Absolutely love this project. I have roosters and hens on my kitchen walls. Never intended to, but I bought a spectacular w.c. painting of a white rooster with blues and reds. “ His Majesty” is beautiful. That started people buying ceramic chickens for me ever since. ( STOP ALREADY). Thank you for showing me how to paint another beauty!

[@LaviniaNova]

There is just something wonderful about roosters and chickens! I painted one for my mom for this past Mother's Day and just loves it! She still raves about it, so much better than giving flowers this year 😄

[@Grannysadventures]

As a retired HS Art teacher, I so appreciate your teaching videos and style. I found you about 1 month ago, and can’t wait for new videos. Absolutely love your blooper endings!

[@sylphofthewildwoods5518]

Such a lovely Rooster. Thank you, Louise.

[@lornafinch8855]

Beautiful colours on this rooster. The simple details on the neck feathers were just right, I always get too fussy.

Thank you Louise , I find myself unable to balance my life and I currently don’t have a turn off switch , art is all I think about and it’s all I want to do , from the moment I wake up I grab a cup of coffee, my paint brush and turn on you tube and will be at it all day and night ,the dishes and dust bunnies are piling up around me and dinner , pffft , someone else can cook! I really appreciate you sharing that you were having difficulty finding that perfect balance as well , I don’t feel so bad now other artists struggle with it too! I will definitely check out skill share and join your patron! Thank you again and for the beautiful rooster painting , I am going to paint it for my mother in law, I already did the chicken and she loved it ! …….one more thing I just received your book on painting sea life and I love it !!! Blessings

The warmth of these vibrant colours certainly brought me joy on this bitterly cold Mullaway morning ... absolutely gorgeous. Thank you😎.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

My pleasure 😊. Thank you Sarah.

Querida Louise: Eres mi maestra en Acuarela! No he encontrado alguien tan buena como tú! Acabo de descubrir este video con subtítulos en español y quiero darte las gracias, y pedirte si pudieras hacer lo mismo con todos tus videos, para todos los que no entendemos el inglés. Tus consejos son magníficos y quisiera un día pintar como tú. Gracias, de corazón por todo lo que compartes.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Muchas gracias Giuidita. Puedes cambiar los subtítulos a español en todos los videos. Haga clic en el ícono de ajustes y luego en 'subtítulos cc' y luego en 'traducir automáticamente' y luego seleccione español.

[@giuditalera8264]

Mil gracias!! Ahora ya voy a poder entender todos tus videos y espero un día pintar parecido a ti. Dios te bendiga!@@LouiseDeMasi

[@bonnieg4076]

I can always use help with blending, thank you.

[@TammyDawson]

What a handsome rooster!

[@conniemesce4093]

Love your animals especially roosters and other kind of birds! ❤

[@amandastratton8242]

Lovely painting Louise. So vibrant! Thank you for sharing with us well done to your son great camera work xx

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks Amanda.

[@lindamarsh6711]

Louise you are a delight! Humble, talented and fun! I love your bloopers. I can only hope to be half as creative as yourself! God bless! 🇨🇦👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏽🙏🏼☝🏻

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much Linda.

[@myrrhinegrossi2744]

Really wonderful painting. Thank you Louise for all your videos. It's make my work in watercolour easier.

[@stampinturtles]

“I accept what it gives me.” That’s a beautiful statement. I’ve recently started teaching watercolor classes and it’s been interesting to see how my students want to control the paint. I keep reminding them it’s watercolor and to let it flow and bloom. I may need to use your phrase. Kinda like accepting what life throws at you. I also tell my students that for me it’s about letting The Holy Spirit work through me. I may not even think while painting. Just let my hand go and create with what the paint is doing. Thank you for sharing so many tips. Your art is gorgeous.

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you very much Jacqueline. 💕

[@danitagoins4574]

Cannot wait to try the chicken and the rooster! God bless you and your work! The galah is my favorite!

[@jam4441]

Hi Louise I love your tutorial and your style of teaching. I am wondering if you would consider doing a tutorial for an Australian Magpie ? I have not seen any artists here on youtube paint a magpie in water colour and really would love to learn how. Cheers Judy

[@dorothygladsjo3510]

Love your explanations! Thank you!

[@user-wl4vu5pu7z]

Good morning Louise, Ive recently started watercolor painting and have viewed many tutorials. As soon as I watched my first tutorial from you I knew that was the style of painting I wanted achieve. Watching you paint is very therapeutic as well as educational. I haven't seen any tutorials of sandhill cranes, have you ever done one? I would love to be able to paint a greeting card for my neighbors. They have a pair with a young baby that visit daily and they enjoy them. Painting them I thought would be a nice gift for them to enjoy.Thank you for your inspiration. Lucie G

[@geraldinemilne5995]

Thanks Louise! I always learn so much from you!

[@MssJoker1]

[@psychochickenanimations464]

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thanks very much Adeline.

[@johnsarhadian3673]

[@lufhaz]

You have new camera! Beautiful picture ! ❤ Rooster is also amazing, as all of youre paintings. I love youre style ❤

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Thank you! It belongs to my son but he's told me what I need to buy.

[@lufhaz]

@@LouiseDeMasi i do photography, it was first thing i saw 😅. Such a luxury, nice, soft focus. It is pricey, but when you see the difference, you just cant go back. Youre son is sweetheart. Cheff kiss

[@SarahNewburyArt]

I really love this colourful rooster Louise and enjoyed seeing how you simplified the feather detail. It’s stunning! Congratulations on 100k too! 😊💜

Beautiful Video. Your style is amazing!

[@AnimalArtbyTerraCotta]

The transition of color fading to light outline is a very artistic! Love how it focuses the eye and interest 🥰

Thank you Patricia.

[@mariannedanhofbekkers2671]

Hi Louise, I’m with you on patreon and made already quite a few very nice paintings and my family and friends love them. I just finished the chicken and rooster as well and put them nicely together on one sheet of paper and it’s looking really great. Thanks and regards down under! From Dutch Marianne

Hi! I was wondering if you could do a tutorial of a colorful eagle?

[@CherryBlossomHill]

Do you have a recommendation for how to transfer an image from a reference photo to watercolor paper? I’ve seen all the various methods, hoping to find a projector if you know of a good one for artists.

[@bovice1766]

The best way is a lightbox or projector. Other options would be grid method

[@amydonner5469]

A sunny window can serve as a light box, or you can use graphite paper.

[@ruffeyx]

I use ipad at max brightness, layer wcolor paper on the screen, and trace it. Of course limitation is the size of the iPad screen

[@brianohehir9515]

Try looking up Camera lucida…. Amazing optical device for capturing images on drawing media.

[@kate4986]

Hi Louise, I absolutely adore everything you do here on your channel. I just wanted to ask if your skillshare videos are on your patreon also? I'm starting a free month of Skillshare and I don't think I'll finish your Chrisanthneum before my membership expires... and I'd rather be a patron of yours anyway 🙃

[@LouiseDeMasi]

Hi Kate. Thank you very much. No the tutorials are different on each platform. I have patrons who are also on Skillshare so I like to keep the tutorials different. The tutorials on Skillshare are only on Skillshare. Sorry to disappoint you. You can purchase it on my Teachable site if you like: louise-de-masi.teachable.com/courses

[@kate4986]

@@LouiseDeMasi Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question. I thought this may be the case so I've thrown the crysanthnum to the wind and joined your patreon. Looking forward to what comes next! 💛

[@shivamoon6797]

Hi dear Louis,l subscribed for skill share free trial ,but l am afraid they charge me ,how can l conceal it? Thank you so much.
