[@jennyc5132]

Ah Louise what can I say other than "love ya!!" What pretty paintings 🥰

[@DottieStanley]

Such a lovely painting. He's sooooooooooooooo cute! Or maybe it's a sheeeeeeee! Amazing you can do that with only 3 colors.

[@jtpaar1732]

Who knew crabs could be cute? Hope all is well with you and yours, Louise and you'll soon get some time to squeeze that grandbaby again!

[@silviamariaciccu8963]

One of the best watercolor paintings I saw on KZbin

[@joycohen938]

So adorable! Such a cute little crab with a lovely a scolour Ceem. The seal pup is the sweetest. So amazing what you are able to achieve with only 2 colours. Love your bloopers ;)

[@beverliecox4686]

I absolutely adore your sense of humor... and also your work. :')

[@catepearce2138]

Thank you, you are so clear with explaining your process that we are able to follow you without feeling we have to run to catch up, as with some artist,. Your bloopers are very funny. Happy days,

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Glad it was helpful. Thank you Cate.

[@SillyGurl12]

Love him to bits! I can't wait to try to paint this guy... I'll name him "Dijon"!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Lol- That's a good name for him. Thank you Traci.

[@sue6002]

[@Artistandkeepsakes]

Love the crab

[@jeannemacdonald7870]

Louise, you bring so much joy...the bloopers are really so funny and charming. Love your techniques and with the crab the color selection is beautiful. There are mqny, especially beginners that hesitate to use complimentary colors that are the main colors of the painting...thank you for showing us how lovely they can be and can play nicely! I always look forward to new subjects. I especially love the sea creatures and anything that has to do with the ocean. Thank you, I can't wait for the tutorials of the crab and seal.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Jeanne. I'll be working on the full length tutorials this week.

[@awendaawenda8011]

I think the crabs legs at the back right are due to shadows. You did a great interpretation and I love it. Great job!

[@hana_maru22]

You’re bloopers at the end of the video made my day, thank you for including it 🤣, and as always, beautiful work and wonderful talent, thank you for sharing your techniques ♥️❤️♥️

Just discovered your great vlog. I also do graphite underdrawing for my watercolours but somehow most if not all of my peers discouraged it. Now I rediscovered it 20 years later thru you.

[@MD-hk8xq]

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks MD.

[@barbararodgz4932]

[@marilynfranks8995]

You are such a wonderful artist. I learn so much from you. I think I will find the photo and paint along with you because I love your crab and have been looking for one to paint. I also love that you don't take yourself so serious and include your bloopers.

[@stephw1363]

I love all your wildlife paintings....but right now i am having such trouble trying to paint a nice realistic scene of water with bluegreen clear wavelets and yellow warmish rocks below the surface.....oooh i wish you would show me how! Yours are the only tutorials online that really seem clear and informative. Love them thankyou!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks so much Steph. That sounds difficult!

[@stephw1363]

@@LouiseDeMasi it might just be my lack of knowledge.....much to learn! I cant wait to see you paint some landscapes with water! Im sure you will know how to make it look easy! I love this crab though i think i need to try him too!

[@SarahNewburyArt]

Wow Louise! I just love this colour combination and the crab turned out perfectly! 🤩 Have a lovely weekend 🥰

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Sarah. You too!

Thank you dear Louise. Wonderful to watch.

Just caught the studio slab at the end! Squeeeel! So excited for you! Thanks for sharing. Let us see how it goes up.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

You bet! Thanks Alison.

[@scrapbooking100]

Beautiful

[@DocRikki]

So glad to have found your videos here on KZbin, fantastic stuff! Love the outtakes!

[@maryalgar8779]

Just love it! Think that crab would make a great story book character. The complementary scheme worked so well. Thanks for tip on not having equal amounts of both -- make one more dominant. Wondering how other complementary colours would work on that crab subject; like red/green or blue/orange. Your line drawings look so accurate. Maybe some day you will share tips on how to get better at line drawings. Thank you so much Louise.

[@patriciateal2099]

so cute!

[@alrunahom9521]

Danke,das war super‼️‼️‼️

[@marilynfranks8995]

You are such a wonderful artist. I learn so much from you. I love your bloopers. A sense of humor is an essential ingredient in being an artist. We often get so serious about our work! I had to become a patreon. You're just the person I need to learn wet-in-wet. I have been doing dry brush watercolor and want to learn these methods.

[@TracyIndy]

Thank you so much for sharing this lovely painting and your fun outtakes.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Tracy.

[@don9133]

A new studio! How exciting. :) Enjoyed this and as always I have learned something new.

My goodness Louise the crab is so cute. What a lovely painting, love the colours. Thanks. Helene

[@jam4441]

So thrilled to have stumbled upon your videos .Great to see Australian content and so beautifully created. I am new to watercolours but am finding your tutorials really helpful and straight forward . As a fellow Aussie could I request a tutorial for an Australian Magpie? ( I loved your Butcher Bird video ) They are such beautiful birds but being mostly black I find very hard to paint . Cheers Judy

[@neilexploreology]

Cuteness overload! I always enjoy watching the out takes😃. Louise, I am trying to paint your flamingo tutorial, hope it turns out good( i just love to draw, and i love following your tutorials. Thank you for sharing!!!!

Lovely unique treatment! I really enjoy your tutorials, I've learned a lot. I have found each artists seems to have a favorite pigment that they use in each painting. I'm so glad yours is Winsor Violet, it's beautiful.

[@suel4269]

Very useful! Lots to remember! Thankyou

[@lydiabosley9152]

So exciting seeing the slab for the studio, yippee! The crab looks really fun and not too hard, and it's in my favorite color combo so I feel like I must do it asap!! Thank you, Louise! 💜💛💜💛

[@marjoriejohnson6535]

Another great tutorial, As soon as the vertigo leaves again , I really want to try this. Fantastic information.. thank you.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Marjorie. I hope you overcome it soon.

[@elizabethpaints]

Absolutely loved this video! Crabs are one of my favorite animals for many reasons, but I've never attempted to do a serious study. I so much appreciate the details of your lesson, I will definitely limit my palette next time I paint. Thank you so much!

[@dorismuller5729]

I'm looking forward to the patreon video ❤

[@vfxsquad511]

love your video out takes too..... :)

[@susanjerrell9220]

Maybe you could take a speech class? 🤣 Gorgeous crab. Love the colors you chose and the pose of the crab. It would have been easier to simply paint the shell. Great job!!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I need to! Thank you Susan. 😝💜

[@Muccasbronza]

it's so interesting! Are the drawings ( to trace) for the lesson available on your patreon? Thank you

[@barryedgington6812]

Oops I forgot to say how exciting for you that the slab for your studio is already there. You must be so excited. Helene

[@jennyforeman4844]

Love your colour combinations on this one Louise. I look forward to the tutorial on Patreon. I see potential for a lot of variations of colour with this one. what strength of pencil do you use for your drawings Louise?

[@danitagoins4574]

hello - I want to buy a lesson from you - but I care what language they are taught in? Are there subtitles or Russian translation?

[@pedrogorgonio753]

This crab in portuguese ( Nortest Brasil) is called Maria Farinha , the translation would be something like YUCCA ( cassava) MARY. Funny , isn´t it?
