Louise, you have done the Agapanthus proud. Its lovely! They are flowering here too though not as a weed but as an indigenous lily. There are so many lovely, unique indigenous plants in South Africa, I would love to see you paint more of them!
Weeds, I wish agapanthus grew like weeds in my SW Florida yard! The first one I planted died in short order. Louise I do believe this is the first of your classes I am actually going to attempt. I am a fairly new patreon student though I have been enjoying your youTube videos for several months now.
You got me started on this journey of painting watercolour flowers. I am probably grade 2 but am determined to reach grade 10.....sometime!
That's awesome! Keep at it Gwen. 💕
Dear Louise, you are such a very talented artist, I can watch you paint for hours! What a wonderful privilege it is to see you doing your magic - thank you for sharing!
I am so thrilled that I found your channel. Your work and explanations are so spot on and especially helpful to beginners such as I.
my god, no one paints flowers like you. just amazing x
It's hard to believe that these lovely flowers are weeds. Some of the most common flowers are the loveliest, Queen Anne's lace is one of my favorites. You've done a gorgeous job of this painting!
Dear Louise it is a pleasure to watch your very didactic and informative videos, one can appreciate that they are done with knowledge , experience and love for the viewers. Thank you so much very enjoyable videos and I had learn a lot from you . Pat from Toronto Canada, originally from Buenos Aires , Argentina. ❤🎉❤.
You're very welcome! Thank you so much Patricia. 🥰
Louise! This is exquisite - the colours alone are so beautiful: I do hope that you do a tutorial for us when you have time next year! For anyone not a Patreon of Louise then I urge you to join, Louise is so very generous with her sharing of her talent and takes so much time to get it all perfect for us - amazing! Just have to say Louise - if you ever give up painting - there is a career in comedy waiting for you - love the ends of your videos!! Keep well.
You're a sweetheart. Thank you very much Nettie. 😘
Thank you so much for sharing your skills and thank you for giving me a giggle at your bloopers at the end. I remember when I had my UA-cam Channel making the same sort of mistakes. 😀
Thank you, Louise. I would not have thought the partial blooms could look so beautiful.
Thanks Cindy. I only noticed how pretty they were the other day (for the first time) and we've had them here for 20 years. 😅💕
Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Thank you for sharing! Our agapanthus are just blooming here in Southern California. I had not known that they are considered a weed... such a beautiful weed. I love your gentle way of explaining and painting. Very meditative to watch.
I love this demo... thank you. I love your story of the “weeds”. When we moved to our home 10 years ago I had an opposite experience.... I was told a plant with lovely white flowers was a weed and would take over our garden.... so many hours later of removing the plants and roots, I visited a green house to replace the plants.... and what do I see.... the plants I just removed!
I'm always amazed at your skill and how much you want to share with us your passion for watercolor! You create beauty on paper that matches your own, both inside and out ❤️ thank you for your generosity and for the belly laugh at your out takes 🤣✋🤚😂🙏
Watercolor was my favorite subject in college, but I dropped my art degree and did something else (math hahaha! Seriously.) Now that my kids are grown I’ve come back to watercolor and your tutorials have even taken it up a notch. Your technique is different than I learned in college, but as I always told my kids you can learn different things from different coaches. I watch at least one of your videos a week.
I have to add that I love your confidence in showing us the bloopers at the end. I can totally identify and it makes you even more lovable. I’d love to have coffee (or tea) with you some day!
Absolutely stunning painting, thank you for sharing. Love your bloopers too, so funny.
Wonderful so happy to have found your video love it and so kind to share your techniques xxx
Thank you Marianne.
Gorgeous painting and great video. We have lots of these around the lake where we walk. They don't grow as weeds but flowers. But weeds are flowers too.
Thank you Renee. I love them even though they can be a bit invasive.💜
Beautiful painting, can't wait to see you paint a full flowerhead.
Thanks Dominic.
You do beautiful paintings. I like the way you teach explaining all the details. Thanks!!!
Your painting is always so incredible - each detail worthy of reaching out to touch it! Thank you, always (!) am in awe ofyour art!
Thank you so much Deanna. 💕
Beautiful composition. I love the very limited color choice and the Antwerp blue on sap green is lovely.
How clearly n easily you teach that is amazing n adorable . love this flower n with your guidance I gifted sooooooo many paintings to my lovely friends.Hearty thanks for your teaching.
Wonderful. Thank you Nisha.
Beautiful
Gorgeous 👍
Beautiful flowers growing in your garden💐🌸. I love these flowers and the colours are beautiful and so softly looking. Thank you for the inspiration💫💞🙏
Btw, love your work, your incredibly lovely home(and landscape with it’s critters!), and the way that you teach. I.e.you’re voice, technique, etc. You’re quite gifted, Louise! I love your work. 🥰I am an artist, and my favorite medium/technique is pen and ink, most specifically stippling………however, I have always wanted to add a pop of color! I love the vibrant, vivid colors that you can achieve with watercolor….which is also probably why I am drawn to nature…I have had two(1/2) careers! I was an illustrator/draftsman for The US Navy, then as a civilian, I worked in veterinary med. I love all things that my Father created! All animals, especially birds…and also flowers. I would love to do a series of birds, wildlife, sea life, and plants! Of course my desire outweighs my ability, that’s for sure! I am only 58, but I have a rare form of kidney disease that I have had for 25 years, and I also now have heart disease. I had a pacemaker implanted last December. Unfortunately my ideas for pieces, and my physical ability to complete them doesn’t seem to match up!🤣 I would love to take some of your classes, and am just trying to ascertain which is the best way to go about it. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks so much Louise!
P.S. thanks again for sharing your beautiful country with us! God bless you and your family!
Hi Danita, I'm sorry to read about your health conditions. I hope you are able to manage them well. I have written about the difference between the two platforms on my website here; www.louisedemasi.com/online-classes - Have a read and see which platform seems a better fit for you and let me know if you have any more questions. Thank you! 💕
Your painting technique is really great. But I always wait for the last part of your vdos which are really cute.
Amazing place Australia, Kola's, Giant spiders and of course Kangaroos. Today I learned their plants explode with a boom into bloom! ;) As always Louise, both informative and entertaining.
Thanks Don. We love our flower booms over here. The kangaroos love them too! I often see them peeking through the booms at me and then I accidentally startle them and they thunder away.
@@LouiseDeMasi :)
@@LouiseDeMasi How wonderful - to see a kangaroo peeking at you!
Louise, just love your tutorials! I always get a lot of information and you have a calming effect.
I hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄
Thank you very much Donna. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours too!
Boom! Louise! Thanks heaps-this was a good pause, back-up, and assess the situation scenario.
Lol- thanks Nancy.
Very very beautiful indeed. Thank you.
Many thanks Utsha.
I don’t many flowers but you made me want to now :)
It's so beautiful what you've painted here. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful artwork.
Wonderful painting Louise! 😊
Thank you Sarah. 💜
Thank you so much Louise for sharing your skills and your generosity - love your paintings - you give a lot of inspiration.
Oh Louise! You’re the very best. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge and skill. ❤️
Louise, your tutorials are a real inspiration for me, thank you for sharing your beautiful art! I really hope you decide to do a full the for this flower. The color combination is so delicate and lively. I'm so jealous that you are enjoying a beautiful summer day and I am in the middle of winter! I live in Florida, so it's not a horrible winter but it's not summer either. Can't wait for you next tutorial to air. Enjoy the holidays.
Thank you, Louise. I'm in the process of trying ALL your classes!
Lovely as always and so informative. Love the out-takes. 😂
So glad! Thanks Pamela.
Painting some Foxgloves at moment love your water blooms just struggle to get depth in my paintings .Will sign up for your classes as your UA-cam clips have been a huge help this year .
PS: you are delightfully funny!
your retakes - oh my!
Lol- thank you. 🥴💚
the outtakes are hilarious!
Love this, I just tried painting one but got lost. This was very helpful.
This tutorial was so inspiring, Thank you. The way that you managed the disappearing edge was superb. I am reaching for my brushes. Keep safe.
Beautiful colours! You make it look so easy. It is a p[erasure to watch the process.
Merci toujours aussi beau
It’s extremely gorgeous,
Thank you!
I really want a full tutorial of this one. Its beautiful 😍 ❤
So funny to hear you say Agapanthus is a weed in Aus. In Canada Goldenrod is a weed, but I know that the British plant it in their perennial beds. Thanks for the clear instruction, Louise.
Magnifique!
Thank you!
Video super intéressante de réalité .Merci 👍👍☺
Beautiful watercolor painting. connected to your channel.
Thank you very much Thereza. 😀
Spray it again Louise! 😁
Louise, are watercolors in tubes more brilliant than in pans? Lovely painting and I learned a lot...thank you!
I'm so behind on your videos. I'm terrible, but trying to get ready for a move. Do you still like and use your round palette from robax? I was thinking of getting one after the move when I'll have my own room to paint in. I can't wait for that part, it's all the work leading up to it that's the problem. lol I love your paintings and I'll see you on Patreon after the move when I have time to paint again.
I love the colors in this, Louise, and would be delighted to see a full tutorial on it eventually - another addition to your long list, I know, but it's a unique perspective of agapanthus! Also chuckled at your bloopers as always, thanks for the fun!
Not sure how I missed this one! I think it was when I was in hospital! Anywho, my question is this. Do I have to use Skillshare to take your classes, or do I get the full class on Patreon?
Hi Danita, I hope you are well again now. I have full classes on both Skillshare and Patreon but this particular painting I have not made into a full tutorial. I didn't film all of it because I decided to put it only on UA-cam.
Weed?? I never knew this. Any way I find them beautiful and I love your painting of them.
Thanks Karen. Yes I was reading about them. They are classed as a weed because they escape into bushland and also onto pasture areas where the roots and leaves are poisonous to livestock. I've got them popping up all over the place in areas of the garden where we didn't plant them.
@@LouiseDeMasi I will be mindful of this as I like to be conscious of the natural environment. The majority of my art is focused on our natural flora and fauna, including our bugs.....love our weeds too though 😀
👌👌👌😊
💐💐💐
is there a substitute blue color for antwerp blue that would go with these colors?
Hi Louise! What type of graphite do you use for transferring the flower? I'm always afraid of marking the paper 🤔
I use an HB graphite pencil. It's nearly always quite clean. There's not much I have to erase.
😍
Where can u find this sketch ??
I will paint another next year- either this painting or a full bloom instead and the tutorial and line drawing will be available for my patrons on Patreon.
@@LouiseDeMasi you're killing me 🤣😭😭😭😭 i feel like a toddler throwing a tantrum lol. "I want it now !!"
I can't wait !!! Its SOOOO BEAUTIFUL!!
I went on patreon last night and couldn't find it so came back here 🤪
@@juupiissocool lol 😆....sorry. I didn't film all this one. I wasn't sure if it was going to turn out so I treated it as a study. I'll have another look at it after Christmas and as I said, I'll either paint this one again or I'll do a full bloom. 🤗❤️
Beautiful
Thank you Kelly.
