Thank you so much for this tutorial! Although I don't think I'm interested in painting a lion right now, I definitely appreciated the validation of using your studies a lot when painting so that you don't get bogged down in the details. I find when I get stuck in the details, I fuss around with my paint far more than I should. Thanks again for the fantastic vido, Louise!
I loved trying your lion and took heed of your tips today. Sketched him, made a study learnt loads. When my financial situation improves I look forward to joining as a patreon because even this video helped my self confidence so much Thankyou.
Louise, you bring so much joy to my heart. I do paint myself as an armature, and your work is exactly how I would’ve to see mine: light, clean, and tastefully colored. Thank you so much. You also such a pretty Lady.
This is a wonderful painting Louise! Thank you for sharing your techniques with us. By the way, your hair looks fantastic! I love that soft full curly look. Very pretty. It looks great now, but I love this style on you. Probably a lot more work tho.
The lion looks majestic! I liked how you got most of the painting done with the wet on wet technique and avoided painting every detail on the lion from the reference.
I love the way you blended the soft and hard and I rewatch you to understand your beautiful talented painting with a difficult medium I’m use to oil but wanted to learn water and thank you for your information.
Louise is such a fabulous teacher. I used to do oils as well. But I had an injury to my dominant hand and I haven't tried any painting for 20+ years. Louise has inspired me to paint and to learn watercolor. She makes it fun and comprehensible.
Dear Louise, I love your art! You paint the subjects I enjoy and have a marvelous style. Thank you for sharing your talent and awesome personality. Ha, ha. Donna Stout
He is absolutely stunning. You are my favorite instructor hands down! I love every one of your videos and have learned so much from your clear and entertaining instruction. Thank you Louise 😊.
Wonderful painting. “It looked so much like a lion.” I also enjoy your out takes!! You inspire me and always make me laugh at the end! Thank you for sharing!☺️
Hi Louise, As a primarily oil painter, I have struggled with edges using watercolor. You are GREAT at showing how to handle that, and I've learned the most about that watching you paint! Also, thanks for corresponding with me when I've had a question. Thanks, Lesley Paul, Boynton Beach, Florida
Absolutely stunning! You must have been reading my mind as I was going to ask you if you would, at some point, do a lion. I'm really thrilled!!! Can't wait to try him.
Lovely majestic lion, so fun to watch him come to life. Thanks so much for planning to do this as a Patreon tutorial, I look forward to trying it after some more months of experience and practice. Thanks again for sharing your talent and expert instruction with us, Louise!
So beautiful! I did give this a go. It actually turned out quite well. No where near as beautiful as as yours.But much better ty I anticipated. Thank you!
And it looked ... so much ... like a ... lion! 😂😂😂 You are so much fun! And I find your voice so soothing. Watching your videos is like a meditative experience. ❤️
Just shared your video on the FB watercolour group as a member wanted to know what colours she would use to paint a lion. Your videos are so helpful, Louise, so inspirational and a pleasure to watch, that I recommend them all the time, and it takes wannabe-a-great-artists to your channel. x
Lovely painting and tutorial Louise. I share yours with my students occasionally to show them various techniques now that we don't meet. Would you mind sharing how you do your drawing, always so clean? It has puzzled me from the very start. A lot of people struggle with the drawing of something with precise proportions, myself included. Now that you do two paintings of same subject, I wonder if you have a "drawing shortcut?" It would save time and frustration. I love your color choices in this painting, shows the soul of this lion. Also, your use of the brush here is beautifully displayed. Thank you so much. You give much joy.🥂💞😊
From what I know, I think she uses tracing paper over her photo and then a graphite pencil on the back of the tracing paper. From there, she can transfer the image to the watercolour paper seamlessly. Personally, I skip the tracing paper and go straight for graphite paper under my photo. I trace it onto the paper. If you choose this technique, I find its best to already know what you want to trace before you start tracing. Its really hard to erase marks in this method so I recommend using a very sharp pencil, or better yet, a mechanical pencil. Its a balance between finding the right amount of pressure to create a visible line and not making your marks too bold so that they show through your final painting. You probably already know this if you're teaching art, but I thought it was worth the reply!
He's gorgeous. I love the color choices. Can't wait to see him on Patreon. No rush though Louise! Thank you for yet another beautiful subject in your distinctive style xo
@@LouiseDeMasi No worries ! you always look good ... I always watch your videos with the highest interest, I can feel you commit yourself in posting contents that are worked very professionaly, addind a delicious funny touch at the end of some of the tutorials. But what keeps me watching is the work you did to achieve with (what appears to be) simplicity a realistic rendering. I love the way you bring the eye to where you want it ... Love the birds feather details you succeed in giving and that inspires me a lot !... So no worries for the hair style that I noticed on that video ... Keep up your amazing work and tutorials.
WOW, Louise! He is magnificent! And you make it look so easy, but I know it is not. When I grow up I want to paint like you! (However, I'm in my mid-sixties!) Thank you so much for your wonderful video tutorials. You are so inspiring.
Thank you for sharing your wonderful art with us! I am new to watercolor painting and I find so much inspiration in your work! I love your approach to teaching; so thoughtful and descriptive with a calm and reassuring voice that inspires me to learn more about watercolor painting. 😊💕
Thank you so much for this video. I have been struggling with my lion painting. Such a big help. And loved the last bit of video with video stuff ups. 😀😀😀😀❤️
Absolutely stunning!! I have not tried animals other than birds. This looks challenging but your instructions make it easy and it is so soft and beautiful I can't resist giving it a try.
The best part of any day is a notification telling me that Louise has posted a new video😊
