Do you ever struggle with a painting? I feel it's important to show that sometimes making a painting is a real challenge. That means also talking about the more difficult aspects of being a painter.
The response to my last video was very encouraging and resonated with a lot of you so the video this week is another heart to heart about the process of painting. It's my hope that it will encourage and inspire you to never give up on your creative dream! Being a painter it a fine balance of practice and inspiration and you can do it. I know you can do it! :-)
I'll also share the importance of experimentation and play when painting and creating artwork. And how I bring these elements into my own art making process and why it is such a powerful way to improve your painting skills and artwork.
I started this painting a few months ago and haven't worked on it since. I wouldn't necessarily say that I was stuck but my original idea had changed. I thought I was going in one direction with the painting but I lost the excitement I had for it. Take a look and see what I did to change all that and how you can use this approach on your own art making journey.

I so recognise these dilemma's while painting. I have a lot of unfinished canvasses which get put away until I have another inspiration for it. Some paintings work straight away, while others are a true labour... Thank you so much for your inspiration and tips. :)
Thank you, as always. You're really such a good teacher and sharing your process and decision making is really helpful. I feel inspired to going back to some of my (many!) blah paintings. Also I need to take a break from gouache which isn't allowing the organic layering process I crave. Thank you. PS I confess that I flung my notebook into the field the other day when plein air painting. I waded through the grasses, took a big breath and started again!
Oh I've definitely been there. I'm known for tearing up my work on paper from time to time LOL. And it does make me feel better momentarily ;-)
Honestly the act of painting can be such a mix of joy and frustration but it's the good bits that keep us coming back. Happy to hear you kept on going!

I really liked it around the 4 minute mark after you sprayed the water and made tree trunks! The end result is also lovely.
This was one of the most useful of your videos. The changes you made were small but important. I have started painting over some of the problematic sections of my own paintings and experimenting on how to take a different approach. Thank you for this very useful video.
Yay that's great. Thanks for watching Carla :-)
Another great tutorial. Yeah I’m just getting used to the idea of changing a painting and not worrying about ruining it. They have been sitting around for a long time, and not doing anything accomplishes nothing.
If there is one truth to the act of painting I feel it must be that some paintings come more easily and others take more time. It can often take me awhile to work up the right mindset to go and change a painting that's been very challenging. So I tend to do it in batches. I get out a few of the ones that have been sitting in the corner for awhile, get the big brushes out and then decide OK where do I go from here. My best advice would be to wait until you are in the right mood/mindset to make big changes and then go for it!
Thank you that Video was very helpfull
This was really helpful. Thank you Marie! 😊
Je vous découvre et vos paysages abstraits m'ont subjugué au point de m'y convertir car je découvre en eux le style que je recherchais véritablement. Je peins depuis à peine 3 ans et ce fût un peu compliqué pour moi car ça partait un peu dans tous les sens alors que là je m'éclate vraiment. Merci à vous et à votre générosité. Depuis la France.... Merci encore.
Amazing! Love to see how you change this painting. It was a wonderful lesson.
Thank you for sharing. Very encouraging.
I am very new to painting and this was both fascinating and encouraging. Seeing how to change the work was completely new to me. I look forward to going through of all of your lessons. Thank you.
I love it when you work on a larger painting, lots to learn.
Your work is stunning , such a natural style that just keeps getting better. Gifted .
Thank you kindly !
Love your paintings, I am trying to move from traditional landscape painting to more abstract landscape painting and this really help to get started
I love this. Thanks for keeping it real, this gave me hope.❤
Thanks Marie Louise, there is a painting where I like the foreground but the sky and clouds I’ve reworked twice, still not happy….I will sleep on this and try again tomorrow
Değişik bir çalışma
Ama çok güzel oldu
Paylaşım için teşekkürler 🌺🌺👍
Thanks , so helpful.
Enjoyed this, well done! :-)
I love the sky. Beach grass and a sun umbrella
Thank you.
The colours are lovely 💖
Enjoyed watching how you transformed this painting. It's looking great! Thank you for sharing your process - trusting the voice inside you.
I learn so much from you!
Thank you Kathe :)
A very interesting process, I can relate a great deal. I love the outcome, it is beautiful ~ Thank you.
I really like this work. The colors appeal to me.
It had a Erin Hanson feel. With the bright blue.
Hola me encanta verte con el papel retocando la pintura recien puesta, es una tactica que estoy adaptando, un abrazo desde Mallorca, me gust mas en retoque final, gran leccion y un gran cambio de diseño.
I’m so grateful to see someone struggling with their work. I get easily discouraged, and have many canvases turned to the wall. I feel motivated to try some new directions with them. Thankyou.
You can do it, I believe in you! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🎨
Thank you so much for sharing….this helped me heaps! ❤️
Yay! Thanks for watching :-)
This looks absolutely amazing you are so creative & talented! Thanks for sharing this beautiful painting with us! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Aww that's SO sweet of you! Glad you enjoyed it and greetings from Denmark 🌠
Very nice work. Also to note other artists who consider options and move in a non linear fashion when necessary.
Glad I found your videos
👍🇨🇦😎
Very cool, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching Brian and greetings from Denmark!
This sky is amazing, as always!!!
I love your bravery to just go in an completely change up what wasn't working for you. Even when you're not positive what wasn't, just that something wasn't so you go for it, I love that! I tend to get so nervous to mess thing up even more that, as I probably said last week, I get frozen and afraid to start over in spots. But I love having you show that for sure. If I ever get my art up it'll probably ALL be about my mess up's as I have a lot ;) But I love seeing your process because so many make it seem as if perfection just always comes out without thought or working at it...they show a bit and then boom, perfection. So when that's most definitely NOT how it typically works for me, I figure I must just not be good enough (I know I'm not and that I have LOTS to learn) or that if it doesn't just flow out perfectly then I'll never be a true artist. I made this remark on another artists video where I always thought a "true artist" just took out paint and just had a masterpiece fall out of their hands. It wasn't until my mom, like 5 years ago, bought me a simple class to paint an ocean hitting rocks, and he said to just roughly sketch some basics into the canvas (I used a very very small canvas board as I was already convinced I'd make it a disaster) but I shocked myself when the sketch looked as I'd intended because my whole life i told myself I was never good enough and definitely not good enough to draw or paint. So that made me try drawing and fell in love, then watercolor and acrylics and trying anything I could. It had never occurred to me that someone might sketch a bit on a canvas to get their idea down....I thought it just happened. 😊 so seeing professional artists go back over something or admit to the feeling of knowing you don't like something but not sure what (my constant mantra🤣) helps so much to feel that I can still learn and it doesn't have to be perfect the first go around :)
As always, you're such a huge help to me and so many and I appreciate SO much you're putting yourself out there and going to all this effort to share your experiences!
Hope you're doing well!!!!🥰💕
I think probably most artists can relate to what you are feeling and thinking. We were all beginners at some point and some are just further along on the path.
I'm so glad you had good experience and realized that it is a process. Like I wrote to someone else here some paintings come more easily and others just take more time. It can often take me awhile to work up the right mindset (courage) to go and change a painting that I've been struggling with. So I tend to do it in batches. I get out a few of the ones that have been sitting in the corner for awhile, get out the big brushes and then decide to be brave. My best advice would be to wait until you are in the right mood/mindset to make big changes and then go for it! You have already gotten this far so you can do it! I believe in you
@@TheDanishPainter so sorry for my delayed thank you!! My health has been a bigger problem then normal....but that's not fun to talk about, but your art and your words of encouragement are!!! I always appreciate your encouragement and it means more then you know :) I tend to get very annoyed, putting it lightly, with myself for not being able to just paint wonderful all the time or to be in the right mindset at the right time....as I'm sure many also do....so I'm always working on easing up a bit because feeling that pressure "you must paint well and you must paint now@" never works...its like when you're not able to sleep and keep laying there looking at the clock, knowing that the pressure to sleep is only making it more difficult to sleep :) after a lifetime of harshness with myself it's not a quick change....but...I'm always working on it and art is part of that. So I can't allow the art that saved my life to be what wrecks it...its too important to me. So I am able to find ways to do something here or there when my health allows and just be happy and thankful for what I can do :)
I always truly appreciate your support :)
I hope you are doing well!!!🥰🥰
@@jadedenthusiasms Sending you my very best thoughts my friend!
@@TheDanishPainter thank you🥰
Thanks very much.❤️
You're so welcome Corinne 😊
Tak for at dele dine fantastiske videoer, maleteknikker og overvejelser. De har virkelig været en øjenåbner for mig, og de har fået mig til at være meget mere legende og eksperimenterende, meget mindre "bange" for at begå "FEJL" . Jeg er blevet en meget mere lykkelig og modig amatørmaler :)))
😊😊😊
Det er jeg rigtig glad for at høre Aase. Tak fordi du har lyst til at se med :-)
Thank you so much for sharing- I sometimes change a painting over & over- I then tilt it on its sides & leave it to see it from different views- I’m just a “mom” painter but I do want to get it it’s best
Yes some paintings are just a lot more work aren't they?! Turning a painting on the sides or upside down is a great idea, thanks for reminding us of that :)
Thank you Marie Louise for sharing your in-process (struggling) with a larger painting which I do often (struggle with a large painting).
I paint mostly large like that which I find is or seems to be much more challenging than little, sketch book size pieces.
What you did to change the direction and feel of that work is exactly what I do (and often).
Invariably, my work is made better with more and interesting details 'peeking through' ... and it is fun when it morphs into something not first imagined.
Like you, I, too, welcome and listen to the helping voice of my inner muse!
Cheers.
Thanks for sharing James it's very interesting to hear your thoughts and insights. I think you are absolutely right that a work gets more interesting when previous layers can be seen peeking though. I really like when I can see different layers and how the artist has worked through someting to get to the painting. The process should not be hidden instead it should be celebrated ! Of course this is my opinion only but I think this process really suits the way I paint and think about art. Cheers.
The style, the technique you teach and share, which I, too, work in is very much J.M.W Turner-esque: layering, wipe on, wipe off until therei s depth, contrast, luminosity and the illusion of texture.
A difficult feat with acrylics!
Washes, scumbles, glazes and colors. Rinse and repeat.
BTW, "FOOK" below is moi.
@@fooku5508 No certainly not easy but I like a challenge and I think you probably do too ;-)
Alright, got it ;-)
When I looked at your first painting I thought, good,you have switched to brighter colors. I live in Vermont,USA and to me it was a painting of our wonderful fall trees by the sea shore. Then watching you use the gray to paint out the middle ground, I realized you had painted New England with foreground trees and a misty mountain in the background.
Yes you are right :) I started the painting during the summer when colors were brighter and then worked on it on a gray day in late autumn....the seasons and the colors outside definitely influences me greatly. Is your color palette also influenced by the changing seasons?
The energy of the painting increased greatly, in my opinion, with he change to intense light grays and whites. Good idea--treating the reality of painting, which is not always so clear and can change from one moment to the next.
Yes you are right. Every painting can take som many different paths and there are so many ideas and decisions to make. It I guess we keep at it because we like the challenge. Thanks for watching :)
As always, you are inspiring, entertaining, and informative! And having your name on your shirt makes me laugh for some reason. 😊
Yeah I realized I had the name on my shirt after I had filmed and then decided oh well it's fine ;-) I've been teaching a lot of workshops lately and we always start by introducing ourselves and writing our names like this. Thanks for watching :-)
Bonjour ! C'est avec plaisir que je viens de regarder la transformation du tableau initial très réussi , vers un travail semi abstrait d'un très bon résultat . J'aime beaucoup ce travail abstrait sur le bas de la toile qui rejoint l'océan et le ciel . Félicitations c'est un grand plaisir de vous voir peindre . Malheureusement je ne comprends pas très bien l'anglais , je ne comprends pas tout . Bonne continuation et bonne après midi 🥀☘️👍💖🌈
Bonjour et merci pour vos réflexions sur le processus de vidéo et de peinture. Je suis très heureux que vous ayez envie de regarder ici sur la chaîne même si je n'ai pas traduit en français. J'aimerais traduire mes vidéos, mais mon français n'est pas assez bon pour traduire correctement. Et j'obtiens l'aide de google translate pour écrire cette réponse ;-) Sympa que vous vouliez suivre et laisser la peinture parler pour moi ! :-)
I am new to your channel and am watching your older videos. I like the change you made here. To my eye, something was off regarding the shape of the bushes. Did you do more work on this piece? I'd like to see the final outcome!
Hi Linda, I adjusted the foreground colors just a little bit more but not very much. Probably I'm the only one who would be able to tell lol. So what you see in the video is essentially the finished piece. Hope that helps :)
I don't know how long this link will work but here's a link to the gallery website where the piece is now: galleri-artexpo.dk/shop/5015-marie-louise-eriksen/1817-marie-louise-eriksen-maleri-100x80cm/

I love your tutorials
Any suggestions in painting clouds ?
Thank you so much! YesI did a video tutorial here on TH-cam about painting clouds that might be helpful, here's the link: th-cam.com/video/abE7IIV9OxA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for watching & greetings from Denmark

Where did you go next?
Sometimes though the wee voice inside says, "Give up; you're no good; find another career; how dare you call yourself an artist!" I think that self-doubt is an important part of being a practicing artist though, because it keeps us fresh. When we think we have ALL the answers, that's probably when it's time to give up and go and do something else! I hope that like you I will always be experimenting and exploring new ideas. I find the most important thing is to 'just turn up' - then things start to happen. I think it was Thomas Edison who said that the creative process is only 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration!
We are our own worst critics, very true! Just showing up and doing the work is a big part of it. And the days where hours seem wasted I give myself a pep-talk and take a cup of hot chocolate and get back to work :)
I hang pieces that I'm not happy with and will look at them on and off for a while and eventually it comes to me.
Great advice Daniel, thanks for sharing. And you are right, it will come. Learning to wait is perhaps the hardest part sometimes.
152. thank you my friend you have produced extraordinary work so that it makes me learn from you. Thank you, my teacher. see my art too.
Thank you very much :)
