Learn to paint, draw and print with Lou!
Teaching has been a huge part of my art practice since the very start and I love experimenting with new techniques, devising projects and sharing them with as many of you as possible in order to get you painting, drawing and printmaking. You can learn alongside me online in my regular video tutorials or in person at a workshop.
YouTube Art Channel
I’ve been creating art tutorials on YouTube since 2020. In the last two years, I’ve really focused on watercolour projects that you can follow along with if you’re a beginner and provide inspiration to more experienced artists too. Projects are varied in skill level and subject so hopefully you will find something to get you painting!
YouTube Drawing Channel
In 2023 I set up a separate account on YouTube for my pattern drawing videos. On this new channel, I show you how to draw celtic knots, geometric patterns and more organic patterns too - all in fine liner pen.
Ko-Fi Membership
If you'd like even more, I have a monthly membership available on Ko-fi, a platform for supporting artists. I offer exclusive monthly video tutorials and behind-the-scenes posts about artist business and life from as little as £2 on a one-off or monthly basis. I'm enjoying making pattern-of-the-month videos for all my supporters.
