Would like this thanks

[@vickiestewart7394]

I could have given you a reference photo for this painting! These are the kind of chickens WE have. Nice brown eggs from these Golden Comets. Can’t WAIT to paint this one! Wonderful lesson, as always.

[@evadelgadobravo]

Lovely, can't wait to try it, and looking forward to see r the rooster! Thanks soooo much!

[@karenwilson6483]

I’ll take some reference photos. Can you messenger them to me 🐔

[@vickiestewart7394]

@@karenwilson6483 I’d be glad to send you some reference photos. What specifically would you like, a single hen, two together? We don’t have roosters (not allowed in our city limits, too noisy), but we do have 8 adorable egg-laying hens 🥰

[@karenwilson6483]

@@vickiestewart7394 I’ll take whichever you think are adorable. 😍 Hens are lovely 🥰

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

I enjoy your paintings immensely. You're an excellent teacher. Thank you.

[@maryalgar8779]

Stunning - one of my favourite subjects to see painted: chickens and roosters. I couldn't believe how the light yellow added at end added such a beautiful glow - made such a difference. You are so talented Louise.

[@CHARICEFAVORITES]

LOOOOVE your out takes!

[@carrollwilson5169]

Always love watching you paint. Your bloopers bring me smiles, though I do think you might be too hard on yourself on occasion. 😁

[@alisonhendry2928]

Why are there only 96K subscribers??? You are one of the best out there!!! Need to keep spreading the word… love these recent videos. Super helpful instructions for beginners and super helpful ideas for those of us who get lost in the details.

[@patlizgailer681]

What a great tutorial. I love the blurry of the eyes to help shape the image with darker colour. A very handy tip. Also love the water drops for texture. So glad you became a teacher as it shows in your teaching of art. Love these tutorials. I wake at 5.30am to watch them in peace. morning to

[@BadgerandBee]

Louise, I love this journey you are embarking on to create fresher and less complicated washes. I tend to be overly detailed, so your work and evolutions speak to me! I am a newcomer to watercolor, even though art, in many forms, has been my life's foundation. I've taken a slight hiatus to do some extensive home renovation, but I watch your videos while having my morning coffee. I have learned SO MUCH from you. I look forward to becoming your patron soon!

[@BreannaBell]

Beautiful painting. The end had me laughing so hard. So relatable!

[@johngovus2734]

What a fabulous lady and a great teacher

[@kileensmith5134]

Oh Louise! You are amazing! The way you break down a photograph, and transform it into a stunning watercolor. I am in awe of your gift. I found you when Covid came to Maryland, in the US. I have been following you since. Thank you for sharing, not only your incredible talents, but your own journey in watercolor, as well. Always take time for yourself. It's what helps us be there for others.

[@JH-cx1vx]

Oh I am inspired to paint my three hens. Sophia, rose and Blanche. Dorathy got taken by the fox.

[@ahuman3642]

This looked amazing, I’ve only just discovered you but I feel I may continue to watch your videos regularly in the future.

[@nettiemoss324]

Oh! this is sooo beautiful Louise! I don't think I'm going to find it too easy - with doing less is more! but shall definitely give it a try when the full tutorial come out as I love it - the face is magnificent! Thank you ;-)

[@janevance1694]

Louise I loved the out takes! Very good… nice to know that someone who looks so organised and professional can also slip up! Thank you and loved the chicken!

[@glenda7921]

Hi Louise, a “re-subscriber” here….I realized that last time I was too inexperienced to appreciate all your knowledge and it felt overwhelming. Now I’m so excited to be back and taking in all of your wisdom. Your new studio is fabulous, lucky you!

[@joshtavenner8083]

[@EliseArtology]

I honestly love your work...but I must say that this one may quite possibly be my favorite. The colors are so vibrant, stunning and simply magical. I am in complete awe at how this turned out. There is not even the tiniest thing I would change. Just want to say a sincere thank you for sharing the demonstration. Wow

[@SarahNewburyArt]

Hi Louise! I loved seeing how you simplified the feathers on the chicken -she turned out beautifully! Take care 😊💜

[@Lucream2]

lol...I liked the technics used but what made me laugh are those shy mistakes. This shows how much you really prepared your videos most of us are afraid to start only because of those mistakes. I am glad that you managed to overcome them and thanks for the lovely lesson.

Louise, your work is always so beautiful and this is no exception. I'm not exactly a chicken fan but how can you resist this elegant, glowing creature? I hope you get a handle on managing your busy schedule. In any case, just know that your great talent and calm demeanor is an inspiration to many, and I really value your work.

Louise, I've always loved your teaching but your bloopers were hilarious!! You always seem down to earth but very practical and forthright in all your explanations, which are such great qualities for a teacher, (Succinctly both approachable and understandable) but watching your outtakes, I see a whole new side of you and I loved every minute of it. You are divinely human!!!! :)

Don't forget to like the video, people! so many comments, but little likes. It helps, you know 😉. we all see all the struggle and time consumed with tutorials, patreons, Skilshare and editing videos, not to mention the painting itself... I'm a 2 month Patreon subs now, but Louise deserves all the help we may provide, as she helps and share us with so much 😊. stay safe you all, Covid is not something to play already!
