    I would have never thought those pigments could be used in such beautiful subtle ways. The seagull is exquisite :)
  • 😂🤣🤪Please never stop including your bloopers! I enjoy that so much. Thank you Louise i am really enjoying your Patreon tutorials. They are really helping me get my confidence back. 🥰
  • I am just delighted that you chose shimmery paints for your tutorial today! I purchased a set a few months ago but I just was afraid they might cheapen a watercolor painting. After seeing your tutorial I can hardly wait to give them a try. Thank you once again
  • @amandaluker9268
    Apart from your amazing knowledge your bloopers are the best. You make us all feel so human and laugh at our own mistakes . Loved it . And I love seagulls
  • @BluJean55
    I’ve never been a fan of metallic paints but I love how you used them on your seagull painting! ❤
  • @CoriHarhutch
    Bloopers and outtakes are adorable!!! Thank you for sharing Louise!!!
  • @crubymitchell
    Your bloopers are classic, you facial expressions are the absolute best and these things keep your videos real. Thank you always for providing excellent content and a bit of a giggle at the end too.
  • @lisaharner3720
    I have a few sets of Gansai Tanbi. They are lovely and shimmery! But I rarely use them unless on holiday paintings. Thanks, Louise! Your video was inspiration to try them on other work.
  • @M0odyBlue
    I’ve been wondering the best uses for those pigments. Thank you for this. Your seagull is especially beautiful!
  • @jademail77
    Your videos are always so instructive 🥰 I’m amazed by the color shifts going from black to white paper! So interesting!
  • Love all of your videos. This one was informative for me, thank you.
  • @nkguenther1
    Thank you so much for this post, Louise. My nephew gave me the Kuritake set which I love as well as some Primatek paints and some interference paints. I never know what to do with them! The seagull is gorgeous.
  • @susan3156
    Louise I just love your bloopers 😂
  • @debgrove4792
    Loving your fresh new look and as always your wealth of information. Enjoy your bloopers, they show the fun side of your personality.
  • @user-tg8wh7uz3j
    Always I am enamored - watching you paint, especially with voiceover. Questions - what paper do you use for a graphite drawing in advance of a watercolor of that subject, and what is your preferred method of transferring your drawing to watercolor paper? Thank you.
  • 🤣😊😂 Love the bloopers! Thanks for the examples of how to use sparkly paints. I have several of the duochrome and primatek paints so appreciate seeing how I can better use them. Also, only have one of the metallic paints in gold. Love having a bit of sparkle.
  • @OnlyJewell
    I am in love with the primateks in the seagull! They are some of my favorite "pants". Ahahaha! Thank you for a wonderful video (as always) Louise! And the little man, its all i can see now in every video. He needs a name.
  • @juliecalame1463
    I love watching your videos!! You are so knowledgeable, and I love your delivery. Your bloopers are the best!!! An amazing artist!!
