I’m so proud to be a Patreon. There is only 1 artist that I would freely support, and Louise gets that distinction. She is extremely talented and an excellent instructor.

Beautiful art and how incredible to see these birds in the wild. Not in Ohio, USA! Thanks you!

Love Cockatoos! Such a beautiful painting Louise 👌🏻💖

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVED, that you included your outtakes in the video Louise, gave me a chuckle!! Lovely work as always ;)

I think I will give the painting of two cockatoos a try too. Thank you for your time and for share

Magnificent composition and painting, I love this one especially, thank you for sharing your process so generously.

I enjoy listening to you talking about your preparation and things that can go wrong, even for professionals like yourself. It's easy to think that you are the only one who makes "stupid mistakes" when it happens to everyone and it's not STUPID!

I love your birds ,and style.

Great to see you back! These Cockatoo's are wonderful! Thanks so much for sharing your skills with us. You're a fabulous teacher Louise! 🌹 Btw the Cockies would probably have loved to have a spray from your garden hose. They love showers. They're very dusty birds and have a natural powder on their feathers. 😊

You have groupies. Congratulations. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

They are such fun birds and you captured their personality in this painting. It’s great to see you back 😊

¡Great video and fabulous painting! I love it ❤ “Happy accidents”. Success makes us happy, struggles makes us resourceful.

Looking forward to this one. 🤗🎨

What a great little story to start!

Excellent tutorial Louise. I find Pebeo a much more reliable masking fluud. I’ve never had any staining with it. Thanks for sharing your beautiful painting.

Welcome back i missed you. I love the way you paint 😍 😍 😍 bravissima

Stunning! 🕊🕊

I love this painting, it's beautiful, and these creatures are just adorable.

Happy New Year! Merci pour toutes ces vidéo partagées.

Just beautiful. So interesting to watch and listen to your process. Learned a lot. Thanks ❤

How wonderful to have those feathered friends visit your garden! You painted them beautifully 😊 I’m still keeping my eyes open for the soft pressed paper you used as I haven’t been able to find it here in the uk yet. Have a great weekend!

Lovely to see you back Louise and a great Painting of the Cockatoos, Thank you and A Happy New Year to you and your family xx

A beautiful painting! Will definitely try to follow the full length tutorial on patreon. Thank you so much for actually showing how to fix mistakes rather than giving up on the painting. Loving the limited palette use. Need to learn that and you teaching it is such a golden opportunity!

Beautiful

Just a little hint Louise is perhaps when doing main long vid for Patreon if you want them to be male and female, the female would have a deep Burnt sienna eye colour and the male black. Just a little something that wouldn't really matter anyway. Love your work immensely

doing a sketch really helped with the problem areas you had, when you have a complicated piece, its def worth doing 🙂

Great to see you back and with an absolutely charming painting of those two cockies 💛 Lots of useful tips on improving my skills in here …also your “bloopers” at the end of your videos always make me smile 😊

Loved that video, Louise, thanks! Very entertaining to watch while I sip my morning coffee. 💜💜💛💛💚💚

Louise, your cockatoos turned out absolutely beautiful! You are such a talented artist and a great instructor! Thank you. ❤ Helene

Wonderful to see you again. And a happy new years. Worlds apart!!?? How I've yearned to have 'exotic' birds pop in like you have there. But here in the UK, we've been super blessed with the re-introduction of Red Kites. A wow factor with every sighting. Weird to think we each have wildlife that we'd love to see, that the other is so used to seeing, that it's no longer an event. Such is life around this great big world of ours. Well, it's happened. I finally got up to your level, and enjoy every passing moment, when "Oi, Nasher. Here's your cuppa". My beloved wife brings me back from such a wonderful day dream... LOL Well, anyway Louise, many thanks for another astonishing display of the mastery of watercolour painting. Welcome back.😋

I am looking forward to this coming to Patreon ❤

whaow fantastic !

Happy New Year 🎨 💖💖💖💖🤗

Glad to see you back, I really missed you 👍😉 And the bird you painted is lovely 🎨 Greeting from Sweden

Thank you Louise, beautiful video as always 🥰

Quel talent vous avez bravo ù plaisir de vous regarder

Another STUNNING piece Louise! I have also had staining issues with certain brands of masking fluid! One that works well is Drawing Gum by Pebeo. I also had a chance to try the Fabiano Soft pressed paper. Thank you for the recommendation, I absolutely LOVED IT!!! It's the perfect medium for me! I can get the details but still get the beautiful granulation when I want it, like with my Cold pressed. Even better is the price. So...much less than my Saunders or Arches! I'll have to tag you on Insta to show you how it turned out!

Thank you. I when I try and use stringer pigment to water ratios I always end up disturbing that paint if I try and go over it. Still learning

Another wonderful painting! Happy New Year to you Louise. I do love your bloopers at the end of your tutorial. Glad to see you make goof-ups too! 🤣

I have had the exact same thing happen with the masking fluid! So frustrating, but can’t even tell in the final painting. Beautiful work as always.

Love this, just beautiful

Another wonderful video, thank you so much. I did buy some Fabriano soft pressed paper, I find it so difficult to use! Even taped down it buckles so much. Any tips gratefully received!!!

Really lovely and as always I learned a bunch!

So beautiful💞💕💗

How do you transfer your sketch/drawing consistently three times? Such great drawing skill❤

Happy New Year Louise ... great video 😀

The adjustment on the stain left from yellow edge was recovered beautifully. Would a diluted bleach applied softly on the paper work? Would it not make any difference? Or ruin anything other color placed on top be affected?

Love the cockatoos, is it on patreon yet, I couldn't find it

You are voice is sweet
