In today’s video, I’m sharing what I do when a painting just isn’t working—when it feels stuck, overworked, or lifeless. Instead of giving up, I lean into the mess. I let go of what’s holding me back, layer over what’s not working, and give myself permission to start fresh right on the same canvas. This abstract demo is all about trusting the process, embracing the unknown, and remembering that sometimes the best way forward… is to shake things up.

Yesterday’s painting got a new approach after words of wisdom from @c.s.mcintire and @georginanoeleft. I released so much onto this canvas. I’m not sure I’ll even try to ‘resolve’ it. I’m starting to think that, for me, painting is more about healing than anything. Maybe I’ll just stop when I feel I’ve let go of whatever needed to be released. Maybe that’s enough x | Louise Fletcher - Art

Last night’s painting session was a rollercoaster. Things got better and then worse .. and then maybe better again and then ‘oh my God what’s that?’ I used to think this was wrong. I used to think I should know how to skip some of these stages. But now I see the value in the struggle. The struggle gives the paintings their soul and their heart. The mistakes tell the story - just like life. I hope that looking at one of my finished paintings is like looking at life - the missteps, the imperfectio

Watch this sneak peek as I create an abstract painting from scratch, building layer after layer, looking for just the right mood and feeling. And then watch as I push right past the finish line, turning an exciting abstract into “blah.” Every artist knows this feeling, and we wish we could press an ‘undo’ button to get back to what we lost.

After a drought, I found my way back to painting by doing the things I love - using mixed media, painting freely, limiting my palette, and finding new ways to apply paint. I started letting my intuition lead me once more and it feels SO good! But here’s the thing about art - what is right for me won’t be right for you. Each of us needs to find our own way into this. Each of us needs to navigate through the weeds and notice the things we love and keep doing more of them, and before long we start

Want a fun, low-pressure way to practice composition? ✂️ Instead of reaching for paint, I love using pure collage. With just paper and glue, you can quickly shift things around until they click—and before you know it, you’ve got a sketchbook full of fresh experiments and new ideas. If your compositions are starting to feel a little stale, or if you just want to strengthen your skills, try starting a collage sketchbook. It’s fast, flexible, and surprisingly fun—and it might just unlock your next

This week, I demonstrate how I’ve been using stencils to make my own collage paper for use in my paintings. I find that I achieve a different, looser feel by painting onto tissue paper and gluing it down than if I had just painted directly onto the board. I love seeing the contrast between the stencil designs and the hand painted bits. Let me know if you try incorporating stencils into your paintings and how they turn out!

We have this idea that we need certain conditions to paint. More space. More peace. Better materials. But none of it is true. I am on a painting retreat. I have very limited tools, and I’m in a cramped space. There are people all around me and loud music playing. None of it is what I would choose … and yet, I am having real breakthroughs. Sometimes limitations are the very thing we need :) | Louise Fletcher - Art

Last week was all about sketchbooks. It was about paint and graphite and charcoal. It was about words and symbols and scribbles and raw mark-making. It was about paint on my hands and face and clothes. And right before I left the studio for a week, it was about taking the leap into something BIG! | Louise Fletcher - Art

I am sitting in Genoa airport waiting for a flight home. I may or may not be ill. I am definitely exhausted! I have never spent so much dedicated time on painting … no-one counting on me. No admin. No teaching. No dog walks. It was wonderful. But also truly exhausting. I need a day in bed when I get home! Thanks @art2life_world for a great week x | Louise Fletcher - Art

You’ve watched all the tutorial videos. Collected all the supplies. Saved all the inspo. But when it’s time to actually paint something… you freeze. What if it turns out you’re not “good”? What if you’re doing it wrong? What if you never figure out your style? Here’s the truth: You don’t need more tutorials. You need a space to explore. To experiment.
