Video

Going to venture into abstract painting-your videos are so helpful! Thank you for sharing your expertise!

I agree with the previous comment - I really appreciate the succinct way you present. You didn’t use the term mother color method, but that is what you demonstrated clearly and efficiently without excess verbiage. Thank you.

I love adding a tiny tiny dab of yellow to get that kind of luminous millennial pink, too

I’m loving these videos on color mixing because I’m trying to leave my zillion tubes of this and that behind.

I like your video about pink but... You say you need the primaries but you don't list the paints you are using. I don't know red light, red medium or red dark but I know cadmium, naphthol, and crimson. I just bought a tube of fluorescent pink and I know you can't mix that! I don't know why you didn't use the complimentary color green to desaturate the colors. Black has a natural blue undertone so I don't agree with that choice.

I love this. I’ve just found you and love your style of art and teaching. I love to draw, honestly I prefer it, but am fairly new to painting and want to get better at it. I love the drawing incorporated into these paintings. I plan to download your find your style book and hang out here. I’ll try this type painting in the morning cause it really inspires me. I love the feeling of gesturing with charcoal. We will see.

Have you considered a turquoise mixing video?

Nothing is more fun than your color videos. Thanks for doing pink! Viridian green was my choice of neutralizer Quite a bit of fun. Looking forward to July 3 webinar!

Love your color videos!! Thanks

Color mixing is important-thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Hi Louise, just wanted to say thank you for these brilliant colour mixing videos. I’ve just completed a busy few weeks and hospital treatment on my back and need to rest. Your videos are so inspiring yet soothing…can’t get enough of them and all these yummy colours! Thank you!!! So excited to get back in the studio and do some colour mixing! 🥰🥰🥰 Ps I also noticed that the video was smeary as if the lens needed cleaning.

I love your colour mixing videos. Thank you for sharing them with us.

I am finding these very valuable introductions, thank you Louise

You just narrated what I’ve been feeling since starting serious abstract about a month ago. This is great. Thank you.

I always enjoy the color mixing videos. Thank you, Louise!

Love that you do this!!!

Thanks so much, Louise!!!!!!!!!! Best to you, Sondra Borrie

Hi Louise! Haven't watched more than the intro yet, but wanted to give you a heads up. It might be the lighting in that particular moment, but it appears your camera lense could be in dire need of a cleaning? Your lovely face is unclear & seems to get a bit fuzzier with every intro..

lol, been there, bought about twenty reds. I can make loads of pinks now ha ha ha.

Yes these are very helpful. Thank you so so much.

Loved this. Thank you.

Valuable information in short time . Nice video

Yes

Color mixing is addictive. I'm working on a Barbie series, so this was super helpful. Thanks Louise!

🌷🌺

Great refreshers Louise! Love them!!!

I love these color mixing vids...Soooo helpful. Thanks, Louise!

Hi Louise! I just "finished" my final series for CVP2024, and realized as I watched your demo that no, I'm not finished. Thanks for this! Back to the studio!!

thanks Louise, once again... you are so honest and it hits home every time.

fantastic to observe and listen to your process...thank you so much...this is such a learning opportunity.!

Brilliant thanks. I need to spend some time playing with colour mixing and using a limited pallette.

I almost spit out my coffee when you said the orange made you lose your will to live! Hahaha!

Letting go of things I love is hard for me. #brave

Wonderful session. Thx for sharing L!

I don't like dark abstracts. The brighter the better.

fun! green rarely finds its way onto my palette unless there is blue in it. be refreshing to try the more natural earthy greens for contrast. Thanks!

Thank you SO MUCH!

Louise this video has got my creative juices singing!! I loved seeing how you build up your portrait…. I’m just now beginning to learn that nothing is too precious to paint over….. that is so freeing …. I’ve just purchased some sketchbooks on Vi tex(a real bargain!and I think I will dedicate one to playing with faces. !!

Louise, I loved this video… so much to work with! I want to thank you for all that you so generously share for free. I subscribe to your newsletter and can say to anyone who doesn’t…. do it now! Full of generous advice and tips and interviews with other artists…. I love your style of art and your teaching style and can’t thank you enough Louise! 🤗🤗🤗

I try not to be negative to myself but I used to think that I am almost colorblind for shades. I never see what colour is dominant or which one to add to mix shade I like. I was a little stressed about it but watching your videos I realised that I am just a beginner and need much much practice. Your advices are so useful and encouraging that I get a wish to explore and learn, to dive much deeper without a fear of failure. Thank you so much. 🙏🏻💜

The deep red/yellow and light red/yellow are confusing to me because the original red/yellow are not true red/yellow as primary colors.

Thank you!

I found a big block for me changing the way I paint is acceptance. I find it difficult since I finally decided to work on abstracts, most of the people, buyers, family and friends like my old realistic style better. I still find it very challenging but I know my heart is in abstract work I have always loved. I had decided that I don't care if anyone "gets it" I just need to do it.

Thank you so much for this video. I've seen several videos like this explaining "quick and easy" abstract art. I fully agree with you that is not art...it's a decoration. I think this is why people think abstract art is so easy. I think like you that good abstract art has feelings, emotions, or a message it is not just something pretty to hang on your wall.

Omg “ losing my will to live” 😂😂😂 This was really helpful, just like your green one I loved!

Brilliant & interesting thank you.

Color mixing videos brighten my day! A very fun way to start a studio day & a fabulous practice if you only have 20-30 mins Enjoying the "twenty minute" masterclass

💛♥🧡

Fabulous and timely. Almost eerie that it came on a day when Im trying to get a certain orange. Sort of a rusty cinnabar. Without success, I’ll add. But this video takes me right back into the studio to continue the fun of trying more combos all in the spirit of the joy of color mixing.
