    Louise, this watercolor is so gorgeous! I love the colors in this and this is one of the reasons I love watercolor art so much! I love what you did with the brick, too. The ink you used with the spray bottle created beautiful textures and made the brick work look quite authentic. The blooms on the door and ground were so pretty and effective. It’s all just so masterfully done. Congratulations on your piece and on how well you taught us about texture! Thank you once again for such amazing art that touches my soul in such a deep and beautiful way! You and Dom are so cute ! It’s wonderful that he helps with your work! It’s obvious how much you love each other. Blessings. Have a great weekend!♥️🌹👏🏻

    Then I saw the door and did a double take... I've walked past that door a few times. It's at Knaresborough Castle, North Yorkshire.

I don't have the time to make videos anymore, so I am grateful to excellent teachers like you. Your videos help me to help my young high schoolers build their skills in watercolor. Thanks & many blessings!

    You two are darling! This is one of my favorite tutorials from you Louise! Really well done, and great ideas. I am moving into more mixed-media as well, and straying a bit from being a purist in my watercolors. I've been adding inks, sometimes acrylic inks, to my watercolors with smashing results. I have to tell you, I don't mind tutorials with more mixed media additions to your watercolors! Thanks!

    Hello Louise,
    I like this painting a lot!
    I'm very partial to ancient doors and stone work!!!
    - After looking at the painting, I thought, "Oh... I'm painting that❗"
    - HOWEVER.... I had no idea of the amount of work you put into that beautiful structure. (That is, until I watched it.)
    Most definitely beyond my capabilities. 😏 haha 😊
    ~~~
    INCREDIBLE PAINTING❗
