Hi Louise, Thank you so much for sharing so much information in your tutorials! I just finished my first tutorial of yours for the pale pink rose. Because you include a step by step instruction to the very last stroke of your brush I was able to complete the painting that looks quite beautiful for my first attempt at it. Do you have a page in which we can share our work with you?

Louise De Masi

Hi Joann, That's wonderful! At the moment all we have is the Facebook group that I created. Patreon doesn't give us a community page unfortunately. They took that away before I started on here. I am working on getting a Discord group started so everyone will be able to share their work there. If you need the link for the Facebook group let me know. Students in the group have created albums for each tutorial which is a great way of keeping them all together.

This was definitely a challenge for me. I'm so thrilled to learn this new skill! Thank you Louise!

Hanna

Louise, how important is the type of brush you use? It seems to me that you have softer bristles in yours

Louise De Masi

Hi Hanna, My brushes are Da Vinci Maestros series 35. They are sable. They have a really fine point and are beautiful to paint with. They are soft and they hold a lot of water and paint. I started using them after I'd been painting in watercolour for about 4 or 5 years. Prior to that I used a lot of synthetic brushes. I started with Winsor & Newton Cotman brushes which are inexpensive and they served me well. I don't think it would have made a lot of difference to my painting skills early on if I had used the more expensive sable brushes when I first started painting. I tend to paint with round brushes mainly and I prefer my round brushes that have a pointed tip. Some round brushes have more of a blunt tip and I find I don't use them often. The pointed tip allows me to paint fine details with a larger brush and I can get right into nooks and crannies with them.

Hanna

That makes sense! The pointed tip gotta help a lot when painting small areas. I just finished the pale pink rose tutorial and I really had a hard time watering the leaves because if i used a small brush to cover the pointy parts the paper would dry too quick, and i used a large brush it would go over the small areas. I’m going to shop for those. Thx so much! I’m learning so much with you!

Hi Louise, Love your work and the clear way you teach your method. I’m a beginner when it comes to water colour and roses/peonies are my passion. I watched through the entire tutorial and have a question about layering please. Can you please explain why you use multiple layers(3, 4 or more) of a diluted colour to create a dark effect, rather than use more pigment earlier on? Is it possible to build the full depth of pigment into the 2nd layer? Do the multiple layers create a better gradient or more natural effect? Probably explains why your work looks more refined, as I notice some other artists painting watercolour flowers, will create all the shading and depth in 1 go (in the 2nd layer). I would love to know, how your method of adding more layers effects the result (compared to adding all the depth and extra pigment 1 go) please? Hope I make sense. Thankyou kindly. Leah

Leah

Hi Louise, Thankyou. I hit return by accident, but have completed my Q now. 😊

Louise De Masi

That's a good question Leah and I've attempted to answer it here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/56363611 There are lots of different values in a well lit subject and I don't know how dark to make the darks until I have most of the other values painted in. Also, as I mentioned in the post, once the darks go on you risk disturbing them if you need to paint over them. I also like to allow the lightness of the paper to show through the paint even in the dark areas. If you put it on too dark and heavy all at once it can look flat and dead looking. Some artists will paint as you suggested and that's their method of painting. It doesn't work for me though.

Leah

Thankyou. Much Appreciated. 🌹🌹🌹
