Demo - Playing with Ink and Collage
Vložit
- čas přidán 10. 02. 2021
- I’ve just finished a major project using acrylic and mixed media. When I don’t have a specific project I’m working on but I still want to keep creating, I do something I love. Lately I’ve been enjoying ink and collage, so I’m putting the two together here.
In this demo I show you how I play and experiment with shapes, marks and textures. I explore what it is I’m doing and why. Sometimes bits of these collages find their way into my other artwork.
I am on a mission to help artists find their own unique voice and make exciting, original artwork that is truly unique. If this sounds exciting, join my weekly artist's newsletter at www.louisefletcherart.com/con...
Each week, I share tips, tricks, advice, and inspiration to help you take your art to the next level.

Hi. I’m an artist that’s been in the closet for so long because of the horrible things I’ve been through in my life. And I’ve just started to open up and be inspired. And then all of a sudden I’m taking care of my granddaughter that’s two years old. So I’ve turn to CZcams and I found you. Today, the work you were doing inspired me so much! I asked my daughter recently if I could do some new art for her brand new apartment in downtown Houston. She wants black and white. Lol. Which to me as gray lol so, I am so grateful to you for your inspiration that you gave yourself for us and invited us to see because if I had not seen it I would not have been inspired to do this beautiful thing that came to me while I was watching your video. Peace and love to your family and to you especially.Thank you😊❤️
I hear you. My youngest was six months out of the nest and I found myself with full time custody of my three year old grandson. All that time of waiting to express what I'd been holding back artistically. He's nearly 12, and I'm just starting to see the light lol. CZcams has been my saviour through the times of not being able to afford to experiment or having the time to do anything physically. I love Louise's channel! All the best for your journey both as a full-time grandparent and an artist. x
I just came upon this channel...I absolutely LOVE the ink/collage abstracts. They are inspired!
Thank you so much!
You are my kindred spirit - this really is all about studies in aesthetics
It is such a joy to watch you and listen to you. My whole body opens and soaks it in. You really have a gift, Louise, creating and teaching, both. Thank you.
Wow, thank you!
The same feeling!
“I will understand it in the end”. Love it !
I loved when you said, "it's going to go somewhere" and you would understand it at the end, or not! I'm so reassured by those words. Thank you.
I'm so glad!
I so enjoy your shows
Aww thank you Elizabeth!
What a beautiful spirit and energy you have!! I love your artistic perspective! Learning about yourself through your art is such a fun way to go about making art. I really enjoyed watching this video and hearing what you liked and didn’t like about certain pieces. What a wonderful gift you are! Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you so much!
This is so liberating! I love the notion of just doing the work, and the work revealing what it’s about at the end. Thank you!!
You are so welcome!
What a breath of fresh air you are! Not being so serious, just diving into the creative process and playing with your instincts. Love it!! Thank you!
thank you xx
This is exactly the kind of work I need to do - messy play non serious AND FUN
Yes!
Totally.. when I forget this I start procrastinating and losing joy by perfectionism and high expectations etc
I just remembered i have this old, yellowed sheet music that was in the piano bench when i bought this used piano years ago.
I love the combo of black, grey, white and some yellowed page!
Thanks for sparking that!
Play day!!!!!
That sounds like it will be really cool!
I could watch this video over and over. I love the way you talk through your process. Thank you so much. I am so glad I found you on U tube and that I have joined The Tribe. So excited about embarking on a new journey.
Joined up for your course as I am loving your work. Did the 1st assignment today. I will play with black and white after watching this video. Thanks for the inspiration.
Louise, you and your art inspire me so much. You keep it fresh and fun. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much!
Perfect timing for me and for my students as well! Thank you for your generosity of information and spirit! Can’t wait for your book. Oh and your podcasts are inspiring!
Thank you!
Great video ! So inspiring, direct authentic. I love listening and watching your process Louise. Thank you!
You are so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it
Al fin alguien que realmente pinta!...Me encanta esto, es pura creatividad. Gracias Louise, me inspiras mucho!
I love how her “play” works still look like masterpieces lol.
aw thanks x
Glad to hear you mention Lewis Noble. You and he are bringing me through to something new that I can't quite see yet. I find that so many of your pieces shown here are awesome. I don't know another word for it. I get tears in my eyes. So much power and beauty. Thank you!
Excellent! Lewis is fabulous - he will be a guest on my podcast this week - check it out on Apple or Spotify - it's called Art Juice and it comes out every Tuesday xx
I spied " Canadian Club"! Thanks from Canada.
How wonderful to see your process with this, Louise! Interesting.....Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Another fantastic video from Louise. Also I am SO excited for Find Your Joy in June!! Thanks for your amazing generosity, Louise. ❤️
You are so welcome!
Loved this demo it’s one of my favorite ways to utilize all the paper I cover with marks, paint, ink and messes. I started after watching Lewis Noble , I’ve been a follower of his for quite awhile. The other thing I do to Paintings that I don’t really care about is take a 4x4 Matt and go over looking and framing out things I do like and saving them.
Yes Lewis is fabulous at this!
I so love your style, Louise. What a gift to find you and our creative spirit. Words fail. Thank you!
Thank you so much!
How many amazing shapes! I'd spend hours looking at them! 😍
Right?! All just arrived through free play
Thankyou Louise, I really need this just now. Thankyou so much for giving your time and knowledge for free, thats amazing. and rare.x
I LOVE this self-referral way of playing!!! Thank you Louise!
You're so welcome!
@@ThisPaintingLife signed up. Clearly. :)
I could watch this for hours, thanks Louise!
So glad!
Thank you. Very interesting and loved learning more about ink too!
Oh I love this exercise so much! It's got me feeling that spark of inspiration after a dreaded couple weeks of wondering if I'll ever create anything good again. I've been so stuck creatively and its maddening! I can't wait to get on this over the coming weekend to really try to explore what it is that makes my art tick for me. Thank you, Louise! I really appreciate you sharing your process with us. It's very helpful. ❤
I am so pleased!
Thank you. It’s been wonderful and exciting to watch you explore.
Glad you enjoyed it
This was inspiring. I love the idea of copying areas for collage in other pieces and tearing up paintings that didn't work. Thank you!
You are so welcome!
You always inspire me to free up. Work faster. Limit supplies. This will be a great exercise for me. Thank you!
You can do it! Have fun :)
I recently found you and so appreciate your thoughtful ideas. I liked what you just said about using scraps. I looked forward to listening and learning from you Louise.
Blessings this day.
Thank you so much!
Can't wait until June. In memory, your taster course last year felt like more than a week's worth of learning. You put do much into it and give so much. A treasure!
Great to hear!
Love your work. Been listening to your podcasts for a while now. I enjoy them while I'm creating my work. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for listening
I love your process.
thank you for enlarging my horizons. loved the way you work
Thank you for watching!
Love watching your process -- thank you ❤️
You are so welcome!
Fantastic watching your process, your ways of responding to each moment freshly as the piece evolves. Many thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Fabulous exercise and exploration. I love black and white,,,its a breath of fresh air between projects. Permission to be free and inventive…thx
Enjoyed your expertise finding what pleases ones self! Look forward to more videos. Thank you
just thrilled that i discovered you!
I love your thought process, such an inspiration. Thank you
You are so welcome!
This really deserves more views. Down to earth and focused on method. Thanks a lot.
Much appreciated!
Love watching you create !!
thanks!
Thanks for the inspiration, Louise! That looks like so much fun! I have some homemade collage papers I created with leftover paint paint from painting sessions on tracing paper that I have been itching to use for collage. Watching you is the kick I need to get going with that!
Great idea!!
I love the idea of binding your exploration pieces to refer to later.
Very inspiring. I almost gave up on abstract art after painting for a few years. I have to step back (or maybe over) to less color or just black and white. I loved your demo, very helpful, I may come back to abstract painting after playing with collages like you are showing here. Thanks again.
It's all about exploration rather than seeking a result. Have fun!
Louise I love your work. I appreciate the ideas you give me to work things out in order to find my own style. I believe this video was from three years ago, and you mentioned a free workshop you were offering June 3rd. It would be helpful if you stated the year it was for. I’m 67 and just getting into art again. Your work inspires me and makes my heart beat faster. Thank you for putting your work and techniques out there to help us.
Well the good news is that I will be hosting another one soon! So check back.
What a great exercise in spontaneity! Get in touch with intuition. Surrender judgement, the main cause of blocking creativity. Love your freedom. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely!
I loved this! Thanks for the free offering too.
You're so welcome!
I like how you voice your creative thoughts as you go or "play". I also like how you connect the shapes with linework.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! xx
Absolutly love your ink stuff. I love love love ink. Ink drawing, ink paintings I love both. I feel inspired.
I'm so glad!
Loved your messy search and inspired playful way! Thanks for your generosity! 💓🌈
Thank you so much!
I loved it!
Love it!
I love the ink and collage abstracts you made - can't wait for your course!
Yay, thank you!
Amazing juicy teaching cant wait to have a go myself. Love the idea of identifying exactly what you like and using past pieces to change a piece to make it better. What a fabulous learning experience. Sticking to one or two colours is also fabulous. I have a pot of black ink so I will have go
Thanks Louise, really enjoying your videos and helping me connect with what I love!
So glad!
Thank you very much Louise, I loved watching your video!

What a lovely process you demonstrate, Louise. It's very helpful to hear how you analyse and respond to what you have in front of you. Must remember to hang on to my 'failures' and try collaging!
Glad it was helpful!
This was my first visit..Loved it. I admire you sharing your thought process. I look forward to your June workshop! Many thanks.

Ecstatic to have found you and love the freedom of expression and playful experimentation!!

This is an aha moment for me as I watch you doing your ink and collage. I myself like to make marks first and lost and found shape later in my art. Thanks a million from the bottom of my heart. I will sign up for your free 1 week art in June. Can't wait. Thanks again Louise

Wonderful, this resonated . Yes , loved the idea of discovering and learning what we like as makers and creators and making it to please ourselves and others who like it will find it. Thanks for the collage process, you have such a wonderful way of working. Xx
Glad you found it helpful xx
So inspiring to see you work on your collages. Thanks for sharing
Glad you like them!
I was so inspired, I ordered two concertina books and did one in abstract black, white and grey plus a little blue and gold. First time doing something like this and had a blast. Thank you for the inspiration and education!
Where did you get your concertina book?
@@Christinesstory I ordered it from Jackson's art supply online. They are in the UK. A little pricey with shipping, but I can't find the concertina anywhere else.
I re use books free leaflets, buy some , make some.
@@lkrosenberg59 Jackson's Art supply- think 1 store in London UK.
I get mine from Hobbycraft @@lkrosenberg59
Thanks for a wonderful journey of following what you love. I will start looking more closely at what I love and exploring with that.
Please do! You will find a whole new world of inspiration. ♥
Thanks Louise. Love the process.
You’re welcome 😊
Wow! I love your work.
