I agree Louise is fearless and never afraid of the unexpected outcomes.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi again, Andrea. It is the challenge that I find so inspiring, the progression and experiencial knowledge that builds through the process. The mistakes are very much a part of all this. Thank you again for the lovely comments and appreciation. Have a lovely day, and all the best, Lou X😀

[@andreaharley4047]

There is no doubt your work is so inspirational,after watching your videos i can hardly wait to get in my art studio and get stuck in. Huge thankyou.🙂💯👍👍👍

[@LouiseJannetta]

My pleasure. I love exploring, creating and making and, it is a privilage to share this journey with you all. 😀🍀Many thanks for watching and joining in the journey XXX

[@MaryGadsby]

I love watching you for a lot of reasons - you are completely unselfconscious, you are fearless, you don’t get attached to anything that results in a piece, always looking for innovation in experimentation. To me, you really are the soul of an artist, it just comes across so beautifully when you work and inspires me so greatly, and shows me what complete freedom looks like.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Mary, thank you sooooo much. What a lovely comment to wake up to; much appreciated. I am so happy you are inspired this way. It makes me feel very proud. 😊

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Peter, we are ticking along, I hope you and yours are good. Thanks for watching and enjoy creating. All the very best, Louise 😀

[@marilynalexieff285]

I like both of those pieces for very different reasons. The colors of the first one are very appealing. While the texture and how the paints react to it on the second one is gorgeous.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Thank you! Cheers! Yes, I agree that there is so much offered by each of these methods. Thank you for watching; all the very best, Louise 😀

[@camillegranger]

Thank you! Very beautiful, I can’t wait to try it.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Have fun! x

Thank you for watching XX

[@marthajacobo3519]

You really blow my mind!

[@LouiseJannetta]

Thank you, Martha. Enjoy. The KZbin videos have pushed me to think of ways to use papers; it's been great for my practice. I am having fun and hope that you are too. All the very best, Louise 😀

[@essejd]

Totally love them 🎨 What does Bob Ross say, “Happy Accidents” ❤ thanks again that was brilliant and so inspiring 💐✅🌸🙂❤️🥰😃

[@LouiseJannetta]

You will love developing and experiencing some of these textures. There is soooo much potential in them, Enjoy XXX Thank you for watching and all the very best, Louise XX😀😀

U did make me laugh with your gluey plastic! Not laughing at you cos we have all been there with that one. Stunning work. Especially the cruceiform one. Serendipitous perfection! I like that expression. I saw one guy on u tube who said his job was to make it possible for accidents to happen. And then recognise their potential. Another american painter was debating whether the amount of accidents in his work should be 45%. He then decided nearer 75%!

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Robert, it is pretty challenging to be lucid and eloquent when my hands are doing the thinking. He he. I'm glad you like the work and the arbitrariness of the process. Thank you for watching. All the best, Louise😀😀

[@annatronson5927]

Are your substrates on a big piece of cartridge paper! It lies nice and flat without buckling or rippling! Great abstracts!

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Anna, thank you for watching. The paper is stretched 600gsm watercolour paper, but I use this because I may end up selling the work. A 300gsm watercolour paper would work, but I recommend stretching the paper. I have a video on how to do this. I will also do another one as I have found a more straightforward method. I just sprayed the paper on both sides, placed the paper down on the board, and then put the tape on the glue side and tape down each side of the paper. This is then left to dry and stretch. The current video is - How to Stretch Watercolour Paper - Video link kzbin.info/www/bejne/g3uVXqyjnpaCb9E 😀

@@LouiseJannetta Thankyou I’ll check it out!

[@beckyhofer4328]

Do you give workshops? This speaks to my heart, but I have no idea how to buy the supplies and seal things and use substrates, etc. I am in California.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Becky. I am intending to do workshops but have not really known where to start. Your comment has mad e me realise that perhaps at the very beginning would be a good idea, supplies, substrates, and materials. All this would lead to so many possibilities X Many thanks, Louise X

[@nanwilder2853]

How do you misspell TWO words in ONE title-and not catch/correct before posting?

[@LouiseJannetta]

OOps - Yep spelling is not one of skills, thanks for highlighting the error and when I get a chance I'll amend it. All the best, Louise😀

[@nanwilder2853]

​@@LouiseJannetta : As you also left out a word in your reply, Louise, please allow me to add the following : Bad spelling is one thing, but you must also learn to self-edit, or find someone to do it for you! Also, may I recommend another KZbinr, “Sparkle English”? She makes learning English Grammar fun, I promise you! Best Wishes for the Holidays, to you and your family.
