Can a line have meaning? Sylvia Bächli art 

Albert thank you again! You have a unique ability to examine the work of others, to break it down into applying the most simple of the elements and then to take it way up to the introspection, intent and purpose of the process. Well done once again.

I've viewed a lot of your lessons but this one freed me in many ways to hear you speak to how the creative way frees you.

I never saw this artist but I love the lines! I enjoyed watching all your lines too, what a fun video!

I left a comment, and it disappeared, and now I'm forgetting what I said, however, I enjoyed the video about Bachli. It is art that makes one reflective. I think minimal art and art of this nature is something that the layman would scoff at for looking so simple. I can understand that to degree, but one has to see a body of her work to understand her better. Thanks Albert.

Lines can be incredibly calming, and transcendent; i love the work of Agnes Martin.....minimalism can be wonderful ... thank You for this video!

Another wonderful video. 🙏 I’d never heard of Sylvia B. Very interesting artwork. Thank you for bringing her to my attention.

Sylvia Bachli art is amazing, I didn't know her, thank you for bringing her art!.. but amazing is also your thinking process here.. I was studying in art school in Eastern Europe during 80ies.. abstract art wasn't part of our studies, unfortunately.. I discovered American Abstract Expressionism, Neo-Expressionism, Art Brut, Outsider Art, even Postmodern Art only later when I moved abroad, and felt imediate connection.. I'm still learning 'to think' in this realm, that's why I love so much to come here.

Great video I love you sharing your thought process . You have definitely influenced me in my art making and the way I think and to stop being so rigid in my thoughts. Also you bring back the fun in learning not everything we do has to be perfect and polished it’s just ok to experiment and have fun.

Thank you for keeping the focus on the process rather than the final product’s pleasing esthetics. If we focus on what we are going to get too much, we miss being in the present moment.

Thankyou for the inspiration, and introducing me to a new artist! I was struggling to decide what to paint today, but now I’m excited to play with lines 🤗👏🏽

The story, feelings and emotions you put to art making bring the creative experience to another level 😊

Just stumbled across your channel, absolutely love it!! Thank you!!

Great video, Albert! Thanks for sharing!

Interesting !! There are lots of good and encouraging comments too.

As always, so interesting, thank you Albert en groetjes uit Alkmaar 😊

Thankyou for such an inspiring video... I'm going to create some "paintings" using POSCA paint pens. It looks like I'm gonna need a bigger artist paper pad!

Hi Albert. Thank you for this freely playful exercise. You almost rarely fail to ground my brain in the realm of fearless exploration guided by purposelessness towards self discovery and expression. Speaking of lines how about an episode on Barnett Newman zip paintings? Thanks again.

Thanks!

thanks

I understand what you are doing but I can't stop thinking about the cost of watercolor paper, mats and frames. I wonder if I will someday make miniatures, mine are getting smaller and smaller. 18 by 24, 16 by 20, 8 by 10, 5 by 7, 😳 Maybe they will disappear one day. Maybe I should have gone bigger and bigger.

I wish I could be able to find meaning in other artists more simplistic and abstract works. I'm not saying they are meaningless, because they certainly are not, but I have a hard time doing interpretations of art, be it a illustration, a song's lyrics, a sculpture, a poem. It's kind of funny, to be honest. If the art is not representing something palpable, visual, or being literal, I just can't really see through it! So paintings that normally trigger feelings in other people, don't have any effect on me. Funny enough, I'm pretty sure the only type of art I can make my own interpretations are instrumental music, or songs where the lyrics aren't made from real, meaningful words (Wim Mertens, for example, makes so the lyrics of the music sang by his performers are not real words from a real language, but his own made up dialect!). By this logic, the same would happen with minimalist or abstract art, and the lack of realistic details and construction would force me to interpret what is happening in the visual piece using memories and imagination, but for some reason, this does not happen. I am a very literal person, with very literal understanding of the world. But humans can learn almost anything, so I guess I can exercise my mind to "read" art as well...? Because of this, what really brings me into this kind of imaginative, open to various interpretations art is the "making of" process. It's always very enjoyable watching artists doing their thing. Seeing them enjoying their work is what makes me enjoy their work as well! Nice video as always!

Jean Michel Baschiat. I want you to teach me how to draw or paint. This artist...thanks
