I was so thrilled to see you as one of the many artists who are ambassadors for this year’s World Watercolor Month! Thank so much for being such a great influence & inspiring artist/teacher for me & many others. I am so grateful for your supportive teaching of watercolor painting to help me improve daily. 😘💕

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much for your kind words Colleen. 🥰

Each bird is so unique and masterfully painted! I am in a bad painting slump right now, and haven't painted in months. I feel energized by your video and hope to paint soon again! Thank you❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I hope you do! Thanks so much. ❤️

[@juliehopkins5784]

This is such a well timed video for me to watch. I have been unwell and my painting is the the back burner and I have lacked the motivation and not knowing how to start again. Time to get back on the horse. Thank you Louise for all the welcome tips. ❤

Just had to comment on the spectacular birds, exquisitely rendered! It is simple to say, "prioritize art", but not as easy as it sounds. One must prioritize many things in life - health, family (if one has family), friends (if one has close relationships), healthy meals, exercise, finances, etc. Well, you get the picture. These are all important parts to our day, and anyone speaking on the subjects of health, relationships, etc. would say to "prioritize that". We (collectively) are left with a long list of priorities. How you manage to create the award winning art on your busy schedule is a marvel. Thank you for sharing your talents.

Gorgeous birds! They are also my favorite. And believe me, I understand how much goes into a business to keep it going, so I'm glad you are making the time for yourself to paint. Thank you so much for your clarity.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank so much. 🥰

[@notclagnew]

Excellent tips on the reason for starting a regular practice - very motivating, thank you

[@rnee1000]

Thank you Louise! This was a great motivational video and came just when I needed it. I haven't painted much in the past two months and I need to get back to it. The bird paintings are beautiful.

[@barryedgington6812]

Hi Louise, what a wonderful and interesting tutorial! I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful journal that someone did for you and what amazing birds you painted so perfectly in it! ❤The information you shared is so motivating and uplifting! As always, thank you Louise. Helene

[@tomtiddler1]

Great idea to paint daily, sometimes I leave it for days just building the courage to paint something new, I will try this, thanks, great work!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Get a journal and try to make it a regular part of your day. Thanks Tom.

12:57 Hello. I'm from Mexico. I've been painting with a friend guide by your you tube tutorials because we like watercolor and the way you teach. We thank you because we spend wonderful time learning. Soon we will try patreon.

[@cafemir]

Thank you Louise. KZbin unsubscribed me and is not sending me notifications. Nice to meet you again!

[@maureencepiel959]

Louise, July is a very busy month for me (I'm a cat sitter). But I bring my paints with me. And when the cat(s) have had enough play time, I get to paint in a new environment. It's like being on vacation! I love your homemade journal gift.

[@amandastratton8242]

Thank you Louise for a great idea of daily journal painting, it is definitely something I shall start doing. I love our birds in the pretty journal xx

[@user-tg8wh7uz3j]

Great encouragement, and great to watch superb painting in action. Thank you.

[@lisaharner3720]

I love your bird paintings. They are exceptional creatures and you capture them so well! I’m retired so one would think I would have more time to paint. I’ve spread myself thin with all the activities on my ‘when I retire’ list. 😢❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I hear you Lisa! Daily life can be so frantic - I hope you can make some time to paint. Thank you! ❤️

[@dianehill4019]

Your birds are so beautiful and so is the homemade book!! A wonderful gift!! ❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you - it sure is. It was handmade by a patron of mine. I love it and I'll treasure it.❤️

[@pamelarivers3924]

Very inspirational!!

[@floweryhour]

yes. I totally agree with you about finding time for practicing watercolor is not easy.But if we can do watercolor daily definately we can improve our skills! practice makes progress!!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you! It sure does- lots of practice. ❤️

[@maryannegunter115]

Glad to get this video, you're one of my favorite artists. For several weeks, I didn't paint, due to lack of motivation and not feeling well. But I picked up my brushes and woke up my paint last week, and I'm painting several times/day. Some are acceptable, some are not; but I'm really trying to keep going. I do enjoy it and its very relaxing for me. Thank you for your encouragement. I really like your haircut, too.❤😊

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Maryann! I hope you are feeling better now. 💕

[@louisea966]

beautiful birds, great video, thanks Louise

[@monknneusci]

You have been a great inspiration Louise. Learning a lot from you as my subjects include primarily birds.

[@green-eyed_girl88]

You make me smile and it feels wonderful! ❤😁

[@rayvirgoe7231]

Thank you, Louise. Beautiful art.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Many thanks Ray.

[@oceanreefer2626]

Hi Louise, I absolutely love your videos, they are inspiring me to take up water colour painting. I'm setting up my area where I will paint. I was wondering if you have suggestions for what chair to use while painting. I know it is something subjective, but do you use a chair with wheels or arms? I would really appreciate your feedback. Thank you. Anne

[@andreatorraca8755]

Awwwww love the birds,lovely

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Andrea. 💕

[@sharonmorelli6056]

Such a great video….simplicity and practice, definitely what i need….your new hairdo looks so pretty 🥰

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Sharon. 🥰

[@smayfield2280]

Louise, Do you know what paper is used in your journal? I often get frustrated when trying to practice in journals because the paints react so differently depending on the paper you use. Thank you for your videos. I always learn from them.

[@kimberlyrombaut]

The journal is made from sheets of Arches cold press 300 gsm paper 😊

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you again Kim for the beautiful journal. 💕

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I'm glad the tutorials are useful to you - thank you. Yes, as Kimberly mentioned - it has Arches paper which makes it extra special. Kimberly made the journal 🥰. The only manufactured journal I like to use is the Winsor and Newton watercolour journal.

[@genevievegraff2024]

Oh so beautiful and interesting , my problem is the drawing that take me so much time...

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks so much. ❤️

[@fivefiresdressagecentre3251]

❤❤❤

[@lada7539]

Thanks for motivation🌹

[@Stylvestre]

Oh gosh, I sketched the same nuthatch! We must have used the same reference photo 🤭 but I am yet to paint it and your style is so very inspiring! Really love the colors and the looseness yet the lines are well defined ❤️ Nuthatches are one of my favorite birds, the way they move around hopping upside down is so darling!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you! Have fun painting yours. 💖
