  • In this video, I am playing with paint as a way to express feeling, without any intention to make finished paintings. This is one of the ways I spark ideas for myself.
    I am on a mission to help artists find their own unique voice and make exciting, original artwork that is truly unique. If this sounds exciting, join my weekly artist's newsletter at www.louisefletcherart.com/con...
    Each week, I share tips, tricks, advice, and inspiration to help you take your art to the next level.

    Watching you paint so quickly & so brilliantly nudges me to go faster with reckless abandon! I'm so excited to get started after 1 year of travel & very little painting . Did your FYJ last year and still do the exercises you taught ..... your voice is still inside my head ! Thank you for sharing so generously your wealth of knowledge & experience .

    I really appreciate the fact that you're keeping it real and showing your work space as it is . . splattered and colorful . . . and that you didn't clean it up and make it pretty for filming. Making art is messy. Keeping it real. Thank you.

    Wow, I love the way you work Louise! When I think of the years I've spent painstakingly working with fineliners and watercolour trying to get it absolutely perfect and accurate yet never really feeling like I was creating, just copying. It was a revelation watching you paint and I'm so excited to give it a go and have some fun. I feel like Tigger now 😃

  • @1995Benzo

    I absolutely love these. You've reminded me of something I learned from one of my mentors. When painting abstracts, bounce back and forth between wash/brush layers and touch/mark making layers. I've been sculpting and haven't painted in 10 years. I'm excited to make 2 3'x4' paintings for my newly remodeled kitchen/dining area. Thanks for sharing 🙏

  • @nancystockmann7264
    @nancystockmann7264 2 роки тому

    I absolutely love to watch you paint so freely...and I love the results! I think that's what the gelli plate and my little collaged cubes have done for me...my scribbled graffiti cubes are my favorite for now. Your courses gave me the desire to just go for it. I have never been able to labor over getting it right and felt like " right" was not in me. Freedom is...I think this is the one area of my life where I just play and enjoy the magic that happens. If there's anyone out there who has not yet signed up for your free course, they don't know what they're missing. Forever in your debt...Nancy

    Louise, I'm so looking forward to a "refresher" of the FYJ Taster. I completed both FYJ and Find Your Voice (FYV) last year and I'm in the process of repeating the entire FYV. Having this ability to go back and redo for a full year has been wonderful. The content was invaluable and your teaching style is just wonderful and works well for me. My artwork & enjoyment just continue to grow! I also found/find that the input from my peers in these classes helpful. Your Coaches play an important role and help make the entire FYJ experience a positive one. Thank you for all you do!

    Louise thank you for sharing your way! Love your sentient of gestures and marks of self coming out of you. Kind of a capture of the inner rapture w/ blind abandon into the joyous light of an embodiment of freedom. Woo hoo - tally ho onward and into the play zone. Thank you for a message that speaks of not being saturated in a self imposed prison of attachment to desired outcomes. That doesn't hold the key......the process, the process....of being in life with yourself.
