Louise, you are my favorite watercolor instructor. I love how you keep things simple and I love a limited palate. But girl, I have to say, I love the bloopers. It makes me laugh, and realize I’m not the only one who’s word’s don’t come out the way I want them to. 😂

[@LouiseDeMasi]

😂 Thanks so much Rhonda.

[@AnnieNoodle]

This big? This big? This big? Hahahaha the outtakes were especially funny today. Have a great weekend!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Lol- thanks Annie. 🥰

[@sonyaoart]

"accepting what the paint gives me" is now my watercolour mantra. it never gets any better when I mess with the paint... The bird turned out fantastic!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

That's great! Same here Sonya - I have to learn to trust the paint and the paper 💕. Thank you.

[@moirad6579]

Beautiful painting, great teacher ☺

[@rosedoucet2188]

Thank you so much for sharing! Loads of tips and tricks gleaned from this video👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@0to100Art]

Love how you paint

[@cynthiakeith6925]

Beautifully done Louise. A painting I will enjoy completing. We enjoy watching our blue jays in the back yard. Their colouring is stunning against the contrasting fresh white snow. They enjoy sunflower seeds and it is not uncommon to see flat boards on stilts or birdbaths filled with seeds with blue jays enjoying a meal. I would much rather see these birds eating seeds than being hasty to smaller birds! Thank you and have a great day!

I followed this tutorial. The outcome isn't exactly like what it shows here, but I'm happy with what I painted. :)

[@izzitme2707]

Thank you Louise for another wonderful video. I love your birds so much! This one is exceptional as usual, and I can't wait to give it a try. Also, like so many others, your bloopers always make my day. 🥰

[@bretoner2]

[@sanjanachanda2531]

I’ve learnt a lot from your tutorials….thank you so much❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I'm so glad. Thank you Sanjana.

[@andreatannahill645]

Thank you Louise for the great tutorial of this incredible painting. I live in Canada & see Blue Jays often. They are one of my favorite birds so I am really happy you chose to paint one. It was wonderful seeing a few snippets of the black kitten again too. Will you share any details about the kitten?

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Andrea. Yes I will have to. Usually we film the b-roll (secondary parts) after I have done the face to camera parts so I didn't realise he was going to be in it. His name is Leo and he's a sweety. ❤️

[@odileirvoas741]

Magnifique !!

[@dijosephine9556]

Looks good Louise. Love how you did texture on the birds back and Dimension on the lower wings. ❤️👍

[@eileenmichaud5898]

Beautiful bluejay! I have got to try this with limited colors.

[@fuzzydragons]

such a lovely big blue birb 😀 wonderful job with the black markings

[@catherinevangass4927]

Love the loose and detailed areas, lovely ❣️

[@susanmiddlebrook5882]

Oh, Louise, it’s gorgeous! It’s an arresting presentation of a beautiful bird. Your mastery of using a limited palette, your method of using shading so artistically always produces an amazing work of art. I always love your watercolor art. You are my favorite artist. You’re amazing and so very talented! Thank you for sharing your beauty with us! ♥️

[@janemerves7682]

I love your beautiful elegant style. I learn something new from every one of your videos! Thank you for your wonderful tutorials.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

I'm so glad! Thank you Jane.

[@atrinka1]

Loved the blurred edge! I need to practice this technique more because in my case the blurred portion always looks unnatural and forced. Thanks you!

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you Raquel. 💕

[@katiearetos53]

I'm so glad that I stumbled across your lovely videos. You are very inspiring. Hopefully one day I'll have a small fraction of your ability!

[@MsMoniqueWilson]

Beautiful painting Louise Thank you and for the way you mix your colours. I will be giving that a try x

[@LouiseDeMasi]

You’re welcome. Thanks Amanda. 💕

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

Very nice! Thank you, Louise! I have one of these sketched out to paint - as well as 10 or so other birds - but I haven't tackled it yet, and your techniques have given me a place to start. 💕

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Wonderful - have fun! Thank you. 💕

[@reenagoel7626]

[@christinebaehr1953]

Will you be adding this to your Patreon? 🤞🏼🤞🏼 I just joined your Patreon in hopes of finding this tutorial.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Hi Christine. Yes I will be putting it on Patreon. You can message me directly on Patreon if you need to.

[@beekayford]

Louise, sorry I am so confused. I thought I needed to join Skillshare in order to see the class on this blue jay. But I don’t see that class in Skillshare. Is it already on Patreon, or is it an upcoming Patreon class? (I am rejoining your Patreon in Feb.)

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Hi Barbara, it's coming to Patreon in the first half of this year.

[@Lawrence.T.Ingalls]

Where can I get a ceramic palette like that (time stamp 3:55)?
