I paint a Protea in watercolor and I add depth by increasing the tonal values at the front of the flower.

I wish I had joined Patreon when I was about 30 years younger and had better eyesight. There is joy at 81 even though I will never be able to accomplish what you have. Thank you.

Watching you paint is very satisfying (and a bit mesmerizing!) Your mental process here regarding tonal values makes great sense -- thank you!

You have GOT to do a hair tutorial. I have long hair so it wouldn't be for me, but DANG your hair is cute! I want to get a senth of how you get the shine and body in your hair! This was a great tutorial. I'll try it because I struggle with details on botanicals, and you gave several tips I hadn't heard! Plus I love viridian so I'm always jazzed to see it featured! Hope you had a splendid vacay!

Lovely Louise! We had lots of Proteas when we lived in Cape Town, they certainly are gorgeous, even when dried. I am so happy to see the limited palette once more - thank you for your tireless efforts in teaching us to mix colours. Look forward to the full tutorial but I can use these techniques on some other works I am doing currently! Happy days!

I love how you manage to explain things so well while keeping the videos short. The drawing is really complex. Do you do it yourself or trace the photo?

Magnifique! J'adore aussi vos bêtisiers en fin de vidéo, je ne comprends pas grand-chose à ce que vous dites car je suis nulle en anglais, mais rien que le visuel, trop drôle! Merci pour vos vidéos.

I'm new to your page & am really loving your videos. I'm trying to lessen the amount of detail I'm putting into my paintings, which your videos have been very helpful with. I would be interested in seeing a painting tutorial of a small garden or an area with varied wild flowers. I'm trying to learn how to make a group of flowers look like it's supposed to but without all the extra detail that I'm having trouble with. Thank you!

Lovely painting, I love the softness of this Louise. Louise I have a birthday this month and have asked my family for money towards new brushes. If I were to buy Rosemary and Co which ones would you purchase first, say 3 - 4 of them?

@acatinthecradle 3 жыл бұрын

The new Red Dot Pointed Rounds are exceptional! Pure synthetic and hold a great deal of water for a synthetic brush. I recommend them highly against the series 33 Kolinsky's. Not sure what Louise is using here but I would like to know that too just in case there's another brush I need to get. LOL! I highly recommend Rosemary's "eradicator" and "smooshing" brushes also....🤗
