    Bonjour :) Comme d'habitude je commence la vidéo et je n'arrive pas à décoller mes yeux de ses créations majestueuses, intemporelles, d'un autre monde, un monde dans lequel on aimerait entrer comme Alice aux pays des merveilles ou Le Magicien d'Oz mais en milles fois mieux. Franchement je suis émerveillée devant un tel Art. Il n'y a pas de mots, vous êtes incroyablement doué, peut-on apprendre pour arriver à un tel niveau ? Captivant, je ne fais pas que regarder, je voyage carrément à travers, je m'imagine à quelle époque, sur quelle île, dans quel monde on pourrait trouver de telles créatures... Just Wouaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh bouche ouverte :)

    I look at your art and even before watching this video, I often thought about people who had tattoo's and wanted something different so the melding/morphing of your artworks makes me think of the possibilities people can do to their old tattoos and meld them into new and sooo interesting artworks. Especially your mickey paintings, idk why, I think about that but for me I never got a tattoo because I would constantly want to change it. I love this video and learning more about your thought process.

As much as I can get away with cheap crappy brushes I was blown away by the difference and how much easier it made my life. Anytime get a commission for a dog portrait I invest in brushes and other art supplies. Thank you so much for these videos. I listen, watch and re watch.

  • @stephaniebelenets2666
    @stephaniebelenets2666 4 роки тому

    I'm thrilled to find you working in acrylics! Loved seeing your sketch books. In mine also, some of the ideas are detailed and some in "shorthand". Just enough to capture the ideas and bring out the fuller image in your mind's eye. Some go on to development and some fall by the wayside. It really resonated when you said there's not enough time in the world to do all the things you want to do. Ideas beget more ideas. Your story/world building has me thinking I should spend some time wandering in my own interior landscapes and bringing back images. Plus now I'll need to up my technical skills. Thanks for the inspiration and sharing.

      @playlistshift 4 роки тому +1

      I want to be as hard working. You have drive. If you want to pop, use hue more than tone. Use a deeper colour instead of mixing in black or a purer colour instead of mixing in white. Still use black and white for highlight and dark, just not for the gradient through shadow for form. It'll be brighter. Drying time, in other words. Don't mix black or white with colour. Richer primary. Thanks for the love.
