Can people just told you to move away a little bit directly instead calling guards?

@RobertF- 3 года назад

I don't know for sure and I'm making an assumption, but I think someone who was having a bad day and a bad attitude saw Mr. Gurney happily painting away on his beautiful painting and got envious and bitter of him and decided to "rain on his parade" a little bit. It's not a big deal though and Mr. Gurney is a very cool guy who doesn't let stuff upset him.

@miyagi_draws 3 года назад

My bet is nobody complained, but the security guard was bored and wanted to flex. When you paint in public the wildest things are sometimes the humans.

This is painting is surrealism dude! FYI: National Geo. did a dinosaur edition a month ago. In my opinion, your dinos are 100 times more believable. Yours are more relatable, I feel their souls the same way I feel when I look at a painting an artist has done of their own dog or cat. I have worked for the Met and Audubon, both with way too many bosses to please. I learned so much, no regrets.

Best thing to do is play it cool. Ask the security guy if you can take his photo and maybe paint a quick painting of him and send it to him later. It will throw him for a loop and then he'll look at artists as really cool customers in any future scenarios. Big picture.

@gendoikari6062 3 года назад

Hello James! as usual, another great illustration; I follow your examples for my painting outings. People are always weary...even when they know you are an artist!!! -- they just want to be part of the scene-- I love your work and your tips in your videos. ..You are a painter master !! I've met a young girl who painted a large aluminum cooking pot ( of all things !) and adorned the exterior with very complex and detail " mandala" designs and I think is an actual masterpiece that took a long time to achieve. She coated the aluminum pot with plain white latex house paint as a base color, and used a " Sharpie" marker to create all the intricate detail in black marker ink. Would you be so kind to suggest what kind of lacquer or material would be suited to " COAT" this work, to protect from the usual elements. This pot will be used; not for cooking, but as a garden pot for indoor use. Our risk is to loose the black detail work when and if the marker ink becomes mixed with the coating material. Sorry for extending this comment, but would be great and we will be grateful if you or anybody of the other coleagues could provide us with a suggestion. We' ve tested it with Future floor wax and other enamel coatings in spray; yet the marker ink runs an mixes with all of them destroying all the work.... Thanks much for any help and God bless...

@Ceares 3 года назад

I've often wondered about painting in public places like that, just like sketching people in parks and on buses coffee shops, whatever. Seems weird and intrusive to me without permission. I'm not surprised a few people complained. Honestly from the angle you filmed, it looked like people wouldn't be able to see you until they were right upon you coming down the drive and even though you were out of the way it would seem like you were closer than you were and that they might have hit you because of the surprise factor. The painting itself was cool, but if you had let the guard know you were there ahead of time or asked what would be a good place you could set up, you would have made his life easier.

@krysjez 3 года назад

Hi James, this new teaching technique (it’s been a while since I’ve watched one of your videos) with the tracing paper is fantastic! I’m confused about there being two vanishing points, and why the ramp had a different VP from the rest of the scene. I thought VP(s) only applied to the entire scene, not individual objects. I just worked it out on paper and I understand what you’re doing - just don’t quite understand why.

How many opportunities does a poor security guard of a parking garage get to strut his stuff? They drool watching movies with chase scenes in parking garages, dreaming of the day when it will happen in their garage. It was good of you to play along. I'll bet he told his wife about "the show-down" that night at dinner. Yes, I'm a life-long fan of Barney Fife.
