This shows the value of sticking with it! I would like this style very much and I've discovered that you can get to a point where you think it's completely ruined and still save it. It's not that you've gone too far, it's that you haven't gone far enough!

@ChrisStephenArt Год назад

I think most paintings in this style go through an “ugly” stage. You need to have faith in your original vision.

A great painting and an interesting technique, accompanied by the soundtrack to an apocalyptic zombie movie. Interesting.

Thanks Marc. Give it a try, the trick is to let paint go where it wants and turn it into something. Happy New Year to you !!

It's very beautiful. I do some similar pieces. I'm always told they are impressionistic because the subject is obvious. True abstract art leaves the subject to remain a mystery.

@ChrisStephenArt Год назад

Thanks, Vince. I suppose it depends in your viewpoint whether a painting is “impressionistic” “realistic” “abstract” etc… This is an interesting quote from Robert Bissett…. “All paintings are abstract. Some abstract paintings also have pictorial representation or narrative content, but in essence they are first and foremost abstract because we have only paint.” - Robert Bissett

Very beautiful work. It was like a suspense movie, I was terrified yet at the same time I wanted to stay back and see what happens.

I want to thank you for the spare environment, it’s helpful for my concentration. I also appreciate the less rigorous actions than some with this style. When I try this it seems like I am not doing it right because I am not rough enough…..thanks.

Great work. Before the painting was first dried it looked good, but l would have been disappointed with how it dried and not know what to do with it.

@ChrisStephenArt Год назад

Thanks Mark. With this type of painting I’ll often dry it and see what it looks like. If it needs “something” I just re-wet it and go again until I’m happy. Half the fun is not fully knowing what it’s going to look like until the end

@markleeks1116 Год назад

@@ChrisStephenArt sure, l tend not to have the paint thick enough, then it dries far too light

@ChrisStephenArt Год назад

@@markleeks1116 Try using it straight out of the tube. Just wet the paper a little to allow the paint to flow

Wouldn't the nearby palette knife work just as well?

@melaniebaynes2730 2 месяца назад

I don't know what it is with content creators these days, they seem obsessed with spoiling otherwise excellent videos with the most annoying 'music'! Has YT instructed them all that they must play music or what? I am getting really fed up with them all doing it. So many talented artists, but they are spoiling their content with the noise inflicted on the eardrums. I might have to just stick with the SAA's art videos instead.

@ChrisStephenArt 2 месяца назад

@melaniebaynes2730 To be fair, not every video can be made to please everyone. If it helps, my most recent video has no music at all, just my voice. Also, you can always turn the volume down. Happy painting 😊
