Transform Your Art with the Charging Technique

[@Nora-jt9zy]

I love watching you paint your beautiful paintings, and I love that you let us in on your little bloopers at the end 😊 Thank you for letting us see that you are human too, just like us, and show us your amazing sense of humor! That certainly puts a smile on my face and I hope you know that a simple thing like that actually makes a difference 😊

[@monica-NJ-123]

Love how you say “ I’ll drop in some color and let it do what it wants to do “ , I need to practice that , wonderful painting TY xoxo

[@richardcohen8072]

Unquestionably the best watercolor tutorials on You Tube ! Simply brilliant !

[@willingvessel1069]

You are currently my favorite watercolor teacher! I love how you make techniques simple. My confidence is building! Thank you!

[@saraooi6254]

I love all the detailed explanations on how you painted each step of the way. Your channel is definitely a go-to for tutorials . Thank you for sharing.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

That's very kind of you. Thank you Sara.

[@shirleymccamlie5088]

Shirley McCamlie......really lovely, I will try this. I have not painted for 7years. Thank you.

[@anthonyf3130]

Excellent lesson on the most difficult aspect of water colour painting. That is to allow the paint to do its job. I've been dabbling with watercolor for sometime. But though this is very clear in wet-on-wet, there is a temptation to aid the paint to move. One touch and its a disaster. This comes thru clearly in you video. Thanks. I found the last 1 minute hilarious too. This is exactly a problem all of us face when speaking into a video camera. Very enjoyable!

[@beatricepineda5923]

I find your channel such an inspiration! I am subscribing for sure!

Thanks for the outtakes at the end. As you teach, you appear so "perfect" so it's nice to see that you stumble occasionally too! :)

[@tanyatinker-scholz496]

I had no clue that watercolor could be so intricate‼️ Thank you sOoOo much for your tutorial, but, I’m continuing to watch and learn🙃

[@DebYarra]

I absolutely love your paintings and your tutorials! They are most informative and easy to follow along. I think my favorite part though is your bloopers in the end. You are very proper and professional in your videos and then during the bloopers you flip your finger at the camera and I immediately know I would enjoy having coffee with you. Thank you for the giggles😂❤

[@KalebDelaney-m7l]

The bloopers cracked me up!!!! Ok, seriously, I love how you show the viewer how you mix the paint on the pallet, and the amount you're using of each collar to achieve the right mix. Thanks!!!

Louise, you are unique! 💐

[@shandap3696]

The outtakes crack me up ! Super demonstration for charging. Thank you for both

[@PiggieMafia]

“I let it do what it wants to do,” re: color mixing on the paper. Again, YES YES YES, it’s so organic and…ok…I’ll say it…soul-satisfying, to see what the water, pigment and paper want to do on their own. That makes it all so organic and unique and original, which is why I picked watercolor as my medium to begin with. Later, I want to try alcohol ink on yupo paper. 😊 You’re going to eventually help me make that transition, though you don’t know it yet. ❤

[@Elliria_home]

That's a beautiful little frog and, as always, you give such clear instructions on how you do what you do. And, of course, you're my favorite person to be flipped off by.

[@xydia713]

I'm so glad that the algorithm put this Video in my recommendations. I've learned a lot with this Video and your Artworks are stunning! 😊

[@ceramicsky14]
