    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 🙌

    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.

    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❤️

    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.

    • @jennyc1846

      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🥰👍
