Thank you for this wonderful demonstration... Must say I watched till the end and you surprised me there.... I think you are just hilarious... Thanks for the great laughs 😂😂
Thank you! 💕
Great video! Also glad to see someone else who can't talk when they need to. Lol
This will be a challenge, but I’m confident you will calmly lead us through it. He’s gorgeous.
This video is like experimental laboratory....where colours are created for magic ☀️✨✨✨
Love the tip of drying the paint so it will not spread too much - Brilliant !
I'm so glad you did this Kingfisher....he's delightful. I look forward to you posting this on Patreon.
Thanks very much Judy.
Stunning!! 💙🐦💙
Absolutely stunning!
Thank you for demonstrating all of those techniques. Awesome!
Love the channel, love the instruction. I have incorporated some of these techniques into my own work. Love the effects.
Oh... and the bloopers section at the end is hilarious. You do it with such a deadpan irritated expression that I have to admit, makes me laugh.
Keep up the excellent videos.
AWESOME !!! THANK YOU SO MUCH LOUISE !
Oh la laaaa ! Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous ! exquisite painting and perfect technique. Thank you.
Mesmerizing to watch. Thanks for sharing!
I was thrilled when I saw you were painting a kingfisher since that is something I have wanted to attempt this year! Thanks for explaining everything so well and showing close-up views.
Absolutely beautiful!
You are simply delightful to watch!! Thank you for your artistry and for keeping it real.
Just love that calmness when you detailed the painting 🥰
Lovely video! It's very nice to see all these techniques combined in one painting. Thank you!
Love it!
Really like this lady. She is a very patient instructor and beautiful artist.
Another fine demonstration, with equally fine humour, keep it up
Beautiful painting and beautifully clear instructions and explanations . Thank you for all your helpful hints and the inspiration you give me.
Beautiful painting I loved it watching thanks
I totally enjoy watching your tutorial, love the techniques
I'm glad. Thank you!
I just came across you today and want to say thank you so much for your really clear explanations and close ups so we can see what you're doing. The kingfisher is just beautiful!
You are so talented! Love your style. Thanks for sharing
Oh Louise I am so looking forward to trying this one, thank you so much.
Thanks Annie.
I adore your style of painting.
And also have to watch your outtakes, your so funny 🤣 x
Excellent tuition as always. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Louise.
Gorgeous painting of a Kingfisher. I love the way you paint a splash of color behind the subject leaving the rest of the background white. I've tried it on some of my paintings and it looks great! It keeps the focus on the subject and I don't need to paint a complicated background.
I love the beautiful simplicity of this painting. And I love the details on the head and how you suggested the feathers.
Thank you very much Rositsa.
Queen
Beautiful.
Thank you Louise! I am a big fan of your use of only a few colours and mixing from those - I despair when I see people listing 'umpteen' colours for one tiny painting! Thanks for all your hard work for us.
Looks awesome! Thanks for the video.
A pleasure. Thank you!
Unbelievable glow with aliveness of this masterpiece
Beautiful
Your kingfisher is beautiful Louise! I love all your techniques and tips you so unselfishly provide!! As is always, you are an inspiration!!

Hi Louise, very clear tutorial and lovely rendering. Happy to subscribe! :)) - Beatrice
Hello fellow Aussie. I have never tried watercolour before but you have inspired me to give it a go. I absolutely love your videos and your outtakes make me giggle. A big Thank You :-)
Thanks so much Diana. 😊
Beautiful painting Louise! We have the Belted Kingfisher in our area.
Thanks Bruce. They are sweet little birds. I painted a Belted Kingfisher a few years ago.
I too have a truly deep love of birds - I am so happy your beautiful energy & breath taking bird painting video simply appeared today...Bless you Beautiful Soul and thank you for sharing your beautiful art with us xx
🌹
Another beautiful painting! I don't see a listing of the type of brush you are using for this work. It has such a nice fat barrel and a fine tip. Could you mention the name of this brush? Thank you so much.
Louise, I love u r technic. Its wonderful .Can u show landscape painting in up coming section plz...
Thank you! I'm not a landscape painter I'm sorry. It's not something I've tried before.
@@LouiseDeMasi Thank you, no problem
I am very much enjoying your videos and your detailed explanations. I have heard you talk about your large mixing tray that you had made somewhere but can't find the reference anymore. Can you tell me where to get it?
What do you think of Daniel Smith paints?
It would be great to see your reference photo while you paint.
I put them on screen for my patrons in the full length version.
Oo ooo ooo love the straw thing for the background! I really need to start trying the large brush washes over the subject BEFORE I paint... if not following a tutorial I mean. Background=nemesis for me and I need to truly absorb yours. It would make life much more simple. 🤣🤣 will play with it today before getting back to a commission. Thanks for the inspiration as always. One question, is this the kingfisher image shared by one of our Facebook members? Her name escapes me, but last summer she posted an amazing bunch of images taken by her husband. I gave the kingfisher a try, but felt it was too tight. Going to try your version. And the limited palette. Phthalo turquoise and burnt sienna... fabulous idea.
Thank you Alison. Don't put pressure on yourself to paint backgrounds if you're not ready. It took me a long time to build up the courage. The image is by Hans Veth from Unsplash website. 💕
@@LouiseDeMasi thank you. My journey continues,,, love this medium...
I just found you and I love your channel! Thank you so much for these tutorials I'm learning so much! Can I ask what type of brushes you use, they look wonderful! Thank you
Thank you! I use Da Vinci Maestro brushes series 35.
@@LouiseDeMasi Thanks so much lovely :)
Love watching you paint and your narration. I wonder if you would tell me what round brush you are using here?
Thank you! A Da Vinci Maestro series 35.
@@LouiseDeMasi Thank you for making these awesome videos. I'm considering purchasing a tutorial to try and paint one of your birds on your site. (Love that galah)
What size of brush are you using here if I may ask?
Can I ask where you got the tray to mix the paint?
Love this painting. Do you have a line drawing available?
Thanks Barbara. It will be available on Patreon when I release the full length tutorial.
Looking forward to it!
Will this also be on patreon Louise? It’s beautiful
Thank you Elizabeth. Yes it will. I haven't started working on it yet because I'm trying to get others finished first. Late June or July it should be ready.
What do you use to draw the picture on the paper? Thanks
Sometimes I'll use saral paper (transfer paper) and other times I'll scribble graphite all over the back of my line drawing and I'll trace it on with that. I prefer not to draw directly onto the watercolour paper to avoid erasing too much.
I looked for this project on Patreon. Do you plan to include it on Patreon? Have you ever done a grey cockatiel?
Yes - when I get it done. I have quite a few to post before it so it won't be until July I'd say.
Question: when looking through Pinterest, some of the exotic birds have colours that are hard to believe . I know Australia has many species types different from other countries. Do you think many of these photos are photo shopped ?
Would like to enroll in your classes, could you please share who I can do that? Thanks
Here you go. All the information is here. www.louisedemasi.com/online-classes
Loose you mention Skillshare in this demonstration, are you still doing your teaching on Patreon ?
Yes I am! Thanks Annie.
I have noticed you aren't using your lazy suzan palette recently. Is it because your changing how you use watercolour? Im struggling with finding the best palette for me.
I still use it. I find it too large to film with though especially when I use a ceramic plate to do my mixing on. The bedroom that I paint isn't large enough for me to film in so finally, after 20 years of waiting, I'm in the process of getting a studio built in the garden. Can't wait!
@@LouiseDeMasi That does sound exciting!! Thank you for your time and replying.
I do soft watercolor birds but then something tells me to make them more realistic and i end up messing them up!
Hi Louise. I'm not sure how long you follow the comments for any particular video. I just watched you video on how to stretch watercolour paper. I found a site that stocks your Arches 1080 gsm paper. I've copied and pasted my comment from the other video here:
Jerry's artarama has both the Arches 400 lb the Arches 500 lb watercolour paper (dimensions 22 x 30 Inches). A 25 pack of the 400 lb (which I think is the 1080gsm you were talking about) is USD 531.75 (approx AUD 687) and shipping is USD 7.50 (I think that is by sea, but hey it's cheap). Works out to about AUD 28 per sheet. www.jerrysartarama.com/arches-100-rag-watercolor-paper-natural-white
