Creating a Vibrant Painting

[@The.lazy.eyed.artist]

Oh my mercy I love those colors. I have heard nothing but good about the Roman Szmal paints.

[@ericakauffman5786]

This is exactly the type of review I benefit from. Most reviewers just swatch. I want to see how the paint works and what the artist thinks as s/he is going along. Bravo, again, Louise. The painting is beautiful.

[@brushedfantasies386]

The bloopers really ground me. 😅 while watching the video I'm in awe and think how could I ever do this gorgeous work? Then the bloopers appear and I'm like oh maybe I have a shot. My cat likes to walk across my desk, step in the paint and my daughter sings pjmasks. Thank you for bringing a smile and sharing your skills with us. ❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks so much. 🥰

[@lindamarsh6711]

Absolutely gorgeous! The cat is persistent! Lol

[@AynurBobaroglu]

The cat is so cute 😍 He/she is your big fan 🥰

[@hiddenshadow2105]

What I really like about this video, is that when you were introducing the paints, you said only technical aspects of the paint (transparency, in this case). So many, many times I saw youtubers starting to sound like overly excited advertisers as soon as they touch a gifted paint, even if they didn't really worked with it. I appreciate the restrain.

[@eilidghmacdowell3204]

Gorgeous & so vibrant. Cats have no respect. Mine often runs through my paints. Gotta love them.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Lol- they don't that's fpr sure. Thank you Eildgh.

[@Linda-pg3so]

Go the cat😊🐾. Stunning painting, Louise👏🏻.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Lol.....Thank you Linda! 😊

[@Bindismom]

Every painting has my full and delighted attention as you work your magic. Those colors are magnificent! It’s so exciting to me to see them mix and blend together. I find the Danial Smith to have that rich, creamy texture and must always be careful not to pick up too much pigment. I’m now seeing the convenience of the tubes over the pans. I’m watching everything I can find of yours….🤗💖👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you so much! 💕

[@tanyas.3812]

Gee that’s beautiful color……I’m so in love with that.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Tanya.

[@danitagoins4574]

Absolutely STUNNING!!

[@lisaharner3720]

This work is stunning and vibrant! Love it!

[@MaureenWest]

The bloopers are super good too!!!

[@SuzanneLegault]

Gorgeous vibrant colors with lots of volume on the flower just with pigment intensity... no grey ! Wonderful ❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Suzanne. They are lovely to work with.

[@alisonhendry2928]

Wonderful information about a paint I know nothing about. You have inspired me to take out my Sennelier tubes and paint an entire work with them as they too are heavily pigmented and made with some honey. ( I am usually a Winsor Newton gal)I love vibrant deep colour and layers and lots of petals so this was wonderful to watch. The cat made me howl! Thanks for still keeping your bloopers in at the end. I think many of us can hardly wait for the laugh after the ahhh of watching you paint.

[@SarahAndBoston]

Loved seeing your layering process! Thanks Louise

[@mridulascreatives]

Beautiful painting✨

[@renee1292]

Gorgeous painting! The paints look so juicy and vibrant.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

They are! Thanks Renee.

[@likearainbow7501]

Louise you are so inspiring🎨💕

[@Nancy-ii5yo]

Yes, a beautiful and vibrant painting! Love it.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Nancy.

[@Babyjohn8170]

Absolutely stunning! Excited to try this one today.😊👍

[@jtpaar1732]

Kitty-approved paintings are the best! And what a lucky-duck you are getting a Jackson's in your part of the world! They are the BEST artist supply people in my book. Beautiful painting, as always. Happy Easter to you n yours.

[@tamasurusrex]

Breathtaking colors 🥰❗️

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Tammy.

[@oljastevanovic]

Great review and painting, as always :) I am using disposable baby crib pads as a table protection and for drying brushes . They became colorful :) so I am giving them to my friend to reuse for her puppies :)

[@blackbearybears]

Good cat. Love the bloopers at the end. The painting is so bright! Lovely!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Johanna.

[@deborahcorreale352]

Love your paintings and your bloopers always make me smile 😊

[@vickiestewart7394]

So glad you tried these paints; I've asked for them for my birthday in June (translation: I'm ordering them in a few days and will let Hubs know he's getting them for my birthday in 2 months) because I first heard about their vibrant colors, single-pigment quality and light-fastness from Cindy Crick and decided I just had to have a couple - okay, a set. I suppose it would be impractical to have tutorials using these, as not too many students would rush out and buy them, but I might just be using them instead of some of the standard colors, just for the fun of it, because that's just me. And meow, the cat apparently DID mind, but like the dogs in my house, we wait till they're done, then it's our turn, as it should be.... :) LOVE the Szmal Flower 😁😁😁😁😁

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Vickie. I hope you love them. I'll be getting some tubes when they come out.

[@angiewright-artist8246]

I'm in Canada, I have the a little 5 pan set and love them so much!! Beautiful 🤩 you're so lucky ❤

[@dianakoeppel3492]

Beautiful 😍

[@elviamunguia8397]

Wow! The colors are so vibrant! You did a marvelous job! Beautiful!!!❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Elvia.

[@leannnewton1]

I absolutely love your outtakes. That cat is hilarious! I can't allow my Zoe in my painting area because she loves to drink my brush water. Dirty...clean...she doesn't care. What a wonderful video and perfect explanation of the process. Beautiful work!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks LeAnn. Leo too- he made a guest visit because people were asking about him. I don't have him in the studio usually because I don't get any work done when he's down here - he gets into everything. 🥰

[@virginianapier3955]

Honey enhances everything. Loved the technique and fantastic results!

[@yumirager4357]

Vibrant colors are a change from your usual, and I loved it!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Yumi.

[@amandastratton8242]

beautiful painting Louise and those colours are so vibrant. Liking your cat wandering ! my cat likes to catch the paintbrush 🙄 maybe one day I will let her loose with some colour scheme and see what she comes up with, it might be a masterpiece 😺😄 Thank you for sharing your lovely talent with us xx

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Lol- 😅. Thank you Amanda. My Leo doesn't get down into the studio much. He's too mischievous. When he was younger he ate some yellow paint and I had to hold him under the tap while I washed his mouth out. That was fun 🥴.

[@DottieStanley]

Gorgeous work! Those colors are spectacular!

[@lilyo1788]

Louise I love your glorious oversized florals! Would you consider making this a Patreon tutorial? Please? 😊

[@maryannprzybycien2013]

Such a beautiful painting. I love Roman Szmal paints and can't wait for them to be available in tubes. Also love the kitty bloopers. ❤

[@RinN3-.]

Love your work 🎨❤ and I love your bloopers 😅👏👏💖

[@melissaoleary8196]

Absolutely gorgeous!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Melissa! 😊

[@robinsouthrivernj916]

Absolutely stunningly!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Robin.

[@pattiartiste]

Gorgeous @!

[@MsMoniqueWilson]

Gosh that turned out sooo beautiful and vibrant. I have really loved using my Roman Szmal paints. I think their Potters Pink is the nicest of all :). I am excited about the tubes. Thanks for another great video.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Oh thank you Monique. I look forward to buying some more colours when the tubes come out.

[@redbird8257]

Absolutely stunning! Love the beautiful, bright colors! Thank you for sharing! ❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

My pleasure. Thank you!

[@solarpanelcleaning-t9d]

Really love the colours of this water colour paint! Your painting did it justice!!

[@doraevatt8320]

Gorgeous colors

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Dora.

[@mayuvalladolid5429]

Louise, this was beautiful to watch as usual. Your technique is one of my favourites❤❤❤😊

[@dq3974]

Stunning! In the States, we have M. Graham watercolors that are also honey based. I love them for the same reason you like the R.S.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks very much!

[@trishippolito4881]

Roman Szmal is one of my favorite brands❤. Ask the Jackson’s reps for Aquarius Green ❤️‍🔥💚💓. One of the many spectacular colors they have. Then ask if they can send you some A Gallo paints, my other favorite brand. From Assisi, Italy, handmade, honey-based single pigment paints. Gorgeous!❤. Pricey, much more expensive than Szmal, but beautiful to work with. Only come in half pans though. Well worth trying. 😊 Thank you for always sharing.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Good to know! Thank you Trish.

[@marieluiselarsen3827]

Hello Louise, how do point an eye in watercolour. 6:21 Really nice pictures.❤😂😅

[@jacquelinehewelt7143]

Beautiful color!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Jacqueline.

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Lovely colors, Louise! When I transitioned from beginner paints, I started with Mission Gold. They are very vibrant and honey based. I’ve used honey based watercolor ever since. I’m amazed at how you can get away with brown on your flowers without making them look wilted. Lovely painting! The kitty is just adorable!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you ZeeCee.

[@loredeva501]

I've had this set in my shopping cart for a few days now, will definitely purchase now, thanks for the video Louise

[@LouiseDeMasi]

You’re welcome 😊. Thank you Lore. I hope you like them.

[@judymills873]

The colours are gorgeous!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Judy. They really are very vibrant.

[@inalf8493]

Beautiful! Hoping it will be a future tutorial. 😊❤😊

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you!

[@Calme1918]

Fabulous

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Carol.

[@melodycrites3145]

Gorgeous, as always!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Melody.

[@artistronit]

Nice

[@tinazhou8600]

Beautiful painting! I was wondering how do you make the paper so flat without wave when painting? What kind of board do you use for stretch the paper and pin on it? Do you wet the back of the paper first when you stretch it?

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Tina. I have a video here where I demonstrate what I do: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3jManuhes6dqrc

[@traciesawrey9084]

Hi Louise Great video as always 😊 You mentioned a Jacksons store opening up in Australia any idea when we will be able to order from them rather than the UK? Thanks Tracie

[@mariannedanhofbekkers2671]

These colours reminded me immediately of Blockx water colour paints. Is it possible they are presented under another name in Australia?

[@kityac9810]

Those colors are beautiful and I would love to try them. Can I put that type of watercolor in front of a fan to dry or would that be detrimental? For a bit of context, we're heading into summer in the Midwest (US) and the humidity here is breathtaking at times. So, I wondered about the dry time for a medium designed to remain wet longer. Also, I literally laughed out loud when your cat began meowing. Your bloopers are hysterical.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Kitya. Yes.....I used a hair dryer to dry between layers.

[@TORTmentor]

WOW!...the colours are beautiful! (🤪cats ).

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Micah.

[@janewineinger1569]

The Ukrainian colors are also that lovely creamy honey-based ones. The colors just soar and make you almost heady with delight.!

[@gaylenanut7035]

Their amazing colors! Your WC painting is fabulous! Are they transparent or staining paints? I bought starter brand of good paints that were vibrant colors but stained my palette and could not be corrected on my WC paper without damaging it.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks very much Gayle. I mention at the start of the video when I'm swatching all the colours about their transparency and staining properties.

[@petragunther4439]

I've used some Roman Szmal colors before and just spoiled me with a set last week😊 Yes they are so creamy and pigmented. And considering these a full pan s the price is very reasonable (Germany here) Your painting turned out so vivid, so vibrant. Thank you for sharing this video. Me, I've got 3 weeks in hospital now to try them out 🙏

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Petra. I hope you are home and well again soon!

[@exmoorbeastie]

I've tried Roman Szmal watercolour paints and binned them. Too soft. Plus I don't think honey should be used.
