This is a gorgeously rich beta fish painting. Simply love your wort, especially the out takes. Thank you for your delightful approach to teaching art. Xxxx
She scares me when she says "practice paintings", they look awesome! :~) It's really cool to see the difference between te two paintings and the effects of the choices that you have made.
Thank you so much for including the outtakes! I love your tutorials, I always feel like I learn so much, but seeing your personality shine though the outtakes is an even greater joy.
This fish was beyond gorgeous, the colors you pic were right on. Thanks for sharing, and all the laughter from the outtakes is just what I needed. Thank you
You're such a card Louise. Always look forward to your end of video bloopers. Dont know how you find time to enrol in Skillshare classes as well as all you do in your day. I find things like pinterest consuming enough I had to stop watching. Love your fish they are so bright and beautiful thankyou for the tutorial. cheers from the west.
I have to try this. When I get back to work, I’m gonna sign up as a Patron. My 14 year old granddaughter loves fish, she has a fish tank in her room and orange is her favourite colour. Can’t be more perfect!
First, love your watercolor paintings lovely. And your outtakes are so fun, such a lovely thing to see the behind-the-scenes. Making videos is truly a process and good editing! Bless you. ;-)
I’ve learnt so much from you here and on skill share, just wanted to say thank you. Always a pleasure spending time with you. You’ve taught me to loosen up and who doesn’t love that.
A beautiful set of betta paintings and an amazing set of bloopers. 120 sheet block of paper, eh? Who needs a gym membership after hauling that around! I appreciate the much needed laughs!
Thanks very much for the video and for the info. on paper. I have a suggestion for a topic - what to do when too much external sizing is put on paper making it tough to paint on. You are an amazing teacher.
Louise, I just found your channel a few days ago. And I love it. Your work is extraordinary and your teaching is fabulous. Thank you, so much for your kindness in sharing.
How lovely...this fish has sooo much movement, and the colors are so refreshing! I am reading Quiller's Color Choices, as you previously recommended, and am becoming enlightened. Now just practice, practice, practice. I continue to learn so much from your description of the process between your studies and finished pieces. Thank you for your instructive videos.
I’m a beginner and use the Baohong academy 100% cotton paper in a block. I can’t find the grade you are showing but this paper is so much better than anything else in it’s price range. Leyton too offer 100% cotton paper in a block which is pretty good. They take quite some punishment😂
Wow! You have sharpened your skills greatly! I have to say probably one of my favorites! Love 💕 the bold colors but still soft .. I really enjoy learning from channel! Keep up awesome work😊❤️💕
I’ve been doing a lot of Procreate tutorials, but what I really want to do is watercolor. I’ve done some online courses, and I keep coming back to you. I think I’m pretty much done with learning Procreate, so it’s time to switch! I’m just waiting for the beginning of the month.
I use the Masters Choice rough press and it's absolutely gorgeous. It feels hard sized to me, much like Arches, and the color looks exceptionally brilliant. I might just try the hot pressed!: Louise your beta looks incredible. I'd love to see a line drawing for this one.
I think the texture probably will lend itself better to watercolor pencil drawings. I think the Arches creates additional texture I’m not looking for. I’m using good pencils I believe, so we’ll see if the paper’s responsible.
I have just found your channel and I’m so glad I did. I am very new to watercolour and found it confusing to work with. I work primarily with pastels and coloured pencils. Your tutorials were extremely helpful and informative, and easy to follow, thank you Louise.
I was watching while eating breakfast (cereal with banana), and when you said in the out-takes, “120 sheets of cold-pressed…” and zoomed in on 20, I almost spit milk everywhere.
Oh Louise that has to be one of your best!!! The colours are gorgeous. You've really lost control !!!🤭🤭🤭 question...I cant get my colours to 'bleed' like you do...does the quality of the paper make a difference? Eg does it hold more water so the paint flows freely? Excellent thankyou🥰 PS I wonder how many people turn off before the end or as soon as the video is finished and miss all of the fun bloopers at the end..love them!!!
I use CP Baohong (artist grade) and the experiences of using it are quite the same as like you said above, i love how it behaves and suits my painting style well. Just the texture is quite unique and obvious (i rate it as rough) compared to other cold pressed papers. Also it is cheaper, its a huge win. So far, personally, i have better experiences using Baohong rather than Arches. I personally feel that Arches is overrated. But we all have different painting styles and needs. Cheers!
I'm with you! I like Arches enough and I have a ton of it so I'll continue to use it but when I run out, I imagine that'll be it. Most of my paintings are on rough press- Saunders Waterford and Bao Hong Masters Choice. For finer detailed work I'll use Fabriano, Stonehenge or Arches CP and Ill use Arches HP, Bao Hong HP and Fabriano soft press for those occasional times Im doing botanical painting, using gouache or when I need a surface for calligraphy , cartouche, birth announcements etc. I'm glad to see people mention this paper. When I was researching it I found so little.
Wonderful as always Louise! I was gifted a block of the Master's Choice paper from Parkers last year and was really impressed with the results as well!
Beautiful painting! I looked to see where you purchased the watercolor paper. I have some Arches, but I would like to try this other that you have mentioned, especially if I can save some money while practicing. Thank you again for a great video. You always get me inspired to try a different technique.
Love your videos. Your colors are very vibrant and beautiful! You have absolutely the best and funniest outakes at the end of your videos. Do you teach absolute beginners in watercolor on Patreon?
Wonderful painting. I'm still struggeling so hard with watercolor and am fighting so hard with not giving up. I just hope that one day I will be able to paint like that.
Thanks Dom. It's not an easy medium to use. Once you begin to understand it - it's a lot of fun. I doubt I'll ever truly master it. I painted in acrylic paint for ten years and grew tired of it. I switched to watercolour and I'm still excited about it after using it for 11 years.
Louise, you have touched so many lives with your gracious sharing of your creativity, knowledge and talent. The area in which you (and many other great artists) excel is CREATIVE interpretation of a subject. This is where I struggle the most - going past the literal. Like so much in life, art is a series of decision making. In a workshop I took with the late watercolorist Diane Maxey, she often said, "You paint with your brain". You may have done this and I missed it, but could you please address your thoughts on the cyan/magenta/yellow color triad that is oft cited as a substitute for blue/red/yellow. I first read about it in a 2012 art book, but it was not widely discussed until recently.
I know this is a year old so you may not see it. I don’t like Arches paper. My favorite Fabriano Artistico cold press extra white. I love the white through the paint and the paper lifts paint easily. Beautiful paper.
The outtakes have quickly becoming something I look forward to on your videos. This time I unfortunately I was eating my breakfast while viewing. One of my rescued cats, "Miss Jingles", was sitting on the arm of the chair, hoping there would be some goats milk left in the bowl I could pour into her bowl. I had just taken a mouthful of Coco Pops when You made me snort laugh, choke and spray her with the said combination from my nose and mouth ! I loved the video and learned a lot as usual. My cat 🐈 however, hates you.
Love your work and so nice to see the background effects. Would you please provide me with a link to where you purchased the A3 Master's Choice paper from? Also good to see that you are so much better now and we can hear you clearly again, great work as always ❤🌹🐕
Good morning from the U.S., Louise. As a beginner, I thoroughly enjoy your tutorials on You Tube. After practicing for a while with inexpensive paints, I would like to purchase one really good set of paints. I can't buy them all to try, so do you have a favorite brand, ?
Ok that painting so beautiful. Practice painting just as amazing. My only concern about the practice paper is not being confident in the product. How will it stand up? Will it yellow? Will the colors fade? Only time will tell. No matter. You are so incredibly talented and your subjects are fun.

She scares me when she says "practice paintings", they look awesome! :~)
It's really cool to see the difference between te two paintings and the effects of the choices that you have made.
That fish piece is just gorgeous!
love the bloopers
What a stunning example of your talent. Thank you for sharing, Louise!
Thank you so much for including the outtakes! I love your tutorials, I always feel like I learn so much, but seeing your personality shine though the outtakes is an even greater joy.
I love the bright vivid colors of your fish, and the luminous transparency you achieved! So lovely!
This fish was beyond gorgeous, the colors you pic were right on. Thanks for sharing, and all the laughter from the outtakes is just what I needed. Thank you
You are extremely talented both as an artist and as a teacher. Thank you

Love your lessons. Especially the out takes. Bless you, bless you, bless you!
Thanks so much Christine.
I have to try this. When I get back to work, I’m gonna sign up as a Patron. My 14 year old granddaughter loves fish, she has a fish tank in her room and orange is her favourite colour. Can’t be more perfect!
You really made that fish come alive. I ❤️ love, love the eye ball! I wish I could learn that.
You paint so beautifully that I sigh in envy. Lovely painting.
God to see you tunny lady, greetings from Chile.
Your painting is beautiful. I really enjoyed your humorous bloopers. Thank you for sharing.

Another stunning painting. Good to know of alternative papers to Arches.
Thanks Mary.

Awesome painting, Louise! It's such a joy to watch your videos!
Love the painting 😍 we have that paper in the Netherlands, but it’s the same price as Arches
bless you
so beautiful and relaxing to watch
I just love your videos, you are amazing!
Everything about you and what you do!
Great tutorial. Thank you so much, Louise!
Exquisite, to say the least. Thank-you!

This is one of my faves from you. Love the bold colours and the wonderful sense of fun.
Thank you Monique. It was fun to paint.
This painting is beautiful.
Love this video !
Just found you on you tube and love your paintings ! Thanks so much. P.s your out takes are hilarious too :)
Excelente, gracias ❤
So beautiful love it
Another fantastic lesson on another awesome topic. Thank you, Louise!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you JT.

I love Baohong!! Since trying it several months ago I stopped buying Arches. High quality and a great price!!!

absolutely stunning! i still can't paint (or draw) to save my life, but i do so enjoy watching your videos. and your outtakes are charming as always.
At always, lovely video and painting. Helpful tips and hints with the technique described and implemented. Wonderful, you area amazing

Same here. I used to paint on Arches. I tried Baohong a few months ago and loved it so much that I stopped purchasing Arches.

I'm glad to see people mention this paper. When I was researching it I found so little.
Where did you purchase theCP Baohong paper?
Wonderful, beautiful and thank you!
Your practice painting is as beautiful as your final!! Where did you find your practice paper? I wouldn’t mind trying it. Thanks.
Thank you for the paper review. I’m looking for a good practice paper, I will give the Baohong a go
Bloopers yeh!
Wonderful as always Louise! I was gifted a block of the Master's Choice paper from Parkers last year and was really impressed with the results as well!

Hi mam your paintings are amazing. Can suggest which watercolor are best please because my water colour are not good like yours mam. Thanku
Great tutorial! I hope you make a video of in depth review on Baohong watercolor paper. Side by side comparison with Arches paper would be nice.
Great suggestion. Thank you Adrian.
Your tips are wonderful and your fish is breathtaking. Thank you!Louise, could I ask you what series of Davinci brushes you recommend?
Louise, what brushes do you use? 😊🌷🇧🇷
How do you like your Robax palette now that you've had it a while?
The colours are superb. I’d love to give this paper a test drive. I’m in Australia, where can i get it…thanks
Thank you Seval. I got mine from Parker's Fine Art Supplies in Sydney.
Is it better than the arches?
Love your work and so nice to see the background effects. Would you please provide me with a link to where you purchased the A3 Master's Choice paper from? Also good to see that you are so much better now and we can hear you clearly again, great work as always ❤🌹🐕

Do you spray water to prolong the drying time?
