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

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

Amazing frog
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 😂🎉😍
There truly is something about watching an artist that is mesmerizing.
LOL... You need to do the outtakes more often! LOVED it and I just finished painting the FFRRROG and posted in on the Facebook page. Thank you for great tutorials.
Il love frogs. A painting of a frog will be my next painting.
Let it paint itself! I need to remember that!
You are a wonderful teacher! Thank you for showing your technique! It is lovely and I learned something new!
Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher!
OMG I love your bloopers. Video is very informative. Bloopers are very entertaining. Well rounded video lol Thanks
I love your technique, and your way of mixing colours. And your out-takes are wonderful! They reassure me that there may be hope for us mortals!

Hi Barbara
Unquestionably the best watercolor tutorials on You Tube ! Simply brilliant !
There truly is something about watching an artist that is mesmerizing.. Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher!.
Wow! I have never used this technique! I am definitely gonna try it! Thank you for demonstrating. Love your art work💕
First time watching your videos and the best part? Your outtakes! 😂
I'm so glad that the algorithm put this Video in my recommendations. I've learned a lot with this Video and your Artworks are stunning! 😊
You and your works are such a joy to watch. Thank you for allowing us into your painting room and learn from you!
love love love the bloopers at the end....you make me smile lol
You’re hilarious! I saw this video to be 3 years old…how did I miss this?!?
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! :)
Lovely Frog! Awesome Technique. 🐸💜
I’ve just completed 30 direct watercolors in 30 days, and I wish I had seen this before I started! 😂 Thank you!
This really helped me step up my watercolor. I’m still a beginner but I definitely noticed a huge increase in realism when using charging. Thank you!!!
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🙃
That's a beautiful little frog and, as always, you give such clear instructions on how you do what you do. And, of course, you're my favorite person to be flipped off by.
“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. ❤
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
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 👍

I So love it when you show us your errors in the commentary. It always makes me smile!
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!!!

Thank you Louise
Thank you, Louise! Very helpful. If I could JUST learn to leave it be instead of trying to impose my will on the paint!
Thank you for all the wonderful tips and I LOVED the outtakes at the end. They are adorable!
Loved watching your video and the bloopers, in the end, reminded me so much of my stumblings that I feel right at home with you. You are just too cute!!!
Thank you Louise you are a great teacher and artist :)
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😂❤
FANTASTIC ! I CAN DO IT !!!
