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.

@laurab.newmark2411 2 года назад

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 .

@charlynnthrockmorton8779 2 года назад

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.

@marlenequigley7476 Год назад

This is exactly what I need! I'm excited to begin the course!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

@raerae6422 2 года назад

Holy frig! Fascinating to see you express yourself in this new, extra joyful way. Your colours, smaller brushes and value ratio floats my absolute boat!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

I'm so pleased!

@Daisy-Jay 2 года назад

Letting a little daylight in on the magic freedom in intuitive mark-making - so much achieved in so little time - this is a great lesson, super inspiring & so accessible - thank you!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Glad you enjoyed it!

@debtempleton9424 2 года назад

What a wonderful inspiration you are Louise - and a fantastic teacher. Can't wait for the free course - I'm hoping it may move me away from thinking that everything I paint is complete rubbish!! Thank you for your generosity. Cheers.

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

It will if you let it - I promise :)

@JackieBernardi 2 года назад

Hi Louise - I’ve been looking forward to this class with so much excitement since I’ve signed up. I haven’t really practiced any type of art for nearly 9 years and this feels like the perfect re-entry for me. Thank you for the offering!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Wonderful! Let's have some fun!

@dillydale1 Год назад

you are a Gift! Thank you!!!

@ThisPaintingLife Год назад

Aww thank you for your kind words.

@bevjack1 2 года назад

it is sheer joy to watch your artistic freedom. If I learn one whit of that, I'll be forever indebted. Can't wait.

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

You will!

@emmahaskins9704 2 года назад

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 😃

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Thank you so much! I am thrilled to hear that

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

You’re welcome 😊

@contentminimalist4838 2 года назад

Thankyou, Thankyou so much. I am genuinely seeking freedom from myself and others in my art. I am grateful for what you teach. It's making a difference for so many of us. I am seeking to find my artistic voice.

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Wonderful!

@lizmccowage8031 2 года назад

You make it look so easy. Looking forward to getting back to painting, cheers Liz

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

You can do it!

@nancystockmann7264 2 года назад

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

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

I am so happy to hear that :)

@annrubino6252 2 года назад

Can't wait to start painting with you Louise. Your messages are starting to take hold and I really feel ready to let loose!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Oh exciting!!

@sarigoldberg2499 2 года назад

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!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

I'm so pleased!

@sharonstratis2846 2 года назад

I agree with everything you said and I'm doing the same-repeating the Taster after doing FYJ & FYV last year. Looking forward to it!

@samanthalawrence2416 Год назад

Love it ! Especially the mark making.

@ThisPaintingLife Год назад

Thanks so much!

@joanmoody3009 2 года назад

SO so fabulously TRUE!

@jenbarbour8240 2 года назад

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.

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

You are so welcome jen!

@Fidelabstractfineart 2 года назад

Yummy, love it! The freedom is a gift to ourselves.

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

So true!

@1995Benzo Год назад

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 🙏

@ThisPaintingLife Год назад

So glad you enjoyed it!

@pambell6403 2 года назад

@jamesbarker7360 2 года назад

Love the freedom. Reminds me of Natalie Dadamio. Totally different style, but similar energy. Liberation that I hope to glimpse during your course. Looking forward to starting on Friday!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

I don't know who that is but will check her out. I am looking forward to it too - see you then!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Yay, thank you!

@yvonnewagner5322 2 года назад

Just so you know, I had a tight tight abstract I was unhappy about so I taped off sections of it and made marks across the tape lines while listening to this video. When I peeled off the tape I was so much happier with the result! Brilliant. Thank you!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Wonderful!

@lou9007 2 года назад

I can't wait!! I've got to learn how to paint all over again, physical rubbish, not having done anything for 4 months which feels more like 4 years I've frozen blank paper fear, it's my second time doing FYJ it couldn't have come along at a better time 😀

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

I can't wait to see what happens!

@aliveinchrist1455 2 года назад

I'm excited to fo this as going to art college is squashing it all out of me!!!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

We will get you freed up again!

@five17digital71 2 года назад

I really appreciate what you said about not needing to know why (at least right now) you like the painting the way it is. You just know you like it.

@ThisPaintingLife Год назад

Sometimes that has to be enough x

@judithstadler4219 2 года назад

Your demo is so inspiring. And it makes me so excited for the Find YourJoy taster.

I love these, reminds me of scribbling on the wall when I was a child and got in so much trouble, got my crayons taken away, I hid some for later cause this is something I just must do no matter what

@candacehammond6509 2 года назад

These are great Louise. I would buy them. They are so gestural. I hope people get it. Cheers.

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Thanks! Some people will get it - the right ones :)

@staceygrimes4107 2 года назад

I love the freedom and the joy you express! I also love the way the painting looks when you remove the tape! Do you ever tape your canvases? Much love,💗stacey

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

No, I work on wood panels and I frame them to get that effect

@donnaadams1479 2 года назад

Thank you Louise! I need to be looser in my paintings. Your videos are helping me see the possibilities available.

Oh my giddy Aunt! I can't tell you how much I love this video - and the end results. If I saw one of those pieces at a market or something, I would be sorely tempted to purchase one. I'm so hoping to do your course if you do it later this year.

@ThisPaintingLife Год назад

Thank you so much!

@maureenburger9121 2 года назад

Thanks Louise! Joy and freedom. I hope I can get to your mindset of not worrying about what others think, and not caring about selling a art…because I DO want to sell my art!

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

I hope so too!

@cradlecap123 9 месяцев назад

Thanks Louise. Pinched the blue painters tape on the borders idea. When it's taken off they look like Giclee prints. Thanks for all your content and knowledge. Slowly going through all your videos.

@lynnmcneill5831 2 года назад

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

Thanks for that - not everyone sees that but I love when someone does!

@nancylouhill2029 2 года назад

You are such a good teacher ! I have taken 2 previous Free courses from you and always leave inspired. Question : How did you go from painting for yourself to selling your art? Do galleries know when they see someone’s art that its likely to sell?

@ThisPaintingLife 2 года назад

That is a way bigger question than I can answer here but there are lots of answers in my art community www.louisefletcherart.com/art-tribe
