Oh Louise, I thoroughly enjoy your channel for so many reasons. Your method of instruction is impeccable and so easy to understand. The calmness in your voice is encouraging and makes me feel confident that I can do this. And...last, but not least...LOVE when you add the outtakes at the end. Nice to have a reminder of how much time and effort goes into this process - makes me appreciate your gift even more. Be well! 🌞

I tell people to put things in, in odd numbers and i get crickets back before they rush to ignore me. One of the very first things I learned from you, was to put the yellow on the first layer and the green on top - it makes such a difference! And I love playing with alternative colors, like blues on the yellows, or red iron oxide, cause not everything is spring green, and I feel that some decay in a picture enhances the beauty. Thanks for another lovely video!

Have you seen the Etchr Mirror for artists? Aussie company worth supporting. It allows you to draw onto wc paper from a pic on a phone or iPad.

Thank you Tricia. I use a sharp knife to cut it from the board. I pry the staples out of the board with a letter opener. I pull the staples out of the paper and then I trim the gummed tape off the paper with my paper cutter. It gives me a nice straight edge.
@katantonini3 жыл бұрын
I love fuchsia plants! How come you don’t use the Saral yellow paper? I use that whenever I am transferring a picture and there is no smudging at all. Also, because it transfers yellow, I never have any lines showing up after painting. No need to erase your lines to a saint tracing. I don’t know if you have tried that yet but you might want to try the yellow paper because it works beautifully.

I transfer my image on a tracing paper, by using a pen. I make my own 'graphite' paper using pencil that is scribbled on plain paper, which I place down on the watercolour paper. The tracing paper is placed on top of the 'graphite' paper & then I re-draw the image. Here is video showing more soft edges in a loose, floral painting: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJiQqoGDjbGKfNE

When you use your own photos is there a photo editing program you use to get the picture to scale to transfer to paper. A friend sent me the most gorgeous woodpecker but the file size when I print from my phone is just too big and I don’t know how to scale it down. I don’t draw so I like to trace my pictures to the watercolor paper. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

Thank you Donald. I meant for my Patreon tutorials rather than my KZbin tutorials. When I make my Patreon tutorials I don't skip over anything. Here on KZbin my tutorials are 15 to 20 minutes long whereas my Patreon tutorials are between 1 and 2 hours long. They take many days to complete and the more involved the painting is the longer the tutorial will be. I prefer to keep some of them a bit simpler so I can produce them quicker and so my patrons don't become overwhelmed. When I paint for myself I take my time and put lots more detail in. I try to paint for myself as often as I can because I enjoy it so much more when I'm not inhibited by the camera so I understand what you mentioned.
