That Dom is a very handy guy! Great tips Louise.

Well done Dom for such great refurbishment of the cabinet 🎉🎉🎉

Thankyou once again for sharing your knowledge with us all. I learn something new with every video you post.

Excellent tutorial as I’m very new to watercolour painting. Thank you for your generosity in sharing your skills.

I love your out takes. Great advice from a caring fun loving person 😊

What a wonderful, helpful husband 👏

How wonderful of your husband to restore those flat files!

Thanks Louise! Very helpful, as always! For question #5, it could also be the paint. When I swatch a new paint, I include a test of how the pigment "moves" on a wet surface. I typically use the pale (diluted) end of my gradient swatch for this: while it's still wet, I go back to my palette and dip the tip of my brush in the concentrated paint, then dot the wet area with a few spots to see if it runs (or bleeds), and how much. I have been surprised at the difference between some paints and other paints,for this. It's worth exploring with all you paints: see what they do!😀

Thank you Louise some good tips and a great studio 😃Thank you for sharing xx

Water tends to set the graphite, when soaking did not know this, thank you! Would you pls. consider doing a video on how you make prints of watercolor?

Thank you so much Louise I really needed help with question 5. Am going to try all you’ve suggested. You’ve got a very supportive hubby there. Love your outtakes 😂

Wow! I’d love to have a space and cabinets like yours

Fantastic tutorial Louise. I struggled with the wetness ratio and control so I'm going to take your advice and experiment. Thank you once again.

Thank you very much for your guidance and videos❣️ Glad I found you🥰

A credible KZfaqr/ watercolor blogger/tester has mentioned her tests with UV glass not making significant differences in helping preserve paints in sunlight. She mentioned that the only glass that would likely make the difference would be museum quality, which is not cost effective for most artists. Paint lightfastness ratings are more important in this regard, but even so, many have noted that their own lightfastness tests don’t match what the manufacturer has rated, including Handprint’s website. Love your videos and passion for painting :)

What a guy !!! 🇺🇸

Always enjoy and learn from your experience. Thank you Louise

I just want to say, I really like your soft curl hairstyle, it's very pretty and it gives you an extra glow. Sometimes we just need to hear and give a personal compliment! From 🇺🇸 America

Thank you for these tips, they are very helpful. Please have more of these Q & A videos. What we don’t know , we don’t know about watercolor.

I never soaked paper. New here!

Thanks Louise, this was very helpful. Do you ever use water color pencil? If so, would love to see you do a demonstration 🙂♥️

Excellent information, regardless of skill level. I have been using transfer paper for years, and am surprised that anyone still remembers "old fashioned' carbon paper. (Hey, when I was a kid, I actually had to change typewriter ribbons!) If I may offer a tip for transfer paper, the quality of the image varies with the tooth of the paper. It is easy to transfer an image on hot press or cold press, but rough (with more tooth) one has to press very hard to transfer the image. Due to the hills and valleys, there are a lot of "skipped' areas. As the paper is used, one must press harder to get the image.

Ahhh thanks so much for sharing your answer to these great questions, especially #2 & #3. I didn’t know that you could do a graphite tracing before stretching the paper because of using a light box. Thanks for sharing this wonderful information with us.

Lovely😊

When I am tracing over one of my drawings I often use a colored pencil so I can easily tell what I have already traced.

Do you have a video on how to use your tubes of paint to reuse on different blank palettes? Or ideas?

Thank you for your helpful thoughts!!

Great video! Thank you

Thanks, always something to learn....I think I need a "Dom" to work in my studio,LOL

You are a great teacher

Thanks again for another great video!

Great tips!!! Thanks a lot! Peace!

Love your new hairdo!

Hi, I haven't been getting the notices when a new video is up. I heard they favor channels who post regular shorts. A quick way to have a short is use an excerpt for the comming video or just announce the up coming video. Hope this helps. I miss getting my notices.

Love ALL your tutorials. What a gem you have in Dom!!!!!!! Your storage cabinet was truly transformed!!!!!!!!!! Do you use cold or hot pressed paper or both? Thanks!!

Thank you! What kind of paper did you use in your final version? ❤

Louise, you're a stitch! Especially in your bloopers😅. Thank you for all your videos, much appreciated. I've found that Arches paper is the best, for me. I'm a beginner, as well.

Bonjour Louise, je voudrais savoir comment vous nettoyez vos pinceaux, avec de l’eau ou avec un produit quelconque ? 🙏 merci bien

Here's my question. How do you keep Leo's hair off your paper as you paint. I have 2 big dogs, I vacuum all the time, I even use a roller on my clothes before I start painting. But alas stray hairs find their way in.

Can you post a link to the pencils and transfer paper. I have black transfer paper sheet. this may be easier on a roll instead of a sheet. And less messy.
