Listening to your dialogue as you paint has been extremely valuable to me. 🙏 I love your paintings. Thank you for the words of wisdom from other artists, as well. I can hardly wait to begin a large painting...starting with yellow, which I rarely use!💛
Glad you found this helpful Cynthia. Please do come and join my over in the new Studio Circle I am launching in February: www.trudietaramoulton.art/studio-circle (under my new name)
really appreciated these meditations on the creative process. I have been told the same sort of thing on courses without getting the sense i have now that I must now really aim to achieve this approach for myself. thankyou!
Richard Diebenkorn has long been an inspiration and his approach is deeply insightful to some of the gritty problems of approaching the creative process. Glad that it resonates with you too.
@@trudietaramoultonart just saw the finished piece....it is absolutely fabulous....i also really love the beginning of a painting...i use mostly cold wax and oil, but am feeling drawn to using the oil in a more fluid way....why is it still so challenging to try something different? it's not so much fear as .... well actually i'm not sure what it is! need to do some more digging around inside :) enjoying your videos and resonating with your ideas of how to get into that creative path.
@@lindawright4824 yes it’s so interesting what comes up on the creative path. I’ve been exploring this more deeply in my workshop ‘Creativity Sparks’ - come join us for the next round in late September/October. More info on my website.
Thank you. Richard Diebenkorn's notes are a helpful framework for approaching an abstract painting; there's a link in the show notes to a blog post where they are listed in full. Happy painting!
Thank you for sharing your process, as a student I’m always looking at what an artist process is and gaining an insight like this is invaluable. Also just hearing your thoughts and things is really helpful, as a first time abstract painter this is really helpful! I’m not sure if I’ve missed it but what media do you use? Is this oil or acrylic? Again thanks very much!
I'm using acrylics in this video though I like using oils very much because it dries more slowly and so you have a longer working time with it; it's also easier to remix colours later and match them because they dry 'true', whereas acrylics dry a little darker than when wet, which makes it harder to mix more of the same colours later.
I love your narrative. It’s familiar but so well expressed. Can you say where you get these canvasses that are not mounted? Are they called canvas sheets? Are they pregessoed? Did you prepare them?
Hi Susan, these are pre-prepared canvases that I purchased, already gessoed. Although I have made my own canvases (you can see a video on my website in my About page), I find that when creating a diptych or triptych it's nice to have pre-made canvases that are perfectly the same.
Very nice...but if you want my opinion I would prefer if you left it different grades of pink and Yellow only rather than adding blue in the end..but you done very nice job
Yes I haven't got to them yet in this video, which is showing the early stages of a painting only. Depending on the depth of canvas and whether it will be framed or not, I leave them alone (if being framed) as I like to leave the history of the layers or paint them back to white if they will hang without a frame.
You know that you can sell your paintings right?🤔 how is this not useful financialy🤷♂️ going with your understanding of it. Art is a spiritual practice you need to have really good connection with your psyche for starters. Not everyone can paint abstract pieces i can assure you. Its not just scribbles. You dont even understand what I was trying to say.
@@certainthings4847 you brought money into the discussion - case closed. If you have money in mind you won't make art. money follows success in some cases, but never the other way around in art. I understand abstract art, but this is not it. You can't make a doodle and call it abstract art and tell the critics they don't understand it ...
What? Again you dont understand what im saying. I gave you example of how this skill can be useful. Because you wanted one🤷♂️ i never stated that to make art online for profit jesus man🤦 i dont think you know anything about abstract, probably for you cy twombly is a doodle too😂
…She has desire and enjoyment for what she’s creating. Meanwhile, you’re sitting there criticizing her. No skill required for that either; just bitterness.
who said anything about being mad? sounds like you're the one who is mad . I am just saying the painting reflects her mindset .and so does your comment
Pretty painting but not sure if it's about a "state of being" or anything other kind of "inspiration". Little too self-indulgent and meaningless for my taste -- where do all these words come from and what do they mean??? They don't mean anything at all. When people can't express themselves in clear accessible language, it's not that you are incapable of understanding it, it's because there either is no meaning or they don't comprehend it themselves. The great abstract artist of the latter part of the 20th century, Mark Rothko, could explain his paintings in the most accessible way possible. The reason for that was because he had spent so much time thinking about what he was doing and why. It lead down a very dark road for him. which was tragic, but we have his work. This, however, is not "art" -- they are pretty colours plastered on paper. Nice for a house, but don't mistake it for art.
For someone who’s not much of a fan, you sure do have a lot to say. Different people like different things but to say it’s “not art” is a bit misguided. Her creation is her expression. Not all art is created from the same place, nor is it all created in the same way. Some art is just created for simplicity and fun and there’s nothing wrong with that. Perhaps people should learn to appreciate each piece for what it is, rather than comparing it or degrading because it’s not what THEY think it should be…
Most of the professional paintings that are made are sold to people who hang them on the wall in their house. Decorating the house is actually the main practical final purpose of most paintings. A small minority will be bought by art galleries and museums. A certain amount will be bought as investment art and possibly hoarded in safe customs houses - those paintings are not really functioning as art, more like a kind of currency. Nothing wrong with 'nice for the house'.
This is lovely wondering what paint you are using is it acrylic mixed with water? It’s very runny do you have it already ready in those containers with different colours ty
I lOved watching and hearing your thoughts and the influence of another artist on your work. We are such a creative tribe and it was so refreshing to be here for this personal moment. Beautiful. My wife is an abstract artist and it is veryfamiliar
"Черный квадрат" Малевича поставил точку в изображении действительности. Радикальный жест заключался в отрицании всей культуры в принципе. Впервые он возник в опере "Победа над солнцем" в 1913 году, где по сюжету авиатор летит на небо и заворачивает солнце в грязное пыльное одеяло. Солнце в данной опере - символ традиционной культуры и черный квадрат появляется на заднике сцены. В 1914 начинается война. Как утверждают историки в воздухе просто витал дух войны. В 1915 году, черный квадрат был представлен на выставке 0/10 и заложил основу всего современного искусства. После войны Виктор Вазарелли вдохновившись квадратом разработал новый стиль в искусстве Опт-арт, на основе работ которого разработана вся компьютерная графика. Мир стоит на пороге открытия квантового компьютера и здесь главную роль играет свет, поэтому Победа над черным ... неизбежна //ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ALW8-tclRHk.html
