Can I just say that one of the reasons I absolutely ADORE you and your videos is that you always say WHEN you're applying another layer i.e. wet on wet, wet on damp. Thank you so much for helping me understand watercolors more.

@LouiseDeMasi 3 года назад

I'm so glad! Thank you. 💕

@judymills873 8 дней назад

Me too! She’s the only one I’ve found who does that and I’m always confused when to paint wet on wet etc.

@notme3252 2 года назад

This is why it’s so important to finish a painting even when it looks weird. There was a stage in there where I probably would have thought it would turn out horribly, but then, like magic, it turned out beautiful!

@deekohler9404 10 месяцев назад

I had the same thought!!! :)

@WrinkleRelease 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for showing your journey here. I'm prone to perfectionistic thinking: if it's not perfect, I've failed. This is never a helpful way to learn a skill, so it's really wonderful to see how you've been challenging yourself and the ways you have improved.

@jo-annejacques5400 2 года назад

I am working on drawing eyes in graphite. It's not as easy as it looks, especially drawing the left and right eyes. Your video is inspiring. Thank you!

@SarahNewburyArt 3 года назад

I love how your paintings always look so clean and crisp and I always love the outtakes! Have a great weekend 😊💜

@izzitme2707 3 года назад

Such a beautiful eye! Thank you so much for this one. I struggle with eyes and this has helped a lot. I love your detailed explanations and can't wait to see this on Patreon. Your "bloopers" at the end are just icing on top of your marvelous work!

Truly enjoy your videos! Easy to follow and understand, I learn so much from your demos. And I laugh at your outtakes. You're probably the best teacher I've ever had, and that's over a long period of time. (I received my BFA in graphic design in 1969.)

Louise, I love your style, both your painting style, and your teaching style. You simplify your steps without too many words, and really let your hands and paintbrushes do the talking.

@lydiabosley9152 3 года назад

Beautiful eye, and fun bloopers. Your toddler on the beach is precious and perfect, too. Thanks, Louise - looking forward to seeing these on Patreon. btw, it just occurred to me, you haven't said anything more about the lightning-flash effect in your own eyes, I hope that's all over with. You are so acute in your observations of light and colors, it's essential that your own eyes function as perfectly as ever.

@LouiseDeMasi 3 года назад

Thanks so much Lydia. I'm not getting so many lightning flashes now but I've got a large floater that runs down the side of my eye. The optometrist said she could see it too when she looked inside. It doesn't bother me when I'm working inside. I notice it when I go outside in the bright light. It will pass eventually. It make take a while though. Thank you for checking on me. 💕😊

@don9133 3 года назад

Well, I for one will be "keeping an eye out" for future postings. It''s a testament to your talent that You are finding a comfort level in the figurative paintings that you have in your wildlife and botanical painting.

@LouiseDeMasi 3 года назад

Thank you Don. Eye will keep practicing. 👀 😀

@don9133 3 года назад

"Eye" hope you do! :)

@ritumk 3 года назад

Another wonderful tutorial! Can I request you to put up more tutorials on Skillshare as well?

@jtpaar1732 3 года назад

Louise, you make me laugh with the faces you make in your bloopers! I know how difficult it is to transition from painting animals/botanicals to painting humans, where precision is far more important, but WOW, I think you did a fantastic job with 'the toddler'! I look forward to seeing these lessons on your very much enjoyed Patreon channel!

@Dutcher622 3 года назад

One little thing I learned about painting eyes. Under the top lashes the eye has a shadow. It gives it more depth. I am passing this on to you.

@MS-bw1fj 8 месяцев назад

What brush and size did you use for lashes? Excellent video 😀

@leuvaart4982 2 года назад

good

@nettiemoss324 3 года назад

Your painting technique and artistry are exquisite Louise, do you always use the same brand watercolours - and brushes? You have the colour mixing down to a fine art in itself: I don't see how you could improve on what you do . . . it is as near to perfection as is possible!

@LouiseDeMasi 3 года назад

Hi Nettie. Thank you very much. I try to use Winsor and Newton paints and Da Vinci Maestro brushes as much as possible so that my patrons have some consistency.
