Thank you Louise! I enjoyed the video as well!

@sylphofthewildwoods5518 2 года назад

I have always loved birds. I have had pet cockatiels and cockatoos for over 30 years. I feed wild birds year round. Your bird paintings are marvelous. I hope to try my hand at painting some. I had a hand injury 20 years ago so I have not done Art for that long. You inspire me to try. Thank you, @Louise De Masi

@togetvj 3 года назад

Louise, your painting of the eye is better than the eye in the photo!

@user-lu6ye9me3q 2 года назад

Louise, I love watching you paint! I'm hoping you could make a video addressing something I really struggle with: backgrounds! How to choose where to paint in the background, if you apply one at all, and how to choose the right colors to compliment your subject? Thank you!

@janhudson55 4 года назад

Hi Louise I am a realist watercolour artist and love painting birds and I also tell my students if you don’t get the eye right or the beak it will not look real. Love your videos and your artwork is beautiful. Cheers Jan

@n.ayisha 4 года назад

i am below-beginner in my watercolor journey, but i am learning so much from watching your videos. i should also add... this knitter was much amused by your crochet-for-sanity breaks during the outtakes.

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Lol.... I thought the knitters/crocheters would relate to that. Thank you!

@lindenjenesse5078 4 года назад

The dimension you get in the eye is just amazing!! And you take the bird's beak from a scratched and well-used tool to a stunning, glowing jewel!! So beautiful! I can get so wrapped up in a reference picture, trying to repeat every detail, and you remind us to keep the emphasis on the "reference" part so that the piece becomes art! I appreciate that so much!!

@ottie1954 4 года назад

Your birds are beyond perfection, Louise: you can paint .....their souls! 😍🍀🌹

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thank you very much! I love my birds. 😘

@carolb801 4 года назад

Absolutely magnificent. I am inspired every single time I watch. Nearly 4am in Aus, and I want to get up and paint. Paint 🎨 😊

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Lol... I know the feeling well. I wish I didn't have to sleep sometimes. Thank you!

@marycope2278 4 года назад

so many of the artists I watch on RU-vid paint quick and loose. It is refreshing to see someone who cares about detail and is willing to take the time to provide an accurate but artistic rendering of a subject. If I weren't already 30 years alder than you I would say I want to grow up to be like you. Love your tutorials. Thank you.

@1981shanrelle 4 года назад

As a parrot owner and avid lover of avians, I’m so glad you shared this tutorial. You really capture the majesty of the cockatoo. Thank you so much for your time and expertise!

You made that bird come alive right before my eyes! Your skills are impeccable! As always, I’m grateful that we have you to live vicariously though these troubled times. Your love of birds shine through your paintings. I’m tickled that it’s on the Skillshare platform. Take care.

@schoonergirl2658 4 года назад

The eye is so realistic I almost expected it to swivel around and look back at me! Your detail work is stunning and I thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

@MD-hk8xq 4 года назад

Wow wow wow! Just stunning and so excited for this!! I loved seeing your other birds my gosh, gorgeous works of art! Thank you for sharing this as realistic eyes and beaks seem paramount!

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thanks MD. I didn't film all of this one. It got away from at the end (a bit like the elephant) so I turned off the camera. I'd need to paint another one to make a full length tutorial.

@MD-hk8xq 4 года назад

@@LouiseDeMasi Got it! But it is sensational just the same! Maybe someday when you have more time on your hands. I'm pretty new at wc painting but right away it seemed the eyes and the beak were so important so I hope to really improve with them. Thank you for all you do!

@crystalheart9 3 года назад

I've just found your channel about 2 days ago and can't stop watching your videos. Your instruction is the best!

@don9133 4 года назад

As always very informative and Louise the bird's eye was wonderful. I loved its shine and of course how it had a 3-D appearance. I saw a few things in how you did it, that of course, I have to "borrow" and apply on one of my projects. :) I'll keep an eye out for your next posting.

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Don. Lol....'Eye'll' be busy this week making more. Now to try some human eyes.

@karenfinneganart2480 3 года назад

Thank you for sharing your techniques Loiuse, since I've been following you I have improved so much. I sold my first painting today! Yay

@sueshanks9447 4 года назад

Again I am learning new techniques from you that are amazing ! When you painted the eye I liked how you used watercolor paint and then you used a Black Ink watercolor pen (which I did not know existed!) and then the watercolor pencil. The eye is sooo realistic. The whole bird is beautiful. Thank you for your videos !

@lauraletchemaiteetchemaite1753 4 года назад

This is amazing Louis! The eye is so real! Thank you so much for the video, is very instructive and fun at the end.

Wow Louise, that eye is so realistic! With a few strokes of the brush, AMAZBALLS! As always I can't get enough of your vid's! Thank you for all the effort and hard work. Love your out takes, Crochet.....hahaha and the idea with the speedball and watercolours, "goodies" um, elements, ;) sounds awesome. When you win do a video on that!

Wow Louise! The eye is amazing! Also got to get me an eradicator brush... it looks a lot softer than the scrubber brush I use! Have a good weekend 😊

@MoonlightStar55 4 года назад

I hope you will load this tutorial up on Skillshare or Patreon because I really like to practice the feathers on it. You are awesome!!!

@beedee4427 4 года назад

I've been to that bird sanctuary (many years ago tho) but didn't have a decent camera at the time. I bet some of your photos are as spectacular as your paintings x

@marylinsmith4290 4 года назад

....and JEAN MACKAY who does fabulous birds says that (assuming you are painting a bird where the feet are visible) GETTING THE ANGLE OF THEPLACEMENT OF THE FEET is the absolute key to getting a believeable bird. Marylin Smith

@fayehuelsmann2608 4 года назад

Impressive.

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thanks Faye.

@SuzanneLegault 4 года назад

I always wonder about the one thumbs down I see on your videos. Must be an oil painter who got lost in the web. Anyway this is definitely up one level for me. Looking forward to trying it... and failing and failing and failing before I see glimpse of what could be an eye. Just not sure if it's a bird's eye or a crochet loop???!

@joannad8630 4 года назад

बहुत सुंदर पक्षी। मुझे आपकी चित्रकला बेहद पसंद है।

@lada7539 4 года назад

@sujanithtottempudi2991 4 года назад

How about some salt for eyelid....creates more texture like reference....however your eye is more alive than reference definitely

@sandie157 3 года назад

What does neutral tint do?...will have to look into that.

@sheriemcmanaman2113 4 года назад

What brush did you use for the background splash? I like the short handle.

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

It's a 2 inch paddle brush. It stops me from fussing with it.

@erinhallmakes777 2 года назад

beautiful. was that a red tail black too? Just FYI the part at the top of the beak where the 'nostrils' (called nares in parrots) is referred to as the Cere and is not a part of the beak. its fleshy where as beak is hard. watching your beautiful bird paintings makes me miss have pet birds so bad.

@corriemcginnis4400 4 года назад

That was awesome how the eye went from paper to glass like and alive with just a couple of layers.

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

Thanks Corrie.

@petinstructor 4 года назад

What kinda of brush is that you use to paint background?

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

That was a 2 inch paddle brush I think.

@beachmama23 3 года назад

Help - What platform can I find the full tutorial for this Black Cockatoo? Is it on Patreon or Skillshare? 🙂

@SheXyShellyMarie 4 года назад

Will this entire bird be on Patreon?

@LouiseDeMasi 4 года назад

I didn't film all of this one Shelly. That was my intention at the start but it got away from at the end (a bit like the elephant) so I turned off the camera. I'd need to paint another one to make a full length tutorial.
