Laura Horn, I love your artwork! I first learned about you by way of your podcast which I instantly fell in love with you and your husband. I have taken just one of your classes so far but that really lit a fire in my art work. Thank you for how generously you share your talent with us.

[@LauraHornArt]

Thank you 🙏 I love it when a creative fire is lit!!

My favorite place to watch is KZbin. It just seems to be where I end up. I especially love your tutorials-I learn so much (you do such an excellent job of explaining things for those of us who are just getting started), but I also simply enjoy watching to relax. Your beautiful accent and gentle and kind spirit along with the gorgeous art you’re creating bring such peace as I watch. Thank you for all you do!

[@leestone7663]

Love this technique…saving this video to watch again

[@LauraHornArt]

Brilliant, you can take it in so many different directions!!

Laura!!! Good on you, lovely & talented lady for starting out on your new adventure! I read your letter and immediately felt so much excitement to learn of the changes you're now in the process of making. I love your work and all you have to offer......such as this new video! I personally enjoy your videos simply because I learn so much from your unique view & style. However, I also enjoy artist chats, practical tips & studio tours. I've never heard one of your podcasts, yet I'm certainly 'up' for wherever your heart leads you. A most wonderful & HAPPY NEW YEAR to you & your family.

Thank you for showing how to paint negative space. I have seen various artists on IG use this technique in their work and wondered how it was achieved. Love this botanical piece and the colour palette ♥️🌿
