      <image:title>About - My Philosophy</image:title>
      <image:caption>I believe that anyone can learn to paint in watercolour, and I'm committed to making the journey accessible and rewarding for everyone! My philosophy emphasises the importance of practice, patience, and persistence in the learning process. Through experimentation and risk-taking, you can develop your own unique style and approach to art. And with the right guidance and support, the journey of learning to paint in watercolour can be deeply enriching and rewarding. As a dedicated provider of high-quality resources and support for watercolour painting, I aim to create a community of learners and artists who inspire and support each other. Together, we can unleash our creative potential and create beautiful works of art that express our unique perspectives and passions. Don't let fear or self-doubt hold you back from pursuing your artistic dreams. Join me on this exciting journey of self-expression, self-discovery, and personal growth, and let's learn to paint in watercolour together!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was drawn to water colour because I love the effects that it can produce but I found those effects elusive to me when I first began painting. I am more of a natural drawer and I was ‘drawing’ with the water colour instead of really utilising its natural properties. I have found Louises tutorials very helpful in showing me how to move away from drawing with paint to actually painting. Watching her process has been incredibly helpful. Mixing colours and showing how they create interest and depth, soft edges vs hard edges, the use of shadow to create realistic images, how to hold a brush to create a fine line. Showing how she used photoshop to pinpoint colours in her photograph and then choose which colours she would use. Showing how she does a study of a painting to see what works and what doesn’t. Seeing the original photograph and what she chooses to focus on for a painting. All of these things have helped me de-code some of the mysteries of painting. What Louise has created is a series of very generous and accessible tutorials. A real treasure trove for people who love water colour.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I started dabbling in WC in 9/2023 and haven’t looked back since. I searched for an artist on youtube that had just the right personality and artistic style I could connect with. I found Louise. Our personalities are vastly different: I’m loud, hyper and brash and she is just the opposite. She and her style is calm and her attention to detail is fabulous. Painting with her and just watching and listening to her calms my mind and I love her for that. I am growing as a WC artist because of Louise. I have only painted two tutorials and my colors are a bit off, but I’m learning. I thank you for coming into my life Louise… you’ll always be a part of it from now on. ❤️</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love Louise De Masi's Patreon tutorials because I never believed I could start learning to paint as a senior citizen at age 61. When Covid 19 happened and I was able to telework from home saving hours of commute time, I decided to try watercolor painting anticipating my retirement and wanting a hobby. Since finding Lousie De Masi four years ago, my hobby has turned into a passion for painting. From the first tutorial, and as someone who never painted in watercolor before, I was hooked by Louise's style. From the quality, and the detail of her tutorials, I was able to produce a good painting on my first try. Louise is patient and her tutorials show, in detail, how to plan and paint a picture from start to finish. The tutorial video's quality is professional and I can see exactly how she used the techniques. Louise gets the right camera angle for a close up to see the amount of water and paint she is using. I love her new style of using a limited palette and have been learning to mix colors and paint a cohesive picture. It helps so much that she reminds me to wait for my sections to dry, how to charge in colors to make my painting interesting, and to remember to leave contrasting areas of light and dark. I love her crisp, vibrant painting style and learned how to avoid muddy paint by understanding color theory. I use her "gray mix" of French Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna for every painting and it rarely looks dull from using a "tube black". Since 2020, I have painted over 75 tutorials and still learn new skills. The techniques are easier now after so many paintings but there is always something new to try. The tutorials are so diverse with options from birds, flowers and animals, etc to choose from. I have learned so many skills and can transfer them to my own paintings too. I highly recommend Louise DeMasi as a watercolor teacher and her classes on Parreon.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love Louise's tutorials because she gives you tips to achieve the best results on so many topics. One of the very first paintings I did in watercolor was the boat tutorial. Is mine perfect? No. But it was a first experience with this medium. Learned the value of good quality paint and paper. The use of an eradicator brush. Comprehensive tutorial that walks you through the steps. Where to find the pictures she uses. And collectively, gives you confidence. For a very beginner, to create something recognizable was amazing. Soothing voice as she walks you through the steps. Best watercolor teacher ever.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Besides being an accomplished artist and an excellent teacher, Louise continues her artistic journey through constant learning. She is then generous enough to share that learning through many tutorials, where we practice new skills that can be used again and again in our own paintings. Picking a favourite from the 60+ tutorials I’ve completed was difficult. I settled on Magnolias because it is amazing how the use of only two pigments can create such subtle colours, and flowers that just jump off the paper. Thanks for everything Louise. I’ve learned so much from you.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Before I found Louise's classes on Patreon, I struggled with painting in watercolour as a medium. Louise has an amazing way of teaching, with a vast array of tutorials that are easy to follow, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. She shares all her invaluable knowledge and all the techniques needed to be able to become confident in painting in watercolours, and most importantly, to enjoy the creative process. The classes allow you to practice and become proficient in techniques such as wet on wet, blending colours, brush control, tonal values, and keeping edges soft. I always look forward to sharing my finished paintings on the Facebook page, and seeing everyone's impressive paintings. The support, encouragement and the wonderful interaction of every LDM student, is what makes it a very special community to be a part of.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am new here and to watercolor. I found Ms. Louise on YouTube while searching for someone who could teach me watercolor techniques. I was captured by her gentle personality and the way she gives incredible details in her tutorials. I must say that painting the Magnolias taught me so much about watercoloring and patience. Throughout the entire painting process I learned more about watercolor and learned from the mistakes I made along the way. My painting may not be perfect but my husband is sure proud! I wanted to share one of the mistakes I made while painting the Magnolias and that was that I was relying on the paint color mixtures based on the color I “thought” I was seeing on my laptop screen. I had printed the different stages of the painting that Ms. Louise had provided but didn’t realize the color differences were sooo different from my laptop screen. My advice…. Print the pictures ( and look at them lol ) or at least really study the colors you think you see. Thank you Ms. Louise for sharing your talents with others.</image:caption>

Her clear and thorough teaching style set you up for success regardless of your experience level. Her warm and generous spirit is just one of the many things that her students love and appreciate. I'm so happy to have joined her Patreon and look forward to many more painting experiences with her.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love Louise De Masi’s classes. Her approach to teaching is structured, thoughtful, and encouraging. Louise explains how and why she does each move and step, while also providing suggestions for those of us who aren’t as fast. Her voice and cadence are extremely calming, so I don’t feel a sense of panic as makes blunder after blunder. Louise’s ability and talent is not limited to pairing, she is a masterful teacher as well and that combination comes together as beautifully as her variegated washes. As a Patreon member the community follows Louise’s example and exudes an atmosphere of kindness and encouragement. We all adore her and are grateful to have her as our teacher. Having never painted or had previous instruction I have been able to create paintings I am gleefully proud of via Louise’s classes and to utilize the techniques learned to experiment on my own. I have attached a painting of a panda that I completed from one of Louise’s classes. I’ve only been painting for two months and never thought I could do anything like this.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love her patreon-so much detail. I initially started by following her step by step. I would pause at each progress photo and make sure i copied her exactly! The progress photos are my number one favorite. No other instructor does this. As I got better, I would only look at the progress photos and try to replicate (but not exactly). Also not using the same brand/color ad shown in tutorial. I am now trying to create on my own and its hard. Im 65 and have been painting for 2 years, Which tutorial helped me the most? I guess I would have to say the very first one I did, which was the lily (on back of another painting). Trying to figure out the composition, colors and sketching is hard!! The tutorials on. warm/cool mixing was also one of my favorites.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I started dabbling in WC in 9/2023 and haven’t looked back since. I searched for an artist on youtube that had just the right personality and artistic style I could connect with. I found Louise. Our personalities are vastly different: I’m loud, hyper and brash and she is just the opposite. She and her style is calm and her attention to detail is fabulous. Painting with her and just watching and listening to her calms my mind and I love her for that. I am growing as a WC artist because of Louise. I have only painted two tutorials and my colors are a bit off, but I’m learning. I thank you for coming into my life Louise… you’ll always be a part of it from now on. ❤️</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was drawn to water colour because I love the effects that it can produce but I found those effects elusive to me when I first began painting. I am more of a natural drawer and I was ‘drawing’ with the water colour instead of really utilising its natural properties. I have found Louises tutorials very helpful in showing me how to move away from drawing with paint to actually painting. Watching her process has been incredibly helpful. Mixing colours and showing how they create interest and depth, soft edges vs hard edges, the use of shadow to create realistic images, how to hold a brush to create a fine line. Showing how she used photoshop to pinpoint colours in her photograph and then choose which colours she would use. Showing how she does a study of a painting to see what works and what doesn’t. Seeing the original photograph and what she chooses to focus on for a painting. All of these things have helped me de-code some of the mysteries of painting. What Louise has created is a series of very generous and accessible tutorials. A real treasure trove for people who love water colour.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I am immensely grateful to Louise for her work and ability to pass on painting skills to aspiring students like me. Without her, it's hard to imagine that I can confidently paint such beautiful watercolor botanicals. Her watercolor painting style is quite calm, serene and very eye-pleasing. It is a kind of meditation in motion for me and helps me to move forward on my artistic endeavour. Also thanks to her community facilitation, I can connect with many great friends who encourage and inspire me. Without them, I won't progress much. I really hope to take a long journey with Louise and the whole community. And I hope that Louise would continue creating amazing botanical tutorials in the near future.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Louise inspired me to start painting again after a 30 plus year hiatus, where I guess life got in the way. I was self taught, so had never had any sort of tuition &amp; found the in depth tutorials so helpful. Louise is truly inspirational. Her quiet, patient way of teaching has spurred me on to try &amp; emulate her wonderful paintings. I have attached a painting that I did of pink lillies which is one of the tutorials. It helped me understand how to achieve depth in a painting, with the main lilies bolder than the background flowers. Also area's of shadow which helped give that depth again. I also participate in the monthly art challenge on Discord..this stretches you to use all the techniques Louise has taught you. There is never any negativity, everyone is always so supportive &amp; it's a joy to see everyone else's paintings &amp; how different their interpretation can sometimes be.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have been a Patreon member of Louise De Masi's since February 2022 and have done almost 50 of her tutorials from beginner to advanced. Louise's tutorials are detailed and very well narrated and her voice to me is very calming. She is so generous with sharing her knowledge and one can learn something new from each tutorial, as well as reinforcing skills. The Patreon site is easy to navigate and I love that I can stop or rewind the lesson. My favorite technique that I have learned is using wet on wet and letting the colors flow. I also appreciate that Louise uses a limited palette. It is hard to pick a favorite lesson, but 2 recent ones that I have done come to mind. The Gallah was an excellent tutorial to learn feather work and not rushing the process. Fishies was an enjoyable way to reinforce letting the colors flow and not fussing. I am also a member of her watercolor student Facebook. Members are encouraging and positive. It is fun to see other student's artwork as well.</image:caption>

As a beginner, I love how she helps you prepare, all the needed supplies, step-by-step, directions, and so much more. Just some of the basics I’ve already improved on like washes, how to mix colors, and glazes. Without a doubt, I am so happy with this program I would recommend it to newbies to advanced watercolor artists. I so much appreciate others in this group who provide support and encouragement.

From the most simple direction/tip such as 'watch where your brush is on the paper', to 'allow yourself to experiment and create your own color or background', her direction and support are always spot on and supportive. I have noticeably improved since joining her patreon group last year. \ Thank you!!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I first found Louise De Masi on YouTube. I wanted to learn to paint in watercolor and I was attracted to her choice of subjects, the beautiful way she painted, and the instructions were such that a beginner could follow them easily. She was so down to earth in her manner that I subscribed to her channel. The bloopers at the end were an additional bonus! I also subscribed to her on Patreon and that has been a game changer for me. Her beginner tutorials cover everything you need to know about painting in watercolor. She’s patient and repeats enough of her methods of painting and helpful hints to sink into this hard head of mine. Her blending techniques (lemons) tutorial along with ones for brush control exercises; tonal values; temperature of colors; paint consistency and working on wet paper are just a few of the many lessons I can name that have been very helpful. Her painting tips just add to the completeness of her tutorials. Example: don’t use your good brushes to mix paint! One in particular was very useful. Wetting the area to be painted with water first helps to give an homogenized look to the area when adding color. If this area dries before all the color has been added, reset before adding any additional color. This one technique has made an amazing difference in my paintings. The addition of Discord has opened up a whole new world of watercolor. It has been an amazing journey to be able to study practice watercolor with fellow artists from all over the world. To be able to chat with them and see their works has been so educational. We can post our paintings and get feedback on our works. This has been very helpful, getting another pair of eyes, in perfecting our techniques. We encourage one another and have become friends in the process. I am so very thankful for Louise’s lessons, words of encouragement, and all of the hard work she’s put into these tutorials and Discord for our benefit. She has made us come out of our comfort zone and expand our horizons. I would never have tried to paint the Fighting Fish before. Thank you Louise!!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When I started painting about a year ago, I was looking for tips and tricks to help me paint my illustrations. I got a backrun in one of my illustrations and I didn't understand why. Googling led me to Louise's YouTube page and a lot of instructive and informative videos on painting techniques. Her style of teaching and her beautiful paintings immediately caught my attention, I just love botanical and animal art. After a little snooping around I discovered she had a Patreon and immediately signed up for her tutorials. In the beginning there was so much to learn; paper quality, water control, understanding paper wetness, different painting techniques... After doing all of the beginner tutorials I felt a little more confident about doing paintings by myself, and I am very pleased to say I am happy with how my paintings turn out right now. Even though I have a whole lot to learn, I know Louise can guide me in the right direction to be able to create beautiful paintings myself. Each and every lesson has been valuable and I am sure there is much more to come and learn. I'm mostly active in the Discord community, which is full of kind and supportive people. In there we can chat about tutorials, things we struggle with, support each other and talk about everyday things. It is nice to have a community of like minded people who all have the same goal; getting better at painting in watercolour. I am in love with African animals, and after Louise released her lioness tutorial I really wanted to try that one. Although it was classed as 'advanced' I still decided to follow along with the tutorial, see what I was capable of and what I have learned along the way. This one turned out to be my favourite, and gave me the confidence to tackle some more difficult tutorials! Thank you so much for sharing all of your knowledge with us, Louise. You are an amazing painter AND teacher. You have the ability to make something as difficult as painting with watercolours into something stress free and enjoyable. Your lessons make me feel like I can do this. Again, thank you so much. Love, Kimberly</image:caption>

She explains every step so patiently and thorough that one can only end with a beautiful painting. Her Tutorials encourage me to go Fürther and enjoy the World of Aquarell.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love Louise De Masi's Patreon tutorials because I never believed I could start learning to paint as a senior citizen at age 61. When Covid 19 happened and I was able to telework from home saving hours of commute time, I decided to try watercolor painting anticipating my retirement and wanting a hobby. Since finding Lousie De Masi four years ago, my hobby has turned into a passion for painting. From the first tutorial, and as someone who never painted in watercolor before, I was hooked by Louise's style. From the quality, and the detail of her tutorials, I was able to produce a good painting on my first try. Louise is patient and her tutorials show, in detail, how to plan and paint a picture from start to finish. The tutorial video's quality is professional and I can see exactly how she used the techniques. Louise gets the right camera angle for a close up to see the amount of water and paint she is using. I love her new style of using a limited palette and have been learning to mix colors and paint a cohesive picture. It helps so much that she reminds me to wait for my sections to dry, how to charge in colors to make my painting interesting, and to remember to leave contrasting areas of light and dark. I love her crisp, vibrant painting style and learned how to avoid muddy paint by understanding color theory. I use her "gray mix" of French Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna for every painting and it rarely looks dull from using a "tube black". Since 2020, I have painted over 75 tutorials and still learn new skills. The techniques are easier now after so many paintings but there is always something new to try. The tutorials are so diverse with options from birds, flowers and animals, etc to choose from. I have learned so many skills and can transfer them to my own paintings too. I highly recommend Louise De Masi as a watercolor teacher and her classes on Patreon.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Louise takes the time to explain all the aspects of a painting project. From the colors, brushes and paper to use, to the stroke, water and appropriate consistency. I love that I can rewind and rewatch something that I missed. She gives tips all along the way that are very useful and in the genuine spirit of helping her students. I also very much enjoy seeing other students artwork and reading their individual comments about their projects. It is very nice to be a part of a artist community. My technique has greatly improved since starting Louise's tutorials and I am now starting to develop a "style" of my own which is exciting. Thank you, Louise, Dom and Team, for all you do! ❤️</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Louise is a thoughtful and caring instructor. Her tutorials are labeled as to skill level and so detailed that even a beginning student can give them a try. Everything needed (paints, brushes, photo, drawings, video and progress photos) are all included in the membership fees. Her technique and beginner to advanced videos are wonderful for zeroing in on specific topics I might need more practice on or just as a refresher before starting a painting. I've been painting for a few years now, but I still need refresher tutorials every now and then. I like the fact there is a huge inventory of tutorial subjects and technique videos on her Patreon site that I can access at my convenience. Louise De Masi Art School and Newsletter both offer extra support and incentives I find very helpful. Such as choosing colors, matching and mixing colors and the temperature of different colors and when and how to use them. If you've ever wished you could paint in watercolor treat yourself to a Louise De Masi membership on Patreon. It's well worth the money and gives me a lot of joy.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love her patreon - so much detail. I initially started by following her step by step. I would pause at each progress photo and make sure I copied her exactly! The progress photos are my number one favorite. No other instructor does this. As I got better, I would only look at the progress photos and try to replicate (but not exactly). Also not using the same brand/color as shown in the tutorial. I am now trying to create on my own and it’s hard. Im 65 and have been painting for 2 years, Which tutorial helped me the most? I guess I would have to say the very first one I did, which was the lily (on back of another painting). Trying to figure out the composition, colors and sketching is hard!! The tutorials on. warm/cool mixing was also one of my favorites.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I first started watching Louise's videos about a year ago. I have painted in watercolor for quite a while, but more recently since I retired. Even with experience, I have learned many new techniques about watercolor from Louise's tutorials. I was never comfortable painting wet-in-wet until I watched Louise's tutorials I love the way she drops different colors into a wash to make it more lively and interesting, such as in the Black Bird. I also love using a limited palate which I never did before. It simplifies the mixtures but also brings a coherence to the painting. I also love the way she will glaze a flower or leaf such as in the sunflower. Louise is also a very kind and patient person. You can tell how much she loves teaching her students and how proud of them she is as they progress. I love the Patreon group for all the wonderful tutorials, and I also enjoy looking a the beaautiful work of my fellow students. Thank you Louise for making this art journey so fulfilling. Louise is a perfectionist in her work. I now redo a painting that I think has failed. I would not have done this previously, but I now see this as a learning curve. There are so many techniques and information that it's difficult to list all of them. I am uploading a painting of a sunflower that I am doing for my niece. One interesting thing was to glaze over the leaves and part of the flower petals to make them pop and bring them to life.</image:caption>

Even the more difficult subjects are enjoyable and achievable (with a few stops or rewinds to catch up). I have learnt to practise more often and to take the time to plan out my painting process. I love your manner Louise and thanks for imparting so much information and encouragement. The heron tutorial was my favourite because it covered several techniques and although it was challenging the result was a confidence booster.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I had been taking watercolor classes off and on in my home town for several years, but still considered myself a beginner because my paintings never turned out great. My very first painting of a tiger following Louise's tutorial turned out great. I couldn't believe it and I owe it to her expert teaching. Her tutorials are so clear and detailed and she teaches with a very soothing tone of voice. Her tutorials have helped improve my own personal projects as well. I also enjoy her Facebook community and love seeing everyone's projects and getting feedback on my own. Louise's patreon tutorials have dramatically improved my painting in a short time.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have been following Louise for many years, before Patreon, on YouTube. Following Louise‘s videos on YouTube made me feel I was painting, the magic of watercolour was still tangible but I couldn’t feel my brush myself ,… emptiness … a parallel world … connected to my passion in thread : Louise‘s work!!! So, after a long time I wrote Louise on Facebook, and unexpectedly got an answer! OMG, I couldn’t believe it! A gift! She invites me to enjoy Discord. I did it, I registered, introduced myself very shy, read comments, enjoyed the wonderful discussion about colors, papers, supplies, I meet beautiful enthusiastic painters and felt his passion…at some point it clicked ! My heart was full of joy! So, I followed a tutorial, painting, for the first time in my painting life! OJ, on Discord, suggested me to paint a Seal … she motivated me, she accompanied me, she gave me stability…I bought some paper, took a deep breath, lit my scent stick, turned my Neil Diamond playlist and painted! The seal, my “Franz“. He is not perfect, but my new beginning, after a too long time Thank you all to make my life complete again, specially on Louise! You can make magic happen!!! Forever grateful, Susi</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love Louise De Masi's classes because regardless of your experience level, there are painting tutorials that are achievable for everyone and can make you feel successful. I am a relatively new beginner, have been painting for about 1 1/2 years (no natural talent), and started watching Louise's YouTube videos about a year ago. I loved her painting style and the way she taught, but I thought it would be a few years before I could even attempt one of the paintings and join her Patreon. Then I found the free seal tutorial and thought I would give it a try. The painting is not perfect, but I was so pleased with how it turned out. This was a special moment because I was getting frustrated that none of my paintings were very good and this experience gave me the motivation not only to continue but to paint more. Louise is so good at teaching, I've been able to become more proficient at the wet-in-wet technique that I could not master no matter how many tutorials I watched from other artists. It is helpful that Louise shows her palette, how she mixes the paints, the consistency, how to apply the water, and how to paint the various techniques. Paintings like the seal and ducks have helped me progress as an artist because Louise instructs in great detail and at a doable pace. I'm still working on getting the details of bird feathers, but I enjoy doing the bird paintings, especially because they're different than the birds we have in Texas. When I'm not painting, I find a wealth of information in the newsletters and frequent blogs that Louise posts. It's wonderful to be able to get art instruction from such a great teacher far across the world from me!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When I first started watercolor painting I did everything one my own. And then I found support mostly on YouTube. That’s where I found you. Then I subscribed to your Patreon site. What I learned early on from you Louise, is how to control water, in the paint, on the brush, and on the paper. Like so many other students have said, your instruction, subject matter, voice tone, and encouragement were and continue to be the best around. It is obvious how hard you work and how profoundly you care about your followers. It is rewarding to share my work and it is such a joy to see the paintings of fellow followers. My family has heard me say more times than they can count, “Today Louise DeMasi posted a new project and I can’t wait to start a new painting!”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I must admit that Louise and her tutorials make me a bit cranky… her tuition is so far superior than all the others that I really can’t stand to follow anyone else!  I have learned so much from Louise that I’ve gone from an absolute beginner just 12 months ago to having the confidence to create my own work. I’m physically disabled and have spent the last 17 years in and out of a wheelchair and in and out of hospital. When I am home I need to spend a lot of my time in bed. Having found watercolours and then soon after Louise’s Patreon, has completely changed my life! I spend the days in bed inspired and painting and it has been such a welcome change to both my life and especially my mental health! I find myself just running Louise’s YouTube videos in the background so I feel like I’m painting with a friend everyday. While I haven’t followed every single tutorial, when I’m starting a new piece I will find a tutorial that uses similar techniques and I watch them to see how ‘Louise would do it’. For example, I’m about to start a black animal painting, so I’ve watched Louise’s Labrador and black cockatoo videos to get some helpful tips for working with a predominately black animal. It is incredibly helpful for my process. I’m at the point where I want to create my own work but I don’t think I’ll ever give up my Patreon subscription because I get so much value from it. If I have questions Louise gets back to me quite quickly with thoughtful and thorough responses. I love being a part of the LD students Facebook community, I love seeing everyone else’s interpretations of Louise’s tutorials and occasionally their own pieces. The community gives really amazing encouragement and helpful suggestions with anything from their favourite art books to recommended colour mixes. The painting I’m sharing is just one of the dozen or so pieces I’ve made from Louise’s Patreon tutorials. It is my favourite so far but I’m working on her Skillshare Giraffe class and it may be a very close second. I’ve recommended Louise’s YouTube and Patreon to everyone I know including my weekly art class. She really is the best watercolour tutor on the internet!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I hadn't painted for 30 years and took it up during COVID. Louise helped me get back into painting and taught me so many techniques I would have taken years to master on my own. Joining her PATREON is like a speed upskill - a cheat sheet for becoming an artist in a hurry. Also the range of subject matter tutorials is unmatched by any other teacher. You want to paint people/flowers/dogs/birds/landscapes - Louise has got it for you.</image:caption>

The progress photos are my number one favorite. No other instructor does this. As I got better, I would only look at the progress photos and try to replicate (but not exactly). Also not using the same brand/color as shown in the tutorial. I am now trying to create on my own and it’s hard. Im 65 and have been painting for 2 years, Which tutorial helped me the most? I guess I would have to say the very first one I did, which was the lily (on back of another painting). Trying to figure out the composition, colors and sketching is hard!! The tutorials on. warm/cool mixing was also one of my favorites.</image:caption>

I like the fact that you talk about your failures; it helps to know we are all human. Watching your videos &amp; applying those techniques to my own photos has really helped me to grow. I still struggle with how much water is needed (in the paint, on the brush &amp; on the paper). Finally, here is my version of your Black Cockatoo.

      <image:caption>I first started watching Louise's videos about a year ago. I have painted in watercolor for quite a while, but more recently since I retired. Even with experience, I have learned many new techniques about watercolor from Louise's tutorials. I was never comfortable painting wet-in-wet until I watched Louise's tutorials I love the way she drops different colors into a wash to make it more lively and interesting, such as in the Black Bird. I also love using a limited palate which I never did before. It simplifies the mixtures but also brings a coherence to the painting. I also love the way she will glaze a flower or leaf such as in the sunflower. Louise is also a very kind and patient person. You can tell how much she loves teaching her students and how proud of them she is as they progress. I love the Patreon group for all the wonderful tutorials, and I also enjoy looking a the beaautiful work of my fellow students. Thank you Louise for making this art journey so fulfilling. I am attaching a photo of the Black Bird that show the way the colors are dropped into the feathers to make the bird more interesting. Louise is a perfectionist in her work. I now redo a painting that I think has failed. I would not have done this peviously, but I now see this as a learning curve;</image:caption>

Louise has an amazing way of teaching, with a vast array of tutorials that are easy to follow, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. She shares all her invaluable knowledge and all the techniques needed to be able to become confident in painting in watercolours, and most importantly, to enjoy the creative process. The classes allow you to practice and become proficient in techniques such as wet on wet, blending colours, brush control, tonal values, and keeping edges soft. I always look forward to sharing my finished paintings on the Facebook page, and seeing everyone's impressive paintings. The support, encouragement and the wonderful interaction of every LDM student, is what makes it a very special community to be a part of.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have learned SO MUCH from Louise's online tutorials! There are many, many tutorials on YouTube and Patreon by really wonderful artists. But what makes Louise's tutorials stand out is her patient teaching style and the professional look and feel of her videos. She is careful to explain her materials, thinking and techniques in enough detail for both beginners and experienced artists to follow. The most helpful techniques I have learned from her tutorials are wet-on-wet, using complementary colors as background washes, anchoring the subject with shadows, and various tips on controlling water on both the brush and the paper. My favorite tutorials are the botanicals and birds, but it's just because those are my favorite subjects to paint. I have created several original pieces using the techniques I learned from Louise and have given them to family members as gifts. Watercolor painting has become a very rewarding hobby for my retirement.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>First of all, Louise is just a wonderful teacher. And for that, I enjoy how she melds together instructing, appreciating, and integrating art into our life. For those of us that paint and create, we know that there is so much more than receiving instruction when it comes to art. I think learning the wet on wet technique was really a big help to know when I was in the very beginning stages. Also working with hard lines vs. soft lines. The pink rose was a really important tutorial for me. It took a lot of time and patience. I did the initial wash the wrong color, but I adapted and continued on and I think with the skills I learned with Louise, it turned out rather well. And I enjoyed it.</image:caption>

I guess I would have to say the very first one I did, which was the lily (on back of another painting). Trying to figure out the composition, colors and sketching is hard!! The tutorials on warm/cool mixing was also one of my favorites.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>love your calm, gentle manner and approach of using voice-overs after you’ve painted. The voice-overs give detailed how-to information at a steady, manageable pace. You are very good at explaining the why behind something you do, which is so crucial for true understanding rather than just mimicking. I’m a former teacher, too, and recognize your methodical approach to breaking down each part of the painting you do and not skipping steps. I can watch a portion and take in the information, then rewind and do it myself while following along. They are special because they make me feel successful and that I can do things I never imagined myself capable of! The line drawings, supplies lists, and photo guides included in each tutorial, in the same consistent format, are also especially helpful. When those sorts of things – colors used or options for substitutions, brush size and type, initial drawing – are not intuitive, having them spelled out makes it all seem possible to take on. It’s like having a peek at the lesson plan. :) I have never seen another tutorial that lays everything out so clearly and easily and it shows how much you do to help your students succeed.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I fell in love with Louise’ colorful watercolor paintings when I stumbled upon one of her tutorials on youtube. I was just recently gifted a tub of art supplies, albeit the cheaper version of paper, paints and brushes. I had success on my second attempt with the banana tutorial and I gain confidence and did several tutorials. It’s a challenge dealing with the fluidity of water and pigment yet with Louise and her calm,peaceful and passionate instruction with her many painting reminders and technique I am developing a new skill! Time flies by when I am working on her tutorial. The video editing is clear with great lighting and no obstructions. I will try to paint each day, even though I work from my kitchen table at the present time. I am giving away most of my early artwork to family and friends but I did have these two birds left.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I retired in June almost 6 years ago and loved playing more tennis and pickleball. I suddenly had a shoulder injury and could t play. A friend suggested I take a watercolour painting class at a local art studio. I took two classes but most of the students had been painting for years. Louise was recommended and suddenly I became an artist. I can’t draw nor am I a natural artist. With the line drawings and excellent teaching, I have painted several things that I have framed for myself and gifted to family. I even had cards printed which I love! Thank you!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Louise's tutorials are simply the best! She makes an intimidating medium - watercolor - approachable. You can tell she was a school teacher...rather than rambling like many other artist-teachers do, she is succinct, yet thorough. Her calm and patient demeanor help settle my painting jitters. And she explains so many tricks of the trade, with accompanying easier tutorials to practice; thus, I have more success. And, finally, she has been very prompt in responding to my questions. Without a moment's hesitation I recommend Louise De Masi as your watercolor guide. For the price of a fancy cup of coffee, you can have a month's worth of her amazing tutorials! Oh, although I have completed many of Louise's tutorials, some much more difficult, I chose the little boy because of the way it pulls at the heartstrings. I'm a grandmother, and have Kids' Corner in the living room, where The Boy has pride of place.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love Louise De Masi's Patreon tutorials because I never believed I could start learning to paint as a senior citizen at age 61. When Covid 19 happened and I was able to telework from home saving hours of commute time, I decided to try watercolor painting anticipating my retirement and wanting a hobby. Since finding Lousie De Masi four years ago, my hobby has turned into a passion for painting. From the first tutorial, and as someone who never painted in watercolor before, I was hooked by Louise's style. From the quality, and the detail of her tutorials, I was able to produce a good painting on my first try. Louise is patient and her tutorials show, in detail, how to plan and paint a picture from start to finish. The tutorial video's quality is professional and I can see exactly how she used the techniques. Louise gets the right camera angle for a close up to see the amount of water and paint she is using. I love her new style of using a limited palette and have been learning to mix colors and paint a cohesive picture. It helps so much that she reminds me to wait for my sections to dry, how to charge in colors to make my painting interesting, and to remember to leave contrasting areas of light and dark. I love her crisp, vibrant painting style and learned how to avoid muddy paint by understanding color theory. I use her "gray mix" of French Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna for every painting and it rarely looks dull from using a "tube black". Since 2020, I have painted over 75 tutorials and still learn new skills. The techniques are easier now after so many paintings but there is always something new to try. The tutorials are so diverse with options from birds, flowers and animals, etc to choose from. I have learned so many skills and can transfer them to my own paintings too. I highly recommend Louise De Masi as a watercolor teacher and her classes on Patreon.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I was drawn to water colour because I love the effects that it can produce but I found those effects elusive to me when I first began painting. I am more of a natural drawer and I was ‘drawing’ with the water colour instead of really utilising its natural properties. I have found Louises tutorials very helpful in showing me how to move away from drawing with paint to actually painting. Watching her process has been incredibly helpful. Mixing colours and showing how they create interest and depth, soft edges vs hard edges, the use of shadow to create realistic images, how to hold a brush to create a fine line. Showing how she used photoshop to pinpoint colours in her photograph and then choose which colours she would use. Showing how she does a study of a painting to see what works and what doesn’t. Seeing the original photograph and what she chooses to focus on for a painting. All of these things have helped me de-code some of the mysteries of painting. What Louise has created is a series of very generous and accessible tutorials. A real treasure trove for people who love water colour.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>When I first stumbled upon Louise's watercolor tutorials on YouTube, I wasn't actively seeking to learn watercolors. However, her mention of real-time tutorials in one of her videos immediately caught my attention. I decided to try one, and from that moment on, I was hooked. Louise's calm and friendly teaching style, coupled with her insightful comments, made each session a joy to attend. Through her tutorials, I've not only discovered effective techniques like wet-on-dry and wet-on-wet painting, but also the art of layering paint to add depth and vibrancy to my work. Her emphasis on mixing colors directly on paper rather than the palette has had a beautiful impact on my paintings. I've also learned the importance of letting the paint flow naturally at times, while at others, mastering specific techniques has been key. Louise's lessons extend beyond technique; she delves into color theory, the nuances of paint mixing, and the power of a limited palette. What's most remarkable is how much more I've learned than I initially expected. Her guidance has not only improved my technical skills but has also boosted my confidence and ignited my passion for watercolors. Moreover, Louise's personal touch shines through in her responsiveness. I've reached out to her with questions, and her valuable insights have been incredibly helpful. Being part of her Discord community has also been enriching, providing a sense of camaraderie with fellow learners. In essence, Louise has not just taught me watercolor painting; she's nurtured my growth as an artist and instilled in me a newfound love for this beautiful medium.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I LOVE Louise De Masi's classes because they're beautifully crafted tutorials that give step by step instructions on how to create watercolor paintings. As a beginner watercolor artist, I needed instruction on technique, color palette choices, brushes and papers. One of my favorite technique videos was on negative painting. It created depth in my paintings. Painting in watercolors has been one of my life's goals, and Louise opened the door to realizing that goal. I highly recommend her Patreon site where she offers excellent tutorials on technique, tutorials on numerous subjects for paintings (botanicals, animals, portraits, landscapes), and amazing feedback to requests and emails. She kindly responds to requests for help. I've tried several classes, both in-person and online, and - in my opinion - Louise is the absolute BEST.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I did tutorials with Louise from 2021 till 2023. Then I switched to other teachers on Patreon, also very nice but I discovered quickly that Louise is simply the best teacher and is offering a wide variety of techniques and subjects. She also has a superb knowledge of how to approach the subject. I also would like to do more water colour on aqua board, and Louise is in the process of discovering these too, so I am hoping she will continue with that every now and then. Conclusion: Louise is living for watercolour and watercolour makes her life. And I am just so lucky that Louise is sharing her life with us. Thank you so much Louise!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Louise explains each step in detail and provides useful images that go along with her explanations. I appreciate when she films how "wet" the paper should appear for a certain technique because it's not something you can convey completely through words. I also appreciate when she shares a painting that didn't turn out the way she intended and what she changed when attempting the painting again. The first painting that I followed was the pink pansy (for beginners). It helped me learn all the starting techniques and I was so pleased with how it turned out! For painting bird feathers the "negative painting technique" (I think that's what it's called) was a game changer for me. Skills that I have obtained from specific paintings: Water Bloom: Purple Iris and Green Grumpy Tree Frog Creating shadows: Pink Lilies Making really soft backgrounds: House Sparrow Negative feather painting: BlueBird Soft painting and letting the colors do the work: Sitting Hummingbird I love the LDM Patreon and Facebook communities. Everyone on the Facebook group is so positive and helpful. I am very thankful that I stumbled across Louise's pink pansy tutorial because if I hadn't I definitely would not have continued painting with watercolor. I found the medium so frustrating because I couldn't control it but through Louise's tutorials I now have the techniques I need to control it.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I have watched Louise De Masi’s YouTube video for couple years and finally decided to join her Patreon at the beginning of this year (2024). Online classes work great for me because I can watch them and paint at any time and at my own pace. I love her painting style and detailed descriptions in her classes. We can see pretty much every brush stroke and know why and how she is doing it, which is very helpful for a beginner like me. She is very inspirational too. She admits that even as an experienced and skillful painter like her, she still fails at first attempts sometimes, which inspires me to not afraid to fail and keep trying. I have only found time to get three paintings done from her classes for far, but I have learned so much already. For the Orange Flamingo class, I learned the importance of using lighter washes at beginning and add more layers later to add depths and intensity of color. Also, to control water on the brush, we can tab the side of brush on paper towel to absorb extra water and lose less paint. Pyrrole Orange is such a beautiful color but very intense and spread fast and far with water, so it is very hard to control. Thus the above two techniques are very essential to use this color in this painting. For the Protea painting, I learned to use fussing edge and lighter value to create depths. At the same time, using deferent color and value for shadow and contrast also creates more depths. Plus, there are a lot practice with wet on wet and wet on dry techniques, and she explains very well why, when and how to use them. I am also in her Facebook community. When I post my paintings, I get a lot positive and supportive feedbacks, which help me build up my confidence and give me motivation to keep painting.</image:caption>

Louise's tutorials are detailed and very well narrated and her voice to me is very calming. She is so generous with sharing her knowledge and one can learn something new from each tutorial, as well as reinforcing skills. The Patreon site is easy to navigate and I love that I can stop or rewind the lesson. My favorite technique that I have learned is using wet on wet and letting the colors flow. I also appreciate that Louise uses a limited palette. It is hard to pick a favorite lesson, but 2 recent ones that I have done come to mind. The Gallah was an excellent tutorial to learn feather work and not rushing the process. Fishies was an enjoyable way to reinforce letting the colors flow and not fussing. I am also a member of her watercolor student Facebook. Members are encouraging and positive. It is fun to see other student's artwork as well.</image:caption>

Louise makes watercolour accessible to new learners. I've also increased useful resources in my art supplies via Louises recommendations. I enjoy being able to learn at a time of the day that is convenient to me. I also just LOVE switching the world off and painting with Louise. I enjoy hearing from some of the other patreons, and seeing their work.</image:caption>

I love her style of teaching , succinct and thorough without fluff, it's not easy to teach art because artists have their own methods and sometimes it's not always making sense but Louise's tutorials make sense. They are step by step and really help you understand the method. She has a soft, painterly style with a touch of realism which I love...highly recommend her, especially for beginners!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I found Louise De Masi's tutorials early in my watercolor journey. Louise is the best teaching artist I've found. She has the ability to break down techniques into small steps while also conveying alternative methods of achieving the same effect. I love the online format because I can stop as needed and start right where I left off. I am also able to replay sections again and again if I need more time to grasp the technique. Early on I joined her Facebook community and found support and feedback to further my learning. Her blog posts-newsletters provide additional learning opportunities in written format. Being a student of Louise has helped me grow from an absolute beginner (a non-artist) to an artist able to navigate advanced subjects and techniques. Thank you, Louise!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I'm so glad I came across Louise on YouTube and Patreon. Her tutorials are so well done, the explanations are so clear and the teaching style so calm and reassuring! Thanks, Louise! I've been away from watercolor for years but Louise's help has been a Godsend. The tutorials are so easy to follow, and Louise's teaching style is so calm and encouraging. I've lived every painting of hers that I've done. Hard to narrow down my favorite one! Thanks for all your help!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I loved watercolor all my life but never had the courage to do something with that fascinating medium. Then I came across Louise on youtube and her voice sounded like she had a lot of patience and she was very clear in the explanation of all sorts of techniques that I joined Patreon and gave watercolor a change. I'm likely to quit when I'm not progressing fast and I also loose interest. I started out with cheap paint, brushes....and bad paper. After a few tutorials (that I couldn't finish because of my perfectionism) I still was able to see that I was learning from the tutorials. And she gave me the confidence to push myself harder. After learning that a good quality paper is the most important part of watercolor, and I bought it, watercolor was becoming something that I loved doing. And I still am after 3 years. In 3 years I learned so much skills, not enough because you will never be done learning, that I now am trying to do paintings on my own. It's a scary step, and I will "fail" a lot of times but the skills are there because of the clear and fun way Louise makes her tutorials! So thank you so much Louise, because it made me also grow as a person that now has skills she only could dream of! You're the best</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I like your tutorials due to your wonderful way to teach and to guide every step to get every painting in the best way, I began with the most simple paintings and little by littlle I have got nice paintings from the advance ones like the cow in the water, the puppy with long ears etc. I have learnt a lot of different techniques that I consider very important to go ahead, It is the true that when I had a doubt or a problem that I didn`t know how to solve, my questions were answered very quick and friendly. Further I love the nature and so the subjects that you choose to make the tutorials: animals flowers, landscapes, etc.</image:caption>

I learned so much about detail on the hydrangea tutorial, little effects makes such a big difference in the painting. The LDM group is so supportive and encouraging.

I love that I can rewind and rewatch something that I missed. She gives tips all along the way that are very useful and in the genuine spirit of helping her students. I also very much enjoy seeing other students artwork and reading their individual comments about their projects. It is very nice to be a part of a artist community. My technique has greatly improved since starting Louise's tutorials and I am now starting to develop a "style" of my own which is exciting. Thank you, Louise, Dom and Team, for all you do! ❤️</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Before I found Louise's classes on Patreon, I struggled with painting in watercolour as a medium. Louise has an amazing way of teaching, with a vast array of tutorials that are easy to follow, whether you are a beginner or more advanced. She shares all her invaluable knowledge and all the techniques needed to be able to become confident in painting in watercolours, and most importantly, to enjoy the creative process. The classes allow you to practice and become proficient in techniques such as wet on wet, blending colours, brush control, tonal values, and keeping edges soft. I always look forward to sharing my finished paintings on the Facebook page, and seeing everyone's impressive paintings. The support, encouragement and the wonderful interaction of every LDM student, is what makes it a very special community to be a part of.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I started watercolor painting in March 2020. After trying a number of online tutorials by various artists, I found Louise De Masi's Patreon and Skillshare lessons. I was intrigued by her style and teaching methods. I especially like that she is very specific in what she is doing, each step explained clearly and in detail. No skipping around, no fuzzy videos or inaudible language. Her paintings are stunning and she helps you believe that YOU can do this picture as well!!! She challenges you to stretch yourself - to discover your own style while building the essential skills needed to do each piece. Before you know it, you are trying new techniques and subjects .... surprising yourself with huge paintings of cheetah, zebra, intricate flowers and birds. I am now using the lessons to branch out on my own and do pet portraits. I have so much more to learn, but can feel the changes in my confidence and the type of paintings I'm ready to tackle. I'm very thankful to have found Louise De Masi and strongly urge you to sign up for her classes.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Hi! I Love Louise's teaching style. I am just an art lover and no formal training. I follow a few artist and I only found two to be very good at teaching her artistic style. Louise is one of them. The slow approach of step by step painting and the good advices all the way until the picture is done very helpful. I always get good technical tricks and problem solving ideas. I started watercolor during Covid and started from zero. Her art challenges helping me to grow and problem solve. Love her mistake and old struggle pictures. It reminded me of my humble beginnings. This Giraffe was inspired by her Giraffe tutorial. I used a picture from PIXABAY credited to Melanie van Sande and the tutorial to Louise. Thank you for the inspiration and all of your hard work.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Louise De Masi’s tutorials have helped me take my watercolor painting to the next level. Carefully following techniques she described in her two-part Black Labrador tutorial, I was able to create a masterpiece for my daughter’s birthday. This pet portrait of her champion Labrador named “Anarchy” would not have been possible without Louise’s guidance. I learned so much from these lessons, like how to prevent tide lines and how letting go of the need to control color mixes that naturally separate as they dry, allows for beautiful and unexpected textures! And, the LDM community on Patreon is always super upbeat and encouraging. Thanks, Louise, for building such a great library of instructions. I’ve learned a ton and look forward to continued improvement as I absorb what new lessons you bring in the future!</image:caption>

      <image:caption>I love her patreon-so much detail. I initially started by following her step by step. I would pause at each progress photo and make sure i copied her exactly! The progress photos are my number one favorite. No other instructor does this. As I got better, I would only look at the progress photos and try to replicate (but not exactly). Also not using the same brand/color ad shown in tutorial. I am now trying to create on my own and its hard. Im 65 and have been painting for 2 years, Which tutorial helped me the most? I guess I would have to say the very first one I did, which was the lily (on back of another painting). [This photos] my own (used photogeraphs). Trying to figure out the composition, colors and sketching is hard!! The tutorials on. warm/cool mixing was also one of my favorites.</image:caption>
