I haven't seen this video in a long while. It's so energizing and relaxing at the same time. Off to do Lesson 1 of FYJ Taster 2023. Louise, Thank you for sharing this again! It's a great reminder not to be "thinky" and have some fun.

I am enjoying your lessons and cant wait to start painting again.

Hi. Hulda from Norway. Fun to follow you. I have tried your first lesson on paper. I liked that. Much to learn. ❤ Thank you.

WOw, I wish I had watched this before I started! Oh well, learned something already,

Thanks for this visual. I will tape off My paper tomorrow and get playing. I can’t wait!!!

Wonderful!

I'm so enjoying how you play and make these little pieces! Off to get some yellow and get started. So happy to be here with you, Louise! Thank you for your generosity!

Seeing this video I am reminded that I did this exercise about a month ago. I was sort of happy with the result at that time, but kept on going way past 30 minutes, and.... over worked it. Excited to try again with better colors and a 30 minute limit!

I’m inspired!! Thank you

Louise, I've been following you for a while. I've learned so much from you. I just wanted to jump on and thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. You are such a joy to watch, so authentic and welcoming. Thanks for all you do.

I can’t wait to start this assignment. It’s 1am New York time so I will be doing this when I wake up later this morning. This is just the thing I needed for expanding my creative joy

Louise, I absolutely adore watching you “mess about” with paint. You inspire me! Thank you!

When you pulled away the tape things really came alive, you've created six little spectacula paintings. so enjoyed this video thanks for sharing.

Brilliant, off to do some painting now

Its a treat to watch your intuitive artistic process in real time! Thanks Louise.

Louise, I follow you and whenever I can I watch your videos, with the way you teach I learned not to be scared of painting and through paint on canvas because because I can go over and over until I liked I always loved abstract but so scare of starting it and have no idea how to finish it a millions thanks to you Louise and God bless you because you have a big heart ♥️ I just finish one abstract two weeks ago and I posted in your page Minda

Thanks for exercite !

I love watching you paint!! Loose but thoughtful😊

I'm just about to start this now. Thankyou

I’m all primed and ready to go. Thank you, Louise!❤

Just able to watch the new video demo, my heart is just pounding due to the excitement I felt as you were painting. I am on my way to do assignment.

I'm excited and can't wait to start this assignment. ❤😊 Your work is so beautiful, you inspire me. Thanks for the demo, that looks cool!

Wow. As I watch I feel a physical desire to grab paint and join in! Can’t wait to try this. 😍

I’m so excited to play tomorrow. I love trying new stuff and seeing what happens. So freeing to not have to produce an end product! ❤

wonderfull

Again a ‘beauty’ ..... I’m very glad that you show us how you work this out!. I know what i’m going to do. Thanks very much Louise!

Louise, you are an amazing instructor! Thank you so much!!

Your art colours look great....will begin same this first week of Spring..thank you Louise.

I'll definitely be giving this a shot.. I'm normally my own worst critic with my work, so being able to loosen up a bit would be a huge help.. thanks!

Louis, I just love this technique of playing with colour and the unexpected results you get. I especially love the "reveal" when the tape is removed. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make all of the videos you make. I watch them all, even if I don't comment often. You inspire me so much to continue exploring mixed media work. Susan

Can't wait to try it tomorrow morning! I already taped my full sheet of Arches 300 lbs. cold-pressed, and chosen my 3 primary colors.

I love how you work, your perspective and attitude and I keep watching your various painting videos bc they are so inspiring and make me want to paint my own! Thanks Louise! Tina

Love this Louise. Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful Loise. Such a relaxed approach and the color palette seems to dance in this creation. Thank you for this interesting exercise.

Thanks for the demo! Ready to start my taping with joy!💐

Way too fun! Going to my room to play now! Thank you Louise!

Thanks for this video Louise, I can see now why I couldn't make anything from my 'ugly' painting. Will def try this exercise and hopefully feel able to post it to the group.

You are incredibly inspiring!

I love this idea Louise. Thanks so much for sharing

I love this. So glad I signed up, Ready to have some fun with colors.

Awesome idea.. And each little painting looks so complete and lovely

I think gob smacked is the only thing I can say. Each individual motif is superb. Let me clear the decks and have a go. I'm friending you on Facebook. Thank you Louise for such inspiration. xx

Love this technique! I'm excited to give it a go tomorrow evening. ☺️

This is soooo useful - thank ! I tried it last night and really enjoyed myself.

I. Loved. This!

Very interesting concept! Thank you very much for sharing 👏😍👏

"That swashy thing you always do". I'd like to address those things within my style that I don't like and they keep showing up. I seem to even have at least two, maybe even three, distinct ways of painting (not bragging here, I only like ONE of them) and I never know which mode I'm in until I start painting! Another struggle I can't seem to overcome is that the left side is always much better than the right in terms of composition. I'm going to try this exercise over several days and see what happens, maybe all three of me will "blend" into at least one of the squares, tee hee.

These are gorgeous. Just about to start the course.

Hi Louise I love this video and have watched a few times . I'm new to abstract painting and haven't used much acrylic so it was a great way to see how things work and the effects you get .I want to play with semi abstract Landscapes and this was a great help. A big fan thankyou Trish !!!

Here from 2021 taster course! I've seen this done in a number of other artist vids and always wanted to try. TBH I already feel overwhelmed so I'm hoping this week will loosen me up. 🙄🤞🏼

Great video. I'm going to have a go with my kids.

Opps a day late and no tape and maybe wrong paper - BUT - I love this idea and plan to try it like tomorrow - a day late common for me - thanks for offering this - - Peg

Thank you, Louise! I tried this bit with ink, but I love the freeing nature of this process and hope I will have fun and success with acrylics. I have the desire for a while now to mix colors and find palettes that I like, to get better with compositions, and to be loose and expressive in art.
