Paint with me | Rainbow Watercolor Abstract
Paint a vibrant abstract watercolour pattern with me. Using simple shapes and rainbow colours, I'm painting intuitively and without any forward planning. I love this method of painting when I want to relax and paint something simple because I just have to focus on one shape and colour at a time.

Ok
I LOVE painting patterns like this with watercolour, it's so fun! though can easily make a mess 😂
Love this idea! Very inspiring, thanks for sharing! 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
I’m giving his a go….
Happy painting!
Just , WOW ! Stunning piece . Greetings from Newcastle, England .
Thank you - I grew up near Newcastle! Not much of an accent left now though :)
me encanta
Lovely! Saved it to my "Lou" playlist. 🙂 Hope you are having a good summer up in Scotland. 🌻 P.S. I stumbled onto something the other day, that I wish I'd known about sooner. It's called a centering ruler, or center-finding ruler. It saves me so much time with the style of art that I do. Hope this helps someone....
Thank you - yes, we're having a good summer though we'd like a little more sun - it's been quite wet! I'll have to look up a centering ruler, sounds like something that could be vey useful!
Love this! This is going to be fun!
Thank you very much, great perspective tutorial.
Glad it was helpful!
Wonderful…so many possibilities to try with this
Thanks - hope you enjoy painting them!
Very pretty!
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful…love your circle designs..lovely cheerful colours

Thank you so much for awesome content on watercolor!!!! I have enjoyed your videos for hours and I have learned from you more then from any other watercolor videos so far!! Thanks for sharing your knowledge so freely!!! I sent some super thanks.. I wish it could have been more, for the value you offer is insignificant. Thank you again!!!
Thank you so much, I’m so pleased you’ve found the videos helpful. Thanks for your generosity!
Thanks!
Ciao Lou,😊 ho appena finito di vedere qst video e devo dire che hai fatto un ottimo lavoro! Mi è piaciuto tantissimo, complimenti ❤
Grazie mille!
Congrats for the new studio! I've been enjoining your videos since a couple of months, and I really appreciate your channel among the others. It is a joyful and a calm learning space!
Thanks so much, so glad you’ve been enjoying the channel!
I really appreciate the tip to try out painting the pattern with your brush to see how it feels!
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
So beautiful!
Hi Lou. I am new to watercolor and I really loved this exercise. So many great ideas. I also like just the idea of trying different techniques on the same page, in the same color so the results can be compared. Thank you!
You're welcome - I wish you well with your painting!
Beautiful, enjoying these. Have a lovely day!
Thanks :)
Hi Lou. I did the flower petal exercise using jewel tones and it was really enjoyable. Thank you!
Beautiful! I love drawing Celtic knots, this hombre painting is stunning!
Hello from South Africa, came across your videos this week,enjoying your pen & wash paintings
Congratulations on your new studio!! It looks wonderful and very neat and organized. Looking forward to whatever you come up with next.
💐
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
I wanna try it some day close, I guess!!! You got really cool piece there.
Thanks! Happy painting!
Loved this tour. You've made a wonderful space
Thanks so much!
Absolutely brilliant. Thanks for sharing
Glad you enjoyed it
Thank you so much for this. I am a beginner at mark making, etc. And you have given me some great ideas. I often look at a blank page & find it difficult to think of ideas to fill it. I can follow your ideas & go from there. 🙂👍
You are so welcome!
@@LouDavis 🙂
A wonderful well organized art space…so much light as well…lovely to see you🙂
Thank you - I realised I’d not shown my face in a while and thought it was time I did!
What a beautiful space to create in! I especially love seeing your art on the shelf in the cradle frames. They look amazing like that! Thanks for sharing your space with us. ♥
Thank you so much!
Social Media is getting to be such a loud dramaticised space, that this is a very welcome peaceful space. Love the storage, you and your husband have made a lovely space, thank you for sharing. Lots of great storage tips here.
Thanks, yes I like to create calm spaces both online and at home.
Lovely space!❤
Thank you!
Looks great.
Thanks!
Awesome space! Love your map cabinet!
Thanks so much!
So, today I've started my version, exciting to see how it looks when it's dry. After that there will be pens and markers.
I hope it went well!
Hard not see a plant pot with a leafy plant as the main focus.
That’s probably what I’ll see every time now!
Brilliant. Cannot wait to try. I'm in a beginning watercolor class, hoping the teacher does not want photo realism because I that will be impossible for me. What you do is much more possible. Thanks again.
Thanks! I hope you enjoy the class!
Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for such a clear and concise explanation.
Glad it was helpful!
So happy I found you! Wonderful inspiration
Thank you!
Thanks!
Thank you so much - very kind!
Love this one and will be trying it! Thanks for the outline pdf!
You’re welcome! Happy painting!
Looking for inspiration and I found it!!! Merci!
You are so welcome!
I'm so glad to see you back! Have missed you. This is lovely!
Thank you so much!
How beautiful, I am so happy I found your channel. You make the most intricate patterns understandable - do-able😊 - and your color schemes are beautiful too. A small tip from my own practice: Using a compass often leaves a little punctured hole. A small wash of clean water will almost always make it close itself when drying. Again: thank you for sharing and inspiring us all.
Thank you, I’ll definitely be trying that tip!
