How I learned to Paint

[@tamaragrandart]

I will definitely be joining in. I always find some new gems of wisdom when I participate in Nick's free courses. But I have to tell you that it was YOU who changed my life xx

[@ThisPaintingLife]

thank you so much xx

[@MaureenMo71]

Louise, a confident artist like you, unashamedly edifies other artists. It shows your true character and I appreciate that about you. Thanks!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

I really believe it's important to thank those who helped you, and also to lift others up x

[@juliebabb3365]

Dear Louise, you are the kindest most brilliant soul. This video was so spot on, not about Nick’s course, but about the endless play/practice that is the life of an artist. Creativity has no room for being in a hurry. You have taught me about life & art. I hope to continue this journey because it lifts my soul when I need it most. 😊

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Glad to hear you agree 😍

[@clarem00n]

This is why you are my favourite abstract artist ❤, not just your fantastic art but your honesty, passion and generosity...thank you for being so kind as to say this..I was contemplating the course ❤ Also, thank you for the message, your words always make me feel better about what I do and who I am, because these days, art is who I am xxx ❤

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Aww so glad I could make you feel better. Happy painting! 🖌😀

[@gaylecharach1743]

Your challenge last summer unleashed the artist that was locked inside of me! The first piece I produced out of your challenge is my husband's favourite and I've framed and hung it :) I had already signed up for Nicholas' upcoming workshop but now that I've watched this, I am even more determined to free up my calendar that week and dive into each session with renewed interest! Thank you for being an inspiration to so many of us Louise! 🙏

[@ThisPaintingLife]

I am so glad to hear you are joining! ❤

[@EcoAttitudeGeneve]

Thank you soo much dear Louise, for your enthusiasm and generosity!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

It's my pleasure ❤

[@carolbicknell9603]

I’ve signed up for his workshop for the second time! And all you say about the workshop rings true! But, if I’m being totally honest, here, I definitely love your free workshops much more!! I think your personality and style of painting rings truer to me!! You were my first guide into acrylic painting and abstraction, and I’m so grateful for you! Thanks for being such a wonderful encourager to many of us!! ❤

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Awww such kind words. Thank you! ❤

[@carolbicknell9603]

You’re most welcome, Louise! Your voice, and work is such a great encouragement to us all.

[@berniesteadman7676]

I'm doing the course for the second time, because I know I'll get more from it this time! Thanks for your openness, and I hope you reach some level of peace after your difficult time.x

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Glad you are joining us again!

[@wendygibson5399]

Louise, you always talk about art and your experiences with creativity in a clear way that I can easily understand. I so appreciate that! And I have signed up for the Nicholas Wilton wkshp. So looking forward...thanks for your generosity and enthusiasm. We all need that!❤️

[@ThisPaintingLife]

You are so welcome!

[@annieponies3462]

I am 75 and going to get back to art. I am so glad I found you. Thank You for the inspiration. I am excited to jump into painting again.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Age means nothing! Glad you are jumping in. ❤

[@artmel7395]

You're right to say it never ends... coming in the morning on my wall I'm always amazed of what I can do différent... Thank you for sharing have fun... Love from Bretagne 🌈

[@yopestevens1505]

Was happy with your introductory Taster course (2023), and although my joyful journey comes to a full stop sometimes, I feel no need to confuse myself with another's teachings. Thank you for that.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Thanks for sharing!

[@annavernick1490]

Yes! we never get to the end, and the Art2Life workshops are so fun!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Glad you agree!

[@denisekalt3390]

Wow! I wasn’t expecting this Louise! I was very inspired to take a work shop with you last summer but work got in the way. I am retiring this week and ‘stumbled’ across Nick Wilton’s invitation video yesterday on instagram. I’ve never seen his work before and I’m not an abstract artist. But I am eager to get back to watercolor landscape painting and ‘find my voice’ FINALLY after many years of painting. Thanks so much for this endorsement and I will sign up!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

So glad to hear you are finding your way again! Cheers! ❤

[@ingunnelverum007]

[@patstats1]

Thanks so much Louise. I signed up a few days ago when I realized this was the class you talked about in your sampler! I will be traveling to Europe from the US and hope I have a sufficient internet connection to take the class, live. I learned so much from your sampler and am most interested to learn whatever more I am able.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Wonderful!

[@rote_universe]

Thank you for sharing this, I signed up! Recently discovered your work and the Art Juice podcast. Feeling very inspired, thank you for sharing your work and wisdom 🙏🏼

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@agneszirini922]

I registered already ! Thank you for sharing, I so understand what you're talking about in trying to find your own voice ! Getting inspired by many artists, but not knowing exactly where I stand ...

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Wonderful! enjoy it :)

[@jesswoodhere]

I love the work behind you!! Gorgeous!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Thank you so much!

[@sandracoombs8865]

Thank you for sharing Art2life! I’m ready to dive in!!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Have fun!

[@auldburdlaughin]

Thanks for this Louise, I have signed up! I'm hoping that focussing on this will cure my 'helicopter head' - I have so many ideas that I can't settle on anything! What you said about spending a year exploring colour resonated with me, it's something I love but don't really understand. I'm retired now so have the time - just need some direction. Thanks again, Eileen in Scotland ❤

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Glad you are joining us Eileen! 🖌

[@alinakirk4433]

[@Marianne_C_O_Art]

Done!

❤❤

[@nancybrunskill7446]

Hi Louise, can identify with being stuck! Idea…why not hang group do your paintings in a group (2x2?) and treat the 4 like one…make sense? 🤗

[@ThisPaintingLife]

That's a great idea Nancy! Thank you!

[@christineboone2850]

Wanted to do it the last two years and was too scared. I signed up this time.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Oh I'm so glad - there's nothing to be afraid of. It's a blast!

[@heatherstubbs6646]

I’m signed up!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

So glad you are joining us Heather! ❤

[@dinamic6210]

Awesome… thank you .. I have. Missed 2024 but will hopefully be able to do 2025 … I do watch him on KZbin

[@seeress1111]

Nicholas Wilton’s free course is a beginner course. The point of the workshop is just to get you to sign up for his paid course. I was deeply offended. Be careful of free offerings.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

That's an interesting way to look at things. I learned tons from that free workshop and I had no problem with him selling something at the end. Everyone has to eat!
