    Thousands of hours watching wc videos tells me that Louise is probably the best teacher. Straightforward explanations with first rate camera work. Many thanks.

      Yes and dedicated hours of editing the content to piece together all the visual information that enhances her explanations and makes it so easy for us to understand exactly what she's talking about! 😊

    I think you’re the best watercolor channel on UA-cam. I think you explain the behaviors of the medium the best. You don’t just show how to do something. You explain the WHY too. And thoroughly show visuals that show each step of what you’re explaining.

  • @acatinthecradle

    I always thought making blooms was a bad thing....now I know different! Thank you so much for explaining this and the process for intentionally making blooms. Tremendously helpful! ❤

    @ethnyjane3248 4 роки тому +11

    Oh my goodness, I don't know why I've not discovered you before - I think I've just watched 5 of your videos in a row and you explain things better than I've ever heard them explained before! And your examples are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your understanding and love of the beautiful art of watercolour ♡

  • @stephaniemitchell8509
    @stephaniemitchell8509 4 роки тому +44

    I really love blooms, but most artists will tell you to avoid them, not show you how to make them! They really do add interest, texture, and even subtle shading. Personally, I think they're one of the most beautiful aspects of watercolors. If I wanted flat colors, I'd have chosen to learn oil or acrylics, after all. (:

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  4 роки тому +7

    As a young school art class student I failed terribly wc with holes in my paper. I had no direction, disappointment, I stuck to acrylic which I love. I am determined to give it a new start, 35 years later, I’ve learned so much in just a few if your videos. You are amazing. I’m painting a simple Koi, I am actually doing okay. Glad I found you!

    Such an interesting effect. It really does add interest but doesn’t distract from the focal image. The sea turtle is a really fine piece! The shell is wonderfully realistic. The blooms in the watery background seem to add motion. Can’t wait to experiment a bit!

After watching this very informative video of how to create or stop blooms & how they are made I can use this as a technique for my paintings. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information in this video. I am really enjoying your style of painting & teaching.

Thanks for taking the time to explain its much appreciated. 🤗🥰
