Charest Art: Abstract Artist - The one minute book review - Personal Geographies in Mixed Media
Charest Art: Abstract Artist - The one minute book review - Personal Geographies in Mixed Media
A series of book reviews of my favorite art books.
Personal Geographies in Mixed Media.
Over the years, I have continuously experimented with media. I added ink to my watercolors. I added wasp nests pieces to my collages. I experimented with different papers. I added string, plaster or wire to different pieces. This show is about my love of experimenting and the paintings that resulted from that.
Nature and the people in her life are my main inspirations. Capturing memories of my experiences in a way that a camera cannot, my paintings invite you to explore the subject; quietly discovering what is really there.
My interest in painting started when my husband was transferred to Texas and my neighbor took me to a painting class to pass the time. This led to a passion for painting that has never stopped. I took classes in Texas, Arizona, Quebec and Alberta. My attraction to texture and color is due to my growing up on a farm in northern Alberta where fields of wheat, canola and flax provided colors for my palette even then. They are the fuel for the memories I use for my paintings.
Mixed media is my favorite form of painting. I love the variety of media because it helps tell stories. When creating a painting, I have a story in mind but I also wants the viewer to create their own story or relationship with the painting and evoke memories for them. My courses on Mixed Media are now available online at sites called: Udemy.com and Skillshare.com. Join me in the joys of creating mixed media.

Doris Charest Art: Conclusion to Raising a Creative Child
The most important aspect of this book is that it doesn't just suggest materials and techniques. It is not your traditional "how to" book. It analyses the key concepts and elements of the relationship between figurative and abstract painting in a way that makes you think differently about your own work.
@@88hHoward Glad you liked the book. Sounds like you read it thoroughly.
Was so disappointed as put watercolour in the search This is about acrylics
@@julieo8017 The search categories are not decided by me. Sorry if you are disappointed. Often you can do acrylic techniques in watercolours. Just so you know. Give it a try.
@@dorischarest thankyou I understand it is not your doing But you must understand watching and enjoying and eager to play thinking I was watching watercolour I know acrylic can be diluted Will give it a try
@@julieo8017 Glad I could help with the info on acrylics. Acrylic will give you brighter colours
Such a great selection of books! I'm so glad I found this video ❤
You're welcome
So helpful!! Thank you💕
You're welcome
Thank u so much going to get them.😊
Hello, I'm getting in touch to explore a business chance linked to your Udemy class. Our goal is to boost your course's visibility, draw in additional learners, and foster favorable feedback. Can we set a moment to delve into this more deeply at your earliest availability?
Abstract art is about smearing paint over the entire canvas !!! There is NO COMPOSITION !!!
I disagree. It’s all about organizing your colour and textures. Better results that way.
Great video. I ❤art books. The video doesn’t start till 7 mins into it and at first I thought something was wrong with it. I bet other people have clicked off thinking the same. I’m sure if you trim off the first 7 mins you will get lots more views.
Thanks for the tip
I love the colors and how cool that you are making videos. I’m still trying to work up the nerve.
If I. can do do it so can you. Give it a try.
I bought both of Rolina van Vliet books , and I am very happy with them. So much to learn from them and they are cheap! I pay only $27 australian dolars each in Amazom Australia
The best video about Abstract composition in the Internet. Thank you Doris ,the way you explain and them offer examples from artists is unique. You put so much effort to teach us..Thank again.
You're welcome
Thank you for sharing this books. I bought two of the books recommended here : 'Abstracts 50 Inspirational Projects' and' Painting Abstracts" both by Rolina van Vliet . That was the best money ($ 27 Australian dollars each in Amazon) I spend in my life ,I just love them .I am learning so much and having fun with all the ideas and projects. Thank again Doris.
You're welcome
Hi
I discovered your class in Skillshare! Going back and forth between your UA-cam channel and Skillshare! Today is a snowy day and perfect for a marathon of your videos. Subscribed!
Thank you
Do you Teach Beginners to Start Art Business as a Profession ??
Not any more. I retired recently.
@@dorischarest I understand Your Concern & Respect Your Feelings. But I came across your video just today morning and I liked your Video , Felt Commitment in Your voice and a Desire to Teach and share Your Experiences. That is What I Need. Guidance on How to Successfully Develop an Art Business in Antique & Vintage Textiles . I was searching for many years,but I couldn't find one Mentor. But when I watched your video, my curiosity was awakened that I got a Mentor. That is the Reason I Requested You to Teach & Guide me.
@@niravkikani6295 I know an artist that works in textiles. instagram.com/manon_jodoin_studio/?hl=en. She is very active. Maybe ask her.
@@dorischarest Thanks for your reply and being so Kind. I will Definitely Request Her, buy If She won't , Then I will Request You to be My Mentor. Thanks & Regards.
@@niravkikani6295 She would be better. I don’t know much about textiles.
❤
@@carolmorrison7725 Glad I could help
Thank you for the lesson
YOu're welcome
God brought me to your channel and I am saying thank you from all my heart. I am 87 and f trying to learn how to enjoy painting.
Age is not important with art. Welcome to the art lovers group.
Thank you for your excellent advice. As I listened, I kept thinking, “Of course!” It seems I just needed you to clarify what I was already trying to understand. I know what I love. But, I’ve been putting off those things, thinking I need to master other techniques first. No more! 😊
Glad I could help.
There are internationally acclaimed artists beyond the United States :) who have gained fame for their adept use of tertiary colors. One such example is Paul Signac.
Thanks for sharing.
You make it so simple. Thank you😊
Monochrome means one colour. You use only one colour for painting the whole painting but you can thin the paint to different values or shades.
Meaning of monochrome
i cannot thank you enough for this information. it is an absolute treasure trove.
i sat and watched this video three times in a row. the content is just staggering. wonderfully helpful. thank you.
Even if you can’t see the x , the intent is there. The goal is not to have it a bold visible x. Breaking it up makes it more subtle. However, I am glad you were interested in composition. I would be happy to look at your work if you give it a try.
I am hard-pressed to see the 'X' in several of the paintings, though squinting helps. Because the teacher/narrator is a mature woman, and because it illustrates an era in art with which I am enamored beyond words, I am intrigued. Even though I do not use intentionality of this kind in my art- if I did, I'd wouldn't paint a thing! I am for once captivated by an analysis of art. Thank you for this intelligent and interesting video.
Thanks, really helpful xx
You’re welcome 😊
Thanks for sharing these books. I am always intrigued by abstracts, but have no idea where to start. I’ll definitely check out these books.
Love your videos, they are full of information. A bit difficult to navigate your playlists but so many hidden gems. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise!
Great use of colours
Sorry to hear you are disappointed. This video is part of a class I offer on Udemy.com.
I’m sorry but this video was titled that it was about composition yet included no content about composition. It does not make me want to watch any other of your videos.
You are kidding me? If you listen to what she says, you'll learn that this video IS about composition - the true composition of what it takes to create a painting. If you listen to what she says instead of filtering her words to see if she has met your expectations or not, you'll soon see that this woman has put so much information into producing this video. From my point of view, the sad thing is you are the one who has missed the true value of the content of this video.
I can see where you’re coming from. I was also expecting for her to talk about elements of composition: balance, focal point, visual movement, etc. But I think this video is more about inspiration, getting started, and story-telling.
@noreennorton5811 hi! Check out David m. Kessler fine art. I felt the same way you did when I watched this. But I was looking for something more specific. And David has a short video (Abstract painting compositions) showing exactly what I was looking for. I’m not sure, but it might be the same for you. I hope it helps. Wishing you the best!
correct! is a total nonsense
@@attadudepc well if u become a Klimt i will tell u r right ... until then 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes, interest! Everything should say Something! Thank you, Doris ~!~
You are so welcome

THIS IS A WONDERFUL LESSON. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH
Glad to help
I really like this.
It is really fun. Glad you like it.
Thank you for this video. :)

Hi thanks for sharing How do you use in paintings
Easy. You just glue the images with acrylic gel. Then keep painting.
Wonderful
Thank-you
Totally Worst book for abstract painting 😡😡😡
Why?
Thank you
You're welcome
This has to be one of my favourite compositions because there are so many design possibilities. I am in the uk and wake up to your videos, and it puts me in a creative mindset for the rest of the day. Perfect start to my day.
It is mine too. The options are limitless.
I would never have thought of this.
Thanks
Very helpful thank you
Nice
Thank-you
You make it look easy, Doris!
