you both and your entire family.👏🏻♥️🌹

@LouiseDeMasi Год назад

What a special message. Thank you so much Susan! 🥰

@JGalegria 11 месяцев назад

She is indeed! I only just discovered her channel even though I've been watching many watercolour videos. It took a while for Louise's to show up in my searches. By the way I don't think the lioness posed for this! :D haha!

@toshabeans Год назад

All of your work is beautiful, but i found this one particularly stunning. I'm always amazed at how you manage to create such beautiful works, you make it look easy ❤ Thank you for sharing all of your watercolor wisdom

@adriannabcustomfurniture Год назад

Granulating paints are some of favorites! I make my own most of the time since it's so easy to copy the Schmincke versions and whatnot. I use Daniel Smith for a lot of other special paints because their paints granulate so well! Please tell me this will be a full tutorial on your Patreon! 🙏 Pretty please? 😂🖤

@melissabrundrett7981 7 месяцев назад

Beautiful!! I love the Daniel Smith granulating paints and have quit a few! This set is really lovely! This is the danger of watching your fabulous tutorials … now I have to buy this lovely set!! (LOL)

@a.cornelia Год назад

I haven’t used any of the super granulating sets, but instead have the single pigment colours used in these paints so I mix my own! Much less expensive to have the couple of single pigments than the range of multi-pigment paints haha. I adore them and use them for wildlife as well!

@LouiseDeMasi Год назад

Thank you! That's smart! 🥰

@lainareeves3755 Год назад

Louise, you always crack me up! I always get a chuckle at the end and it sure lifts me up! And yes, I will be embracing granulating paints! Does that mean this will be a Patreon tutorial? I sure hope so! I was going to purchase these paints if you are. I just love your giraffe er I mean lioness. 😊😘 She's such a lovely creature and the color choices really add to her beauty! You are such an amazing artist and even though I haven’t painted anything yet, I feel so privileged to be under your tutelage. I look forward each time you have a new video out! And I hope to do one of your Patreon tutorials soon! Thanks so much! 💕

@Nazareth434 11 месяцев назад

I'm gonna pick up a set of the super granu,ating- just love how they separate and create two colors on wet paper. Gonna have to think through paintings now a bit more Indepth to plan where the colors will separate and come up against a different co,or which also separates into two colors for beautiful effects.

@traciesawrey9084 Год назад

Thanks for this. It looks so beautiful. I love the granulating paints 👍

@davidmccullough6600 Год назад

This particular painting is so lovely. Such a simple subject and backgrounds, but your selection and application of paints makes it masterful. Thank you for sharing it in this way. Also, I always watch you videos to the end because I so enjoy the bloopers. I'm sure it's extra work to put them together, but please know that it's appreciated

@privateprivate5409 Год назад

I used to shy away from granulating colors and preferred flat smooth washes but over time I’ve come to really appreciate and love the wonderful organic shapes and mixes you can achieve with granulating colors. An amazing painting as usual!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!

@lindenjenesse5078 Год назад

The colour separation creates lots of lovely surprises. Thank you Linden.

I have this set and I love it. Granulating paints are fun. Though best not to fuss with the paint and not to layer to much.

Great tip! Thank you Monique.

@dianes326 Год назад

Thank you for another great video! I so appreciate all the hard work you, Dom and your son put into making these videos so special! I love granulating paints and have mostly used them for foliage and rocks, etc. I started playing with them for fur so it’s fun to see a master artist 😊 use them so beautifully! Texture is such an important element in design, so it makes sense that we should embrace it in watercolor also.

Fabulous painting! Those paints were perfect for the lioness. I bought 2 Rosemary & Co eradicator brushes. Haven't been painting, but I look forward to using them! I haven't used granulating paints. Still a beginner, trying to soak all the knowledge in that I can. Thank you so much for your lovely inspiration and insight!

@LouiseDeMasi Год назад

Thank you very much! I hope you enjoy using the eradicator brushes. I use them often.

@amandasymon4363 Год назад

I now want to embrace granulating paints - I always use my eradicating paint brush (thanks to you0 for highlights - I’m excited to introduce these paints to my work. Thank you 🙏

@viktoriazuban3575 Год назад

Great painting! I’m trying to embrace granulating colors, but every time I feel like I want smooth them 😁. Love your bloopers at the end, shows that painting and filming isn’t as easy as it may seem on RU-vid sometimes 😂

@LouiseDeMasi Год назад

Thank you Viktoria. It's always a struggle filming. 🥰

@ninner196 Год назад

I have sodalite genuine as an add on for stone. It is from Daniel Smith. Even though it is blue ish one can easily change the color. It’s great for grey stone, rocks with moss etc. since I can lighten or darken it also just one works for many uses. It is on my studio Quiller palette

@elviamunguia8397 Год назад

I’ve been saving to get exactly the set that you have now. They are beautiful but very pricey! Love the effects and the separation……❤
