I mix black watercolor paint using two colours to paint a small Australian bird called a Willie Wagtail. I demonstrate how I layer the paint to allow for variation in the black paint.

Oh I love the laughs with the bloopers, you are so funny! Love that you still make them despite the experience you have. I think most of your groupies wait till the end for them. Love this little bird and it’s name! Wish they were more creative over here with names like that. My favourite blacks and greys and browns are with the same colours too! I even have a bowl dedicated to them called my ummm “ grey bowl”. ( so creative 🙄) easiest way to make amazing black and best with WN Burnt sienna as it is more red and vibrant than true burnt sienna in my humble opinion. Thank you for another tutorial. They always make me want to run to my studio as watching you and “ pinkies up” so relaxing and inspiring. Hugs from Texas.

🌻Hello Louise, I have just discovered your tutorials and am thrilled to find an artist with humility; that you are un afraid to show that you to make mistakes.....( bloopers 😉)....just like everyone else.....Breath of fresh air. There are too many ‘artists’ here on ‘the tube’ that are simply interested in solely selling their own products! Totally understand that we all have to make a living, never the less it is not necessary to tell folk, especially beginners that ‘their products’, or ‘their ways’ are ‘the right way’. Something I have found, is that we all have our own way of painting, and so find/develop our own style. One particular artist here on UT told me off for helping a beginner on how to achieve a certain color that he was selling as his own colour! 😔 I simply stated that he could use two colours in certain ratios to achieve the same color, one of the colors being white.The ‘artist’ then fired back at me stating “You should never use white”....to which I replied... “then why is white there for us ALL to use”? No reply, only condemnation for daring to help someone. So sad and arrogant. 🌹Thank you from a lowly serf. 🤗

Hello Louise … I absolutely love your tutorials and painting style. I am a beginner and have chosen you as my mentor I am planning on joining your Patreon channel first of June. I am gathering supplies as was wondering if you have a video on basic starter supplies and/ or any suggestions on a supply list. Thank you for all these wonderful videos and I love, love, love your outtakes at the end. Looking forward to painting with you. Thank you so very much, Doreen

@LouiseDeMasi 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Doreen, thank you! I look forward to painting with you too. On Patreon I have some written posts about supplies and each tutorial comes with a supplies list. You'll have access to that when you join. I use mainly Winsor & Newton paints. Arches cold press is my favourite paper and my favourite brushes are Da Vinci Maestros series 35. You don't need to buy the Maestro brushes when you first start. I used to use synthetic brushes when I began painting in watercolour. I used Winsor & Newton Cotman brushes for the first few years.

nice painting, i like it. Only problem is, it doesn't look like any wagtail i have ever seen. The classic fantail is not there, i wonder if ...it's a juvenile bird that fell out of a nest and damaged its tail feathers. Just wondering...thanks for the painting demo.
