I've been intimidated about painting water, and you've expressed water perfectly here. Your instructions and expertise are sublime! Thank you Louise! I love your talent!

[stephw]

Just love love this! I think you are the only one to help me understand how to paint watched soooo many videos but no one explains as well as you!

[lightwavz]

I come here for the tutorial. I stay here for the bloopers. Every single time, you have me rolling in tearful joy! Thank you!

[deborahthomas]

Isn’t it amazing how the graphic squiggles end up looking so realistic

[valeriecarpenter]

Thank you so much for sharing your insight! The work to create amazing art of this very simple subject requires/benefits from the many interesting, delicate and intricate techniques you've applied and been kind enough to share. I'm hoping to be able to absorb some for my own work.

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.

Nine months ago i didn’t knew your lessons. Sinds several weeks my mother and i enjoy enormously watching you painting and listening to your excellent explanation. We are really impressed by your talent and the softness of your voice. Now you can also put East of Flanders in Belgium on your European list. Thank you for your YouTube films and the bloopers at the and. Please keep on painting as long as possible. A lot of greetings, my mother ( Lieve: prenounced leave with saying the E at the and) end myself Saskia, with the A of Alaska.

I never expected the granulation to show so much on hot paper. Marvelous painting:)

Oh Louise, you are so funny and wonderful, not to mention a great artist. Love your work and videos. Thanks for the chuckles at the end. Makes it all a little less serious and intimidating. Thank you!

[carlmarino]

Besides admiring your exceptional talent both in painting and teaching, your sweet whispering voice makes me feel like I'm getting a secret instruction. Love your sense of humor with your outtakes at the end!

[pattycyr]

Thanks so much for explaining everything so well. I am further inspired to try painting water again!

[Floweroftheprairie]

Thank you so much for the explanation on the pronunciation of Arches. Also, I’m praying for you to be fully restored to good health.

Louise, your teaching here is truly my inspiration.

[lydiabosley]

Hi Louise - Watching this while on a brief little road-trip to Seattle, first time my husband Chris and I have traveled together since Covid began, so a treasured change of pace! Glad to hear you've spent some time relaxing with your family too. Belated Happy Birthday to your daughter - mine was on the first of the month as well! I love your little boat and the water will be great fun to experiment with - thanks for this lesson!

[joykruczay]

I was thrilled to see a "different" subject. How beautifully you portrayed and explained this.

[rituanand]

You are one of the best artist guide I have come across on You tude. I Love the way you explain every detail while painting. You really give confidence & inspire me to paint water colours. Keep painting and sharing your videos 👍

[SheXyShellyMarie]

Glad you got to spend some time with your family. Happy Holidays Louise. Thank you for all your amazing instruction. I’ve grown as an artist thanks to you.

[bluewren]

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.
