Hi Louise! Oh I love love love these! Especially the pink ones 💗 your stringy one is very cool! The last one you showed us, you could maybe use a green oil pastel? Only a suggestion...perhaps a mossy green? Anyway I love them all and already subscribed 💕 TUFS 😁

[@JesseDeb]

@@LouiseJannetta We missed you💐

[@mountainsno]

Very excited to see this uploaded and loved every minute. I have been experimenting with your work as my teacher/influencer. Your pieces have really resonated with me today and Im off to my workspace to play. I look forward to seeing more of what you make. I really admire your skills particularly in the Korean and Japanese paper techniques. AND colour choices. I struggle with colours but I am learning the colour mixes and I get mud less often. Hope you are good. We are cold here in Western Australia which makes painting a little less exciting because I do it in a shed. But Id rather be painting than anything else.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Thanks for the lovely feedback, much appreciated XXX Sooo glad you like it and many thanks for watching. Good luck with all your creativity. It's lovely here but I know what you mean about winter. I just wear loads XXXX😊

[@LouiseJannetta]

Oh and if you struggle with colour try to keep thing simple at first like more mono colour work and then add in colours that really interest you XXX. I had a brilllian piece of advice once, - "to make bright colours only mix the warm colours (red based) with other warm colors or the cold ones9 blue based) with only cold colours. If you mix warm with cold then they tend to turn more earthy. XX😀

[@sharonlockwood1825]

I love all your techniques but especially the string one, #4.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi again Sharon, its a great process with loads of potential, you will surely find a loads of ideas yourself. Good luck XXX Enjoy x😀

[@MaryGadsby]

Great to see you back, it’s always wonderful and inspiring to watch you. I’ll simply second all the other beautiful comments already posted

[@LouiseJannetta]

Hi Mary. Thanks for watching and your kind support. Been so busy this summer but all good. It's great that things are slowly getting back to some sort of normal xxxx. Keep well and all the best.

[@HeatherEspley-qn8ly]

Hello Louise. I really loved this video and I am taking so much from it to push my experimentation. Thank you for making it such a joy to watch.

[@LouiseJannetta]

Glad it was helpful! And many thanks for watching xxx

[@morningdewgarden7432]

I do sooo love the very subtle colours that you use in this video!! I am not yet comfortable in my self as an artist to even know how my paints will react the way that you seem to be. I am still finding new brands and colours that I didn't know were available. I have been experimenting with colour mixing and adding black or white to change hues and tints and it has been great fun experimenting!! I am a colour-aholic and am now trying to tone down my use of vivid colours and am even trying new to me, neutral palettes! I do love neutrals in my work but there's nothing like "in your face" brilliant purples, wines, reds and brilliant metallics!!

[@LouiseJannetta]

Sorry, I was on hols for a couple of days - back to it now. X A helpful tool for colour theory (probably necessary) is the colour wheel and some basic understanding of colour relationships. There are books that help you with all the ranges of colour tones and hues, from bright, intense colours to earthy hues, both warm and cold. 😀however colours are there to excite and to be loved so enjoy X
