I 2nd Nancy's compliment to you. I found your wonderful tutorials by chance, when doing a search for watercolor tutorials by professional artists. I had grown weary of watching the same types of art videos that were basically copies of each other, just different presenters. I appreciate so much, your time and experience as a professional watercolor artist. Though I don't consider myself at the professional level, I enjoy the "process" of creating and learning "new" ways of "visualizing" subjects and painting with watercolors. I've also enjoyed your "out-takes" at the end of your videos. Thank you again.

I just adore you and it's amazing fun seeing the bloopers at the end. I'm painting 13 commissioned pieces right now, with a lot of the subjects (farm animals) having white as their main color. I couldn't have come across your video at a more providential time! Thank you for sharing your mastery of a limited palette and so many different ways to paint "white." Blessings to you and yours!

Thank you, Louise, this was very helpful. I tend to lean to a soft grey for white flowers, but you have shown beautiful other alternatives. Your three roses just demonstrated that getting "out of the box" can be quite exciting!

You hit the nail on the head Louise, thats exactly my problem...that I always paint what I see from my photos. I just cant seem to put in colours like some artists do that aren't there, yourself included. I would love to paint one of those gorgeous elephants, giraffes or lions in blues, greens, purples, yellows etc, instead out come the browns, the yellow ochres, etc etc..how do you step 'outside the box' its not as easy as you say...

Louise - This is a wonderful video, so clear to see what one can do with just minor variations in hue. Seeing three versions of the same rosebud, all subtly different yet made with the same three primary colors, is quite an eye-opener! I'm sharing this video on my FB page to show friends what a fabulous teacher you are and encourage them to try your methods! Thanks for such inspiration! 💜💛💚
