My favorite thing about your art is the blend of realistic areas with a dash of loose abstraction that immediately conveys "this is watercolor"! The background caught my eye in this one, I love that hard edge dry brush stroke on the left allowing us to see all the bristles of your brush. It worked out so lovely :D

I agree Fabriano Artistico paper is great. I ALWAYS used Arches but I tried Fabriano and couldn't believe how wonderful it was to paint on. I now prefer it to all other paper.

After watching so many of them I am confident that it is well worth my time and money to take some of your skill share classes or sign up for your patreon. I am impressed with your knowledge, ability to demonstrate and describe techniques, and your professionalism. I’m grateful to have found you!

@junelawniczak3794 4 года назад

Another wonderful video! I paint a lot of birds mostly because I love them so. Right now we are seeing the new baby quail that are always born this time of year. One family (we have numerous that come into our yard for the seed we put out) that had about 20 babies!! They are hard to count because they don't ever stop moving but there seems to be at least that many. Thanks for sharing the birds (and snake) that live in your yard. Their songs are beautiful!

I love Fabriano artistico for the satinato (i think it translated with hot press) and Arches for the cold press. Your painting is lovely, especially the rendering of the light; and what a wonderful animal that pyton is!

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thanks yoy Marina. I've not tried Fabriano in hot pressed. He's a big boy- or girl 🐍😳💕

@lindenjenesse5078 4 года назад

I just bought some hot press paper by Fabriano, but I haven't tried it yet. Now I'm intrigued! Have you considered painting the python? (Or would that upset too many of your fans?) My step-brother used to have and manage a reserve of reptiles in south-western Colorado, USA, including a python. Apparently, the snake once became upset at something, bit him and started to swallow his hand and arm! The tricky part, he said, was unhooking the curved fangs. He also had a rattle snake pit! Oi! (He was always a little crazy!) Thanks for your lovely tutorials! I have learned so much from you!!

Louise I found that Arche paper has changed, I use hot press it's not the beautiful eggshell it used to be , i had a piece left from the previous stack ,the difference is very noticeable , i tried fabriano and loved it,I buy the arch full sheet in 10 package, I need to use that up thank you for sharing

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Good to know! Thank you Maria. I am really enjoying painting on the Fabriano paper. It's a bit cheaper than Arches too.

Hello Louise!! I am from Argentina, I love birds and also your work, which is incredible. Here we have a woodpecker (Colaptes melanochloros) that has a very spotted front and a very barred back, and paint it is very difficult. Can you show us in a tutorial how you paint this type of birds or feathers? Thank you very much for your beautiful videos, I look forward to your birds every week. Greetings from Argentina!!

@northernbirder7351 4 года назад

I love your appreciation of nature as well as your painting technique. I love birds and appreciate what we have here in Canada very much. Now I know the Pied Butcherbirds. Please keep painting birds and animals. I love it!

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thank you very much! My younger son went to Canada last year. He loved it and he loved all the animals he saw too. He messaged me when he saw his first squirrel. He was thrilled to see it. Then he saw wolves and bears and he loved every minute of it.

@Plum_and_Cherry 4 года назад

Could you please do a tutorial on sketching? My sketches always turn out wonky and my mistakes even though I’ve tried to rub out always seem kind of stay. Thanks

@maryalgar8779 4 года назад

You almost lost me at the mention of the python. Are these quite common in your area? I'd be afraid to venture very far off your deck. The birds are very cute and glad they alert you when the python is around. The painting is lovely and the background suits it. All your bird paintings in particular are spectacular.

@friedaschnell6887 4 года назад

You have so many birds that I've never seen or heard of in Australia. You are definitely blessed. I enjoy learning about them from you as well as learning watercolor techniques from you. Their song is lovely. But I must know, what happened to the snake? We have plenty here in Texas U.S. I'm not a fan. I'd be sounding an alarm right with the butcher birds. 😱

@cynthiakeith8760 4 года назад

As usual I really enjoyed watching your tutorial of the painting and the story of your python watching birds! Our kids have a crazy labbie cross dog.... who goes silly when she spots pythons in the yard. I will let them know of your birds as spotters as well. I am looking forward to your Patreon full tutorial of this painting! Thanks Louise.

Good morning and thank you for your lovely videos. My question is about the paper, when I looked closely it has a notation that it is mould made, what does that mean?

@terrygray6475 4 года назад

Nope Nope Nope on the snake...The birds are lovely!

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Lol. He's harmless- non venomous. They are good to have around because they eat rats and mice.

@susanjerrell9220 4 года назад

I actually do learn a lot from your videos. Are you self-taught? You should do a video about yourself. You know why your bloopers are so funny is you seem like a very proper English lady and then tne bloopers show you in a different light. (I know you aren't British.)

@elflordsjourneys 4 года назад

The lamp black seemed to have a violet hue, didn't get dark black until you put on the third layer, is that normal? I need to try mixing my own colors more instead of using premixed so much. Love all your paintings. 😀🧝‍♂️

@rnee1000 4 года назад

I use both papers. I heard Arches is better when glazing with numerous layers and that it's easier to lift color. But so far they seem equally good. What are the dimensions of your paper?

@don9133 4 года назад

Friday made, and I am going to have to try the Fabriano paper. I have birds nearby, in the morning? They have a meeting outside my window to plan their day. As well as the crows? I am at times serenaded by five seagulls from my neighbour's roof. Do you dab your brush in some dish detergent before applying masking fluid?

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thanks Don. Thats sounds a bit like our place. It's the birds that wake us up every morning too. We don't need to set an alarm. I didn't put detergent on my masking fluid brushes but I know that's a useful tip to protect them. I always apply it with my old synthetic brushes that I don't use anymore and I wash them straight away with soap as soon as I'm finished.

@don9133 4 года назад

I also found that using the dish soap made it easier to get it off the paper without tearing or smearing.

I love the birds, and how they were concerned for your safety. I’m not gonna lie once I saw the python it was hard to concentrate on the tutorial. I hope the snake left.

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Lol.. I think he lives here Dora. He/she is harmless (non-venomous). They eat rats and mice so they are good to have around. They'll eat small birds too so that's why the Butcherbirds were alarmed. 😬 💕

@indigodande4345 4 года назад

omg >.< where the heck do you live that you have pythons at your door! but blick usually runs some deals on discounted sheets get 10 and get a good discounted on each sheet of about 3 bucks. You can't fail with fabriano. Except their white 140 lb hot press (which feels slick) is garbage i think. The 300 lb hot press, cold press, and I love using the ultra white 140 hot press it has a cloth like texture to it.

@aprilharvey2225 4 года назад

@billunderwood8096 4 года назад

Thank you Louise for your beautiful paintings! I love Fabriano also- I previously mentioned that I had found Fabriano paper in a 'soft press' which I prefer. it is a surface texture between a cold press and a hot press- so nice to paint on. Were you able to locate it? I'm in the U S and I have ordered it from dickblick.com. It's listed under Fabriano Artistico Extra White watercolor paper - it comes in sheets 22X30 - 140 lb and 300 lb

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing Bill. I have only tried their cold pressed but you and someone else have mentioned how good the 'soft press' is. I'll see if I can get it over here.

Thanks so much for your tutorials!
