Oh wow! I’m so glad I found you!! This is a fantastic video and exactly the info I needed to hear… I was always big on the desire to learn and become a better artist, but then had no clue where to start or how to put a plan together to teach myself. (You don’t know what you don’t know… 🤷🏻‍♀️) Thanks to you I now have a game plan!! You are brilliant! ❤ Thank you!

[Kozette]

I appreciate you so much. There is a big difference between art school and art class. I needed structure along with my weekly affordable art classes. Thank you 🙏🏽

[Gleamiarts]

I've been feeling intimidated by self learning and this video is really helpful!

[reflejarte]

I could spend the whole day watching your videos. You are a great speaker!

[SimoneWhippArtist]

Hi Louise! Very informative video. I am a self-taught artist finding my way without any formal art training. It is a great idea to set a personalized curriculum for learning. Good luck with your channel! 😊

[QQ-reix]

This is exactly what I’ve been looking for! Thank you for sharing your personalized curriculum and art journey. I was really overwhelmed and exhausted by too many information. Your video is the most informative one ever!❤

[salwashams]

I cannot express in words how useful this information was for me..I have been searching on the Internet and watching different YouTubers including the big and famous ones but none of them explained it in clarity compared to you :)

[WeblightDreams]

Very helpful video. I'm a self-taught artist before I could finally take some art courses in college.

[ExpressYourselfLearning]

Love this! So helpful. Taken some notes on things that apply to me and then looking at those resources. Thanks!

Just came across this video and have subscribed. This will help me a lot. Thank you.❤

[Narja]

I've bing watched your videos, and i just wanted to say thank you! I took a lot of art classes in schools and all, and i'm coming back to the fundamentals lately! Your videos are very helpful and a real breath of fresh air (especially the one about sketchbook! Thank you so much for that!)

[aliviabatuparan]

Hi, thank you for this video! I, too, wants to learn urban sketching and watercolor so I'm really excited to learn together with you.

[sergiogonzales]

I know now what to focus on now and know that it most likely will need to be done in split up sections. Thank you 🙏🏼 ✌🏼

[rainastor]

I really enjoy your personality and this is a huge synchronicity because I have this very morning been trying to figure this stuff out. I started using youtube videos based on the pomodoro method of 50 minutes work and ten minutes break, they have them like with a Hogwarts theme, or LOTR. Which, I know it might be slightly pathetic that I need that but I do. It’s like being in highschool with classes. To then the thought…. What should my classes be? and here you are!

[Shadowkitty]

You are so good at breaking things down. Thank you for this video!

[anuskadesaii]

Hi Louise! I’m a 16 yr old self taught artist from India. What a brilliant video and really amazingly explained by you! Thank you so much for making the art curriculum so easy for me. 👏🏼
I just had a question that how much time shall we give per unit?

[daisydaffsforever]

Thanks for your information and how to set out a framework. I made lots of notes and subscribed for more help and informaton

[Kitty-igyh]

I plan on taking classes at my local community college. But for now I just keep sketching things I enjoy, which are birds and flowers.

[SeonasStudio]

Oh I just found you and already watched everything and now I want more!! 😊

[stephaniecorbett]
