[@JeanneK930]

Louise, I loved the outtakes that you showed. It makes you human and that’s reassuring. 😊 I love your tutorials and the easy way you teach.

[@vaniacruzperez]

This is so much alive, like it is about to take off, brilliant

[@MsPKeller]

Love your tutorials~ they have given me the confidence to attempt drawing and painting birds (very hard subject for me). I can see the progress! Thank you! 🙏

[@auburnandgrey4457]

How wonderful. I have my first Carolina Wren at my feeder now here in Southern Canada. Thought he died during the last cold snap in February but he finally emerged 2 days ago. I love to watch him sing and dance. Inspiring video. I will try to paint him thanks to your video!

[@MoonLitChild]

Carolina wrens are one of my favorites! We get so many of them in our yard every spring

I love your tutorials Louise. I have not tackled water colour yet but I am getting closer to having a go. I also really enjoy your bloopers at the end of each video! Thank you. Your work is appreciated

This is an excellent video . I appreciate your attention to detail when describing how you are painting, what colors you are using, and also if applying wet, damp, dry etc. I also like the pace of your videos. You are an amazing teacher and painter! I love painting birds, so I was especially happy to see this video.

Hi Louise! Your wren paintings are beautiful! I hope you enjoy your new Etchr sketchbook... I absolutely love mine. Have a great weekend 😊

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Sarah. It's a nice little book. I think I might use it for all my little birds. You have a great weekend too!

[@GBorton]

Thank you SO much for adding this tutorial! I couldn't be happier that you've done a Carolina Wren. My absolute favorite bird!!

[@kileensmith5134]

Thank you for sharing your incredible talent. And your fabulous sense of humor!

[@bettyrogers9090]

You are human. We all struggle and can be over critical of our work. I hope someday I can paint as well as you.

[@dalemoyer]

Your an amazing artist. I enjoy your bloopers. 😂. Nice to know you’re human. From Dale in Ohio

[@alisonhendry2928]

Thank you for this little guy. What fun this will be to paint. I have been trying to get a photo of the little wrens that live near Snowmass , Colorado while we visit here and escape from Houston, but it is like trying to take a photo of a ping pong ball! This tutorial will keep me satisfied. I love your fairy wrens and hope to get back to Oz one day and photograph your lovely birds with so much colour and character, but for now I will enjoy your tutorials and get better at transparency. Love white ink! Takes away the fear of ahhhh lost my white feathers or whiskers.

[@angelomanriquejr541]

Beautiful... your so sweet watching the blooper at the end of your vids.

Thank you Martina. Have a great weekend. 💕

[@lesleyking2815]

I haven’t tried aqua board but while watching you struggle it reminded me of a painting I did on velum, the paint behaved similarly, I struggled and finished because the velum surface was beautiful in itself and made all the work worthwhile

[@sarahpuebla4502]

Awesome demo, thank you Louise ❤️❤️❤️ And the bloopers at the end 👌😂

[@suzieblair8089]

Louise, you are a hoot! Love watching your retakes. Loved this video as well, will be waiting for it to be loaded on Patreon.

Thank you Tiffany. I like mine too. I fill this one and get another.

Once again a wonderful video and gorgeous paintings. I recently discovered the existence of painted storks and thought they would look lovely as a watercolor painting, especially by you

Love this, thank you

So glad! Thank you.

omg, be still my heart! Hope it goes on Patreon, plllleeaasee…..ohhh, I just finished watching and see it will be going to Patreon. Doing a happy dance, over the moon! Thank you thank you!!!

Oh! Thanks so much for doing this little wren! It is native in my part of northwest Arkansas in the states. I think they are precious little gems! Love the tutorial!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

My pleasure and thank you Cherie.

[@shirleygen]

Love this, thank you for the tutorial, I always have Wrens make a nest in the tree outside the front of the house and as I type this he is singing away. They are my favorite bird, now I can paint him as well.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

My pleasure Shirley. That's beautiful.....lucky you. Thank you!

This was wonderful! I’m painting birds too. This inspires!

[@Caleta1962]

In my country, Spain, this bird is called Chochin. They nest in my garden. They are curious, daring and sing very well. Thank you.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

How wonderful. Thank you Silvia.....it's a Chochin!

[@rnee1000]

So so pretty!!! I love the warm colors on the wren and the contrasting background is perfect as it's muted but still a strong contrast. I like the idea of a journal for practice. I use 5x7 Arches paper for practice as I can't find a journal with equally good paper to do practice pieces on. Etcher journals look fabulous but they are quite expensive. Thank you so much for your tutorials. Your sweet personality is so relaxing and easy to follow your directions which are so detailed. Wishing you peace and joy.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much Renee. I wish the same for you.

[@kevingodding9316]

Dear Madam, What a beautiful Journal! And amazing bird painting. Even I enjoy painting birds. Apart from that I must say I enjoyed your Frog painting too (one of your earlier videos). Greetings from India🇮🇳

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you so much Joanna!

[@cathymikequimbyquimby7315]

Louise your birds are just amazing. I have so much trouble with them. I was going to say the feet are the most difficult for me but then there’s the beak and oh yes, the tail feathers. 😂. Oh well, anyway watching you paint them is magic. P.S. The outages are hilarious!

Louise, did the paper in the watercolour journal warp when you wet it?

[@karenfinneganart2480]

Hi Loise do you paint Australian wildflowers? I would love to see how you work with the fineness of bottlebrush or gum blossoms 😀

Hi Karen, they are on my list of things to try. I have painted a grevillea with a honey eater but I haven't tried any others yet.

Wrens are my favorite birds! So cheerfully industrious. And I love how the males start several nests and let the gals make the final choice. Thank you for doing this video... The struggles are real 😂😂

[@kurpitsa2343]

How do you transfer your drawing on to the watercolor paper?

You are very a good artist and I think your end is funny :-)

Thanks Sten.

[@jennyforeman4844]

Glorious little bird...does the ink dry out when you place it in a bowl Louise.? I assume it does unlike the Gouache which you can reactivate.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Jenny. Yes it does dry out. I put one little squirt out onto a palette.

[@kinbailey310]

My struggle starts with the drawing. I adore watercolor but drawing a wren is harder than anything else for me.

[@schoonergirl2658]

Yes, I agree. The drawing of any subject is difficult. I wonder what type of pencil Louise uses for her drawings?

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I have some mechanical pencils that I like to use. The graphite is 0.5mm I think.
