I'm Louise Fletcher and I help artists to find their own unique voice. I work full-time as an artist. but I also teach online courses and run a membership community. My mission it to help everyone unleash their creative potential by providing insights, ideas, support and inspiration.
I post practical tips such as colour mixing and composition, I share demos from my studio and I also offer mindset tips. As the founder of the Find Your Joy online course, I passionately believe that the only thing getting in the way for most artists is their own mindset. If we let go of limiting beliefs and embrace our true potential, we can make amazing art that resonates with others.

Using black to really make your colours sing
Переглядів 8 тис.Місяць тому
In today's video, I want to chat about something that's near and dear to every artist's heart: the so-called "rules" of creating art. I'm a firm believer that there are no hard and fast rules in art. In fact, whenever I come across one, I make it my mission to break it and see where it takes me. One rule that often gets thrown around is about the color black so today I want to share 3 really co...
Why are you making your art?

So stick around for this vide...

How to create layers and textures in acrylics
I'm hooked on your teachings Louise. I have learned more from you in just a few short edisodes than I have in all the research I've done since I started painting in 2021. You are an amazing educator! 🌹
Wow! You have no idea how much this has helped me Louise. The way you have explained this makes what I've tried to find out about the colour wheel and how to get me colours to harmonize just "click" into place. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I am an adult educator and I can say from my heart of hearts that you are one of the few 'natural' educators. 💐🤗
Hi Louise. I've just recently come across your teachings and art and all I can express right now is my gratitude to you for sharing your wisdom with us. Only last night I was asking myself "how do I find my voice if I enjoy different kinds of art". I know I love exploring abstract/intuitional acrylic abstract, but I also love working on highly textured canvasses, and because I battle to keep my paintings minimalist but love the concept of minimalist abstract, I have tried and love pushing myself out of my comfort zone into more minimalistic, Wabi Sabi style paintings, both textured and untextured. You video today has helped me to realise that it's OK to do all of these and to find my own unique voice in each. Thank you sweet lady 💐💝
You always have important thoughts you express which resonates with me. I can hear myself saying inside my head and heart, yes yes THATS exactly how I feel too. I want to paint. I want to do collage with acrylics, but I don’t know how. I just Have to! As I write my stomach is doing flip flops from just thinking about art. I’ve learned so much from the videos of yours I’ve seen. Thank you so much for being real.
What are the cards you used - are they just white labels ?
Yes! I'd like to know too, please!
Mega thanks Louise! I am watching this 2 years after you did this vid however it feels so so fresh and honestly relevant as though you were speaking to me directly in person. You’re a gem!
Great! Thanks
Looking forward to more color-mixing videos! 😊
I needed some encouragement today that’s why I’m listening to this. Thank you so much Louise! You are not only a great artist but also very generous for sharing positive mindsets ❤❤
what....
Hi Louise - love your UA-cam videos and I would love to take one of your courses. Do you have an upcoming free course? Thank you.
Aww thank you! Hopefully soon. Stay tuned!
Great video thankyou
Glad you enjoyed it
I LOVE your book! I enjoy your process and philosophy about art. Thank you for your inspiration!
You are so welcome!
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.
I have been wanting to paint on wooden panels for a while Do i have to purchase any specific type of wood? Once it is ‘prepared’, is it archival? Thank you so much for your attention!
I’m returning to art after decades of a nursing career. My previous art experience was as a commercial artist, where everything was planned and executed with precision. I’m currently in CVP and am learning so much valuable information. Even with all that wonderful knowledge, I need to master covering and uncovering and recovering….that is a new practice for me and it’s a completely different mindset.
Best of luck and good for you for picking it back up!
81 trying something new, love your words.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Loved this demo! Thanks a lot!
My pleasure!
Great🎉
Thanks 😄
Thank you. I’m learning a lot from you I.e. contrasts. How vital they are to a painting.
You are so welcome and always happy to help 😄
I get it. You put Inyo words what I feel about wanting to create abstract art. Thank you
I love the deconstructing at the end, the colours, the energy and the video was great showing your processes , thanks so much , now to subscribe ❤
Thank you so much!
I love your podcast so much! You two are amazing and so very much fun. Thank you for all that you give.
Our pleasure!
Lovely colors! Very nice video!
Thank you! Cheers!
hi, how do you keep the acrylics wet?
Wonderful video. Thank you so much. What paper do you use?
Love watching you work your magic. Never disappointed in your paintings and I always come away with a new idea or two. Thank you for sharing. ❤
Enjoyed that one. I really have to try some. Took your taster course- very helpful. Let go & create!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you, Louise. You are amazing 👏 ❤
Thank you so much! 😀
Thank for not opening your video showing your HANDS TALK 🙏. It's not good, it's not fun for the viewer. I Have a few learning disabilities , when I watch your videos I get exactly what you say, and you are going to be showing us in your video. You walk us through and then you show us, perfect. Thank you
So glad you enjoy them!
I want to thank you so much for always being just about the art you start your class/ video off talking about what you are going to do in this video . I really appreciate that you DON'T, TALK ,TALK , TALK, about about your title of the video/class. I always walk away learning something thank you. You keep it short and to the point. Thank u 💓
You are so welcome!
Thanks so much for sharing your insights and advice! Always so very helpful! ❤
You are so welcome!
and also the words and thoughts after going through the paintings are just so true.
Love the work and also the sketchbooks😃
Thank you so much 😀
Just saw this one. Absolutely love the prossess and the result. I can see small scenaries in the skin because of your use of colors ❤
Glad you like it!
Love it when you learn the right thing at the right time! Thanks Louise!
You're so welcome!
There is another approach towards abstract art: create enough suggestions or implied forms, minimally described, so that the viewer can project their own meanings in it. Don't expect an artist to emphasize a focal point or mood or consideration, just enough painterly content to attract your eye so that you spend time with it. Viewers will 'make something of it'. Anything that the artist does to make a point to the painting is likely to force the viewer to lose out on the opportunity to see a painting in its multiplicity - like we see other people in their multiplicity. It is time for art to shine as something that people can have a long lasting relationship with, and not be just a 'thing'.
Still the same principles apply
Thank you♥️
You’re welcome 😊
I like having nueturals mixed with more pure color for contrast, maybe mud is an ugly nuetural ? Thanks again for the video 🎉
You are so welcome!
A truly beautiful and helpful video. Having listened to many artists try to explain their process and intention over the last 50 years, your presentation is extremely down-to-earth and insightful - a tricky thing to achieve in my opinion because it's about the process of engaging deep levels of abstraction within the artist in order to render an abstract image in a physical form, a painting. You hit all the major points in a very clear way. I love your emphasis on the fundamental skills that are always needed: use of color, value, and composition. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it x
Awesome STUFF You showing. Real impressive and mind swirling )
Glad you enjoyed it 😍
Great advice
Thank you!
Thank you
You're welcome
Very good tip on harmony and colors
Glad you think so!
I really like this tip. Very helpful
Glad you like it!
I love all the changes...really interesting!
Glad you liked it!
Thank you so much Louise for sharing your thoughts about your art and how what happens when you get rejected. I live in a small community and each year were have a craft show. I show my art but I do not get any interest, so this makes me think my art is not good. And makes me think I should give up.
I’m in week seven of CVP and he’s included a journal aspect to it as well.
Sounds like you are enjoying it!
Where do you buy the alcohol please
You'd have to google wherever you live
Very cool, thank you
You are so welcome. ❤
