What a gift you have, for seeing behind the obvious and putting ideas into words. Thank you for putting this little lecture into the visual. You obviously understand how we arty people learn and remember. That strange little diagram will stay in my head. It hits home with me since that is a theme I am constantly talking to myself about lately. Thank you.
Thanks for being there Nicholas, I watch your videos on youtube since months ago and they really help me a lot. Your work inspires me. I am from the Canary Islands, my name is Mercedes.
Thank you Nicolas. What I love about so many of your discussions is that you are very intuitive about our motivations, our perceptions and habits. As a long time student of human behavior, I could not agree with you more. Thanks for speaking out and clarifying our emotional tendencies related to our art. Jimm
I have started to talk to myself while I am alone painting. I notice an area in the painting that I like and I force myself to explain why I like it. Or areas that are messy or not to my liking - I tell myself why. I should also write this in my sketchbook because I probably will not remember quite the same way. I am keenly aware of what I like and dislike in a painting but I understand that is it important to make it audible, clarified, real. Thgank you for this!
I always learn something from your videos, you are very relatable! Your analogy with the backseat driver makes perfect sense, it is so annoying that non-artists, if I can use that term loosely, think that ‘art’ is photo realism. It has taken me a long time to have the courage to paint intuitively and not try to replicate something as a result of other people’s expectations. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with all of us!💕🇨🇦
Es macht mich froh, dass alle Untersuchungen meines Gesundheitschecks ohne Befund waren. Das sind gute Voraussetzungen noch 20 Jahre zu leben um so alt zu werden wie meine Mutter (und unter anderem wichtigerem auch noch zu malen🤭).
This is amazing. I always feel like a fraud yet all my work really is my own. Now I get it. Others work just went through my filter. This changes everything.
This is sooo good! I have read so many books...sometimes I ask myself...where is all this knowledge. But at the end I am sure it is in every body cell of me and it flows into my artwork. In the last months I did a lot of progress. So Happy! Your teching is a big help!!!
BRILLIANT, thank you. I love how you include the importance of discernment in the creative process ... to ultimately uncover and develop one’s own artistic voice!
Like having a filter in the coffee maker! Then you measure the coffee, pour the water through, and voila! A delicious brew to get your engine reved!!!😁🌻🌻🌻😍✌🏻✌🏻💪🏼💪🏼🌟🎨🎨🎨🌈💥🗽🦉🎖🎖🎖🥂‼️❤️❤️❤️‼️
Very helpful, Nicholas. Thank you! This explains to me why I sometimes have resistance to other's ideas... I haven't had time or taken time to put it through "my" filtering system.
Thank you for this explanation. It clarified the process behind and the importance of constant observation in order to find your own unique voice. Mahalo, mahalo.
Awesome! I’m “pretty good” at copying but have always struggled “ to make it my own”. I’m hopeful that this, and your other videos, help me navigate this problem. Thank you so much for these generous videos!
Yes that’s what I’m struggling with the most Time need to start writing down the things I love about other artists work and start playing with it in my sketchbook !
I don't believe it can be any other way if you are very close to your real self though..we always interpret EVERYTHING by processing through our own filters...or hopefully it is the way it happens to most human beings...everything already exists in this Universe & we put our own slant on it as we gather ideas & inspirations..that's my take on it anyways. Thank you for your great vids
I have a 6' x 6" MDF Painting Panel. I would like to put screws to hold my canvases. I notice you have screws too. Could you tell me the spacing you have?

So clear Nick. The way you’ve described making your work your own is crystal. Thank you again.
Very insightful. I’m appreciating all your practical artist advice complete with fun visuals!

This is an important key to open the door to authentic art. Thank you much Nick. Blessings🙏🏽
I know you're a professional artist, Nick, but I do hope you realize what an incredible "teacher" you are as well!! So glad I found you...

Beautifully said.🌿
I always learn so much from these musing of the art process. Thanks again.
Great advice. The painting you made to demonstrate your message is actually pretty cool too!!

Oh I really needed to hear that! Copying someone else's work is my one of my biggest concern. Thank you, Nick 💖

This makes perfect sense. I never thought about art this way before. You have allowed a sea change in my thinking. Thank you!
BRILLIANT, thank you. I love how you include the importance of discernment in the creative process ... to ultimately uncover and develop one’s own artistic voice!
This really helps me clarify how to use influences without getting lost in them. Thank you
I love that you drew the little visual, Awesome analogy. Thank you.

So happy it helped!
Awesome.. So clear, about the process.. You effectively explained how to observe with purpose then assimilate that into your work..
Thank you Nick always valuable thoughts and ideas to dwell on.
