- This video is from a year ago. It shows how I got unstuck when I got lost with a body of work. This an exercise you can try any time and it always generates new ideas.

Louise, besides being a marvelous painter, you are an incredible, inspiring teacher. Thank you for your generosity and encouragement!
Amazingly, your no pile was my yes pile! Appreciation of art is so subjective! I do love your work and your videos. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
Yeah! I loved some of her rejected pieces and didn't like some of her favorites. LOL.

"I've done something that moved everything forward; I've enjoyed myself; I feel better for having created." Sums up the exercise and I needed to see/hear this. Thank you!
Happy it resonated with you xx
Thank you, Louise! Was a pleasure to see all of your brushstrokes and your thoughts behind them. Looking forward to seeing more of your "creating hours".
So glad you enjoyed it!
So nice!!! Drama between dark an light. Amazing!!!
Louise I can't express enough how you've inspired me to explore and find my joy in painting. I love watching your videos and the taster course was amazing. Thank you for all you do!
You are so welcome
I found it so interesting seeing your liked, maybe and reject piles and your explanation to why each painting was in that certain pile. Thank you again for your wisdom.❤
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 CZcams videos which are so interesting and helping me as a beginner. Thank you!
Don't worry about being sidetracked - that's you finding what you love!
Thank you for sharing Louise ! I'm learning a lot following your videos !!!
Thank you Louise for this inspiring video. I love the idea of YES*MAYBE*NO PILE! The idea of turning the painting in different directions even whilst painting process is great and gives the freeling feeling. I'm looking forward to this art adventure.
Thank you, I love watching you paint.
So much to learn from one video. Absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much Louise for your time, enthusiasm and expertise. For the first time in my life I am enjoying my experience with picture making.
Amazing as usual Louise! You are an inspiration to everyone!
you are an amazing teacher! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you so much. I’ve recently retired, and have looked forward to a world full of creativity. Strangely enough, now that’s it’s upon me, I’m frozen . I’m glad you tell us it’s our job. It brought on an overwhelming feeling inside me.
Hi Jennifer, I completely sympathise with what you said. I've retired at 50 it feels very bizarre. It's all about format for me, 1m x 1m canvas every time
I desperately needed to see your Video this A.M. , I am going to get myself an Art journal. I never thought of just how useful they can be. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge and Amazing Artwork ❣️
Thank you so much for sharing this. Just what I needed today to encourage and inspire me.
Dear Louise. Thank you again for this video .I followed the taster and it was the first time feeling it's oke how I am working. You gave me hands on how to going on, how i can handle my need to painting, how I can make bigger things. I said thanks to the university that I met you on you tube and also for the joy I found through you. I feel great thankfullness. Please go on in your own way.
Just wonderful
It’s also interesting our own reaction to your work, which teaches us something about us. I actually loved one of the small ones that you didn’t like. A useful video! 😊
Yes so true!
Dear Louise, thank you so much for this video. Regrettably I can't afford your course, maybe next year. Until then I'm really thankful for your videos, they are always informative and got to the point. Nothing comparable out there!
I had the same reaction: loved all the maybe and most of the no!
@@leticiacampos1044 Me too.
same!
Brilliant!! - thanks so much for sharing Louise xx
I love your idea of placing the smaller paintings from working on a large sheet taped off and painting as though one large but knowing they're all individual pieces...placing them in a sketchbook, making notes as needed...I'm going to try this...Thank you!!!
Thank you Louise! 😊
Loved watching
Thank you for your sharing your approach!!
Thanks for this thoughtful video, Louise. It so helpful to see the physical process, the palette selection, paint application, how the exercise feeds the works in progress, and the emotional/motivational side of it. I saw in that last shot of the painting a house in the countryside I'd like to visit. :) As always, thanks for sharing your painting wisdom with us.
LOVED THIS LESSON , SO INTERESTING.
Love watching you paint. Very inspiring. Reminds me to do some quick, play paintings.
You are fabulous for sharing your process. I really enjoyed this and learned a lot.
This video is fantastic. Thank you.
This was really something of the very best I have ever seen on CZcams!
Wow. I have so many ways now to get in-stuck. Thank you! Love that you are analyzing by talking about what you do and do not like. Better than just harsh criticism to ourselves -more positive!
Thank you from Appleton Wisconsin, this is my most favorite video on abstracts. You have helped me get back to my painting again. I took a long break and it saddens me.
I’m so inspired!!! What a fun activity!!! I love the way you made the squares into Art! It’s fabulous!!!
Thank you so much!
This is wonderful and helpful. Thank you, Louise!
Luuise you are such an inspiration! love to see your videos! thank you so much!
Thank you so much!!
This is such an encouraging video, thank you so much for sharing your amazing knowledge built on experience and generosity ! I love your paintings and I love to listen to you! ❣
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was just a wonderful video! Thank you so much for sharing. I will definitely use these suggestions to move my work forward and make me happier in my studio.
You are so welcome!
Louise wow…this is a priceless lesson you are sharing here! I am SO appreciative of your insight and ideas in creating…even when you don’t want to. thank you from the bottom of my palette to yours!!!!
You are so welcome!
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!
Well said! Thank you so much!
So many great lessons in this video Louise. Thank you so much!
You're so welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing your thought processes and your way of moving forward. I find this very helpful 🙏
You are so welcome!
Thank you for sharing your thinking process in this wonderful video. I realise I haven’t painted for a while - I’m drawing, thinking, using charcoal which is my comfort blanket. You’ve inspired me to actual paint today - and I think your inspirational squares is just right for today!
There is a storm coming and that influences my mood - makes me stronger and less complacent.
Thank you Louise.
Wonderful!
You are a delight!!! Thank you! Love your art as well!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you Louise. That was so generous of you to share your inner workings and decision making process. It lights me up. It was encouraging too that it’s just how it is to feel resistant sometimes and it doesn’t matter. There is no sense pushing a Boulder up hill but a zig zag path is much easier and kinder.
So true!
Thank you again Louise. Your 'no' pile looked pretty good to me!!! You are a kind and patient teacher and I'm so pleased to have found you. Cheers, Deb (NZ)
I absolutely enjoy watching your process. And your scrap book. What a fabulous idea. For keeping notes. And your work is absolutely Stunning. 👏💜💙💜💙💜
Thank you!
Such a wonderful process. Thank you, this is so helpful and inspirational!
You are so welcome!
Thanks Louise for inspiring videos.Would love to take one of your 10 week courses!
Your words are more than words for art. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
Thank you Louise, you always give such good insight.
You are so welcome
You inspire me. I really appreciate you verbalising your thought processes. Thank you.
I appreciate that!
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!
Love this... so nice... I really enjoyed most of your maybe’s.
I love the way the little squares turned out and the limited palette. Taking off the tape is like opening up a beautifully wrapped present! So cool! Can’t wait to try it!
Have fun!
OMG! You have opened my eyes! How fantastic! What inspiration! THANK YOU!!!!😀😀😀😀
You are so welcome!
I absolutely loved what you did! So incredible that I now want to rework all my paintings. Thank you
Thank you!
Thank you Louise! ❤️
You're so welcome!
Thank you, Louise!!!!
You are so welcome!
Love the way you worked through these. Very inspiring!
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.
I'm so glad! Happy painting!
Great video... many thanks for sharing your way of working....Also really enjoyed your free course....Thanks again.
Looooved this video thank you for sharing this TOTAL WISDOM!
So glad it helped :)
Such a helpful video! I love hearing your thought process.
Glad it was helpful! Happy painting!
Muchas gracias Louise! Tu forma de pintar me parece fascinante. Y sobre todo de transmitir y de enseñar
Thank you Louise. I love watching your painting videos. I am really not able to paint at the moment (to much energy has to go to body right now) but I feel it coming just looking at the video.
You make such beautiful art. It appeals to my eyes and feelings
thank you x
Soooo inspiring, thanks so much Louise, so many ideas spinning around in my head watching you and listening to your thoughts, I stopped the video halfway through as I had to paint...
Wow what a compliment! Glad you enjoyed it! ♥

Toulouse Lautrec comes to mind with the colours x
We have the same process and desire to keep the art making joyful and intuitive. Thank you for sharing your ways.
You are so welcome!
Thank you Louise for the special video ! Getting stuck is an opportunity to e free to explore, create and learn! I will always try your method of painting the Maquettes as a guide to do all 3 of these opportunities! You are and have been a great mentor, teacher and long distance art friend for me. Thank you❣❤😊
You are so welcome!
Thanks again for sharing this Louise, very,very helpful!!!!

Aww thank you for your kind words Helen!
I love your studio.
Thanks for sharing your process Louise! So inspiring 🤯🤩
You are so welcome!
Very useful. Getting stuck is so easy. At least we get busy with something else and don't dwell on self flagellation. Thank you.
So true!
I’ve recently gone back to art after a break of over 20 years . I have found your videos on CZcams so inspiring to me . As I have found every time I do a drawing or a collage i immediately judge it and feel it is no good and then I don’t try again. Your advise has given me hope that I can try again . 😊
Awww thank you Paula and I am so glad I could provide that hope to you!
Excellent...EXCELLENT video. Love the process.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Louise - you are an absolute gem . Thank you ........... Kind regards - Judi - Australia
I second that! Love your conversational style, Louise ☺️. You make it all seem so do-able which is downright inspiring! Thank you so much. X
I'm going to use the practice squares on a more regular basis, when I get a block or unsure how to progress, I will experiment with limited pallete colour swatches a great record for future use thanks for all this Louise! I wish I could afford the course but learnt a lot!
"that failed painting" was a masterpiece!
thank you!
Thank you Louise!
You're so welcome!
I am inspired! Thank you Louise for this gift!
You are so welcome!
I adore your beautiful harmonious works of Art, your colour knowledge and application are second to none. For the first time in sooooo long I really want to paint again, starting with this exercise of a limited palette and squares, it all seems achievable. Huge thanks to you. 👍👍👍🏴
You can do it!
It has been so helpful
Thank you so much, I find you truly inspirational and I could listen to you for hours! 😊 kind regards from Brussels x
