Where do you dump the dirty paint water in numerous ways? Thank you in advance

😊Thank you!

Lately I have been doing 9”x12” portraits but I used to love doing 2’x3’ landscapes. The big stuff gives you more room to play

I developed myself a method to varnish with a precise finish and let’s say my paintings are really large. I varnish on the kitchen counter 😅. But the thing that will probably make me stop varnishing is the DUST!!! Oh boy … My paintings are large white background with some minimalistic design so every single micro hair is visible. It makes me mad :(((

The paint brushes look like works of art themselves 😲

DassDope!

That looks lovely!! I do admire your skills and sensitivity using colour! Wonderful. Thank you so much David for the inspiration. Bless you

Nice painting.

Kessler was Kramers original name, back when they started making Seinfeld. 😀

So happy to see you again David! ❤

Great to see you again David! Your back paintings look beautiful.

I’m so happy to see you back!

Hello David. it‘s nice to see you back. I love your videos and hope to see more again if it‘s possible. I hope you are doing well.

Love all your colors. Can't wait to see the final results. Thanks for sharing!

Good to see you back in the YT saddle and hopefully doing well 🤗

I haven't seen you for the longest time. Great to see you and your art. One thing for sure is you can always spot a Kessler.

How would you recommend me sharpening them to a point. Like what type of crayon sharpener would I use should I use a pastel sharpener?

Good information

Yes the color pallets is simply gorgeous what paints did you use ? Please

Unfortunately you have not mentioned that the centre of interest should not be placed just anywhere in the painting.

Is copying others painting ok or not before you find your own style??????

Very helpful info. Looking back on some of my pieces that worked, and the ones that seemed to be missing something, this definitely sheds light on the areas I struggled. I do however question if all three bullet points are needed. I’ve seen some really incredible work from artists like Samantha DaSilva where no hard edges are found, and no color wheel rules were followed. I think adding the element of texture can change some of these rules and add a point of interest where hard edges or color change is lacking. This was still immensely helpful nonetheless! Thanks for sharing this content.

Thank you for your words!❤

Great work…you definitely need music when painting, or do you prefer not to? Also, is that a light beige or unbleached white you are using? Like the softness of that colour! From Canada here❤love the freeness you have when you paint….I have a real problem with just letting go, but I’ll keep trying!

You<~~~Smart!

❤ I really needed to hear this!

Thank you David, downloaded the pdf..

❤

This was really helpful! Simple and to the point. I took notes and will post it in my studio as a reminder! 🎨

I really appreciate your shade. Having to justify your value as an artist beyond a viewers experience always feels like BS.

The paintings I bought are on a canvas that’s like half an inch thick, so this wouldn’t work

You mentioned that you could also just gesso the back of your painting? Can that be done to a finished acrylic painting? Would really appreciate your help with this question.. I have a finished commissioned piece that needs an opaque coating on the back and I don't want to damage it. Thank you

This was helpful David. Thank you!

I know it’s not good I wish I saw this video before. I love drawing but every time someone in social media just out does me which made me to strive and get better. I guess that’s why I got a lot better and social media did actually help with choosing an art style but I loved this video. ❤️‍🩹

Have you experienced the gel medium drying completely on the paper or board before affixing them together? I was adhering a large painting to a wood panel and by the time I got done putting the gel medium on, the first half of the application was dry to the touch. I have an even bigger painting that I want to adhere to a panel and now I'm nervous about that happening again. I would love any suggestions you might have for this.

thank you. I really needed this.

Every artist needs to hear this advice from David...and then take it to heart!!!

Thank You for sharing

Smooth yes, for me it didn’t have enough or frankly any tooth.

I have a passion for painting red rock scenes, but I'm having trouble with color blending. It would be really helpful if you could show me (and others) the colors you are using to achieve the look. I've tried all kinds of combinations of colors but I just can't seem to do it right. I paint now with acrylic paint -- I'm totally new to acrylic painting, as I've been doing pastel painting for 5 years now. Thank you for sharing this video with us all.

Thank you David for that information! The painting behind you is beautiful 🌻

thank you for the information. i have Arches watercolor paper on hand will give that a try. i have been making my own canvases, but this will be a real time saver

Congratulations from Brasil. It is so cool that i will teach these techniques to my students. Thanks a lot !

How long do you allow the thick textured gesso to dry be for painting over it?

Wow, great lesson, I had no idea about this.

Nice. Thanks as always David.

Thank you for your generosity I have heard of some of these classic compositions but without seeing examples. Your work is really great.

We're strange us humans, we think everything must have a practical purpose..........there is literally no 'use' for painting, none! When I'm painting however, often times I find myself wondering if my work is going to be any good for someone to hang up. I like videos like this to remind me not to think about the result but enjoy the process. Overthinking is my nemesis, thanks for this video 👌🏼👌🏼
