I’ve even trying to paint abstract from Impressionism It’s been so difficult
Comment from : Pat Kaufman

I can paint still life So I thought I could surely paint an abstract painting WRONG!
Comment from : Elaine Neumann

If I don't have a point of view while painting, that should not stop you from getting something from my painting Whether it's a thought or feeling
Comment from : Mikyda3

If you have to explain what makes a good abstract painting is the start of a bad abstract painting An abstract painting is a emotion, a memory, a feeling No need for explanations nor rulesbrThe viewer will simply understand it and relate to it

Comment from : Vicki Corbett

I've been struggling in my art due to the pressures of others I feel like I have to do something good (on the eyes of others) That has made me not enjoy doing art I'm an illustrator, but I have always found abstract art to be beautiful I want to express myself, not to be good enough Thanks for the video!
Comment from : rodan

Yes
Comment from : Brook Storm

It's amazing how things fall into place I woke up today with the urge to paint but I was utterly like lost and didn't know why or what I wanted to paint And over breakfast this video came up randomly while I was searching for some insight and perspective Best 8 minutes of my morning Thank you for this treasure of knowledge
Comment from : Noel Veiga Coutinho

Comment from : HyperSis

Where you studied this course mam?
Comment from : Artists Asrifa

What a wonderful video So often you hear people talk about making Art with only one of your main focus points Either they think it is all about the rules or all about how you feel
Comment from : Christine macMacLeod

Thank you so much for your clear explanation mam And i hope now i’m clear 🥰 and again i say thank you
Comment from : Farah Razz

Thank you, Louise Such a generous and inspiring video
Comment from : Susan Stenson

Now the only question is: how do I make it say what I want it to say?brbrOnly one way to find outbrbrThank you Louise! You’ve inspired me!!
Comment from : Lorelei Rhinehart

Yes, it is very hard
Comment from : Joann Suddreth

Thank you I've been trying to explain this to my husband an myself just couldn't find the right words you nailed it
Comment from : Diana Jenkins

So not easy I end up with muttled gross colors it's hard
Comment from : Diana Jenkins

Thank you for this video! It helps me a lot!
Comment from : KuroiHato69

OH my I haven't even thought about that I just wanted to create something beautiful How does one even begin to think like that - it isn't a natural process for me Hmmm I wonder if I can get there, it's a totally foreign concept But interestingly enough Nicholas Wilton is still running that course, and I've signed up for it about a week ago So we shall see But thanks for the thoughts
Comment from : Lorraine R

Thank you Louise for your simple explanation of abstract art I always thought I'm weird and a little mad because the "traditional" art did not really attract me however I admire their work and as an newby I copy many photos/artworks but it's not feeling true to myself, I feel lonely My only painting I really love is the one I did when I was emotionally angry And it seems to me I'm the only one who loves it but it's okay

Very good advice, thanks

Have you ever wondered if abstract art might be a bit too loose these days? All my favourite abstract artists are from the 19th and early 20th century Oscar Bluemner's "Death" and "Evening Tones" spring to mind, Sayen's "Daughter in a Rocket", and Paul Klee's "Adam and little Eve" As a photographer I learnt more about photography by looking at the works of great photographers of the past I think up coming abstract artists should do likewise with great abstract artists of the past Having said that, I love abstract art over any other art genre in the same way I love street photography over landscapes
Comment from : oldproji

Gorgeous abstract design Thanks for sharing 😊
Comment from : LipsitaArt

Very interesting video thank you! Recently saw a video by an artist describing which joints - fingers, wrist, elbow, shoulder, etc - that an abstract artist paints from, that makes a big difference in the results Though this does not necessarily make a painting good or bad, he demonstrated techniques with painting examples, the motion, results, etc I am not an artist, and had never thought about that I found it interesting to think about when looking at art

Comment from : A Baltimorean Abroad

Good stuff!! My advice would be: Use big canvases, at least 80*100cm Or the impact on the viewer will to lame 2 Start by doing regular landscape as mentioned 3 Watch documentaries on Gerhard Richter, Jackson Pollock and Leonardo da Vincis Monalisa which is indeed a landscape with excellent composition tips This is not strict abstract like Piet Mondrian, bcoz that I completely don't get I am talking abstract landscape
Comment from : Plywoodcar Johnson

Louise, as one of your students I am in awe of your ability to answer my questions before I can even articulate them bWhen the student is ready the teacher will appear/b In my case, clarity of intention is my growing edge this summer I know the rest will follow Thank you
Comment from : Janet Chilton

Yes -- I think it is possible -- but it is hard to know WHY you are doing this and how to make your "moves" that make your marks and colors!
Comment from : Margaret Welty

Thank you for this insight I appreciate your art and advice
Comment from : KF2222

thank you so much! it makes so much sense and yet it's so difficult to achieve, but I finally really understood what wasn't working for me Not sure if I will ever manage to make it work, but this was so so helpful
Comment from : Dona Diani

Very, very, very difficultbut I'm determined, stubborn and Polish!😂 Trying to fix or continue takes dissapline and I'm impatient
Comment from : Dottie Seymour

How can she says it's not good abstract art when judging others Beauty is in the eye of the beholder I doubt if she's an expert on this subject

Comment from : Angus Macdonald

Louise have just started an abstract - first time and I hadn't thought, what do I want it to feel like, what am I trying to say? It looks like rubbish right now but I will keep trying cuz there is something inside of me trying to get itself on that painting!

'Of all the arts, abstract painting is the most difficult It demands that you know how to draw well, that you have a heightened sensitivity for composition and for colors, and that you be a true poet This last is essential'br- Wassily Kandinsky

Comment from : Sherri Smith

I know feel like I now need to go to art school and get a degree to be any good at abstract Seemingly I must know many many things before I can even try I believe the author here knows what she’s talking about but I’m quite discouraged after watching this
