Thank you all for you lovely words and well wishes. :-) I found it hard to sleep whilst in hospital and I would wake up in the middle of the night and read all your lovely comments. Thank you.
You are most welcome.
So glad you are back home and healing. "There's no place like home," said Dorothy. You look wonderful.. I can tell Louise is happier that you're home, too.
Glad you're home and on the mend Dom!
Glad to hear you're on the mend! You and Louise are the sweetest pair of humans on UA-cam and very blessed to have each other. Take care and enjoy that grandbaby! Thanks for another great video!
SO glad to
see you home and recovering Dom!
I'm SO glad to hear your husband is doing better!
Prayers for his continued healing my friend.
We LOVE your tutorials here.
Of all the watercolor videos and teachers I've learned from in my career....I honestly glean more from your teaching every single time.
God bless!
What a lovely message to read at the start of my day. Thanks so much Patricia. 💕
You have a special talent Louise. Not only as an artist but also great teaching ability. I've been soaking up your techniques and tips for about 6 weeks. Today I tried painting 3 leaves using triadic colours following one of your videos from a few years ago. I am quite pleased with the result. I'm new to watercolour and totally agree with all your tips regarding quality materials and just having a go! Thank you for inspiring so many souls. Blessings 🙌
glad he's up and about. great seeing him in the bloopers :D
Thank you! 💕
LOVE the bloopers!
What amazing amazing art you do! Very heart warming to see Dom out of his gown and smiling. Thank you Louise for being so authentic ❤
Thanks Suzanne. Have a wonderful weekend. 💙
I always “snort-laugh” at your bloopers, they kill me every time 🤣🤣🤣 Wiping tears away....what beautiful beautiful work, I love to see that you’re still human like the rest of us!! Hahahah
Lol- I'm glad. Thank you 🥰😝.
Thank you for showing us step by step how to paint. But especially for giving reasons for why you chose to use certain techniques. It's one thing to learn by copying an accomplished artist, but it's even better when you impart understanding to the process. That's what makes your videos so helpful.
So well explained. I'd never heard of painting dry on wet having different results than painting wet on wet. So helpful. Thanks!
I’m so delighted to hear Dom is recovering well. Thank you for letting us know and your Siberian Iris is gorgeous!💕
I make bloopers too..... You aren't making any mistakes on paper and you are very calming to listen to. I enjoy your tutorials. Please get well Don❤
You are too humble. If you are not a master water colorist, who is!? 💟
Thank you very much Susan. Not me - but I'll keep at it. 🥰
Really glad to hear Dom is doing well :)
Thank you Sarah.
So happy about Dom’s recovery!!! That iris is so ethereal! I can’t wait to give that a try!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you Lynn.
Oh my gosh the outtakes at the end are so adorable, thank you for the giggle!
Glad you like them! Thank you. 💕
My mom grew purple irises when I was a kid. I just lost her last month and it was wonderful to see you painting them. She would have loved this piece. Beautiful work as always.
I'm so sorry to hear that Alan- please accept my deepest condolences. Thank you very much. 💜
I love your out-takes! 😆
Thrilled I stumbled across your iris technique and will look forward to more lessons from you. Many thanks.
What a beautiful painting! Can’t wait to try it! So glad to see Dom is recovering well!
Thank you so much Jerri.
So beautiful Louise!
Breathtaking breathtaking
Thank you Neena.
I can't wait for the iris! It's too beautiful! Glad to see Dom doing so well!!!
Thank you Laura. 💙
I am learning so much from you! Thank you and please know all rhe hard work you put into the videos and paintings do not go unnoticed! My first attempt at watercolor was botanical and I gave up because they were terrible. Now I paint beautiful flowers thanks to you and your encouraging words keep me going when I become critical about my work. You are amazing!
Fabulous iris
Beautiful Iris, bless you and your family. Stay safe..you and your husband are so cute together!💞
Thank you Dee Dee. 💕
The painting is spectacular
Thank you! I’ve been trying to paint an Iris for a bit now
Literally the best watercolor instruction out there. So very detailed and easy to understand.
Great, I thought it was just me, I feel as if my brain gets tired painting Watercolor, glad to know I’m not imagining the fatigue. I find if I take breaks it gives me a fresh look at the work too.
I love your videos. The idea of painting dry paint on dry paper and dry paint on wet paper for detail. Genius
Thanks Deborah. I hope it helps.
Can't wait to try this!
A delightful tutorial. Best wishes to Dom, and to yourself for taking the time to make this for us.
My pleasure. Thanks Jake.
You are so sweet. I love watching and learning from you. But your bloopers are the best. So now you and Dom have a new big fan in your corner. Wishing you all the best and love.
Glad that your husband is doing good now and thank you for your beautiful paintings and tutorials.
One of my favorite flower. Iris, tulips and peonies!
Your work is so inspiring and your encouragement makes me think all things are possible....even for me. Also, It was so good to see Dom up and about. I enjoy his antics in the boopers.
Thank you very much Sandie!
You have an amazing gift, thank you for sharing it with us. I have learned so much from you! May God continue to bless you and Dom with good health.
That's very kind of you. Thank you Pamela....and you also. 💕

So nice of you. Thank you very much. 💕
Such a beautiful watercolor iris. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. Thanks Kathleen. 😊
You two are sooo cute. I just wanted to say I was about to give up watercolor, but your stunning works inspired me to continue. I am still far from where I want to be, but I am practicing. Thank you for the inspiration.
Stunning piece!
My first time seeing your Bloopers! I laughed out loud!!! Thanks for being so real, I love your talent!! It inspires me so much!
Incredible. As always.
So glad your husband is doing better.
Love your iris, I have them all over my property and have been wanting to paint them.
It is so true we will never stop learning in watercolor, I am a beginner and LOVE the way you teach. Thank you so much Louise
Thanks very much Starla.
Love everything about this channel ! You are such a generous, masterful teacher! Thank you
That's very kind of you. Thank you Patrizia. 💕
I love your videos and your soft, mellifluous voice and humorous outtakes. You are a remarkable artist and teacher. I’m happy your husband is feeling well.
Cheers from Maryland, USA.
Louise, thank you for sharing your gift with us and helping us to hopefully achieve something even a tiny bit as lovely as your work. I switched to watercolour after l fractured my shoulder and found my oil painting demanded too much pressure on my arm, l also developed a tremor (now gone), and watercolour gave me a freedom to just experiment and take away the fear I’d never paint again. And l found my medium! You’re helping me to become the artist I really want to be. Thank you so much❤️
I really love your painting lessons : I learn a lot, I like the large size of your watercolor painting and the minimum of the colors you use : I really am not able to paint on such large paper !
And also your lasts words are extremely funny!!
Thank you for all.
I could listen to you all day long your work is stunning
Absolutely stunning. I look forward to following the tutorial. I love painting irises as they are so intricate and varied in petal shapes and colors. Peace, love and good health to you and Dom.
Thank you so much Renee. 😘
What a flower!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Amazing!
I don't even like irises but I love this painting.
God Bless you and thanks again for your lovely videos!
Thank you Louise
Beautiful!!!
Thank you for this lovely tutorial! The dry on wet technique is new for me - I can’t wait to give it a go! Love your bloopers at the end, and seeing Dom! You keep painting real for me, and help me keep going when I feel so discouraged. Thank you so very much! - Rebecca C.
That is beautiful
Beautiful and thanks for explaining it so well!
Thank you very much Louise ,I’m going to try and paint today.hope your husband speed recovery.
Thank you very much Paul. Enjoy your weekend.
omg, you two are adorable! And Dom looks absolutely fabulous compared to the last time! Blessings to you both of you dears!
Thank you so much MD. He liked your message. 💕
So sorry to learn just now that Don has not been well, but very happy to know that he is on his way to full recovery.
You had me laughing so hard at the end. Thanks for that laugh. I don’t laugh easily so that was amazing. I love your voice and I love your painting.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you Sandra.
Absolutely beautiful..

Glad you like them! Thank you Ria.
Magnificent ...as usual.
Thank you Louise for sharing your wonderful talents and wisdom. I took up watercolors over 30 years ago with a couple of classes at a local Art League in Alexandria, Va. After some life changes and a move back to my hometown, I dug out my brushes and paints which had been in storage for the past 20 years. At age 70, I've had to learn things all over again and have been struggling with this difficult medium. But your words of encouragement and you amazing demonstrations have given me a new positive outlook to keep on trying. I no longer view each failure as a point of frustration, but instead see it as a valuable learning experience. All the best to you and yours.
Hi Larry cheers from Western Australia 🤗 I hope you are still continuing with your watercolours...now tell me 'who says you are a failure' are you comparing yourself/work to others? Or are others telling you that? You have to stop critiquing your own work. People dont paint failures they just paint different things, different ways/styles to others. Enjoy what you do. Dont continue to paint people if you're not happy, paint animals, birds, landscapes or whatever...try different subjects. Take your own photos and paint from them, dont try painting something someone has already done because then you will compare...have fun, it doesnt matter how many courses you do (Louise is self taught) fun is the key word. Try different mediums if you find w/colours to difficult or demanding...do some sketches, try a bit of fluid art thats fun, messy but fun. Not sure where Va is..maybe Vancouver? You must have stunning country around there...Im jealous...have a great day🥰👍
Stunning piece Louise!!!
Thanks so much Nathan. It was good to get my paints out again after a week without them. It seemed like an eternity.
😆
amazing talent
Lovely video! You always inspire me, so thank you.
Glad to see your husband is doing so well!
Thank you so much Petra.
