I’ve only just found these. They’re delightful. So clear. So intelligent. So gentle. So skilled. It is such a relief to have just natural sounds with your voice instead of the all pervasive music that so many amateurs think they must use. And the out takes - that shows a delightful modesty as well as an endearing sense of humour . . . I love them xx

@debrajones2234 4 жыл бұрын

I really like the way you put your photo reference on screen while painting. Most painting tutorials fail to do this,and it's a very important part of of learning by comparing the reference with the painting. I taught art for a couple of decades and I am very impressed with your teaching style.

Thank you Louise for showing and explaining your process so clearly. The end result is great! It was really helpful and has inspired me to try again. My first attempt at doing a portrait was of a girl with tight corkscrew curls....I was really happy with her face, but the hair was a disappointment. Next time, will try straight hair! Many of us watching your videos assume you're just a brilliant all - round artist, so it does give us hope when we see you going outside of your comfort zone and trying to improve your skills. Please show more of these!
