Hi Louise - love your KZbin videos and I would love to take one of your courses. Do you have an upcoming free course? Thank you.

Great video thankyou

I LOVE your book! I enjoy your process and philosophy about art. Thank you for your inspiration!

Louise I love your work. I appreciate the ideas you give me to work things out in order to find my own style. I believe this video was from three years ago, and you mentioned a free workshop you were offering June 3rd. It would be helpful if you stated the year it was for. I’m 67 and just getting into art again. Your work inspires me and makes my heart beat faster. Thank you for putting your work and techniques out there to help us.

I have been wanting to paint on wooden panels for a while Do i have to purchase any specific type of wood? Once it is ‘prepared’, is it archival? Thank you so much for your attention!

I’m returning to art after decades of a nursing career. My previous art experience was as a commercial artist, where everything was planned and executed with precision. I’m currently in CVP and am learning so much valuable information. Even with all that wonderful knowledge, I need to master covering and uncovering and recovering….that is a new practice for me and it’s a completely different mindset.

81 trying something new, love your words.

Loved this demo! Thanks a lot!

Great🎉

Thank you. I’m learning a lot from you I.e. contrasts. How vital they are to a painting.

I get it. You put Inyo words what I feel about wanting to create abstract art. Thank you

I love the deconstructing at the end, the colours, the energy and the video was great showing your processes , thanks so much , now to subscribe ❤

I love your podcast so much! You two are amazing and so very much fun. Thank you for all that you give.

Lovely colors! Very nice video!

hi, how do you keep the acrylics wet?

Wonderful video. Thank you so much. What paper do you use?

Love watching you work your magic. Never disappointed in your paintings and I always come away with a new idea or two. Thank you for sharing. ❤

Enjoyed that one. I really have to try some. Took your taster course- very helpful. Let go & create!

Thank you, Louise. You are amazing 👏 ❤

Thank for not opening your video showing your HANDS TALK 🙏. It's not good, it's not fun for the viewer. I Have a few learning disabilities , when I watch your videos I get exactly what you say, and you are going to be showing us in your video. You walk us through and then you show us, perfect. Thank you

I want to thank you so much for always being just about the art you start your class/ video off talking about what you are going to do in this video . I really appreciate that you DON'T, TALK ,TALK , TALK, about about your title of the video/class. I always walk away learning something thank you. You keep it short and to the point. Thank u 💓

Thanks so much for sharing your insights and advice! Always so very helpful! ❤

and also the words and thoughts after going through the paintings are just so true.

Love the work and also the sketchbooks😃

Just saw this one. Absolutely love the prossess and the result. I can see small scenaries in the skin because of your use of colors ❤

Love it when you learn the right thing at the right time! Thanks Louise!

There is another approach towards abstract art: create enough suggestions or implied forms, minimally described, so that the viewer can project their own meanings in it. Don't expect an artist to emphasize a focal point or mood or consideration, just enough painterly content to attract your eye so that you spend time with it. Viewers will 'make something of it'. Anything that the artist does to make a point to the painting is likely to force the viewer to lose out on the opportunity to see a painting in its multiplicity - like we see other people in their multiplicity. It is time for art to shine as something that people can have a long lasting relationship with, and not be just a 'thing'.

Thank you♥️

I like having nueturals mixed with more pure color for contrast, maybe mud is an ugly nuetural ? Thanks again for the video 🎉

A truly beautiful and helpful video. Having listened to many artists try to explain their process and intention over the last 50 years, your presentation is extremely down-to-earth and insightful - a tricky thing to achieve in my opinion because it's about the process of engaging deep levels of abstraction within the artist in order to render an abstract image in a physical form, a painting. You hit all the major points in a very clear way. I love your emphasis on the fundamental skills that are always needed: use of color, value, and composition. Well done!

Awesome STUFF You showing. Real impressive and mind swirling )

Great advice

Thank you

Very good tip on harmony and colors

I really like this tip. Very helpful

I love all the changes...really interesting!

Thank you so much Louise for sharing your thoughts about your art and how what happens when you get rejected. I live in a small community and each year were have a craft show. I show my art but I do not get any interest, so this makes me think my art is not good. And makes me think I should give up.

I’m in week seven of CVP and he’s included a journal aspect to it as well.

Where do you buy the alcohol please

Very cool, thank you

I was a good kid in school, but the teacher's didn't really know what to do with me, I was dyslexic and they didn't understand why I wasn't learning. I would physically get sick because of the stress, and the humiliation I suffered from on a daily basis. I just got into art in 2020 ,thank u sweet baby Jesus! Now I have KZbin, I am stumbling through this , I'm on disability so getting classes are out of the question, sadly USA has taken the arts out of school , I really think it's going to show that we are so far behind the rest of the world. I hope to learn more from you. I want u to know that you are in demand over here. We need an opportunity for a stress management with our sad state of our government, hopefully we will be back in the arts soon.. thank you for letting me explain why you are in such a desperate demand for so many people on the spectrum, any kind of learning difficulties, stress relief ,

I'm sad to say that I was one of those people who said that throw paint on a canvas and Bob's your uncle! ... I didn't even understand it , I didn't see the beauty in it now I see it and I love it , and I so desperately want to be able to create even 1% of the beauty that you have, your just incredible , thank you so much

I love it. So dynamic !!!!!

A real abstract painter that's original is like a unicorn

Thanks so much for sharing this Louise. It’s so true, I always think someone else made it super quick and easy. And what is wrong with me laboring over each one for a long time. Super helpful reminder that is rarely the case. I adored all the images you showed of the finished ones. This is a powerful series. I want every one of them and I’m jealous you’re doing it. Ha ha. That’s usually a sign I really want to be doing it deep down. I loved figure drawing and especially the blind studies. Hmmm as ever you leave me much to think about. Thanks again for sharing your process. ❤😊😊😊

I love your self portaits. Absolutely riveting!

You explained that so well and it really helped to see you painting and explaining! Thank you

You always inspire me, whenever i watch your videos.
