I love how your skies have such celestial drama!

This showed up in my feed this morning. I’ve watched it before, but today was extra-inspiring. Thanks for sharing your vision.

I love your paintings and style..loose.. My favorite art was always impressionist with no people. Like Van Gogh, Monet, Matisse. Now retired have time to do the things I loved to do as a child. Watching you I am learning to paint loose which is my intention but I often make it something..but I don’t want it to be clear..like a photo. I love how your colors mix and is not one way of creating the painting, I like using my hands. I like adding my chalk. I am getting better. I just finished a big painting that I really like and proud of. Yes it is loose, nice colors. Now after this lesson I am going to use those colors and make it with more water. Thank you. ❤

Thank you for showing your process. Your subtle changes make such a difference.

I looked at the scetchbooks of young Picasso. He uses a lot dry pastel on guache. We would call it today mix media. :) But he simply was collecting his ideas and observations. He discovered photography mush later in his life, but used it too. And he predominantly drew people. Than. Later he used the still life to create compositions. But his cubist explorations began with landscape. What I remember he suposedly sayed was: collors are not important. You use them only to make gradations from dark to light and mark warm against cold. That was all. :) He even limited to just 1 color - blue. Greys wold warm it. Plus black. Amasing. Pink is a cold collor too. Just like blue. I do find both rather dificult for a beginner to imagine the warms and use predominantly colds. Not only that, but colds do allways tend to look darker and looms the danger to darken too much the work. Or make it too And the funny thing is they do look warmer when mixed with white too. It is very impressive to observe this when reaching for them. In his early works those collors were adding for more symbolism. In his landscapes he used good old green, black, white and some warm red, like english red f.i. Both very thick covering paints that you can manipulate endlessly to subdue them. But many won't find them much appealing for today standarts. And his method is simple too. 1. Mark the big shapes and directions with 4 basic collors: light, dark, cold and warm. 2. Brake the big shapes into smaller to connect them within. 3. Find the darkest and lightest spots and shape carefully the plases of interest, simultaneously subduing the rest of the shapes to them. It sounds easy, but is very tricky. And there is another thing : constantly keep track of the composition. All this has to be rulled by that. Not what you see infront of you, but on your canvas. No mater if your painting is abstract, semy-a or realistic. So what I see the Danish painter does is just that. Big shapes, break and connect, hit the accents. Sorry for making it too long. :) I love what you do. Keep on making everybody happy like you do now.❤

You give the best advice: make painting a journey, not a destination. Thank you so much for your frequent videos! (I’m glad you’re feeling better too 😊)

I like different techniques. I could see using method in the sky

Very grateful for what you are sharing. Beautiful advice and a big inspiration for moving forward and daring to explore new ways of expressing. Thank you from Canada.

Sehr schöne Bilder 👌👍💖

Hello fellow Painters ⭐⭐⭐ Welcome to the last video of 2022. We had snow recently and those beautiful snow covered landcapes were the inspiration behind the video today. Happy holidays and Happy New Year - see you next year for a fabulous and creative 2023! Seasons greetings and best wishes, Marie Louise

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 💐💐💐💐

Nice job thanks dear friend

I think you've obtained particularly extraordinarily beautiful effects here 🎉 I love watching your videos - thanks so much ❤

Thank you. Just gorgeous

LOVED this video. Thank you for sharing

Beautiful!!!

Awesome as always. Thank you.

Love your work❤

Thanks

Whenever I need inspiration I view your videos. Thank you.

Very beautiful paintings. Thanks for sharing.

Really enjoyed listening to your explanations as well as watching your progress and colour choices. Thank you.

beautiful as always, love your style and paintings!!

Love these! Thanks for the video as always.

As always, awesome video and great advice! I bought spiral bound books of watercolor paper, large and small, years ago because of you and one other, for this very thing. I love being able to get at least 2 or more on the larger ones. Got them on sale and I wasn't insanely worried about the brand, as long as it was 140lb... but that gave me the feeling of being free to play and try stuff out...whether acrylic, watercolor, charcoal or whatever... it somehow frees me up and feels less stressful. On a canvas or my good paper, I'm nervous to "mess it up"... but with plenty of pages and I can use both sides if I wanted to, it gives me a place to try out something I'm thinking about, maybe a new thing I want to try, without the stress of that big white canvas or good paper. I know I can paint over the acrylic on canvas as much as I want, and I've set aside 1 canvas for just that.... with recent surgical mishaps, I can't use my arms very well, and being down a lung, I have no energy... but, I set up 1 canvas that, when I feel that NEED to feel the paint, I can just walk over and grab any color and do a swoosh or 2, and leave it at that, and I'll just go until its filled, then start again. When I'm really not doing well but have to do something, I don't even use a brush☺I just get a blob on my finger and swoosh it on that way...much less clean up ;) But with the paper I can keep something I do like, even if only part of a page, and again, lots of pages :) I just love to watch you paint :) it brings me a ton of joy. And that color pallette is just gorgeous!!! And also thank you for those bits of scenery there! Its SO beautiful!! And that dusty rose color is just gorgeous!! Thanks as always for making my day :) Hope you are doing alright and can stay cuddled up nice and warm!🥰

Excellent Louise your a wonderful teacher

Beautiful colors! You are always inspiring…now I need to paint. 😉 Thank you!

Thank you for all of the wonderful encouragement to continue on an artistic journey to discovery. Very inspiring. Hope you have a wonderful holiday (despite all of the snow!)

Beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing your process.

Lovely as usual. I love you attitude and I love your paintings ❤

Thank you for the video. Beautiful paintings.

Wonderful painting !!!!!

Thank you so much for every video. You are amazing! 🤗

Love your tutorials. You are super kind in sharing. I want to get pro at your style of landscape painting. Thank you immensely for teaching us.

These were so beautiful! I love how you work on a series at the same time. I need to try this. It would definitely take the pressure off and let me feel free to experiment. I'm almost done knitting gifts for friends and am really excited to get back to painting! Thank you also for the reminder of your guide to paint looser. I need to print it out. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎄

Thanks for tips and advises !! I love to learn more about abstracts … I got the loosen up tips!! Thank you 🌹

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your process. I am also trying to loosen up my painting style. It is very hard after painting realism. Will keep on trying!

Thank you, Dankeschön und Grüsse nach Dänemark.

Thank you for an inspiring and informative video.👍

Thankyou for sharing - I’d like to give this ago - always struggling to trust myself and be looser and more expressive.😬

Absolutely love these so much!!! Yes I’m inspired. Never done landscapes but only you make me wanna try!

Lovely! Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy seeing the videos and photos of your local landscape and would like to see a few more as part of your painting videos. Especially as I’m stuck at home with Covid at the moment! Jill 🇬🇧

Really enjoyed watching this. You know I like your work. But again, you can feel the mood and ambience in these studies. Thank you again Marie Louise.

Many Thanks for your inspiring videos, helping me on my abstract landscape journey. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Another fabulous video… thank you Marie Louise. I’ve bought some of the Woody water soluble crayons… they’re great fun and really help me to loosen up. I wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I look forward to more inspirational videos from you in 2023. Mick. 😊🎄🎄🎄

Excelente el clima de estas pinturas!!! muchas gracias por compartir tus obras.

Ive recently discovered you and im so glad. You have amazing teaching qualities, easy to understand and above all your work is beautiful. 🙂👍👍

I started painting along as soon as I got notification that your video is up. I love practicing looseness with you and always get inspired to play. Thank you and merry Christmas, Marie-Louise. 🎄🌟🎨

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻🎨🤔

Thank you for this video. A good reminder of the techniques used in your online course. Will get back to those lessons and practice today. A good painting day in southern Ontario, snow and grey skies. Very moody. Inspiring. Merry Christmas.

Amazing🙏 Thank you for another inspiring video. Love your advice about a journey when you paint❤️

Thank you so much for this. I come from a watercolour background, but have recently felt the urge to try acrylics. Your tutorial is far and away the the best ‘how to’ tutorial for people like me. Thank you also for your free guide. Now I’m off to sign up to one of your courses. Excited!

Your videos enable me to enjoy the Danish winter colours here in Australia without the cold and snow. So, so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your passion and techniques and providing inspiration to frolick. Wishing you and your loved ones a wonderful Christmas. - Roz

Is it possible to number each video for me to be able to find them, when i want to get back to them? There are so many. I saw Bob Blasts recently, and he gave all his videos numbers and it works wonders.

lol you made me laugh when you were mixing the burnt umber and said it looks like gravy and then later added subtitles about already thinking about holiday cooking 😅

I love your paintings🤗the colourcombination is beautiful in every work of you. But I think its difficult for me to paint so loosely. I tried it some times, but I have to do it probably more often. Your landscape is so nice in Denmark and offers so interesting motives. Thank you very much for your Videos you share with us. Have a nice creative and healthy New Year. Best greetings from Marion in lower saxony, Germany, Hannover

Great video! Do you let each layer dry before adding the next color?

fantastically nice video that you are immediately inspired by. lovely colors - have a question though. do you put your finished works in a frame with glass? I look forward to following you in 2023. greetings DK jeanettel

Hi! I love your channel and your tutorials ❤. Thank you so much!!! Do you use reference photos?? I think it would be difficult to paint without a reference photo. Thank you 😊

Very inspiring video, as are all of them thank you. I have a question please? What sort, and brand, of crayons are you using to get the loose effect? I love the idea of this but don't know what to buy to achieve the look. TIA.

Hello Dear Marie Louise, Where I can get your 5 tipps you mentioned in this video...Many thanks in Advanced and best wishes oft 2023 🍀🍀🍀
