Abstract painting in real time 

I am so happy to read your words

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm really happy if you were able to learn something from my video. Unfortunately, I have been suffering from Long Covid for 2.5 years with great exhaustion and dizziness. That's why I can't paint like I did in this video anymore. Standing in front of an easel doesn't allow for exhaustion. I actually wanted to post a lot of these videos on my RU-vid channel, but that's not possible at the moment. Nevertheless, I hope that I will get well again and be able to paint large paintings again. At the moment I'm drawing in small sketchbooks while sitting. Connecting with my creative soul in a small way helps me become healthy. Kind regards Conny

Thank you so much

Thank you so much

Thank you

Dear Maureen, thank you so much for the kind word, which makes me happy to read

Dear Ann, thank you so much for the kind words

What’s in the cup ?

Thank you so much

I'm very happy to hear that you like the process. This approach is really fun. I hope you enjoy it.

I am glad, that you like the video.

Thank you very much for the kind words. I'm very happy to hear that the video is helping you. I actually wanted to publish more videos like this. Unfortunately, I've been very ill for 3 years with extremely exhausted. I'm suffering from long Covid. That makes it impossible for me to paint or create more videos at the moment. KInd regards Conny

Dear Peggy, thank you so much for the kind words. I am happy about your words. I thought long and hard about making the video faster or even shorter. At the moment I am preparing a new video of this kind. It will become an image that is more colorful. Maybe then you'll be there again. It would please me. The video will be available in the next 7 days. KInd regards Conny

thank you so much

Dear Denise, thank you so much for the kind words. I am very happy that you liked the video. Kind regards Conny

I'm very happy to hear that. I would like to continue producing videos like this and pass on my painting knowledge. But I've been suffering from Long Covid for 3 years with great exhaustion. That's why I can only paint rarely and I can't make videos anymore. I hope to get well again. Best wishes Conny

That's so sad, bless you, I really hope you recover from this soon ❤

@@debbieyoung9301 I've been hoping for 3 years and I'm not giving up hope. At the moment I'm just drawing small things in my art journals. That helps me. Thank you very much for your kind words.

@@ConnyLehmannI also suffer from long Covid so I know what you mean. It’s a terrible illness when it stays with you like it does. I pray you get well so you can continue your great work. Good luck to you!

Dear Nicola, thank you so much for the kind words.

Thank you so much

Hello Tanya, this video is from a painting class i gave. The whole course can now be seen for free on my RU-vid channel. The 1st video in this course is `markmaking with my favorite tools`. Below all the videos you will find links to my materials in the description. All of this could be found in a pdf in the course and here on RU-vid in the description below the videos. I hope that helps. Kind regards Conny

Oh no @@ConnyLehmann I'm so sorry to hear that. Fatigue is very debilitating and severely alters life. I wish you all the best and hope you are able to recover soon.

@@shanfazelbhoy9491 Thank you so much, I've been hoping for 3 years and I'm not giving up hope. At the moment I'm just drawing small things in my art journals. That helps me. Thank you very much for your kind words.

Yes @@ConnyLehmann that's good, I believe we need to find joy in the small things to pull us through difficult times.

@@shanfazelbhoy9491 Yes that is true

Thank you so much for the kind words. I'm glad to read that the video inspired you. Ref PDF: This video is the last of 5 videos. It was an online painting course that I gave. The course consists of 5 videos in total. I have posted this course in 5 consecutive videos on RU-vid for free. In the previous 4 videos you can expand the comment bar at the bottom, then you will see what was in the PDFs. There you will find all the colors I used, the paper I used, the painting utensils, various tips, etc. This course was actually chargeable and I wanted to offer more courses like this. Then unfortunately 3 years ago I fell ill with Long Covid with great exhaustion, dizziness and cognitive disorders. That's why I can't shoot any more videos at the moment and thought about making this course available to everyone for free. Hope that helps. Best wishes Conny

I so appreciate your response. Hope all the long Covid effects have dissipated and your are on the mend. Thank you again.

Thank you so much

Thank you so much for the kind words. I used heavy weight watercolor paper, Fabriano artistico 640g taped on the board.

That is from Golden. Acrylmedium liquid satinata. You can use any acrylic medium. There are Acrylic medium gloss, matte and satinata. It is personal which effect you want. The satinata is between gloss and matte. Hope that helps

Thanks. Here in Brazil we are very short of art materials and what we get and when we get are either of bad quality or imported which are too expensive, 4 times of what you pay.

@@anabela_nunes_artist I`m so sorry to hear that

Got it

Thank you so much. You will find my colors I used for this painting in the video before. There I explain my color mixings for this painting. The green is a mixture from Schmincke perussian blue, nickel azo gold from Golden and a little bit of van Dyke Brown from Golden. Hope that helps. Kind regards Conny

Thank you very much for the kind words. I don't know if you saw that the 4 videos before this video belong together. That was an online painting course that I offered for a fee. In the previous videos, you can see below the videos what materials I used. Unfortunately, 3 years ago I fell ill with Long Covid with severe exhaustion, dizziness and cognitive disorders and was no longer able to make any more videos or offer any more courses. So I decided to show this course for everyone on RU-vid for free. When I watch these videos myself, I feel such a great longing for that time when I could still paint standing in front of my easel. I always painted intuitively and my goal was always to have fun on the way to the end result. The end result was always secondary to me. I'm glad to hear that you like this path. It really is the most fun way to paint. No worries about what happens, you can always direct the painting in a new direction. And the distance from the painting can often work wonders. A short break or a night's sleep on it and you'll see the picture with different eyes. Best wishes Conny

​@@ConnyLehmanni wish you healing 🙏🏻

Thank you so much

I never gessoed my papers. that's too much work for me. It goes really well without gesso. Hope that helps. Kind regards Conny

I don`t know because I have so many brushes around me. I think acrylic brushes.....

The video comes from a paid online course. Because I have long Covid and am extremely exhausted, have cognitive impairments and dizziness, I can no longer teach courses. That's why I uploaded this video to RU-vid for free. That's why there is no PDF here.

Thank you

Of course it is

I saw the same :-)

Hello and thank you. Have you ever thought about how difficult it is to create a painting video in a foreign language? It is also difficult to film in such a way that I am not standing in front of the painting and covering up everything I am doing. Because when I paint, I am normally standing directly in front of the paintings. I see that you have never made a video for RU-vid before. That is probably why you don't know how much work is involved. Besides, NOBODY forced you to watch my videos. Wish you a nice day. Kind regards Conny

Hallo. es würde mich Wunder nehmen, was für Nebengeräusche? Ich höre nichts ausser dem Geräusch von Kreiden auf dem Papier. Kannst Du mir sagen an welcher Stelle Du Geräusche wahrnimmst, die für Dich zu laut sind? Ich habe jetzt hineingehört und konnte keine Nebengeräusche wahrnehmen. Nichts ausser meiner Stimme und dem Kratzen der Stifte auf Papier. Ich würde mich freuen und wäre dankbar, wenn Du spezifischer sein könntest. Lieber Gruss Conny

Es ist nett von dir dass du überhaupt antwortest. Die Geräusche sind das Rappeln deiner Unterlage auf der Staffelei und zeitweise ein lautes Rauschen, das ich nicht definieren kann. Das Kratzen deiner Werkzeuge ist ja normal, alles zusammen ist jedoch eine laute Geräuschkulisse. Ich habe versuchsweise den Ton leiser gestellt. Es hat nicht wirklich geholfen. Grundsätzlich finde ich deine Malerei sehr interessant und danke dir für die ausführliche Darstellung. Die Kritik ist auch nicht böse gemeint. LG Inge

@@ingeje7691 Hallo, natürlich melde ich mich immer, wenn jemand eine Krititk anbringt. Aus Kritik kann man ja lernen. Es ist nur so, dass dieses Video Bestandteil eines kostenpflichitgen Online Kurses war, das ich nun gratis auf RU-vid zur Verfügung gestellt habe. In dem Kurs hat sich niemand über Nebengeräusche geäussert. Darum war ich so überrascht über Deinen Kommentar. Da ich nicht so ein grosses Atelier zur Verfügung habe, male ich meine grossen Bilder auf dieser Satffelei. Das kann natürlich Geräusche geben. Doch ich habe keine Wand, an die ich die Bilder aufhängen kann beim Malen. So wie andere Künstler. Es tut mir leid, dass Dich diese Geräusche so stören. Doch meine Möglichkeiten, ein Video abzudrehen sind leider begrenzt. Vielleicht noch ein Tipp: Ich habe viele Videos, in denen ich nicht rede, und welche mit musikalischem Hintergrund versehen sind. Da wirst Du ganz sicher kein Hintergrundgeröusch hören, nur Musik. Ich möchte auch schon lange neue Videos einstellen. Doch ich leide seit 3 Jahren unter Long Covid mit extremer Erschöpfung, Schwindel und Gedächtnisproblemen, so dass ich tagelang nur liegen kann. Stehend zu malen ist im Moment ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit. Wenn, dann kann ich ab und zu in einem kleinen Art Journal malen. Doch sollte ich wieder mal ein Video drehen können, dann werde ich mir Deine Kritik zu Herzen nehmen. In dem Sinne wünsche ich Dir alles Gute. Herzlichst Conny

Oh, das tut mir sehr leid, dass es dir so schlecht geht. Ich kann es nachvollziehen, da ich auch nicht mehr im Stehen malen kann. Ich finde dein Video so gut, dass ich es mir halt mit ganz leisem Ton angesehen habe, da es mir ja um die Art und Weise geht, wie du malst. Ich wünsche dir alles Gute und drücke dir die Daumen, dass du dich doch noch von diesen heftigen Nebenwirkungen erholt. Alles Liebe Inge

Dear Ava, I don`t know what you mean

@@ConnyLehmann When I first when into the comment section it said there was one comment. There wasn't. There were none. That's why I said RU-vid must have disappeared it. I've been seeing that a lot. btw, love your work

@@avaangel433 Dear Ava, thats ok. By the way, I will show more videos. I love to share my knowledge about painting. I have already given online courses and felt that I really enjoy it. Unfortunately, I then fell seriously ill with Long Covid and was unable to paint or teach for 13 months. Now I'm back and will share my knowledge on RU-vid for free. I'm already working on a new You Tube video. It will be out for sure in the next week. I use more color this time. It will includes colormixing and so on... i started it today. I hope you're back. sincerely Conny

Yes I saw that too 😮
