    I'm in Australia and currently trying to do your 'Finding Your Joy' Taster course. I'm struggling to keep up with the course and getting side tracked into painting things that are a combination of your lessons and my feelings (that seem to be coming out on paper). However I'm just discovering all your TH-cam videos which are so interesting and helping me as a beginner. Thank you!

    Hi Louise! this demonstration is very helpful in enjoying getting to know colours more and figuringout what I like and don't like. I also like the energy and movement of you physically on putting colours out and not doing just little squares which Ican only relate with my thinking part of the brain but not with my creative side.

    Louise thank you so much for this incredibly inspiring and thought-provoking video. You really spoke to my heart when you talked about showing up “for work “ even when we don’t feel our best. We show up and keep going because it IS a bit of a responsibility and a calling making art for the world. You just never know when or how your work will help, inspire or make a difference to someone.
    Your work and your videos are an inspiration to me and I love each and every piece you create!

    This is the most informative video. I love it. I want to push myself to use these colors. To me it looks like mud, but seeing how you mixed them to get a certain feeling. And when all these muddy colors all together, turns the painting interesting beautiful, different. Which is the end desired result. As you paint, I come to love it more & more. Also I am so I’m happy that I’m learning about how to use black color. So, Thank you so much for teaching us here on u- tube!
