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 😊

[@pdxwildchildroberts5586]

USA 🇺🇸here💜...I'm into abstract, ya know tape, rattle can n gum wrappers, lol..but you are amazingly creative n naturally talented at your watercolor technique💯..I'm totally hooked..ring that bell, people👍omg, I'll show up just for the bloopers at the end...you're awesome..thx for sharing🙂

[@lynnealbert7792]

Il love frogs. A painting of a frog will be my next painting.

[@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

[@vda_lin2463]

Lol, the end of your video, the bloopers makes me feel like I wanna hang out with yewwwwww... too cute. You seem like such a lovable person 😂🎉😍

[@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!

[@suel4269]

Let it paint itself! I need to remember that!

[@RafiIsmail-hl8tf]

Amazing frog

[@jacquiebgood]

love love love the bloopers at the end....you make me smile lol

[@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. ❤

[@Joe-peace]

You’re hilarious! I saw this video to be 3 years old…how did I miss this?!?

[@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.

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

[@willingvessel1069]

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

[@Jen-GP]

First time watching your videos and the best part? Your outtakes! 😂

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🙃

There truly is something about watching an artist that is mesmerizing.

[@davidmcdonald7775]

This is my first video. At first I thought you were going to burst out crying. But then I came to realise it's just your lovely gentle demeanor. Your artwork is so beautiful. I've subscribed 👍

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you so much!!

[@davidmcdonald7775]

@@LouiseDeMasi no problem, love. I've watched more of your videos and they're so good. I love your art and you explain it all so well ❤️

[@richardcohen8072]

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

[@deborahbloom4624]

Thank you, Louise! Very helpful. If I could JUST learn to leave it be instead of trying to impose my will on the paint!

[@MsGnocchi]

Ah-feck-ett! That's what I say when I screw up my painting 😂 thank you for the wonderful video. Such a joy to watch you paint. Amazing techniques

[@carolatchley229]

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! :)

[@jeanburgin160]

lol you bloopers were so cute! All the best to you.

[@debil.5910]

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!!!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you Debi.

There truly is something about watching an artist that is mesmerizing.. Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher!.

[@saltpepperketchup7082]

I apologize ahead of time, but I have to say that You are a certified bad-ass! (That is a huge compliment). I tried to find a more proper statement but, throughout the video I repeatedly found myself saying "this chick is such a bad-ass!". Those greens turned out so much more interesting than a tube could provide. Your subjects are right down my alley. I'm just a dabbler in watercolors. I have always loved them. And I learned that the dabbing color on color is "charging". Thank you for sharing.

[@jennifermceachern7424]

Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher!

[@user-fc8xl7fn7z]

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😂❤

[@kimhallson9579]

I am so glad I found your podcast

Oops sorry Maria just found them, I was too busy commenting to watch the end. Cheers from Western Australia 🦘🦘

[@MrKongatthegates]

I needed this lesson badly. My watercolors are good but not awesome, and this technique looks pretty awesome so thank you so much. My washes are always kind of dead for lack of a better term.

[@don9133]

If it's Friday it's learn something new day. Louise knows how to put a collar on the colour! ;-)
