My dear, I love your paintings and explanations. I find them very helpful. I recently received some watercolor in tubes and I've swatched them and realized just how potent they are. Your bloopers area great too. By the way, your original squirrel picture I thought was great. I do see there is a lot of sharp detail, but I just love it. The new squirrel is so chubby and fun. Thank you for your videos. ♥♥♥

I appreciate seeing an earlier painting that is photo-realistic, and seeing how you painted the same subject with much more artistic expressions, while fully taking advantage of the nature of watercolor. I am still a novice watercolorist, but I insist on practicing with the same tenets, use only big brushes, resist from fussing with the details, and learn to master water control. These are tough to do but I see my progress precisely because it is difficult. Your demonstration is very helpful as it shows me how a master does it correctly. Thank you!

I was very grateful and am looking forward to the full tutorial in the new year on Your Patreon Channel.

Hello Louise😊. I love this little smiley squirrel face, thank you ☺️. I will try to paint with the you tube version 👍. Maybe 2021 will bring a Patreon version. Can I ask if you used Sepia on the inside of the ears....or the VanDyke brown? I’ve decided to joined Skillshare in order to get access to the Galah tutorial and the roses. My first preference is PATREON,.....I found Skillshare would be a + if I was to used more than one artist on the platform, in my case I only use the platform to be able to have access to your tutorials that are not on PATREON. I would not mind paying more for the PATREON....and have access to the tutorials on Skillshare. Does that makes sense..... Thank you 🙏
@LouiseDeMasi3 жыл бұрын
Hi Jacinthe, Thank you! The squirrel will be on Patreon soon (either February or March). I think I used both Van Dyke Brown and Sepia in the ears. I like to keep the content different on each platform because I have patrons who have also joined Skillshare. I will be painting a new galah tutorial for Patreon this year. 💕

when I do wet on wet, it the paint spreads too much to make it look like lines and objects. How do you control the amount of water to pigment to only get a little spread instead of a star burst?
