Your art is impeccable, your talent to die for. The outtakes are genius, I laugh till I cry for!! 😂

@ginabadeaux9319 3 жыл бұрын

i used to watch you for your beautiful talent and now bloopers are the icing on the cake its funny cuz you are so quiet and serious and so funny at the end i love it

@suemauer5965 3 жыл бұрын

Your commentary is so solemn, so serious, so detailed... which turns your outtakes into some wonderful dry humor. Or humour, if you please!

@kayrabey1344 3 жыл бұрын

I’ve said it before but I so enjoy the out takes. Make me smile every time. None of us is perfect. Thanks for being venerable. Your work is so beautiful.

Good timing! A friend asked me to do a pet portrait of her son’s girlfriend’s dog. Gave me 3 months notice. I’ll procrastinate for 2 1/2 months usually. But I love drawing with graphite and I’m still a bit timid about watercolor. So this showed me a way to combine it with watercolor. I’m going for it!! Thanks Louise. :)

I’m learning to work with watercolor and you are one of my favorite to learn from. Birds are going to be my favorite. Could you talk more about the size of paper your using in relationship to the subject in your work? How large you determine your going to paint your subject? Thanks! I look forward to your next video and will eventually get onto skillshare! Blessings!

@@LouiseDeMasi hope to see you mix mediums some more, have you tried color pencil with water color? I just love your work, i have been a dormant artist for a long time and im so excited to be drawing again. My dad used to do watercolor and my mom gave me a bunch of paper and his brushes so I want to do them justice, wish he could see your paintings he wouldve loved them.
