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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@neilexploreology]

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

[@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!

[@astridrichter2237]

Sehr schön gemalt❤Dankeschön für dieses schöne hilfreiche Video🎉👍🎀🌞

[@juliesflat]

Beautiful bird, beautiful work! 💕

[@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. 🎨✨

[@denesegrace9880]

Thankyou. Lovely clear instructions and easy to follow.

[@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 💜.

[@gmarkdonald3454]

Great to find you and see you paint. Thanks Mark

[@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!

[@janetprimo9514]

Thank you Louise. That is very helpful information. It put my mind at ease.

[@FrancesMacaulayForde]

Loved it! Fairy Wrens are my favourite too. Beautifully done. Thank you.

[@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 💜.

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!

[@sharonberry2453]

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

Thank you very much Sharon. Two lovely compliments. I appreciate you taking the time to write.

Stinning artistry and absolutely outstanding teaching. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you. 🥰😃🥰

[@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!

[@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]

@@LouiseDeMasi I thought it added to the subject. :-)

[@hassaineabdelhamidhassaine7794]

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

[@bonniesinclair-davidson6529]

Your style of painting, displays the true nature of the water colours so wonderfully! Your bird is beautiful!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks very much Bonnie. ❤️

[@jenniewebb7369]

What a beautiful little bird! I love the simple palette, especially the pops of Winsor Violet. Great video, a pleasure to watch.

[@Mashkoor110]

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

[@brendawillems4804]

[@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!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Grazia! ❤️

[@PinkLadyFanChannel]

Thank you for this video. Your details are amazing and your instruction is spot on Looking forward to your filling of this sketchbook diary.

[@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!

[@mimajovanov4153]

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?

[@nazanakbulut8369]

Amazing as always

[@vikkifossum4959]

I love what you paint!

[@dianec4356]

It’s such a great tutorial with such a thoughtful act by close up to detailed drawings! Thank you is never enough to show my appreciation.

[@revathychelvakumar9173]

Beautiful vdo. Your voice is soft and calming

[@Tana37t]

Thank you! I love your style.

[@rnee1000]

Fabulous tutorial!

[@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

[@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.

[@sinydedeugd6989]

I love, love, love your art and the way you present it! And you always leave me happy after the bloopers at the end! Thank you so much for both🙂

[@lauracarter3408]

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

[@yf4012]

Thank you so much Louise! Your clear, concise tutorial was a pleasure to behold as your creation came to life. Just beautiful and have just subscribed!

[@sylviachew2234]

Thank you for going through the whole process explaining the colours to use. I'm gonna try this!

[@thelmasimpson7352]

Beautiful watercolour. Thank you for the detailed description.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

My pleasure Thelma. Thank you very much.

[@gizellepinto9387]

This was a beautiful tutorial (and a gorgeous bird ) thank you.

[@MrsMandM27]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@kathleenfarrell7051]

You are brilliant, absolutely brilliant! I could watch and listen to your tutorials all day... . . Which is probably why I still can't paint. Thanks for sharing 😃

[@LouiseDeMasi]

😝 Thank you very much Kathleen. That's a lovely compliment. 😘

[@willeminabyl552]

Love it! Your style is amazingly beautiful! Thanks Louise! You are an inspiration!

Love it !! You make it look so easy ! :)

[@jeaninehinckel77]

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 !!

[@marjoriescott3157]

Wonderful tutorial and wonderful painter. I can’t wait to try more of your offerings.

[@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. : )

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to watch you paint effortlessly. Would it be possible to show your pallet too so that we can see how you mix colours. You are very talented and thank you for sharing.

[@Roslyngal]

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. 🤞🏻

[@carlapasciuti8167]

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. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to follow you in this priceless experience. Have a wonderful Christmas.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

You too Carla. Thank you very 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:)

Ah.... I’m so close, yet so far! You always help me to be a better painter, thank you. My little Fairy Wren is pretty darn acceptable so long as he’s not directly compared to the model or your painting.

[@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!)

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Chrissy. I've had a few people ask me about this. It's on my list of topics.
