Best water colour on water demonstration on the internet by a long chalk Louise! Thank you 😊

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks so much.

[@deborahthomas3475]

Isn’t it amazing how the graphic squiggles end up looking so realistic

Thank you so much for the explanation on the pronunciation of Arches. Also, I’m praying for you to be fully restored to good health.

[@valeriecarpenter3963]

Thank you so much for sharing your insight! The work to create amazing art of this very simple subject requires/benefits from the many interesting, delicate and intricate techniques you've applied and been kind enough to share. I'm hoping to be able to absorb some for my own work.

Nine months ago i didn’t knew your lessons. Sinds several weeks my mother and i enjoy enormously watching you painting and listening to your excellent explanation.

Thank you for your KZbin films and the bloopers at the and. Please keep on painting as long as possible. A lot of greetings, my mother ( Lieve: prenounced leave with saying the E at the and) end myself Saskia, with the A of Alaska.

So glad you took time out for your family Louise, always so important and becoming rarer as they grow up and go on with their own lives..everyone becomes busy busy busy..I just about have to make an appointment 6 months ahead to get a free weekend with mine 🤭🤭 thanks for this tutorial. I tried water recently but used acrylic...must say the soft flow of watercolour looks alot easier. But then you make everything look easy...I love it when you say " it only took a couple of hours" Im still fiddling weeks later....big thankyou and great effort👍🥰

[@stephw1363]

Just love love this! I think you are the only one to help me understand how to paint water.....have watched soooo many videos but no one explains as well as you!

[@daveaquilante4158]

I've been intimidated about painting water, and you've expressed water perfectly here. Your instructions and expertise are sublime! Thank you Louise! I love your talent!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Excellent. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks Dave.

[@thatbearlife]

I have watched sooo many unsatisfactory (to me, because of my paint style) water tutorials, and then I found you! Your tutorial is great, and I'll be trying this tomorrow, but with a gull on the water. Also, though I am really impressed with a good many of you watercolour artists, your style is very close to what I am trying to achieve. I'm really glad to have discovered your channel, thank you.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks so much - I'm glad you found it helpful!

[@NotoriousHighBP]

Little bit of hair poking up at the end cracked me up. I always love your outtakes!

[@parkerworth]

Congrats on the break with your family. Your tutorials have inspired me . Thanks

[@robertr6675]

Louise, your teaching here is truly my inspiration.

[@patriciamcmahon3448]

Oh Louise, you are so funny and wonderful, not to mention a great artist. Love your work and videos. Thanks for the chuckles at the end. Makes it all a little less serious and intimidating. Thank you!

[@deborahtrate2092]

Thank for the very detailed tutorial on painting water. Water has been difficult for me. This breaks it down in easy steps.

[@debbiebuttars5598]

What an experiment! Gorgeous. I’ve definitely steered clear of painting water. You open possibilities. Love you! ❤❤❤

[@annevickers3307]

I love your endings. It makes my day.

[@carlmarino4]

Besides admiring your exceptional talent both in painting and teaching, your sweet whispering voice makes me feel like I'm getting a secret instruction. Love your sense of humor with your outtakes at the end!

[@joykruczay]

I was thrilled to see a "different" subject. How beautifully you portrayed and explained this.

[@terraloft]

Enjoyment ,tone of colors and voice, heart and soul activity

[@staceylu2195]

Beautiful work and great choices of what to paint, which is my biggest challenge, aside from not being able to paint!

[@maryalgar8779]

Just love it! Such a peaceful scene. Glad you refreshed with some family time.

[@Mr.S65]

I never expected the granulation to show so much on hot paper. Marvelous painting:)

[@catherineoneil]

Louise - thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world. I’ve just started (again) with watercolours and this tutorial is just brilliant!

[@ninasorjonen40]

You are so tallented. I just love to watch your work and it inspires to try to paint. At the end of your video you are so sweet to show how sometimes things don’t end up as you wanted. Thank you for all this that you show for us. 😀

[@scrapbooking100]

It’s awesome, the water was so realistic.

[@Pistachio2024]

That's gorgeous 😍

[@mariannedavila3574]

Beautiful. Makes me want to go back to traditional medium.

[@SuzanneLegault]

Glad to hear that you had some family time. I was hoping that you were away for happy times and not health reasons. Beautiful painting and as always I love that you share your vulnerable artistic moments.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Suzanne. 💕

[@pixels2u]

Louise, you are such a refreshingly wonderful teacher. You explain everything, the paper, the paints and brands, the importance of wetness levels, the types and brands of brushes, and most importantly, you explain why you make each decision - and then you demonstrate it. Your love of teaching and of watercolor comes through. I have all the supplies, but so much fear to begin.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much. 💕

[@dorothyg3012]

Wonderful tutorial - the reflections look so realistic! I almost missed the bloopers at the end. So funny!

[@wendytaylor3714]

Love your paintings and your style. Thank you for sharing your excellent tutorials. Also really like that in spite of your great talent you can still make a little fun of yourself and enjoyed your mis-takes. Wishing you continued success.

[@amandastratton8242]

WOW Louise! what a great painting Thank you for sharing with us and so glad you enjoyed your family break x

[@Babs9285]

Beautiful!!! Love watching you!!! Love you out takes,, you are too funny!!

[@rituanand943]

You are one of the best artist guide I have come across on You tude. I Love the way you explain every detail while painting. You really give confidence & inspire me to paint water colours. Keep painting and sharing your videos 👍

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you so much Ritu.😀

[@gloriam.sweatman3152]

Thank you Louise Da Masa for your watercolor videos! You are a great illustrator and teacher!@

[@whatadillo]

Thanks!

[@karisteinbacher4535]

Favored your water reflections to watch. Will make my first attempt soon. Thanks for sharing

[@donnagoode6923]

This reminds me of some water reflections in some photos I took in Venice. Now you've given me an idea of a slightly different take on a Venice watercolor. Thank you for the wonderful video. Beautiful.

[@elleeo1495]

Beautiful painting, Louise! I love boats & anything water. Thank you for your detailed explanation of the water.

[@StuartwasDrinkell]

The fact this was an experiment is amazing! These are some of the best reflections on disturbed water ive ever seen done. Thank you once again Louise. Love the outakes 🧡

[@pattycyr8662]

Thanks so much for explaining everything so well. I am further inspired to try painting water again!

[@BR-lo1pi]

Absolutely beautiful piece! A lovely transition from the usual animal subjects.

[@bluewren65]

I loved watching you paint this. Perhaps it will spur you on to other diverse subjects! Don't get me wrong, your birds and critters are just stunning. This is a great example of how if when you build your skills they will transfer to other less familiar subject matter. The reflection has such a gorgeous mercurial quality. Nice.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

You are right! That's very true. Thanks so much. 💕

[@jeannemacdonald7870]

Oh! I am so excited about this particular painting...beautiful. I can't wait to see the full tutorial on Patreon! As always, thank you!

[@PatMcAnn]

Really amazing.

[@judyosborne5431]

At last a tutorial from which I can keep on learning. Yes, water is intimidating- you have taken us methodically thru the processes of colors and shapes. Thanks for sharing also your learning as you teach.

[@lydiabosley9152]

Hi Louise - Watching this while on a brief little road-trip to Seattle, first time my husband Chris and I have traveled together since Covid began, so a treasured change of pace! Glad to hear you've spent some time relaxing with your family too. Belated Happy Birthday to your daughter - mine was on the first of the month as well! I love your little boat and the water will be great fun to experiment with - thanks for this lesson!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks so much Lydia. I hope you have a lovely time with Chris. Enjoy and take care. 💝

[@pebblesthecat3625]

I have just spent 1 hour watching your videos, (this being the latest), and I have learned more in this hour than I have in the past 4 years watching other KZbin channels. I am so happy to have found your videos so I subscribed. Your explanations are so exact and so precise, you make it so easy to understand exactly what to do in order to achieve the specific results I want. I feel like I wasted 4 years watching those other channels as you are undoubtedly the best instructor on watercolour painting anywhere on the Internet. Thank you for sharing your skills and knowledge with us lesser mortals who have floundered for so long, it's greatly appreciated.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much for your very kind message. I'm happy that I was able to help you. 💕

[@SheXyShellyMarie]

Glad you got to spend some time with your family. Happy Holidays Louise. Thank you for all your amazing instruction. I’ve grown as an artist thanks to you.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

That's a lovely compliment. Thank you Shelly. That makes me very happy. 💕

[@_Adrian_Llarena_]

Thank you Louise for this tutorial. Water reflections are one of the challenging subjects to paint. I learned a lot from this vid.

[@maggiemac52]

Thank you for this tutorial. You are very good at explaining things. My painting didnt turn out all that good. I had crappy paper. But next time i will be better prepared. thanks.

[@Artsie2]

You are such an elegant lady, great artist and a magnificent inspiration to me.

[@debbiemendes4417]

wow, love the ripples in the water. I can't wait for your full tutorial on Patreon. Thank you Louise!

[@Artsie2]

You are such a gracious lady, great artist and a magnificent inspiration to me.

[@lorrainemanning3809]

Just beautiful

[@nancywhite2014]

It’s absolutely beautiful. Well done in the water ripples. Thanks for sharing sweetie.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks for watching Nancy. 💕

[@stephw1363]

Ooooooh so excited i neeeed help with paintin water! Gonna watch this repeatedly thankyou!

[@squadiodatamj5998]

THIS is what I've been seeking. Thank you Louise, what a gift! Also, out-takes were a complete giggle-fest. Again, with thanks.

[@vickibell6923]

As a long time fan I continue to enjoy and learn from your videos. I’m loving your quirky bloopers too. :))

[@barbaracollins7815]

Ha! Nevermind I just realized it’s on Patreon and joined. 😀

[@s.terris9537]

Thank you! I'm nowhere near attempting water yet. I really appreciated your pacing as you demonstrated your method of capturing the water, ripples and shadow. Great teaching!

[@jennytrost]

Thank you for sharing your talent with us, what a gift! This is beautiful.

[@etienneventer8968]

Thank you! This is absolutely amazing. You are an inspiration.

[@kellyhalligan1328]

Good job and thanks for the telling us how to correctly pronounce Arches!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Kelly.

[@bevjensen2913]

Good for you! Not afraid to challenge yourself!

[@j4yb1rd22]

amazing video! my current art assignment is with watercolor and my reference photo is a little cat in water so this was super helpful 🥰🥰🥰

[@alaindebroux3935]

It’s very magnifique …👍👍👍

[@dragonflywhisperer47]

Absolutely stunning! Love watching you paint and explain your technique and reasons for what you are doing! Thank you!

[@MsMoniqueWilson]

I love it. And the tips for the water were so helpful!

[@dotellabelle]

I really enjoyed watching this. Feeling so inspired.

[@vanderluciabarbosalima7650]

😍😍😍 loved!

[@aartadventure]

I'm happy to hear you've been able to enjoy some time with your family after all the lockdowns. It must have been especially hard for your son in Sydney. The painting looks incredible as always, and I hope this means we will get to see more subjects with water from you!

[@raynaprettyman5361]

Beautiful. Both the practice and the second one!

[@maryk1668]

Every artist portrays water in such a variety of techniques. Love yours! I try painting water as often as possible and see improvement, but not complete satisfaction. You have inspired me to not give up and be a bit braver and relaxed. Living walking distance to a lake and using your inspirational painting, I am planning on some plein air watercoloring very soon.

[@solarpanelcleaning-t9d]

Beautiful

[@maharukhdaley2310]

Thank you for your very generous and precise videos, Louise. Very inspiring.

[@prabhapanth6762]

Really enjoyed watching your video demo.

[@jaroslavaandronova6572]

Thank you! 😘

[@michaelcody3829]

That's lovely thanks Louise.

[@kerstink1100]

Funny that anglophones also struggle with the Arches' name as germans do as well. This is because in german it means 'ass' if you pronounce it correctly in french 😁 I love your boat 💖👍

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Lol- 😝😂💝

[@heathiedoodle]

That is beautiful!!

[@ashleigh833100]

Love how you explain things it's so much clearer!! Thankyou so much! Using one if your techniques right now😍

[@nkguenther1]

I’m looking forward to giving this a try, Louise. Water is one of my weak areas!

[@missrebeccadance]

Loving your videos! I'm learning so much and I really enjoy your calm tone and your thought processes as you paint. This has given me some encouragement that I could actually try painting water! Your bloopers are hysterical... They make me giggle and brightens my day. Cheers!

[@gavinweir7755]

Thanks

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Welcome and thank you very much.

[@alipainting]

Thank you Louise for this fabulous technique lesson. Water has always been my favorite subject to paint. May I suggest a pic with transparent water, as at a tropical beach or swimming pool. :)

[@lesleyhughes4904]

Wonderful work and great instructions, thankyou.

[@don9133]

Pronunciations can be a pain in the Arches n-est-ce-pas? I so enjoyed how you took what can be and still is for me an intimidating subject and made it less so. Nicely done Louise. :-)

[@judymills873]

Wow! Live this!

[@cathyriach1285]

Your talent is amazing - thank you so much for this!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks very much Cathy.

[@frenchgrama]

Sooooo thrilled to see you painting a ‘seascape’ - I looove your style & process of painting but I’m only interested in painting landscapes, urban scenes or seascapes and I have been hoping and hoping since I first began following you that you’d paint a landscape etc., I’m really, REALLY surprised you chose to paint this on hot press paper as I’m sure you know the wonderful textures that can be achieved with cold press and especially rough paper, especially the effects from granulation as these papers are a match made in heaven for painting watercolour landscapes etc., I’m really curious to know how much of a difference there would have been had you painted this on cold press or rough paper…. thanks for doing this and please, PLEASE I’d love you to do more ‘scapes’….

[@loisallen3078]

Masterful Louise. Love it.. Would love to try it but being a beginner I can't imagine what my water and reflections would look like, but will give it a try.

[@vickiestewart7394]

I've been so busy painting Christmas wreaths I don't know if I can get in the mood for a summer boat scene, but you've sure made me want to with this fantastic painting, yet another beautiful one!!! :) :)

[@CelticPurl]

Lovely! Thanks for sharing your technique.

[@bruceosborne1892]

Wow! Beautiful work!

[@liliawebb9377]

Beautifully done! Congratulations!

[@susiedelay999]

You make it look so easy‼ Beautifully done‼

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks so much Susie. 😊

[@saundersd1962]

That turned out amazing. I’ve ordered a set of those eradicator brushes as it’s one of my favourite techniques and not all brushes can do it so well, thanks for providing the link and affiliates code

[@marievanderwijk9845]

Very nice!
