Thank you, Louise, for your informative and inspirational videos. I appreciate your generous presentations. You hold true to your expressed goals for all artists.

Such a wonderful video! ♥️

[@Marianne_C_O_Art]

Wonderful! I love the "failed" blind contour of Maggie Smith, I got who it was immediately.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Awww that makes me feel great. Cheers!

[@heatherstubbs6646]

This is great, Louise! For a while I was interested in doing portraits of older women, but I let it go. I think you might have inspired me to get back to that idea. Thanks!❤

[@ThisPaintingLife]

That's a great idea!

[@annrubino6252]

Brava, Louise! Stop being so hard on yourself - this is a fabulous portrait, as are the others, including your perceived shortcomings. You have given me a jolt of courage to give a stab at faces. I do get tired of painting purely expressionist abstracts.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Thank you so much :) But I honestly don't think I'm being hard on myself - I'm just being honest. I feel that's important - there's too much of people pretending all this is easy for them

[@Mo-hl6oh]

Oh my gosh, I am laughing! Your drawings are great...it's your commentary that sounds like me and I laugh when I realize that all my mistakes are common! Thank you for being so genuine. And I loved the end result

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@DarrenPeet]

Thanks for the video and your comments!! I am playing with faces at the moment and what you say about the lights / darks and how they affect the result is very helpful.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Glad I could help!

[@philandviki]

I love it! Faces are my favorite… I need lots and lots of practice though… thank you for the video ☺️

[@ThisPaintingLife]

You are so welcome!

[@juliebabb3365]

thanks for giving us a glimpse into your portrait practice. It encourages me to realize you also have to spend hours to get a likeness.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Oh for sure!

[@mvswaaij]

Funny how the drawing of Maggie Smith on the left page has so much more likeness than the right page !

[@ThisPaintingLife]

It is funny how that happens, right? 😂

[@arts.by.rommellopena]

Very inspiring! Thank you Louise!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

A grid over the photo would help get things in the right place and the right size. Do you not use that as it inhibits your creativity?
