Failure is part of painting in watercolour because we can't paint over mistakes. I often do studies before a painting to try and iron out potential problems. Sometimes I have to do several studies before I get it right. It takes time but it is time well spent.

    Absolutely stunning, Louise! Your instincts are spot on - both the turquoise background wash and the pan pastel added SO much. Thank you for sharing this with us. The big benefits we gain mentally and emotionally when we take time to create just for the joy of it are so worth the small amount of time from our necessary tasks. That is something I have to remind myself of often. I grew up with the value of “no play until all my work is done”. The problem with that is my work is never finished-there is always more to do… Thank you for the beautiful visual result of taking time out to play!

    Amazing. I LOVE all your work. I've only started watercolor the last 3 years. I'm almost 78. I'm learning tons from UA-cam, but your my favorite. I don't know how many years I have ahead, but I'm enjoying drawing, colored pencils, pan pastels and watercolor. I need more practice in all, but watercolor is my favorite. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and tips. 🥰

    Breathtaking. Love the details. I have a set of Pan Pastels I have never tried because they say you need to spray them and it's always winter when I find time to try them so I keep putting it off. Didn't know you could enhance a watercolor with them. Do you have to spray or seal it someway? Really enjoyed the video.

    • @diannewelt155

      Buy plastic sleeves from craft/art supply. Slip your pastel paintings in them. It will keep them smudge free until you frame them.
