I think you’re the best watercolor channel on KZfaq. I think you explain the behaviors of the medium the best. You don’t just show how to do something. You explain the WHY too. And thoroughly show visuals that show each step of what you’re explaining.

Thousands of hours watching wc videos tells me that Louise is probably the best teacher. Straightforward explanations with first rate camera work. Many thanks.

Oh my goodness, I don't know why I've not discovered you before - I think I've just watched 5 of your videos in a row and you explain things better than I've ever heard them explained before! And your examples are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your understanding and love of the beautiful art of watercolour ♡

I really love blooms, but most artists will tell you to avoid them, not show you how to make them! They really do add interest, texture, and even subtle shading. Personally, I think they're one of the most beautiful aspects of watercolors. If I wanted flat colors, I'd have chosen to learn oil or acrylics, after all. (:

Exactly Stephanie! I agree with you 100%. I couldn't have said that better myself. 💜

Such an interesting effect. It really does add interest but doesn’t distract from the focal image. The sea turtle is a really fine piece! The shell is wonderfully realistic. The blooms in the watery background seem to add motion. Can’t wait to experiment a bit!

Okay I have made watercolor blooms for textures on a few of my paintings, but at the time it was not on purpose. I just lucked up with it working successfully.

@nanetteatienza4297 2 жыл бұрын

I am glad to see this tutorial. I did some blooms long time ago but I didn’t quite understand how I did it. I am trying it now and I could produce a bloom … all of it was due to my paint being so wet. Based on how I understood it now, I had to wait for a few seconds when it’s nearly drying (not dry) based on the comparison you showed. I was doing it while it’s still very wet so I couldn’t produce a bloom. Thanks for this tutorial. Very helpful.
