Wow, what a treat! I discovered your work online a few months ago and was very intrigued and emailed you. I've since seen one of yours at the Allentown Mus. and can't wait for your show in Philly next year!
Mike that was amazing... Gosh I got to tell my hubby about your video he will love it... he is a painter too.. I saw your interview with Robin on the road in your camper that was cool too..
That was fascinating watching how you work. Thanks for the insight. I work figuratively and painting over painting over painting trying to get things right. I love your tools as well. Rock on! And I think Id seen this work as well. Where is this now hanging?
Bravo! I really enjoyed this video Thank you .. After years of painting realistic watercolors I have recently switched to acrylic abstracts... Hope to paint 'BIG' ! one day. Cheers Ann in Canada
I love the passion, creativity and imagination involved in making a piece of artwork. What you have witnessed here is the creative process at work and a glimpse into the very personal artistic expression of an individual. It's not necessary for you to understand the process. Just appreciate the end result. If you don't appreciate it, that's fine too; then it's not for you.
And here I thought that all legitimate art had to be done with canvas on the wall or on the easel, standing in front of it, and not over it. Good to know there are more artists like me, who paint and compose on a large table.
Love the technique :) a few questions: do you leave to dry inbetween each layer i.e. the yellow base and bronw/water layer? what is that tool you use to spread it looks like a squeegee but metal? what is the technique/close up at 6min.10sec
At 5:00 you place those L-shaped borders around the edges. Is that to provide a consistent offloading area for paint to avoid showing where the squeegee began the stroke? Load the paint off the canvas, as it were, then begin the pull onto it?
Hi Michael... may I ask - what is the brown very liquid that you are using… both in the bucket and the bottle…… it is so liquid????? Best regards from denmark :-)
lol hes jus chillin listening to classic music and having fun, and gets paid for it.. this must be the best "job" in the world !! (course requires some talent/skill)
Probably not.. its just a form of abstract. and Abstract artist use a load of different tools to paint different things. Sporks and Forks are great to paint with. (little kids have a blast with that) Mops, paper bags, and spirals (off of spiral notebooks) all have cool effects.
Great video, love seeing the process. I've recently uploaded some of my own paintings online. I do spiritual art, for people of faith. It's for everyone really. Anyway, if you get a sec I'd love to know what you think.. you are a good artist. All the best!
i think with this kind of painting - wet on wet - it is very hard to have an idea how it will turn out.. It will be a 50/50 situation.i mean you can direct of how you want it to be but you have to be open of what directions the painting is giving you...and use it as well.
respetuosamente.muy bonito el acabado pero desde mi punto es muy saturado y lleva demasiado trabajo, de pronto existen clientes que lo puedan pagar, de todas maneras es un trabajo excelente
With all due respect; I just don't understand how you can call what you are doing art. I mean you could be painting a door or a piece of furniture and get the same result.
Gerhard Richter also paints with a big 'spatula'. And, he can also paint the most realistic portrait of a woman or candle. etc . I think you would consider his portraits, "Art". But, you would have the same criticism of his abstract pieces.
You just don't care for it and that's fine. Some people do love this kind of art. But as someone who does realistic as well as abstract I'll tell you abstract is 10 times harder.
