ABOUT

Hi, I’m Louise: an artist, writer & creative solopreneur from Sweden. As a multi-passionate creative, I have spent my entire adult life avoiding traditional employment and instead making a living off of my art.
On this channel, I talk about everything I've learned along the way: About art making, creativity, mental health, and making a living as a creative. Dealing with perfectionism, fears, and overwhelm. Staying sane and productive among stress and distractions. And much more.

When it comes to removing tape from the paper, I always find it useful to heat the tape with a blow-dryer. Not sure if you knew about this trick but yeah, it's a good one :)

Hi there! I recently discovered you and I am happy I did. You have a calming presence and your art is beautiful. I also enjoyed your videos on art for self care and leaving IG. I'm off of social media except for YouTube and Discord and I'm much happier for it! I look forward to watching more of your channel! 🙏🏼✨

Hey Louise thanks for sharing your art supplies have you used magic spong? I think it's Frisk? Sorry I don't have the wrapping for exact name but it's good for erasing watercolour when it's dry you wet the spong and it's a life saver! Have a lovely weekend love your channel💜

Check out fabriano artistico paper. Is also 100% cotton and affordable. I buy 56x70cm sheets and I cut them my self in custom dimensions. Thanks for sharing.

Do you find the canson watercolor paper to be the same in the new format or did they change the formula of the paper or the price? I've noticed that in the last past year they have changed the format in all their lines but I have yet to buy paper again so I was wondering.
I know that in the pastel paper they went from selling 30 page blocs for 10€ to selling 20page blocs for the same price, which is annoying.
