How to Paint a Wren in Watercolor // Watercolour Bird Demonstration

[@joycohen938]

I loved every moment of this painting. Hearing birds in the background added to the experience! It was so beautiful. Fairy wrens are my all time favourite bird - just so adorable! You have done this little guy justice. He looks stunning!

[@nans1600]

I am beginniner in water colours n your adorable way of teaching inspired me a lot.Thanks a lot.

[@marionbik2022]

I adore fairy wrens too. I was born in Canada and they have some beautiful birds too. They are so different to the birds in Australia. Thank you for showing me how to approach the painting of this beautiful little bird. 🎨✨

[@kumudinitomar3277]

As an artist you are gifted. As teacher you are compassionate because you are clearing all the doubts in my mind while explaining your paintings and redoing the same. Thanks.

[@lauracarter3408]

Such a great job at creating a beautiful fairy wren. Thank you!

[@neilexploreology]

So beautiful! I truly appreciate you sharing your amazing tutorial here on youtube. Thank you!

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

Lovely painting Louise. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom of watercolor with us. Do you have cockatiels or little pet birds? I have often heard birds in your videos and I also heard you mention the "Black Cockatoos" at the end. I have had pet birds for 35+ years. Moluccans, cockatiels, budgies, love birds and an Amazon. I only have one remaining cockatiel and the spectacled Amazon. I put my last Moluccan down in September. I had her for 32 years. All of my birds have lived long lives. Even my cockatiel lived for 30 yrs. I'm getting old now and I won't be taking any more birds in. Been an artist all of my life but had an injury to my ulnar nerve and artery in my dominant hand so I haven't been doing any art for over 20 years. I have been inspired by your lovely work on birds and your fantastic teaching. Thank you, sincerely.

Excellent instructional video and what a beautiful painting of this magnificent wren!! Just Brilliant! I subscribed and am going to watch how you painted a fox! So excited to learn from you! Thank you very.much!

[@happyprat2624]

Great tutorial! Thank you! I love that you explain what you're doing and WHY! And those close up shots from a different angle are super helpful!

[@KITools1]

Your tutorials are wonderful! I am a newbie and was taking one on one classes with a wonderful local artist when the world was suddenly turned upside down by the virus and we could no longer meet. She recommended several online teachers and you were one of them and, as it turned out, the best in my opinion. Thank you! Your tutorials have kept me sane during this long quarantine!

[@allthumbs3792]

Your video was the most peaceful and beautiful 15 minutes of my week! The fairy wren could have hopped off that branch he looked so real.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

This is such a lovely message. Thank you very much 💜.

[@sharonberry2453]

Very clear video and instructions. I like the way you narrate with no extraneous chatter. Your work is beautiful.

Thank you. This is an excellent tutorial. I can't wait to try this one

[@debijacksonguida2734]

I have been painting in acrylics for many years and recently purchased a watercolor set and other supplies. Thank you for your tutorial it truly inspired me. My favorite backyard bird is the chickadee! I love nature and especially birds and this is the very first time I've ever seen that species! So pretty!

[@gmarkdonald3454]

Great to find you and see you paint. Thanks Mark

Hi Louise - Great video, painting and instruction. Now that we're still in Covid Lockdown I need to keep busy. I plan to start painting and your video was great inspiration. Thanks for sharing and continued success. Love PegEgg

[@Mashkoor110]

wonderful tutorial. you paint so effortlessly. it's a joy to watch.

[@janestorer6610]

Some people just know how to describe instructions so well that even the most complex concepts are easy to understand and to practice. Thanks.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

That's a lovely compliment. Thank you Jane 💜.

[@bonniesinclair-davidson6529]

Thanks Louise I’m enjoying your tutorials very much. You make it look so easy and its very relaxing to watch.

[@j9hnck]

Wow. I thought I could do this until I watched you paint his eyeball. You are so precise. I think my hands are probably too shaky. LOL. You created a beautiful creature. Great job....well done !!

[@graziacavasino8884]

Oh, what a nice little fellow you painted! No wonder, of course, you as good as gold but every time it's a surprise, a gift you make to all of us. Thank you!

[@don9133]

Great post, and smiled at the "opinions" offered in the background.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Don. Our birds are so noisy. It's almost impossible to find a quite time through the day to voice-over. We've got a flock of White Cockatoos at the moment wreaking havoc. They cruise on in every morning and afternoon. We have some new plants that we've put UV plastic bags around to protect them from the frost and they pull them off and toss them everywhere. I have to clean up after them every morning. The joys of living in the country....lol.

[@don9133]

[@nadeacheung1715]

I'm in love with fairy wrens, especially yours. I am definitely going to check out your classes. when I have more time to settle down and paint. Thanks for all the wonderful things you share!

[@TheLisatee]

I've only just found you. Loving your style! Im currently living in a foreign country. We often had black cockatoos at our place when we lived in Australia (only 6 months, feels like a lifetime). When I heard them I would drop everything and run outside just to see them. I have to say I shed a tear hearing them on this video. Thanks, Lisa

[@lorihanby6733]

Such a cute little bird and what a wonderful tutorial! I love how you narrate what you are doing explaining your process. Such a big help that many others don't do. I love how you used the colors of the bird on the branch. Something I don't think I would have thought of doing.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks very much Lori. I appreciate you taking the time to write a message. 🧡

[@lorihanby6733]

P.S. I love listening to your accent. Makes the videos doubly wonderful. : )

Oh! What a lovely bird! And you have made it so gorgeous! I really enjoy your videos! It is overcast and windy in NW Arkansas in the US today. I am feeling a bit under the weather and it is such a pleasure to sit here and watch you make magic with your paints and talent! Thank so much!

[@lrb1651]

My first challenge would just be DRAWING the wren! You make it all look effortless! I love birds and enjoyed watching your artistic techniques! I chuckled at your "what was I talking about?" at the end. I have those moments, too! - actually, too many of them! Thanks for sharing this tutorial! Lesa in Indiana:)

[@gizellepinto9387]

Amazing control of that liner brush, using it for teeny tiny details! Great subject, we have wrens in our garden too. Everyone competes to find the bright blue husband among his many little brown wives!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Roslyn. Lucky you. I love them. We live on 25 acres and we are surrounded by state forest. They live right down the back of our property near the edge of the forest. I've been planting native plants that they like to try and get them closer to the house. 🤞🏻

Hello Louise. I write from Rome and I have been whatching your tutorial in quite a mesmerized state. I love your work and I am going to follow all your lessons during these seasons festivities.

I've just noticed your youtube channel and it is sooo amazing! Watercolours, brush strokes and your voice are combined in such soothing and hipnotizing way, I am looking at your videos and suddenly I am so calm and sleepy. 😁 you should do ASMR videos as well, truly believe people would love your voice 😊 best wishes to you! Love, Mima

[@joycohen938]

Just saw this in 2022 & totally agree! Did you hear the birds in the background?

[@o.aldenproductions.9858]

I might be able to manipulate the paint but to draw like this!! Never ! So beautiful 😍 thanks for sharing

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much!

[@Mebeece]

Thank you. Your style of teaching fits me well. I love that most of it is in real time and not sped up and the instructions are concise and match which point of process. Love seeing rubbing out the lines, I am so scared of that.

[@rnee1000]

Great video. I'm watching these time lapsed videos first and then going to patreon or skillshare for the real time lessons when I begin to paint. I've already done the female wren and will do this one next. Then I plan to combine them in one painting composition. How do you like the Winsor and Newton watercolor journal? It's hard to find good ones and I tend to do practice pieces on 5x7 Arches paper which is costly. When you fill this journal can we have a flip through? :) Thank you so much for all your wonderful instruction and support.

[@chrissychang9524]

Thanks for this tutorial, Louise! I love your beautiful style and your instruction is easy to follow!! I would love a video on how you pick your colors (i.e. I notice a lot of violet hues in your work where I don't necessarily see violet in source photos, but love the effect and am curious why and how you select the colors you do!)
