At the moment I feel I’ll never be able to paint again. I can’t get back into it😢I feel so sad. I was ripped apart by a So called Art teacher she told me one of my paintings was mad. I’ve never had such an experience, I keep telling myself to man up ! but I can’t stop thinking of the put down. I’m hoping if I keep watching you you’ll help me cos your so inspirational. ❤

Thank you so much for sharing not only your skills and talents but your frustrations too. Very generous.

I completely understand how easy it is to loose excitement in a painting and find myself at a stand still. Once I get to a point in a painting where I am just making changes but not actually making improvements I put it away for awhile. I love your work and your videos have shown me how to loosen up and not focus on the end results. I have learned a great deal. Thank you 🙏

yes, the creative feelings come and go and when they come they are so strong I'll paint for hours and days in a row. Then when I am out of ideas ...nothing. Music is a must!

The more I paint, and the more I draw, the more I overcome roadblocks... I have learned to expect creativity lulls once in a while, and thus take a break from the art piece. Your art demonstrations are very inspirational!🌺

I believe it was Van Gough who said 'Many painters are afraid of the blank canvas but the blank canvas is afraid of the painter who dares and who has broken the spell of "you can't" once and for all'. :) I've been experimenting with scratching words into the painting. They are very subtle, almost invisible (because I use a lot of scratching anyway) but worth putting in I think. I'm also realising the importance of 'horizons' in landscape painting and beginning to explore making the horizon subtle and broken and as close as possible to 'not there'. It's an interesting experimental process and as you say in the video, that's what keeps it fresh and sends me to the studio six days a week!

Funny thing is I just started going through all my unfinished paintings trying to figure out what to do and just like that you come out with this video! I usually wind up with something completely abstract and crazy when I rescue a forgotten painting. It’s very freeing to just let the process take over and not even think about where it will go. The end result can be quite amazing.

A great reminder - thank you! I was struggling with a painting this morning and your video helped me to reframe the process - 😊

Yes I feel that way quite a lot...I am disabled so I go to the internet and watch people like you paint...This is where I get inspired...Sometimes I look at pictures etc. etc...

Totally agree Marie Louise, I get those frustrations as well at times. Experimentation as well, completely agree with you on that.

You are so right in everything you tell us. I will try again. Thanks !😊

Once again thank you.

Practice, practice, practice!

I agree .this happens to me a lot.👍

What wonderful advice. This is my next job. To do a fun experimental work that Iwill learn from.

I enjoy your art videos pretty much. Thank you.

"Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work." - Chuck Close 👍

Beautiful done and said💛 I regonize everything!!

Yes !! It keeps happening to me too ! Thank you ! For the encouragement !

Yes this happens to me all the time! Sometimes I just have to give up and give in to the process!

Wonderful video. Thank you !!! Play and experimentation is so important.........

Thank you for this video and for the encouragement and inspiration. For so long I focused on the finished painting, even when I was just starting the painting, and then always expected it to be very good otherwise I felt discouraged. Enjoying the the actual process is so important. I keep reminding myself of this truth. Thank you again for your video which all struggling artists need to watch. Colin. England.

I love your work ❤

Lady your brilliant given me so many new ideas in my paintings thank you if I could show you some of my work I would

In this video I´m going to talk about the importance of experimentation and play when painting and creating artwork. And I will share how I bring these elements into my own art making process and why it is such a powerful way to improve your painting skills and artwork. I started this painting over the Summer but haven't worked on it in a couple months. I wouldn't necessarily say that I was stuck but my original idea had changed.I thought I was going in one direction with the painting but I lost the excitement I had for it. Take a look and see what I did to change all that and how you can use this approach on your own art making journey. ►► Get my FREE GUIDE - 5 Proven Ways To Loosen Up Your Painting Style www.danishpainter.com/5-proven-ways-to-loosen-up-your-painting-style

Thank you for reminding me to listen to that nice voice.

Very helpful as I am newer to painting!

I know exactly what you mean! Beautiful painting 😍

Hello from Birmingham/England. I was looking for inspiration and I found some watching your KZfaq clips. Thank you very much. One of my mums best friends is Danish and I love her very much. Watching your KZfaq clips made me think of her and that added to the fact I liked your paintings (they are really extremely beautiful) and your attitude of freedom and playfulness in art, letting go of wanting to control it all and just go with the flow is the right attitude in my opinion. I love it! Thanks a million.🙂

Love it

Hi Marie Louise! It's me jade :) this is the channel I'll have art on one day if I get find the guts to do it :) I just happened to be on this channel when I had your video pop up and had to watch it right away and comment as soon as I did because it's great :) But this is seriously one of the best motivational videos! I, right now, have several canvases that I hit a point and was afraid to mess up what I had and wasn't sure then what I wanted to do so they just sit. I'm afraid of ruining them, even though they're just sitting, undone for no reason You're absolutely right about just taking a step, not thinking too much about what it should be, but just move! Such awesome advice! I need to be bold and also relax and just go for it. As you said, worst case, I paint over and have some added texture. I tend to worry about wasting paint because I feel I've not made what I wanted to or think its ugly...but I've wasted paint by hiding a partly painted canvas away because I don't know what to do with it...so why not just play and try things out anyway?! Exactly right!! Hopefully my hands will work good enough this week and I can do that, because I'm very excited about that. And great music playing ALWAYS makes things more fun :) I always play music when drawing or painting too :) I feel like it let's you move to the beat and sing along and have fun! I'll watch this again when I'm ready to paint to remind myself of these things :) Thanks so much!! 🥰 Also, I get used to seeing you working in your sketchbooks, so when you moved in front of the painting it took me a sec to realize how large the canvas was!! I know you normally do large work on canvas, but it threw me for a sec...so funny :)

Thank you

Really lovely 😊

you are magnificent , I adore your style and your Art

Its🎉 nice.. lovely touch. Chattisgarh State.

So wise

Like always, it's a very helpful video ;) I try a lot of things....sometime it's nice but not very often...it's enough for me to be happy.... and when the result it's not here, my best friend's name is Gesso! thank you so much for sharing with us your Art.

I am so appreciative of established painters who are so generous with their information. I have given tips to a watercolorist during the opening of a gallery show where some of my work was displayed and that artist was so happy with new information! You may teach a technique, and if I do it, it will be different from how you do it, so VIVE LA DIFFERENCE! Tak!!!!

Paint. Fail. Learn. Grow. Enjoy. Repeat.

Great tips ..Spray paints area me a bit..I would try with trepidation. Lol

It is frustrating sometimes when the first paint and colour goes on, then the anxiety kicks in, how is it turning out, are the colours right, am I achieving the style and result in how I want it to look , it's challenging 🤔

Oh ja, jag känner igen mig 😊

Have tried to download your free guide bu I keep going round in circles and ending up at your excellent video with no download. Help needed. J.

I have seen things differently by turning painting upside down# 😲

Very nice painting. But please be careful with painting spray, it is dangerous for your lungs. In the studio where I paint together with others it is not allowed using spray. And without a mask is evven worse. Excuse for being so negative, but this is so important.
