Every artist portrays water in such a variety of techniques. Love yours! I try painting water as often as possible and see improvement, but not complete satisfaction. You have inspired me to not give up and be a bit braver and relaxed. Living walking distance to a lake and using your inspirational painting, I am planning on some plein air watercoloring very soon.

Louise, you are such a refreshingly wonderful teacher. You explain everything, the paper, the paints and brands, the importance of wetness levels, the types and brands of brushes, and most importantly, you explain why you make each decision - and then you demonstrate it. Your love of teaching and of watercolor comes through. I have all the supplies, but so much fear to begin.

Sooooo thrilled to see you painting a ‘seascape’ - I looove your style & process of painting but I’m only interested in painting landscapes, urban scenes or seascapes and I have been hoping and hoping since I first began following you that you’d paint a landscape etc., I’m really, REALLY surprised you chose to paint this on hot press paper as I’m sure you know the wonderful textures that can be achieved with cold press and especially rough paper, especially the effects from granulation as these papers are a match made in heaven for painting watercolour landscapes etc., I’m really curious to know how much of a difference there would have been had you painted this on cold press or rough paper…. thanks for doing this and please, PLEASE I’d love you to do more ‘scapes’….

I loved watching you paint this. Perhaps it will spur you on to other diverse subjects! Don't get me wrong, your birds and critters are just stunning. This is a great example of how if when you build your skills they will transfer to other less familiar subject matter. The reflection has such a gorgeous mercurial quality. Nice.

So glad you took time out for your family Louise, always so important and becoming rarer as they grow up and go on with their own lives..everyone becomes busy busy busy..I just about have to make an appointment 6 months ahead to get a free weekend with mine 🤭🤭 thanks for this tutorial. I tried water recently but used acrylic...must say the soft flow of watercolour looks alot easier. But then you make everything look easy...I love it when you say " it only took a couple of hours" Im still fiddling weeks later....big thankyou and great effort👍🥰
