My father took me to a little shop of a local sign board painter in kabul in 1992. It was the time of civil war in Afghanistan, and as a 9 year old child, I experienced a lot of trauma. My school was taken over by displaced families, and there was no electricity and war in the streets. But I remember going to that painter shop and learning drawing faces and drew all along. I remember my waiting for my teacher to give me a reference drawing to take home and draw. There was no quality paper available. Todays office printer paper was a luxury. Me and my brother would by 10 pages at a time. Now I am 41 years old, living in Canada, and when I look back, I feel how important that art class was for me in cooping with what was going on in the outside world. I still google Maps the location of that little shop and wonder where my art teacher would be now, if still alive.

Thank you I was ab artist😊. I honestly have a degree and even had a license a a person who can restore icons and paintings . But our government had declared a law that restoring paintings could nit be a personal deal 😊

What color is the paint on your studio walls? I would love to paint my walls that color and may even try painting a picture after watching this video. Thanks!

"Runaway Pile" is a great term.

Good afternoon! A few days ago I discovered your UA-cam channel and I think you have a painting style that I can somewhat manage as a beginner painter. I haven’t seen all of your videos yet, so if you mention it already, I’m sorry. Do you have experience in water mixable oils? A shop nearby has a 50% discount on their Winsor and Newton Artisan paint. I have only a little experience with acrylics, but they dry a bit too quick for my pace. Do you know if I can use my acrylic paint brushes I have at home already for water mixable oils? Because they can also be washed with water and soap. Or do I then ruin the brushes when I want to paint with acrylics again later on? Have a nice day!

The final painting is far superior to the AI version.

You can load anything into a color and make it do what you need. The point is, titanium mixes a certain way. Iron oxide black mixes down into a warm grey- brownish. Ivory black has a blue undertone due to the ultra marine it contains. Its not that it's easy or hard to overcome, but knowing that it is there TO overcome. This is why artists need to know how the pigment is made, and what it blends down into, simply knowing makes using it easy.

The concept of cheating probably came out from the 1960s when it's all about self expressionism.

I liked the Poky blending better

What a beautiful painting 😊

Is that why when you when watch artists begin a painting they often paint the whole canvas a different colour all over first and when they do the painting that colour is not anywhere to be seen . Instead of painting directly on white ? I have seen that happen often when watching people on yourube or TV's Britains Portrait artist of the year in the UK is that better than painting directly on to white . I have often wondered why they do that .

Thank you very much that was a really interesting thought provoking video . Especially about the children in the concentration camp . Yes it's interesting to see when art is not allowed how much that affects people and us individually . The joy of being creative is so important whatever it is .

As a Christian, I believe that our creativity is partially how we are created in the image of God. We see His creativity in His creation and we desire to create as well. Doing art is also a great way to get your mind off troubling matters in life for a time.

Very informative video, many thanks.

bohoo at blendy and poky ! :D

Thank u very much... Im a begginer in painting.. and by this video u have answered to my question about mixing color... Hope u anderstand me😅

Thank you. See U

If you are mixing the paints and applying it by hand, that's all that matters.

is it the right mixing Prussian blue from French Ultramarine，and I add some Burnt Umber，because I wanna get dark French Ultramarine，but the Burnt Umber will make the blue color less, right or not? so what can I do to get the Prussian blue?

very useful thansk

Mark, I agree. Art changes lives. I always wanted to paint and when I finally did in my mid fifties it changed my life. It felt like coming home. Now I’m teaching and coaching painting with oil, acrylics, tempera in realistic, abstract and also intuitive art. It’s mind blowing cool to see people change.

Bouguereau , Elizabeth Gardner-Bouguereau, Cave, LeFebvre, Doyen, Delobbe --they inspire me--they are the BEST! :) KImberly

thanks for being transparent. I don't like AI images though. I think it is cooler to make it all yourself and light it and bring in things etc. Most people don't seem to have ideas and imagination anymore and I would think that AI is not a substitute for being unimaginative. Using it shuts down the imagination. That is what I contest. I didn't like any of the AI images that were shown. Use the imagination or ability to envision or loose it.

I can only draw a stick person.

Working on long painting atm and this video has come to me in a time of crisis. Exactly what I needed, I am eternally grateful thank you 🙏

I think it can be like meditation. It quiets the mind and allows flow and inspiration. Athletes do the same when they get into the zone of state or flow. You know when it feels good it’s for you. I blame my mom for thinking I was an artist when I made marks on the wall as a baby. She may have manifested my career choice. Like a mom she said she was so moved it was dramatic - and then years later art appreciation was like osmosis and effortless. So I just knew it was for me. But I think as long as we follow our bliss we can do or be anything. Art is about appreciation which like love is the highest state of being so no wonder it feels good when we let go of the struggle and allow inspiration to flow. 💖

Very useful advice, much appreciated! It’s amazing how much texture tightly rendered paintings actually have

New subscriber ❤ maybe painting will help my depression 😢

I know you should take a statement in spirit it's given, but "It looks just like a photo" is really not a good thing.

. We are creatures that need to create because we come from a Master Creator, and we have been created onto His image.

The brush must sand walk

Thank you sir.

I loved every word you said ❤

Depression is often a lack of expression.

Something i still struggle with, am always tempted to blend every stroke. It is not bad either way if you blend because they are all styles in painting right?

I love to give my paintings to ones I love. Its an extension of you that hangs on the wall in their home, always welcome 😊😊

I love to paint if I could sale my art for a living I love to do that 😅 one can dream....

Thank you for your explanation, Im going to graduate next week in Studio Art

This was really uplifting to listen to. I forgot how much I enjoy painting. Your insights into the need for human beings to be creative is such an important point to make. Thanks for being here for us all.

My mom is a long time artist. She has gone through several losses over the years that most of us would have caved to. I believe her painting saved her from certain illness and breakdown.

Thanks very helpful

Excelent!!

I remember as a child, I drew cartoon characters such as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Sylvester the Cat, and I drew them with an open mind. But as I got older and life unfolded, I eventually stopped drawing. Now I know that I desire to create and bring out this creative child that I used to be, because I miss how the younger me didn’t have a care in the world and was happy. But for some reason, I think to hard about doing something and don’t know why😢.

No, it's not different with paintings. Everybody likes them if you gift them, but very few people will actually pay you anything for them.

👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽🩵💙💜💚

Me gusta mucho su tecnica ,gran sencillez ,y resultado espectacular..seguire alguno de sus bocetos,ya que el tema de la mayoría son de mi preferencia, campo, praderas ,colinas etc..

Apparently i don't paint any beautiful paintings, no one fights over them or wants them. 🙄🤣😫

This is wonderful to hear. Thank you Both1

This is very different from what I always thought/assumed, which was to add the opposite color to create that colors shadow. This explains why I always had so much trouble with very vibrant colors in my still life paintings. Amazing!
