Does it sometimes feel like there is something wrong with your painting but you’re not quite sure what it is?
Chances are that you are trying to do TOO much in your painting. In this video I will talk about how you will improve your paintings tremendously by doing LESS. Yes, that's right - by doing less.
Do you ever wonder how do I choose what to paint and what to leave out when looking at a detailed landscape scene? How will I know what’s important when there are SO many beautiful elements to choose from?
Too many elements makes your painting feel too busy, too scattered and maybe even confusing.!
The problem here is that you're probably trying to say too much, trying to include too much in ONE painting. Is that even possible you may ask - yes it is!
Adding a ton of detail for example is not necessarily going to make your painting better.
We think that it will - but it is rarely the case.
Fewer elements can actually be a strength - and it’s how you choose to portray them that makes all the difference.
Simplicity is elegant and elegance is timeless!! Welcome to the video :)

Simplifying my subject matter is my biggest struggle, your videos always help me figure out what I want to say in my painting and simplify down to this answer 😊 your work is so inspiring.
I try to avoid painting rocks, as I have little success in capturing them. But the way you have done them, makes me actually want to try to paint them again. Thank you very much for the excellent tips!
They're beautiful! Your painting style is such an enjoyable process to watch. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙏😍🎨
Simplifying my paintings and knowing when to stop are my biggest struggles. I like the idea of choosing 1 or 2 things you like best about a scene and then focusing on those things.Thank you for the advice! Love your videos!
Lovely demo, Marie Louis we are never too old to learn! :)
Thanks Dave and cheers ☀️🎨
Even just in the first minute I know I'm going to like this. peaceful and thoughtful video. Simplicity.. is such a key skill for art and design.
How interesting to work on two paintings at once! I see that they work as a pair!
I am new to your channel and have just subscribed. This video was so informative and I learnt so much, thank you. You explain things very clearly and thoroughly and stick to the point of the video. As a newbie to a more abstract style of landscape painting, I found this very helpful. And the results are lovely!
I'm excited! You have a wonderful way of explaining everything calmly. Thanks. I am always amazed at how seemingly inconspicuous lines suddenly create fantastic things before my eyes. Now I “just” have to find a way to make it work for me.
Hello🥰
Another great lesson, as always!
I agree with SO many of these comments as I have similar issues like... hard to know how much to simplify, or, which things to even pick to focus on, because I love lots of things in the photo I took, that's why I took it!😖😬🤣 ... also, knowing when to stop😢
I've messed up things I liked ok, by that last minute "hmmm, ok, just one more thing...just gotta adjust this one little thing I swear!!" I say this to my husband VERY often because I'll show him something and he'll say its good and I say I'm done, good enough at least... I have an extremely hard time thinking any of my art is good in any way... I see each thing I missed, each "wrong" stroke that wasn't meant to be or should have been...everything really... I think a lot feel this way. I just have a hard time being nice to myself about myself across the board, so, this is no different... but, art has truly helped me keep my head above water, mentally, so, I'm trying to find where I feel it's good enough and then setting it aside for a few hours, days or however long... to see it with fresh eyes later, to see if those bits really stand out and need a bit of fixing and how to best do that, or, if its ok.
Because, when I push n push, "fixing" here n there on my first go, it inevitably snowballs into bigger issues, because then some of the 'fix' will not be exactly what I wanted... or I freak out about the colors not being the same enough and since I'm frustrated, I'm not remembering colors change when dry, etc... 🙄
I also love your reminder of the fact that my first attempt, or layer, doesn't have to have everything perfectly done right then or else I've failed! I didn't say that well at all, as opposed to the great way you said it. I'm having a very painful day so my brain is foggy and blah, sorry😳🤦🏻♀️
Anyway... I definitely do that as well... I'll go into it think "loose... thin layers.... don't overthink it" but.... the ocd, overthinking over-explainer me is soon trying to do everything with too much detail too soon and then, even if its fine, its not what I wanted. So... I just keep practicing.
That's why a big notebook of watercolor paper is so awesome! I don't buy an expensive brand or anything, just some decent weight watercolor or multi media paper so that I'm not blowing through canvases. Even though I know I can paint over the canvases, I don't want to be constantly painting over the few I do have. So, paper and tape to the rescue! It definitely let's me relax and just try things out, without a "must fully finish painting" feeling.... ok ok, yes, my ocd does still scream at me, even with paper... But, it's a bit easier to tell that voice "shut up! It'll be FINE!" ... or something of that nature 😊😬😂
And I LOVE taking the tape off! Well, once I used the little hair dryer I keep at my art(dining😊) table, to warm the tape some so that I wasn't ripping off bits of paper😊
And I'm still always amazed at the transformation that happens when its removed! It goes from 😔 to 🙂 in that moment. Although I sometimes lose track of the tape and only realize that as I remove it and the small little rock (which I'm awful at btw) or whatever, has been pulled off🤦🏻♀️ but, I can always add one or just go with it. But that clean white edge..... oh man I love that :)😂
Oy! As you can see, my extreme case of 'overthinking over-explainer diesease' got the better of me here, as often happens 🙄 and now this comment, that I thought would be quick, is most definitely not😳🤷🏻♀️ so sorry😬
Ok... well, I hope you you're doing well my friend!!! As always, I look forward to our much hoped for, even if unlikely anytime soon, especially now with my health/$ setbacks, to put it lightly .. but, our day of relaxing, drinking tea and talking all things art and everything else :) One day.... one day!!!❤
Thank you again for another awesome video!!🥰
You are doing well,I'm sure your paintings are very nice.We all have the same problem, overthinking everything, is good,is it bad...who knows.Just keep painting, that's what I've been doing...my family likes them all of course .I just paint for pleasure. Best wishes Lili
@@aurelbota8332 thank you :) I agree... art is good therapy for sure!!!
I love your content! It’s very relaxing to watch you work and I enjoy hearing about your process. Thanks for sharing!
Lovely paintings!❤ Thank you for an inspiring video and great tips! 😊
Wow, beautiful painting and some new insights, thank you for that🙏🎨♥️
A bit like being happy in life."keep it simple, fewer elements can be a strength and elegance is timeless" superb teaching methods, and techniques. 🎉
Very nice. I like when you have your palette and painting in the shot. It helps a lot. Thanks!!❤
Looks Great!! Great tips 🙌
Thankyou my Danish Painter, I Iove watching you work, it's mesmerizing and mindfulness all in one.
Such good advice, and a very instructive tutorial. Thank you. ❤️
Thankyou - I’m learning lots 😊
I love the way you paint and the way you teach. Thank you very much.
What a beautiful and instructive video ! Thank you for sharing your process😊
I am learning so much from you as I begin my painting journey! Thank you so much for your incredibly generous content. 🙂🙏
🎉 lovely Colourful touch 🎉
Enjoyed it a lot. I sometimes end up trying to do too much😊
Thank you for the great video. It helps me immensely that you keep reminding me to focus on fewer but more expressive elements in the picture. Since then I've always asked myself what I want to express. Where does the concentration go? Using only a limited color palette also helps a lot.
Thank you again for sharing your knowledge so openly with others. 🙂 I've been making progress since watching your videos.
Ulrike G. 🙂
Beautiful.
Im in this stage. Great problem solving
Gorgeous 😍
Thanks! I learn so much from your videos and would like to take a course from you in the future!
Wonderful video! 💕🖌️
Thank you so much! Always, always I learn something new and find inspiration with your demos. I appreciate you and your art immensity. ❤
Thank you so mush Iraima :-)
Amazing!
Thank you for sharing your creative process! Fantastic style, love it so much. Please be careful with cobalts, they can penetrate through the skin (unlike cadmiums)
Thank you again. 🌅✌
You are such a good teacher! I love your technique.
At 11 minutes and 40 seconds I wondered what you were going to do with what appears to be a khaki green and now I see very brave ! I have so much to learn😀
Thanks for sharing this demonstration, would like to see more of like this demonstration where you take ideas from different pictures.
Also can you explain how do we know that we have achieved that depth in loose painting teqniques .
Tak fordi du inkluderer din farveblanding undervejs ❤ Det er virkelig lærerigt ❤ Også tak fordi du beskriver processen og tankerne undervejs ❤
Velbekomme og tak fordi du ser med :-)
Thankyou Marie Louise - inspiring and informative as usual🙂 I’m going to France at the weekend, so will try to purchase your Abstract Landscape while I’m there, as of course, no luck in the UK ☹️🤞
Thanks and yes I’m so sorry for the hassle. Enjoy France 🇫🇷 🌷
Very beautiful Paintintg 😍
Still the master!
I wonder how you adapt to the yellow tape or how it might inspire influence the process. Reminds me of how I like to play improvised music while having radio-noice on in the background. I think the yellow tape would give me energy while painting. and indirectly help me to apreciate duller nuances.
It is always a mind blowing moment when you remove the tape.
I'm baffled. How are you able to push the blue paint into the yellow and not make green😮 I need to learn that trick! Please tell ❤
Thank you for this. What surface are these painted on please?
Thank you for video. Approximately what percentage do you usually use big brush for? Say, 70% big brush, 30% small brush?
Très beau travail j'aime beaucoup.avec quoi essuyez vous votre peinture ? Svp.merci
Framework…..good idea
Hi Marie Louise. Why not mix your own black? Some artists don't recommend using it. I have trouble selecting a subject with good composition to paint....reference photos.
Moi mon turquoise n'est pas foncé comme vous , je ne comprends pas , peut-être la marque de votre peinture...
