[@alysha261]

How on earth could someone find this so unappealing they did a thumbs down...it's beyond me. I loved it!

[@leau7549]

Love her voice , the way she teaches, the patient and the love she puts in her tutorial. Thank you and it’s much appreciated ❤️❤️❤️

[@kileensmith5134]

Amazing, amazing, amazing! Thank you so much for your generous spirit and lovely sense of humor.

Louise your painting skills are making cymbidium orchids a long lasting recreational beauty ! Your painting made an exotic dream come true ! You create a wondrous world of watercolor ! I am so grateful!

[@rebeccamaxwell5636]

You inspire me! When the world gets crazy I can watch your videos and forget about everything except what is beautiful...your art.

[@deloreslopez9977]

Such an amazing orchid! Funny blooper at the end.Thanks Louise.

[@judywells4470]

Watching you paint is so helpful. But it’s also very relaxing. I have to be careful not to go to sleep. If I do, I just replay it. Because I don’t want to miss anything. Thank you!

[@melware4166]

Love your style. You are truly a brilliant teacher, thank you sooo much x

[@schaney7891]

You are sooo good. I wish I found you earlier! So relaxing. No stress. Thank you

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you so much!

[@lydiabosley9152]

Lovely, delightful, really a joy to watch this orchid come to life in your capable hands - thanks, Louise!

[@marieluiselarsen3827]

Hey Louise de Masi, you are a great artist and I love to see you mix colours and paint flowers and animals. I hope you are safe at home. Luise from Denmark 🇩🇰😎.

[@saltywomen7988]

Hi Loise, I'm late to the orchid party but I love them and want to learn how to paint them, so thank you! This one is pretty fun and can't wait to finish it and start my own! :)

[@oozy.]

Your outtakes are so funny🤣

[@stephaniepaul271]

Your tutorials are so informative it makes one the think this possible for beginners artists. I hope all is going well in Australia after the fires.

[@junemcdonald4195]

A beautiful video with plenty of terrific hints. Thank you ❤️

[@mysilentpoetry]

Beautiful mam❤️

[@guyhiebert]

I really do enjoy your technique and the way you control the paint and the brush. I know that you use the graded wash with splashes of colour with blooms in your background. I will try it on a a project I am trying to figure out how to do it.

[@Bonnie10au]

I only discovered your channel a week ago. I love your style of painting. Letting the watercolour flow but end up with a detailed painting. I am very new to watercolour and find it pretty intimidating. I am used to work in pastels and coloured pencils but I really want to learn how to do this and will sign up at skillshare to see more of your tutorials. I would like to see a dog or cat tutorial in the future if possible. Thanks so much for this informative tutorial, Louise.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much Silke. Learning to use coloured pencils is something I'd like to do. You'd probably enjoy using coloured pencil over your watercolours or even try watercolour pencil. I used to paint in acrylic but grew tired of it. I tried painting in watercolour at first but I gave up because I thought it was too difficult. I tried a second time and persisted with it. I'm so glad I did because it brings me so much joy. It's such a beautiful medium to use. I don't think I'll ever truly master it but it's so enjoyable to use it. I sometimes break out my acrylics and do a painting but half way through I wonder why I did. For me, it doesn't compare to painting in watercolour. I cover a lot more in my classes. This is a very basic overview of what I do. I've painted lots of dogs but I haven't painted a cat I'm happy with yet so I'll keep practicing! Thanks again!

[@juliet6750]

Your voice is sooo relaxing, in addition to the painting tutorial it makes the perfect video. I love your channel!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Oh Juliet, you are so sweet. Thank you very much for your beautiful message. xx

[@kerryvess7028]

I love watching your painting, I learn so much! I would love see zinnia flowers painted by you as they have big flowers and large leaves. Sure you would do awesome job if you have time. ❤️ thanks for sharing! You are so talented ..

[@jessicasobel4287]

Your videos are so informative!! I love all of the angles and close ups, I can really see what you are doing!

[@shan681]

hi, i love your videos. i used to be pretty good in art during school. now i am picking it up again to teach my daughter. i live in South East Asia, so most of the time, the questions that come out in the local exams are local fruit and flowers. i was wondering if you would want to try a local fruit called the RAMBUTAN? it gets pretty complicated as its quite a "hairy" fruit and the interior is smooth glossy.

[@SuperExadidas]

Really good and inspiring.

[@jiggyo5417]

Great video! Its really helpful to see the reference and the close ups. Thank you very much!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

My pleasure. Thank you and thank you again for the suggestion.

[@cynthiarichter792]

So love these videos. They are so interesting and you give some great tips.

This was so enjoyable to watch. You did a wonderful job. Thank you for using Rose of Ultramarine. I need to use it more and it was the perfect color for the shadow. I'm looking forward to another entry in your journal.

[@gillianbc]

Another wonderful tutorial - I've nearly watched them all now and my painting has improved already. Also compliments to whoever did the filming, lighting and video editing. Very good to have such clear close-ups and the source photo visible.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks again Gillian! That's really good to know. I do all of it. I'm a one woman show. 💕

[@kajunmomaguillard1844]

I love your videos...I’ve just discovered you!!!! Please keep them coming...if you would, please show us how to texture a stone wall...

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks again! Textured stone wall noted! 💕

[@monsoongirlnyc]

Lovely demo, thank you! For journal paintings, do you stretch the paper at all, beforehand?

[@moonspiritartbycindyhill1084]

Love

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you!

[@maryalgar8779]

Just beautiful! What kind of camera do you use for your reference photos - - hopefully a point and shoot simple one?

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Mary. I have a Canon camera and I also take some with my IPhone.

[@sandragriffiths8642]

Love your chanel. Unfortunately your paint list listed on materials doesn't match what you are using

[@juliedavies3481]

Loving these art journal tutorials ❤️ your attention to detail is amazing, I really appreciate the tuition although I haven’t yet attempted wet in wet I do intend to try it. Can I ask what art journal you are using, I have one which is woodpulp and I’m not keen on the paper, can you recommend a brand please Louise. Thank you for sharing your talent.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Julie! This book is a Winsor & Newton watercolour journal. It's a hard back book. I think you can buy soft cover ones as well. It has 300gsm cotton paper in it.

[@juliedavies3481]

Thank you so much Louise I am onto Amazon next 😂

[@rhondawillington9214]

Wonderful tutorial Louise! Oh....and I love how you added your boo-boos lol! 😁❤️👍🏻

[@leanncunningham2083]

Louise I finished the yellow rose !! Ian gonna do the orchid. Maybe by then I will hear back from skill share. What size was your yellow rose. Mine is 8x10.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

My yellow rose was a bit bigger than A3 size about 17" by 12" give or take - (from memory.) If you need me to email you any files let me know.

[@leanncunningham2083]

Louise De Masi I will for sure if I need correct drawing ! If you could include the size when you are doing classes I can get drawing inlarged to size I need ! Thanx for all your help!!

[@fionagardner4150]

please could you paint a highland cow hello from scotland.

[@laolaya7338]

Hello Louise, I was wondering what makes you decide to use Winsor violet or the ¨grey mix¨ for the shadows. I watched a lot of your videos and I still haven't figured out the difference. Thank you so much for what you do and I am seriously considering becoming a member of your patreon.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Hi Lynne. I use cool colours in the shadows. Cool colours recede and warm colours advance. You want to push shadows and things that are in shadows back- you don't want them jumping forward. My grey that I mix is usually cool because I put more blue in it than anything else and I like to drop violet into it just to add interest. Sometimes I'll just use the violet. I don't necessarily see those colours on my reference photo but I know they work on the paper so that's why I use them.

[@bronwynbossley4458]

Louise can we buy the pencil drawings please?

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Hi Bronwyn. I plan to start a Patreon site this year. I'll be putting everything on there for patrons. I need to get my latest Skillshare class published first. As soon as I've done that I'll start working on Patreon.

[@leanncunningham2083]

I can’t get my computer to let me sign in to skill share. Do u have any suggestions

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I'm not sure. Has your subscription ran out? I could send them a message for you.

[@leanncunningham2083]

No I just paid again and I’ve contacted them 3 times. I just can’t print out subjects. I have to take pictures and then print them. But Iam not sure if it’s the correct size. Can u add the size you are painting.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

That sounds like a real pain! Maybe I can email you what you need. Can you email me and tell me what class you are doing?

[@leanncunningham2083]

Louise where can I show u my paintings

[@LouiseDeMasi]

If you are on Instagram you could show me there or you could email me them.

[@leanncunningham2083]

Oh I can’t talk to you on skill share either. Don’t know why

[@leanncunningham2083]

Louise I signed up for Instagram. But don’t really know what Iam doing. Lol put 5 photos of your classes. Tell me what u think. What’s your email address??

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Leann they are lovely! I found you on Instagram and followed you. You are very talented! If you click on my 'About' section here - I think my email is there.

[@roohaniatkasafar618]
