You always make me want to stop what I'm doing and IMMEDIATELY go do painty things!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Haha that's not a bad problem to have! 😂

[@gretchenrodriguez]

Ohhh yes! So good. These are the type of videos I like best. Basic, simple tutorials. How-to videos are very helpful. Thank you.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

So glad you enjoyed it Gretchen! Be sure to check out some of my others. ♥

[@annrubino6252]

I'm really charged up after this one, Louise. Sometimes, my battery is completely depleted but your demo videos always spark my day. Thank you for showing how YOU use these tools. The smallest adjustment in how we handle our implements can often escape our notice. Much thanks!

[@ThisPaintingLife]

I'm so glad to help :)

Thanks Louise, like many of yr viewers im always inspired after watching yr wonderful videos. Lets get started!🙂👍👍👍

[@ThisPaintingLife]

Wonderful!

[@traces2807]

Such a good way to put it, when talking about not being attached to something. It frees you in so many ways. It struck a chord with me, as last month I did a massive clean up after our daughter moved across the country. I couldn't keep everything and as I was sorting through the piles, I had to make decisions about letting go of things. I learned it's hard, but I did it. I will try this in my art practice, thanks Louise.❤

[@ThisPaintingLife]

I think we all battling that feeling of letting go at some point. Glad I could be helpful. ♥

[@barbarageis1728]

Thank you Louise! Such a fun! I work a lot with the first shown metal tool of the hardwear store. I have them in a lot of different sizes. I love it when my colors are mixing together during the painting process and make new nuances of color...and the best...you do not have to clean brushes...just wipe it of.

[@ThisPaintingLife]

So glad you liked it x

Hi Louise 👋 new subscriber! I really enjoyed watching your process! I have recently returned to painting after a 4 year creative block and I have to say it is a blessed relief to be creative again phew! I am much calmer and happier as result. It was lovely to watch you create different textures using every day tools and implements ❤ enjoyed every minute of your tutorial 😀 TYSMFS

Beautiful textures, Louise. As always! What is that wonderful transparent dark color you are mixing with the yellow, if I may?

[@ThisPaintingLife]

I think that was black x

[@xencage]

@@ThisPaintingLife oh, silly me 🙃 I was thinking it was some brand of Paynes gray, or some other transparent dark.
