    Delighted you're going to be on Patreon and can't wait to follow you! I just want to give you a heads up about the problems your followers might encounter if you're not careful about how you organize and name your separate projects. I followed an artist on there for a while, but her work was organized so poorly with multiple projects all with the same name, that it became impossible to easily find the various parts to a project. Patreon doesn't have a search engine to help followers track specific things -- so it's all up to the creator to begin their organization as they mean to go on or it quickly gets out of hand. Good luck with Patreon! I LOVE your style!

    I love the way you paint and the reasons why. I am a beginner. I've painted in oils and acrylics (more of the one stroke method). Would it be better to find someone who teaches on a more structured type of teaching such as beginner tutorials and the graduating to more challenging or do you teach that way or think it best to join patreon and go from there. You explain and show things so nicely and it looks like I could jump in and practice and practice until I get it right. I must admit I love learning from you.

    • @LouiseDeMasi
      @LouiseDeMasi  5 років тому

      Hi Delores. I take my students step by step through each tutorial and I explain everything I'm doing. If you have had experience painting before you will probably catch on fairly quickly. I have a few beginners who seem to be coping ok on Patreon but one has found my classes a little too advanced for her. I also have a lot of beginners who do my Skillshare classes even though they are geared towards intermediate painters. There are no contracts and you can leave at any time on both Skillshare and Patreon so if you are keen you can try and then if you find them too difficult you can always leave (even though I'd hate to see you go.)
