Hello...What a beautiful painting! I tried going to your link of supplies above but the section to "sign up below for the guide" is not loading. I also tried getting there thru your home page on your website and it isn't loading there either. Is there somewhere else I can access it? Thanks 🙂

[@annamondragon2495]

I'm sooo excited to see you switch to landscape! That's what I'm more comfortable with,so for me this is very exciting 😀 I'll be watching,and waiting for new videos to come out! Thank you rinske for giving me,and so many others inspiration

[@IonaMoody]

I really like your new paintings. Very subtle colours and misty looking. I did really enjoy your previous paintings and the vibrancy and flow of the design. You are an amazing artist and whatever style you choose I am sure your followers will enjoy. You give such inspiration to everyone and you're not afraid of trying different things. ❤

[@nadinerohrick8515]

I began painting when I was 10 years old, I am now 70 years young. My art has changed in so many ways over the years. It is much like life, ever changing, ever evolving. It must change or we become stagnant. I have also learned after selling much of my work, that everyone of course has different tastes and view art in such different ways that we can never please everyone. And because of this, I now please myself and no longer worry about what others think. It should never be about profit or accolades. If you are enjoying what you do that is the main point. If not, you will find what does make your heart sing. After years of working with oils and acrylics I recently took up water colors, new challenges make us grow. I am loving the experience and don’t care what people think. Good luck and God bless.

[@Lola-pk4gx]

I’m 69 but I started with watercolour. The hardest medium in my opinion. I love my art it relaxes me 😊

[@desslovesart]

We are watching the ongoing evolution of an artist. What could be more encouraging for us?! I really enjoy the calm and quiet atmosphere and dialogue of your videos. You’re a joy to watch. Keep sharing with us! ❤

[@TracyBowman-Bowman4Art]

I love all your work and I think it’s great that you switch it up. It’s so fun to create something different and exciting and you are always very inspiring. I think Mike myself I’ve been very busy at late but when things start to settle down a bit I’m going to save this video so I can possibly Try to switch it up like you are and I would love to try to do something minimalist which I’ve always struggled with, but I enjoy very much your style of this landscape. I can’t wait to try it when I have time hopefully soon.

[@lmpotter13]

A true artist is not bound by one particular style, medium, genre. You are an ARTIST Rinske ❤

[@karydavis8288]

I am 67 years old now, started painting when I was 5 with finger paints. My Father is a talented realist portrait oil painter. As I grew up, taking classes in school, I found that My works could never compare with Papas. He would critique and help me to become better. But I never had the natural talent as him. So early on, about the age of 16, I noticed I had to find my own way in the art world. I worked with every medium I could get exposed to. Introducing Papa to the new art too. working in watercolor, clay, paper, ceramic, wood. He even went to classes with me. Papa is 93 now, can't paint any more, but I have such great connection with him starting with our time with finger painting and play doh , art has played a big part on our lives. He still thrived in oils and I found my love of abstracts. (which took Papa a while to appreciate being a realist) Do what you love!

[@susanjonesi4663]

This is the way I enjoy painting! I love minimalist painting. They can be so dramatic with just a few colors. Keep this up!!!!!

[@mimosaamk1954]

Dear sweet, sweet, Rinske. Your paints, paint brushes, and canvass are just the tools you use to express what's in your heart and soul. As your soul evolves, so does your artwork. You need no one's approval for you already have God's. Just enjoy the peacefulness it brings you and don't question it. ❤

[@sallyross2820]

I love the landscape paintings. I love the way you revolve your art. You are not doing the same thing over and over. The landscape might be my favorite

[@KelliSmith-mj5hc]

Your landscapes are on another level. Compared to botanicals ... apples and oranges. The calming effect of the landscape.. actually made me emotional. You don't need feedback. Your creative soul will lead you. Beautiful, Rinska. Can't thank you enough, for letting be part of this.❤

[@lechatbotte.]

You’re such an encouragement for all artists, to not get locked into one style or one form. Find yourself. Express yourself. Each iteration is better than the last.

[@WinnieDenmark-g7p]

Don’t ever doubt yourself - go on loving what you are doing -it is so beautiful♥️

[@RinskeDouna]

Ahw thank you so much!! I try too!

[@lindahamelin6366]

Hi Rinkse. I started painting when COVID hit. I never felt I was an "artist" but had so much fun watching your videos, taking your courses, I learned so much. Now, I still learn, evolve, along with you. Your spirit and soul is put onto canvas and, I'm sure I speak for everyone who follows you, we feel it. Keep being you! We are all artists! We all change, evolve! Love, love, your videos and talent. ❤

[@paulagoynes]

I love your botanicals but I’m also loving your landscapes. The way you blend the soft colors together gives it a watercolor effect. Keep evolving and growing in your artistry. ❤

[@nadyalamara2846]

Whichever style you do, your talent shines through. Whether Dutch pour, botanical or abstract landscape, your art is absolutely stunning. Thank you for sharing your artistic evolution with us. It's a real privilege I look forward to every week💮💮💮

[@Deemcdonnacha]

This is so serene and beautiful ❤ I love all your artwork. I’m currently going through an episode of severe depression. Watching these new pieces come to life is very calming. I find your voice is very therapeutic. Thank you Rinske.

[@eileenferguson465]

Just absolutely love how you start with a blank canvas and then create something marvellous simply out of nothing. This is superb!!! Love watching you create each week

[@jeanstockman6894]

I have to agree with many of your other followers, I love that your art evolves. I have been following you and a few other artist since the beginning of the fluid Art takeoff, years ago. I have stopped watching a few of them because they haven’t evolved. Still the same very rigid Dutch pours. I can understand coming back occasionally to them just for fun, but not day after day. You and your art inspired many of us to step out of our comfort zones and remember to experiment and play, and enjoy our art. Thank you.

[@jass07-12]

Hi Rinske, do what you feel you have to do...We are here for you as you have done so much for us all these years 😘❤

[@janebrownell6828]

Sometimes less is more, is the way to go. These are beautiful.

[@barbaragraham9961]

I love the new paintings. It’s always nice to see changes. It doesn’t mean I didn’t like the botanicals. It just means I like more than one style. I like a mixture of styles.

[@suewhite3170]

You paintings are very calming. I have been watching you for the past few years and am always inspired. Don't be afraid to try something new.😊 It's part of the evolution of an artist ❤

[@bellapetalart]

I love love love this Rinske. You call yourself struggling. But I see perfection. I also love hearing you explain your own thoughts. I paint this same way and it’s my fave, I hate posting just I’m not a good talker like you. Thanks for being so honest and sweet ❤️🙏🏼

[@pennyhaase744]

We ❤❤❤ you Rinske no matter how you great us or send us off for a moment or a time .

[@user-ri7bu4fv6y]

Dearest Rinske, I've been watching your videos from the beginning, but have never commented. I'm a HUGE fan of your artwork and love EVERYTHING you do. I've even taken your Dutch Bloom and Botanical courses--as well as your collaborative course w/ Molly and Olga. Each new direction adds another dimension to your artistry. There is so much beauty and serenity in your landscapes. Watching you create them is my weekly meditation therapy session! ❤❤❤

[@carmelvandriel8468]

Love watching and learning. I like the way you are honest with showing how you too, sometimes have doubt about where to put the next stroke, but you are brave! I like that! And you have a delightful giggle and carefree spirit. Thank you Rinske for sharing.

[@rebeccazephyrin8114]

Let me start with saying enjoy your holiday with the family. I’m loving your adventure into landscapes watching your paint is so relaxing and this way you have more time to express your thought process. Thank you x x x

[@muscavarose1298]

We all have exciting and peaceful moments in our lives. Your artwork is an expression of those moments. I love ❤️ the landscapes and your botanicals and pours. As an artist, for best results, you have to be true to what you feel in that moment. Your artwork exemplifies your authenticity. 😊

[@RinskeDouna]

THANK YOU!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@suebradford374]

Every painting you create is beautiful. I’m happy to be able to experience your transitions and I love that you share your thought process. I look forward to each and every video wondering where your creativity will take you..

[@dawnvavra5992]

Rinske, you are an amazing artist. All your work is inspiring and motivates us to try new things. Yes some styles appeal to me more than others but I love watching you. The softness and serenity of your teaching reminds me of a beach and feeling a soft breeze. As the breeze picks up I become more excited and want to practice what you have taught. At the moment I am working through your botanical course and loving it. I always check the thumbs up icon but don't write a comment because of filling up your page. I WILL change that. Comments, here I come!🥰

[@kellyharms6811]

Love seeing you grow and try new styles. So many artists just stick with what’s been successful and sells. These landscapes are really amazing and it’s great to see your techniques and your struggles so we can learn to keep pushing through the “stuck” moments.

[@RinskeDouna]

So many stuck moments HAHA! But in the end that makes it so fun and challenging. Love it. Thank you so much!❤️

[@angelaesparza-mabry9421]

Love watching I’ve been watching you for several years and I can truly say that I look forward to seeing what new ideas and designs you have come up with. Keep coming up with new ideas

Rinske -- I love what you're doing now. The minimal affect is awesome. No matter what you do, your paintings are always beautiful and very interesting. I love to see how you go from one kind of painting and then onto another. I have always learned so much from you.

[@maryannenelson-loefke3990]

I am thrilled about your new painting era. Both paintings are incredible. I especially love the pink, yellow and turquoise blue! I'm excited each week to see another video. Also have a great trip to Belgium

[@katysimcock2299]

I love this new style of art you are doing Rinske. You always make it look so effortless so when you say you are struggling with anything at all in your paintings it makes me feel that you too have struggles and I’m not the only one lol. But seriously these painting series is beautiful and so calming for me to watch. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@DebbiePagtalonia]

Rinske, I love your minimal pieces! This piece is gorgeous!

[@RinskeDouna]

🩷🩷🩷 thank you!!!

[@mistywhite9128]

I wanted to let you know that I used to watch you a lot during the Dutch pours and I watched a few of your botanicals, but I didn’t have the brush that you had and so I I didn’t watch it very long but when you came out with this new pieces I’m so fascinated and I love watching them. I love watching the landscape and I love how minimal it is and how doable it feels to me.

[@sunyayar]

Landscape paintings are good. But I love your Botanical paintings and I watch your videos for every day. You are the best artist, I am your fun!!!😍

[@bonnieand1]

Dear Rinske, I cannot thank you enough for being an inspiration to us ❤. Your artwork allows us to see the amazing human being you are. I hope you enjoy together with your family les Ardennes belges 😍😍

If you feel it, it never can be wrong. Enjoy this landscape painting. They're so magical and beautyfull .I love it.I'm following you here, too, but for me IT'S time for botanicals. I enjoy the process of learning how to do it. Changing the path can open the horizon for the beautyfull nature and new ways of painting. HAVE FUN AND ENJOY. P.S. I want to say congratulations to you, hope you're fine and healthy. I whish you all the best.

[@RinskeDouna]

Oh thank you so so much! Your message is beautiful! Oh yes goooo with the botanicals, still love them so much too! Lots of fun and satisfying! Im doing well now, had some rough months, with an old whiplash. But lots of improvement there and feeling fit❤️

[@desireehfluidart]

Interesting watching you change and evolve. I do love this style as it is so soft, beautiful and warm. You taught me how to paint almost 2 years ago and I’ve also evolved to the style that fits with how I feel. Thank you Rinske. ❤🌺

[@suz-d]

Am always thrilled watching your process and how you’ve changed and grown as an artists and I’m personally grateful that you so generously share your talents and insights to teach and spread a love of art. Thank you ❤️

[@irmaclark3533]

I absolutely LOVE your minimalistic landscapes. It was so calming and mesmerizing to watch you create it. I fell in love with your work when I first started following your Dutch pour paintings, and everything you created since then has been gorgeous. I hope we get to see that lavender one you've been working on as well. I can't wait to watch more of your videos. Thank you for sharing your art with us. 😍🎨💜

[@deecarlisle5938]

Love the softness of these pieces. You are so brave. Everytime you add more paint I stop breathing. Your talent for transitioning between styles amazes me!

Love this! I love abstract landscapes. Usually I am drawn to brighter, more vibrant colors, but I truly love the softness and calm of this one!

[@donnaanderson4161]

I love all your paintings no matter what style. I’m so happy you keep reinventing yourself and keep your art fresh and new. Always an inspiration to me. ♥️

[@marlenemccullough1567]

Rinske, I love the abstract landscape painting, wasn't much for the botanicals but would watch occasionally; I do love these as I am very partial to landscape and ocean art. I love all your endeavors and watch your videos when I can. Thank you for sharing your work with us.

[@lindakirton1998]

I love your new direction! The muted soft palette is so pleasing to my eyes. Paint your passion, Rinske! You are always an inspiration to me.

[@spiritsoulbody352]

Omg Rinske I’m loving this new technique era! I really like the flow of how the acrylic wash can go and think I could really get into making paintings again with this. It’s so freeing and going with the flow with this painting! 😍

[@RinskeDouna]

Thank you so much!! Yes so free! ❤️

[@RinskeDouna]

Thank YOU!!!❤️

[@teripay3342]

You were the first fluid artist I found at the beginning of my art journey (during the Dutch Pour era) and you blew me away. I have learned so much about choices, techniques, "mistakes" and directions from you. Your courses are so helpful, and just being able to follow your process has changed my life. These abstracts are making me feel like I can also try something new. Thank you so much for sharing your creative genius.

[@HortensiaBaguer]

I am 74 & started painting 3 years ago, only Can paint in summer is where I can use a space until it gets too cold for me. I absolutely loved your Botanicals & I’m trying them out…in process …but I liked your new minimalistic painting, very soothing, calming colors…love it & it’s good to be evolving in your art work!

[@gracewhitaker8399]

I love watching your artistic evolution.

[@lorraineburton-tp5cw]

I love this new style, you make it look so easy and effortless, very talented lady. ❤

[@momviolin]

Dear Rinske, As the saying goes... "You do You!" Of course someone with your talent needs to continue to expand your horizons, even if we newbies can't quite keep up! I have only been painting for 8 months and LOVE your Dutch Pour class, although I have yet to get a flower worth resining. I would not dream of doing botanicals, let alone landscapes yet. Maybe in a few years. Still, you are always fun to watch.

[@KathrynWoods-un2qm]

Hi Rinske! I love the new direction you are taking. I love seeing artists change and grow. Good Luck with everything and I will watch as often as I can! ❤

[@SusanMMattei]

I love watching you paint. This series is absolutely beautiful. Love all the colors light and dark.
