How to Make Interesting Textures with Acrylic Paint
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- In this video I'm sharing how to create interesting textures and marks using acrylic paints. I LOVE brushes! I use them all the time. But I also like the different effects you can get by using unusual hardware store tools and things you find around the house.
It's REALLY important not to worry about making a painting when you are playing with new marks and textures .... that's why I am showing you something that definitely cannot be considered a painting ... playing is an essential part of my process and I firmly believe it needs to be part of yours too. I hope this video helps!

Thank you dear Louise!! very helpful stuff! :)
Just so wonderful……my idea of heaven, watching all these wonderful textures develop.
Aww so glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant. Thank you Louise.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I love this, it reminds me of the freedom and beauty of discovery!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much!
Love watching you play with different tools for marks.
More to come!
That bubble wrap was fire
❤❤❤
Love the orange paint on the face! Adorable! Xoxo
I'm trying to bust out of my anxiety riddled realism painting. Paying obscene amounts of attention to details, etc etc - and this was so helpful!! Thank you!!
I can go back and paint with a fresh eye. Thank you Louise!
You are so welcome!
It's a park in winter, a bit of wild nature in the city. I love it.
My roommate and I just sat outside at 10:30pm Saturday night and binge watched some of your Amazing videos. You are by far my favorite artist and I share you with all my artist friends. As I have told you before- your generosity in sharing your knowledge and skill and ideas is such a gift you give to all of us- especially Me! Thank You Dear Louise❤️ You are helping me grow my confidence as an artist. I hope you continue to create and share. I Love watching you mix paints and especially hearing you talk about your thought processes as you work on your pieces. Your thoughts about “nothing is ever wasted” and “never give up on a painting” is extremely helpful to me. Have a Great Week! Much love from one of your biggest fans- Jalyne in Utah USA ❤
Thank you so much ! Only just saw this but I so appreciate it :)
Love all of the ideas and suggestions for tools to use. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Very interesting! I love the the techniques. Thanks for sharing!
That was fun. Only one caution....bubble wrap is used by so many "artists" now, that it's no longer a clever trick or something we all haven't seen too often in my opinion. I like the way Louise still considered composition, balance, & variety even while "just playing".
Thanks Pj!
I will definitely be doing this with my students this semester! Merci!
Wonderful!
wonderful fun! I do love playing with the textures created by random tools. Thanks for the tip about saving the beautiful pieces of tape in a book! they inspire new color palette ideas!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed it
You are so awesome. Thanks to share your ideas with us.
Glad you like them!
you are a wonderful , divine artist,. The way intuition flows through your art is just mesmerizing. Thank You.
Wow, thank you!
You bring back the joy of discovery and play, you made me smile. Thank you:)
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm just starting as a painter and I was looking for techniques, inspiration, a style of painting and yours really speaks to me ! Thank you for your videos and for sharing your talent 😊
My pleasure 😊 And welcome to painting! You will quickly become enthralled. ❤
This was a great tutorial. Made it less stressful
So glad I could help!
Danke für die Tipps !
a very nice dome to inspire how to play with whatever materials available to you and explore
Love your attitude truly nothing is ever wasted, thanks
Aww thank you!
I love the end result. That crimson 😍
So inspiring to see you painting. I feel like happiness and want to start play with colors and different tools. Thank you for sharing! And your painting was so wonderful. Wow!!!
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! You have a true talent for taking the mystique and thus fear out of attempting art processes.
So glad you enjoyed them. ♥
I love it!!
Aww I'm so glad! Thanks for watching ❤
This has reminded me I can play at the beginning of a new piece, I’ve been feeling tight and intimidated by a bank board thinking I needed to get the loud conversation sorted out first - this suggests to me ok just play make marks its only layer one the curating and editing can come later! Thanks for the inspiration
Wunderbar!!!!🙋♀️✌👏👍🌹🍀💐🌺☘🌷🌻❤
Have you ever tried putting elastic bands around the painters foam roller? It produces some interesting textures and marks😊
Yes this is great. What I do is save the cardboard tubes off paper towels and cling wrap etc then wrap in string, beads, rubberbands etc making tools for continued use.....
@@rebeccabriggs2982 that is a great idea!
Thank you so much, Louise - so much inspiration in an early morning watch - and the “finished” result would have looked great on my wall!!! Jen❤️❤️
I actually really like it, lol!
Aww thank you! ♥
Love this! I have a huge glass bowl of all of my paint chips that I scraped off of all of my palettes from all of my paintings for the past 10 years lololol Artists are weird this I know.

thank you so much xx
Sono italiana, non comprendo una parola di quello che dici ma nonostante ciò, mi bastano i tuoi esercizi per aiutarmi moltissimo a capire come migliorare la mia passione per la pittura. Grazie davvero, sei la migliore.
Wow! So many good ideas! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much for showing us this🥰😍 It was very helpful for me and inspired me✨
You are so welcome!
Thank you, nice to see you working and thanks for sheating very good ideas about mark-making!!!
Sticking back the tape is a nifty trick. I always throw them away but from now on I'll always use them.
Glad you enjoyed xx
Excellent 👍
I really like the creative use of different things laying around! i guess it takes a lot of practice to master the harmonious combination of all these techniques on the canvas.
It does!
Forget to thank you for sharing your process, U are so kind!
I love that you’ve got paint on your face 🧡
What a terrific demonstration, Louise! Thank you so much for showing ways to make unusual marks with the most basic items. I can't wait to go experiment and see what evolves.
Glad it was helpful!
Fantastic,informative video! Excellent, thank you
Thank you for watching! ♥
I have watched this video several times and am amazed and grateful every time. You are so inspirational . Thank you so much.
Wow, thank you!
Fun and interesting to watch. Look forward to exploring and trying new techniques. Thanks for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you from Vancouver Island Canada! I will be trying and playing soon for fun in my art journal. Cheers, Kindle
I've just re-committed to art practice and this is pretty much the stage I am in, filling small sketchbooks w paint marks, colors, textures...thank you

Thanks so much, for all the different things you can use to create an abstract painting. Love ❤️ this 💙🤍💜 Cheers ☘️☘️☘️
You are so welcome! ♥
Great mark making video. Good idea using in your sketchbook.
I love going back and looking at the different stuff I did and being surprised by some of it x
Love all your demos . Thank you Louise😊
Aww thank you and you are so welcome!

So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! Fun and instructive.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks alot for sharing this is so beautiful👏👏👏

Love how creative and playful you are. Thanks so much
Thank you! 😊
Wonderful, Louise! Really appreciate your no waste approach.
Thank you!
What a fabulous piece at the end! And so much to learn from❤️🙏
Thank you so much for such an inspirational video
Fascinating! What wonderful fun! I think the finished piece is lovely.
Thank you! Cheers!
I really appreciate that you share all the parts of making a picture. I discovered in another video that I prefer cool greens, and use too many colors in my work. I love experimenting with non traditional tools but that comes along with doing collage and mixed media work. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful!
So fun and inspiring, big thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your hair looks great here, this style is definitely your style. (soz to say something personal, not my biz, but its so much better here in my humble op).
Awww thank you! ❤
perfect!!!!!!! looks like "safe" fun lol
Haha yes! Thanks for watching
I looove the idea of using the pieces of tape somewhere within the painting. Thank you.
You are so welcome!
I loved how you said that you don't take care of the brushes that's why you buy them from the hardware store ❣️
And those are great brushes and if you mess one up you can use it later in an art project because the handle is so pretty.
Absolutely!!
I love your wonderfull tips! It's so, so nice to see the development!! Thank you very very much!!
You are so welcome!
Thanks Louise I found this inspiring. I also love the tape from the edges too!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you so much for sharing. It is fascinating to watch the way you work. I just listened to the podcast earlier today about sharing your knowledge and techniques.
Fabulous lesson!! I actually love the painting you just did the way it is!!!! I am so glad I found you!! Thanks.
Thanks for posting these great inspiring ideas.
You are so welcome!
OMG you can't imagine how much I have learned with this video!! Thank you so much for sharing your techniques! Your are generous ❤️
You are so welcome!
Thank you. Love creating textures that is interesting. It adds value.
Glad it was helpful!
That was really helpful and so creative- I'm just starting to "play" with all sorts of objects and tools - Plus I really did like your final art piece. Very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks Louise for your enthusiastic teaching I knew zilch about abstract and layers ...have now more ideas that I will practice. May you continue in your gifting of motivating those hungry to learn .......Blessings . Margie.
Really enjoyed watching this Louise. It was really helpful. Thanks
Thank you, Louise! Really inspiring! 😍🙏♥️
Awww so glad you enjoyed it!
I watched this a few months ago and enjoyed it but having learned a little more in the interim I came back to this and got so much more out of it. So instructive and helpful. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this. I did some of this sort of thing about 2 years ago. Not sure why I stopped. You have inspired me to go back to it. Best R
Loved it-thank you!
So glad!
It is always good to have these reminders. And I love watching you paint. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Most of my mark-making tools are random unconventional painting tools.
Wonderful!
loved it! especially the idea of the hardware shop, as I don't look after anything and would be hopeless with expensive brushes!!
Absolutely!!
You are just sooo inspiring. I’m on the way as we speak to the garden, garage and kitchen. Thank you for all that you do.
Wonderful!
Thank you Louise, you are a jewel! You are a true inspiration! I love your videos!
Thank you so much!
This was fantastic! Thank you for posting helpful videos where you actually show your processes. Very helpful.
You are so welcome!
Mind blowing
Glad you enjoyed it
So inspiring I've watched the 2 videos that I've just found. God does have perfect timing because now I'm just going to get to painting just very soon. So thank you so much 👌🏼🙌🏼❤️
Good - try to do just a few minutes every day!
I just discovered you. I have been painting for 2 months and I am obsessed. You are amazing! Thank you for the inspiration I was looking for in my current piece. So great. So so great. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Looks like fun! And great ideas! Thank you!♥️
It was!
Loved this
So glad you enjoyed it!
I love this! I'd love to hear more about how you approach shape--what kinds of shape, where, why....
In this video it really wasn't an issue as I was just playing but that's a good idea for another video - thanks!
Great inspiration to feel free of boundaries! Thanks a lot! ❤
You're so welcome!
I found this really really helpful and inspiring. I realise that the FYJ course is about feelings rather than techniques or critiques, but actually seeing the practicalities explained like this is fantastically liberating. I just don't 'know' enough. I need permission to do crazy things... it literally extends my field of operation. I want more of this. I would like to know more about paper, canvas, board, books, pens, inks, paints, gels, toners, printing, etc etc.... I want to expand my operational area... without missing the potential of various materials through not-knowing. Thank you very much indeed.
Griselda Hi, did you find informative clips to help you learn more? Im looking for same. Doing FYJ22 now.
You have inspired me to be more free with my painting! Thank you...
I'm glad!
Thank Louise for great ideas to use on paintings.
Very inspiring! For me also to use some of the marks for monotype-printing!
It looks amazing! Loved the textures and colors that you used. Thanks!!!
Glad you like it!
Wonderful. Very inspiring 🙌 thank you for the motivation and insight.
I enjoy your demonstrations, they inspire!
Glad you like them!
I enjoyed this so much 👌🏻😊
I'm so glad!
