Hi Marie Louise. I've watched many of your videos over the past few years. And I realize that the reason I'm re-watching them is not just because of the artistic content. It's because of who you are as an artist and a human. Your videos are an authentic expression of someone who is a teacher but also a learner. Personally, I find I can quickly get lost in different methods and approaches to creating, which is super fun but also confusing. I can be sure that in your videos I will find a quiet humble approach to expression and honest artistic exploration. I love it that your motivation comes from the beauty that you see around you. Keep doing what you love to do. And keep sharing the joy of creatiing. Life is beautiful but it can also be very hard. Thank you so much for sharing what you learn, and for encouraging us to take heart, to not be afraid, and to understand that all is well. With much thankfulness and respect , Jennifer James-McGinn (Canada).
What a sweet, kind and thoughtful comment. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts it's very encouraging to know that the videos are indeed helpful, so thank you for your support - it gives me energy to keep making more videos. Thanks for watching and many greetings from Denmark
Hi Marie Louise. Your B/W paintings really remind me of when I was a photographer specialising in B/W and how much it gave me. I will now try it with paints. Thank you your inspirational videos.
This was terrific - in word and deed! The primacy of process is a key element to removing fear - it gives us 'freedom within a framework' - but one has to work at reassuring our neurons and learned behaviours that this is creating new ways of seeing and responding. Thank you very much.
Thanks so much for the ongoing wonderfully thoughtful videos. You're a gentle teacher and a wise painter. I am self taught and am learning more from you than any of the other painters on UA-cam. Thank you so very much for your ONGOING generosity!
Thank you for this video. I have been feeling quite overwhelmed with all the colour choices and decisions. This will get me back to basics and learning value and contrast 😊
Oh I so agree with you about how painting can be a challenge and it doesn’t always work out the way you imagined it would. Struggling with a painting can bring on new discoveries and techniques you perhaps hadn’t thought of. Personally I would find it quite boring and lose interest if it all came together perfectly every time I painted. And yes, adding layers is a great way to make your work more interesting. Thanks again for another great video!
I totally agree, if every painting worked out it wouldn't be the same. And although I really don't enjoy the struggle I now I need it and the result is so much sweeter. Thanks for your support Ed, I appreciate it!
As always, thank you for the inspiration. I recently had the desire to do a group of black-and-white with a hit of 1 color like paynes gray or the siennas… I have also started using my acrylics on paper with interesting results. thank you!😊
Beautiful as always! I'm always blown away at the feeling you can create with just black and white. And I honestly didn't know about zinc white or at least that it was translucent!! I am new to this as you know and wondered why all the different names for white, just thinking some were more white then others, but didn't know they could also be translucent! That would so useful! Always learning!! Thanks so much!!!
Hello everyone! In today’s video I explore the minimalist landscape focusing on values and texture. Hope you get inspired to try your own minimalist landscape & have a great weekend :) ►► My ONLINE COURSE www.danishpainter.com
Thank you so much for posting your work. I am head over heels in love with your process; I do pastels and do all of my mark-making with writing, and I feel your videos and classes will help me immensely with that process. I will definitely be taking them this winter.
Thank you for sharing your teachings and encouragement to explore and take risks. Just what I needed. Also, your command of the English language is remarkable and sadly far superior to many of our native speakers.
You are very talented and inspire me greatly as an artist. When you aren’t speeding it up, about how long does it take you to do a painting you are satisfied with?
I love your work. Here’s my question. I do I stop painting “a picture” rather than a feeling. I can paint loosely and expressively for a while but then I start fiddling with details and get little and tight. How do I leave it….. I know the answer is probably to just stop but I find it difficult to do.
Wow! One of my favourites. I just love this black and white tonalism. And I love the way it looks in your sketch book when you take the tape away and it’s finished. Can you tell me how you sign your paintings please Marie Louise?
I'll usually sign both on the front and the back. Paintings on paper might be in pencil or permanent ink, it depends on the colors and my mood ;-) I used to sign my whole name. Then it was just my initials on the front. Now it's my last name on the front and my full name on the back.
Thank you for sharing this. I am wondering if you have additional videos of paintings in black and white. I watched your glazing method and glazing is something that is difficult for me, so I appreciate your video on glazing as well.-K
Glad it was helpful to you. At the moment I only have 2 videos on black and white painting. This one and then a video where I paint the black and white painting I later use in the glazing video Perhaps you already saw that one but if not here's the link it: ua-cam.com/video/HNJal59U1TU/v-deo.html
Beautiful work! Do the water soluble crayons and pencils stay on the paper(do not disolve) when you paint glazes over them, or when you varnish the painting after you finish painting? Does this work on canvas also? Any specific crayons or pencils recommended?
Beautiful work. I want to ask if we should use water color paper for this type of work or paper made especially for acrylic paints? and one more thing is that I have water soluble pencils of Faber Castle. Do you think I should buy crayons too if I follow your tutorial? thanks
Yes you can, both types of paper should work fine - just use what you already have on hand. Your Faber Castle watercolor pencils should also work fine, no need to buy any new materials (unless you want to of cause) Hope that helps and happy painting :)
Thank you Dennis, that’s very kind of you. The masking tape is from the paint store where they sell house paint etc. It’s called Suncore Pro by Shuller Ehklar and I believe it’s a German brand. It’s a bit expensive but I reuse it several times - that why you’ll see the tape has lots of paint on it in my videos. The paper is 140lb/200 gram acid free sketchbook paper but watercolour paper would also work fine.

I'm so glad I've discovered you, I love the way you're adding texture and explaining your process. I'm inspired!
That makes me really happy - thank you SO much for your thoughts and feedback! 🎨
It's really reassuring us about how pain is part of the process of growing as an artist. thank you
I'm so glad you think so. Thanks for watching :)
Great demonstration of the importance of value. Thanks!
As always, thank you for the inspiration. I recently had the desire to do a group of black-and-white with a hit of 1 color like paynes gray or the siennas… I have also started using my acrylics on paper with interesting results. thank you!😊
This one is really gorgeous. Minimalist yet full of imagination and energy. :-)
I love your work and watching you paint! Rock on, lady!
Thanks for watching Mary! Greetings from Denmark :)

Go for it, you can do it! Thank you for watching and get those painting supplies out :)
Wonderful work 👍 👍
Thank you, that is very nice of you 😊⭐️
I love your work. Here’s my question. I do I stop painting “a picture” rather than a feeling.

I’m new to your channel and I’m so glad I discovered it. You are an amazing artist and I am learning so much by watching you. Thank you
Yay thats awesome Lisa ☀️🎉 thanks for watching 🎨
Every great abstract painting has to have “stuff” behind it = layers
Wow! One of my favourites. I just love this black and white tonalism. And I love the way it looks in your sketch book when you take the tape away and it’s finished. Can you tell me how you sign your paintings please Marie Louise?

Come sempre molto utile e detagliata la lezione!
Grazie per il tuo commento e buona settimana :)
I love your work. Thank you the tutorials are excellent and very inspiring.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback Juliet. I’m glad you find them
helpful 😊
Do you apply gesso on your paper before you begin painting? What paper are you using? Thank you for your videos.😊
Thank you for sharing this. I am wondering if you have additional videos of paintings in black and white. I watched your glazing method and glazing is something that is difficult for me, so I appreciate your video on glazing as well.-K

Your videos are very inspiring , thank you. What masking tape and which paper are you using???
Thank you Dennis, that’s very kind of you. The masking tape is from the paint store where they sell house paint etc. It’s called Suncore Pro by Shuller Ehklar and I believe it’s a German brand. It’s a bit expensive but I reuse it several times - that why you’ll see the tape has lots of paint on it in my videos.
The paper is 140lb/200 gram acid free sketchbook paper but watercolour paper would also work fine.
do you ever paint with oils?
What was your reference photo or sketch ?
What was your reference?
Very wise and encouraging words in this video. Thank you!

Art is simply a talent, cannot be taught. Please stop trying to teach people what isn't possible.
It’s all about practice. Anyone can do it. Some of us take longer than others.
