- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- In this art vlog I experiment with selling my acrylic paintings on the street in San Juan, Puerto Rico! I just did a big art sale of some of my paintings and the remaining artworks I took out to the street to see how they would sell...watch until the end for how you can win an original painting :)

Hello
I love your paintings. I like the lilly pads and tulips. I said when I turned into my sixties I was going to start painting. And I have, but not very good. I love painting tutorials.please pick me.
Hi Feliks... Great experiment! I've been the starving glass artist in Venice, Cali. Now years later, I'm getting ready to teach glassblowing in Greenwich, Connecticut ... I also have a UA-cam channel Backyard Farm Club, where I make short videos of my animals, and nature, and I would love more subscribers... 🎉 Your tulips would look great on my wall . Na zdrowie!😊
You can paint really well, its a shame that you have to give them away, but like you said, there will be a lot of happy people.
@@backyardfarmclub9562I live near Greenwich conn where will you be teaching
I'm so disappointed for those people who paid nothing for your hard work
Your art is so beautiful .thank you for sharing
I'm watching from London UK
Thank you for your great support! 🥰
I think if he did the same thing at the right location in New York City his paintings would have gotten WAY more attention and he would have ended the day with $thousands. Many of his paintings are in the style of several very famous 19th century Hudson River School artists who are still very popular in NYC.
I think that is a result of the cheap copies that poeple can buy in stores now. They do not understand the amount of time that goes into a painting. Nor do most understand the cost if you are using artist grade materials. Now ay I could do this. It would not cover a tube of paint, BUT he does this for a living and may just be wanting to rid himself of some of the demonstrations that he does on UA-cam.
Not everyone can afford hundreds for a piece of artwork.
I agree especially selling his originals that low. If wanting to sell at affordable rates to some he should have prints and digital copies they can print on their own. Originals definitely should go for way more!
People pay what they can afford, not what they think it’s worth. I’m so grateful for you giving people who can’t afford fine art , the opportunity to awn a great piece that they can feel good about and bring them joy when they look at it
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
Pero todos los trabajos se pagan. O sólo los artistas deben hacerlo por amor al arte?
Tener un cuadro bonito en casa no es una necesidad para nadie. Si alguien quiere uno, pues o que lo pinte él mismo o que lo PAGUE COMO ES DEBIDO A SU AUTOR. Que sólo en materiales y en tiempo, ya cuesta más de 60€ el hacerlo.
Y que conste que yo jamás he vendido ninguno de los míos. Siempre he regalado a familia y a amigos , y el resto los guardo en casa como si fueran mis hijos , porque cada uno representa un sentimiento , un momento, una inspiración, y al igual que yo pago a cada profesional que necesito porque es lo correcto y lógico, lo lógico sería que los demás también paguen por nuestro ttabajo
Wow!! Absolutely impressive!! What this shows is that you can be happy with $4.00-60.00 that is nothing less than absolute humility on your part. What an impressive artist you are but more than that what an impressive human being you are!!! AMAZING ❤️
Hi dear, I am 76 years old father, who lost his 32 years old son that I love so much and because of the tragedy they told me that I can paint so I have been watching you and trying to copy and watch your videos. I appreciate your hard work and sharing with us, I am in United States in California. I wish I was closer and I would buy your paintings or the price that you give it away for God sake thank you again your painting is a therapy for my tragedy.
I’m so sorry you lost your son. I have a son and daughter and hope I never go through what you are going through. Parents just expect to go before their children. Please accept my deepest condolences.
Q triste historia , q pena tu perdida, si es terapia yo estoy comenzando y me feliz😢
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Painting is truly great therapy for the mind & soul. Take care my friend
I can't even imagine. I almost lost my 37 year old son and it was terrible. He's ok now.. He has an autistic son and he just added a daughter to the family. I don't see him often but I know he's happy and doing well.
I used to teach at a craft store and I would sometimes just talk to random people in the aisles and say art is great therapy...no matter the circumstances... I do hope you're inspired everyday to create your art.. I too suffer with depression and there are days all I do is sharpen pencils,doodle..I make bookmarks and refrigerator magnets to give away.makes me happy... I've been known to hand them out in parking lots...lol...
God be with you.
I feel bad that people are only giving you bread crumbs for your paintings… Except that last guy gave you $60.00!!! Good job!! And good luck in the future!!
I agree, only $4 for that painting? No, I think he should have set his prices instead of pay what y want
You failed to understand the purpose of the exercise
Dios te bendiga hermano, y te digo hermano porqué también soy artista plástico y sé cómo de duro la pasamos , nuestros trabajos artísticos los hacemos con mucho amor . Al igual que tú pinto la naturaleza. Mientras hay otros que pintan demonios , rostros desfigurados , etc y a ellos sí les va bien económicamente. En fin el mundo al revés. Te abrazo en la distancia y te envío toda la fuerza y buena vibra .
@@lolaadesina5362 if I failed to understand the reason, excuse me, but for this quality of work should be respected to the artist who worked long to create it
Es muy poco
Aka en colombia el Arte tiene.mucho valor
Saludos bendiciones
Hi Felix. I cannot believe you sold your paintings so cheaply. I love your work and you were one of the first artists I learned from on Utube. I only took on painting two years ago after retiring at 68 and after undergoing treatment for prostate cancer.
One of my very first painting and still one of my favourites is the one I painted watching your tutorial, when you painted that beautiful work that you sold for $4. I will treasure that painting, even though it is only a copy of yours.
Anyway, I never tried to sell my art but I did receive a request a few weeks ago from a friend of a friend and, like you, I sold the painting for whatever they were willing to pay for it. Imagine my surprise when I received $200 for it. Thank you Felix for being an inspiration.
Yea the issue is now trying to get a good price will be so hard as our work is valued at the price we put on it .
I mostly gift my painting to friends as most of my friends don't under the hardwork of painter n the time their spend on it. But for me it just a hobby so I gift them after I finish my painting
@@pennyc8252me too, I usually gift paintings to family or friends on birthdays or Christmas. It's a good gift idea that doesn't need a lot of money as I already have the supplies
@@pennyc8252That’s dumb, if they don’t honor your craft then they really don’t want your paintings either just saying
Все люди хотели бы получать желаемое в подарок.....
I think it’s wonderful to do that. Most people will never be able to afford fine art. You took your gift and made it so that people could cherish your work (and they will) because of your generous nature. God bless you and you have amazing talent.
Watching this video gave me the first really heart-felt smile today. I'm an art teacher myself (teaching children at school from 10 to 17 yrs). Currently ill (since a year) I had a small booth at our local "Christmas Market" two months ago and sold my (smaller) paintings at very very small prices... It gave me chills to hear that one woman, who bought one of my painted wooden bookmarks many years ago, never used it as a bookmark but framed it as an artwork.
It is such a gift to the world and our beauty-starving souls that you give your talent away for what people can afford! That's so generous and loving! Thank you for that, it gives me real hope! Your paintings are so beautiful! Love and best wishes to you and your young family from Germany 🙂
Felix your work is fantastic. I am watching from Chattanooga TN.
God loves you so! John 3:16✝️
Hi Felix, I’m Darryl and I live in Florida, USA. I paint as a way to cope with chronic illness and chronic pain. I am very impressed by your work. How wonderful of you to give people an opportunity to purchase and experience an original painting who otherwise could not afford to do so.
Why do you have chronic pain? I do too. I have small nerve fibre neuropathy.
Wow, beautiful artwork! Thank you for sharing your experience.
We are husband and wife artists from Arizona.
Thank you for sharing this experience. you are so humble. I think people don’t know what to pay so they walk because your paintings are very good and most people who don’t usually buy original paintings will be afraid to insult you with too low an offer. It was an experience but seriously confused people usually don’t buy. set a price. that sells. you are quite talented and I love watching your videos and seeing your sweet family.
Yes, I agree. Either set a price of set a minimum. I think that would free people up to buy them.
Greetings Brother Feliks.... I am an artist I draw mainly with Graphite mediums. But my profession is as a Graphic Artist. I love your art and your mindset and character. Out of respect to your channel as you have given viewers and opportunity to get to know at least 2 of us I would like to extend an offer as to someone that NOT ONLY JUST WANT one of your AWESOME Paintings... but I want to be able to create your banner ads and memes for your social media, I am more of a corporate and upscale designer. But enough about that. I want one of those paintings!!! It would be history for me if I could. At some point when I get motivation... I will likely move on from the Graphic Design world of Stress to painting beautiful calming visuals you have shown in this video. I will say I do need something like your painting to just stare into for 3 to 5 minutes to relieve the demanding deadlines of the Commercial At I so love but sometimes it makes me want to pull out the rest of my hair which is nearly gone due to the stressful life of a Graphic Designer. Well I hope this comment finds you and I hope you got a little bit of a laugh. In conclusion... whether I am picked or not, GREAT VIDEO and you have a new subscriber for life. Peace and much love to you and your beautiful family. From Graphic Designer Vincent-Dale of Stillwater Dezign.
You deserve so much love and recognition ❤ , moved by your kindness and simplicity. Thanks to social media ,for making me meet such kind hearts ,much love
Hallo from Poland. I can't believe you sold the painted picture for 4$
I've started painting few monthes ago and I know how much energy you've to put into your pictures.
I think you are a great person because you are inspiring other people - me too. Wish you and your beautiful family to be happy and healthy.
Hi Felix, my name is Nina (acrylic_scenery), I'm 41 and I'm watching your inspiring and teaching videos from germany. I've started painting one year ago because my 6 year old son saw one of your videos on UA-cam and asked for art supplies for his next birthday. So he got that and he found out very quickly that his real passion is sports not painting 😅 So I took over his equipment and gave it a try. I wish I've tried painting earlier because Im enjoying the journey so much. Sometimes as a married and working mom of two little boys it's not that easy to paint as much as I would love to but I'm happy and thankful every time I sit in front of my easel. Thankful that my little son brought such a big gift to my life and a big thank to you as well for sharing your knowledge with us and bring so much joy to each of us. I wish you and your lovely family all the best 🍀
Thank you for sharing! I’m happy to hear that you’re inspired to create and that your son encouraged you!
Was für eine tolle Geschichte! 🙂🙂🙂
.Indeed, you are a talented person, but I am sorry that you sell your wonderful paintings at a cheap price. Evaluate your art before others, because not all people know the value of things.good luck ❤️
@@ColorByFeliksздравствуйте 🙂вы говорите по Русски,вы из России?😊
Hi Fel, beautiful painting you have there, sad that I am miles away from you, wanted to have one or two...I love flowers or garden painting. Good luck and God bless!
I'm in Texas and paint in acrylics. I'd like to share a tip. If you use a cheap sponge brush you can paint the edges easily and quickly. Don't use the tip of the sponge, apply paint to the wide part of the flat body and, keeping it flat, run it along the edge of the canvas. It works beautifully and is fast. I use a 2 to 3 inch one.
This was a great experiment. You didn't make much but you brought happiness to people who may have limited means. They all seemed to appreciate your art and now they have something beautiful that they can enjoy every day.
Yes that’s how I do it and it’s fast and easy with now mess. Good tip. ❤
Hi Feliks, my name is Alicia and live in South OC California. I started watching your tutorials during COVID . I was bored at home doing nothing and one day I bumped in to your videos and decided to give it a try. At first I thought I could never paint a landscape since I never did it before and it kind of looked very complicated to me but I had nothing to lose lol so I painted my first 16X20 size painting of the bridge with a sunset on the background and it came out very nice actually! So you inspired me to start painting . Thank you so much for your free tutorial! They are amazing and I love it! I also cried when I saw how little some people paid for your art. I only sold one of my paintings one time and that’s because it was a special request from my friend from Puerto Rico and he sent me a picture of the landscape he wanted me to paint. I’m not painting to sell. I’m kind of very attached to what I paint and seeing you giving away your art like that makes me realize I cannot just hold my art. I should share it if people want to buy it right? I admire you for being so giving . Thank you. 🙏🏼Beautiful family you have btw.
Здравствуйте Феликс! Я начала плакать, когда увидела, что люди готовы платить копейки за ваши оригинальные картины. Я самоучка, пишу почти 10 лет, много своих работ раздарила, но много и продала на Etsy. Живу в Америке.
Удачи всем художникам!
Good luck to everyone, hope more people will appreciate original artwork!
мне тоже было жалко. холст и нанесенная краска в магазине стоят дороже. но возможно просмотры и раскрутка себя как художника важнее, наверное так считает автор
I started painting during Covid Lockdown, never done anything like it before. I’m 71 years old so it’s never too late to start something new. I watch your UA-cam videos from Ivybridge, Plymouth Uk 🇬🇧
Best regards John Brooks
Sorry for intruding on your comment, but I think it's beautiful that at 71 years young you are beginning to paint! Short of worshipping my Savior, painting is the most comforting thing I have ever done! Praying you many years to come enjoying your new artistic endeavor ❤
Hello Wendy from Plymouth!! I’m 76 from sussexnear Hastings. I love painting played around for year then decided oils weren’t for me so I’m into acrylic and water colour. You live in a part of the country. Wish you luck with your painting.🥰💕🐶🐶🇬🇧
@@SuperRocketdog1 it’s not Wendy it’s John 🤭
Hi John, good for you. Most of my life i thought that i could not paint, but always wanted to... Finally, in my late 50's i started to venture into it. It's a slow process, but i am building confidence and learning to see things like an artist does. It's loads of fun, challenging and very gratifying. And, it's all about practice. Blessings to all. Eve
@@malgozata1875 I totally agree it’s fun at times and frustrating at times. I’m going to start a new one tomorrow so have been watching his video a couple of times.
Wow may God bless you for giving people the opportunity to have a piece of art so cheap you’re a very talented person and your artwork is amazing I enjoy so much watching your tutorials keep painting and making beautiful art ❤
I am a self taught painter from Wisconsin. I love what you said about practicing! I saved my very first painting. Helps me realize how far I have come. ❤
Wow you are the kind of people we need in PR . I was born and raised in Puerto Rico and when I was 15 ,2000 I came to USA ! But every year I go and spend time with my family ! Ok to the point . I’m a watercolor artist but for a few years I try acrylics and oil painting but I stick with watercolors and I know it’s hard when you do painting that you know for a fact that worth over $150 like all of your paintings worth at least $200 and you let them go for nothing you have a huge heart let me tell you and all those people that have your painting for literally nothing . Don’t even know how lucky they are. Here If I take a comission , I take a nonrefundable deposit and over the years. I realize that a lot of people want to have a piece of art on their homes they don’t appreciate us as artist. You are one of the best artist I ever seen like all of your paintings are beautiful❤
Based on the quality of his work, those are $1000 paintings.
what are the best places and methods to sell such high quality expensive paintings?
Love to watch your passion about your art and instead of 159 $ you deserve alot more especially for details 😊❤❤ From Pakistan 13 years old and love these masterpieces ❤🖼️❤ 3 years ago when I started painting 🖌️🎨
Such beautiful artwork, I dabble in painting myself, I find it very hard to sell my work. People just don’t see all the hard work gone into every painting. I love the detail. Hope you do well and sell heaps more in the future!!!
I'm a recovering alcoholic 5 years and your UA-cam tutorials helped me grow so many different ways. At first I told myself no way I can't do this this guy is way too good but I was so in love with the painting I pushed myself and of course it doesn't look as good as yours but I made it my own and I was able to give it to my mom for Christmas so it's really special thanks for all you do.
Happy for you brother!
Congratulations on your achievement and perseverance. Very inspiring!
To be able to sell for what people can afford to pay is very thoughtful. Sometimes amount cannot express how they would value your pieces for the rest of their lives ❤ you inspire me to learn more about painting
Hi Feliks! Watching this video makes me admire you even more. Thank you for sharing this and your lovely family. I’m from the US. I actually started painting when I lost a friend to Cancer. I watched and learned from your videos. I have watched other tutorials but you are my favorite. I want to thank you for this video. You are an amazing, talented and passionate artist and teacher. I now paint and give some of my paintings to people who are in need. Some are sick and some are grieving. I paint them something that they are passionate about. Hopefully my paintings will uplift them. I love giving them something that gives me joy and helped me through my grief. I can never thank you enough for always inspiring me. I just wish I could have started painting when I was younger but maybe this was fate and the moment
I feel quite sad that these people paid so little for your work, when it's worth so much more. I got the impression they were just after what they could get for as little as possible. An enlightening video all the same. Thank you for showing us what you do.
I appreciate that you understand the purpose of this experiment video. Many blessings 🙏
I love that you sold a painting for 4 dollars. This represents the true definition of art.
Art is anything that evokes emotion. The emotion that man had over owning his own painting was pure art.
Keep the dream going.
I try myself but have waisted too much time not pai to g.
Love, respect and support from
Wellsburg WV. USA
4 доллара - это очень мало Это стоимость холста и красок не покроет
I am a 71 yr old, recently widowed, thereby losing my favorite fan as I struggle to earn all I can learn. I had never picked up an artists' brush until 2019. My medium is acrylic, my favorite setting is nature. I am thankful that I stumbled on your incredible art and lessons and passion for art and have attempted to follow your lessons, not necessarily replicate your work. Simply because I am not you! Since losing my spouse of over 52 yrs, I am struggling to refind the joy in painting, your honesty and passion are instrumental in my stepping back in to that. I would be very blessed to have one of your pieces in my home.
Your paintings are worth waaaaaaaay more!! ❤
Thank you so much 😀
Wow! I just watched your video and it floored me! Your generosity is so incredible. You are sitting on a gold mine and offering it up for mere pennies. It is stories like this that restore my faith in humanity. Your loving family supports you in your passion which makes you very fortunate indeed.
Oh my goodness, I admire you even more because of this experiment you did! I have painted a few of your tutorials and I love how you teach. I started during Covid and love! I’m in Pontotoc, Mississippi close to where Elvis was born. God bless you and your precious family🥰
I really love the way you sold your art pieces. You inspired me to look for the smile of others more than mine. Thank you so much.
I started painting 3 years ago, I had never even drawn stick figures as a child or growing up. I haven't stopped painting since I picked up the brush 3 years ago and do not plan on quitting any time soon. I live in East Tennessee in the Smokey Mountains. Loved watching you do this!! Thank you so much.
I wish I had been there, I’m from South Carolina and have drawn and painted since a child. Your art is so beautiful, you should set a price if you do it again. I imagine a lot of people didn’t buy a piece because they did not want to insult you, although I know you were experimenting. A lady I stayed at in a B & B told me Thomas Kinkade used to sit in front of a grocery store and sell his paintings for $20.00. He also painted her B&B. Good luck with your awesome talent!
Hello from North Carolina, USA. My name is Gayle Sparrow. I throughly enjoy your videos. Best wishes for a successful future!
I’m a self taught acrylic artist from Mississippi and I’ve been following your beautiful artwork for years! This was such a cool experiment! ❤
Commenting as I’m watching. You made that sweet man so happy to have a gorgeous piece of original art. You are giving many the opportunity to have something valuable that they would otherwise never be able to have. I think it’s a wonderful gesture to give back. The law of attraction. The more you give, the more you get back for your beautiful family. I love watching your entire family. And I love so much seeing bits of Puerto Rico!
Hi Felix,
That was very sweet of you to give people the chance to buy one of your beautiful paintings, at a price they could afford. It’s not always about the money. Art is to be enjoyed, and appreciated. ….. I always enjoyed drawing, and a few years ago decided to start painting.
You’re an amazing person, and artist!
Watching from Michigan.
Thank you! I really appreciate that 🥰
I’m a retired teacher who is finally able to get to my first love- painting ! I’m watching from Kentucky. Your work is beautiful !
I live in West Des Moines, IA and l had to retire early because of medical reasons. My mother was very gifted and painted beautiful pictures. I took up painting to pass the cold indoor weather here in Iowa. I painted alot of pictures I gave to friends for birthdays and house warming. I found your channel several years ago and fell in love with your blending techniques. I've been inspired by every painting you've done and how you mix colors. Your very good at showing the viewer how to create. Thank you for what you do, I really appreciate your art!
Hello Feliks - Your video showed up on my video home page, and I have to say I have never seen so many beautiful paintings in one place ... Wow, you have incredible skills!!! I thought you would sell them all on day one.
I am watching from Central Minnesota USA and have recently started painting again after decades, since high school. I can't wait to watch all of your other videos. Bless you and your family, your generosity, and your lucky winners.
I am from Florida. Your color mixing and blending is just so skillful and beautiful.
Thank you for this video. I just started painting consistently, daily since after Christmas. I’ve done about 20 or more (mostly 11x14) in that time. Just focusing on building my skills through UA-cam tutorials like yours and Joni Young (you two are the only Patreon accounts I’ve ever had). I live in Long Beach, WA by the coast and am planning on going to the beach to paint live this Spring as well as displaying in cafe’s, etc. I currently don’t have any active social media at all, but I’m about to start. I appreciate your taking the time to do this experiment and video; it helped to propel me along this journey. Thank you!
Hi Felix, I am from Trinidad and Tobago, the Island of carnival, steel band and calypso and so much more. I love your artwork, blessings always , Ursula. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hi Felix, my name is Apolinar Marin .I'm 67 and I'm watching your inspiring and teaching videos from NYC.
Don't worry . The next days wiil be better for you and your family....on and on...Be nice and Mellow.
Your paintings are so amazing, so beautiful. They would worth so much more than these people payed for them. Your paintings are absolutely fabulous. I'm also painting, but far not as good as you. I'm just a starter, you are a real artist. My name is Timea, I'm 34 years old. I started to paint about 6 months ago. I would be very glad if I would be the lucky winner. Very hard to chose, because all of them are perfect. I'm from Serbia.
I'm watching from north carolina, USA. I started painting in 2016 after my husband passed away as a form of therapy. Art is a true healer for me. I love your work!
🙏♥️
I’m from Canada! 🇨🇦
Something about me. I too have always loved art.
I was the kid that got the most excited at art/colouring tine in school and yep- I’d sniff my crayons lol
I'm watching from Lebanon. I have been drawing all my life, for the last 20 years I have been painting in various techniques and stiles in oil and acrylic. I also tried selling on the street several times in Lebanon. Here people are also ready to buy only very cheaply. I was surprised that it was the same for you.
Hi Feliks I’ve always wanted to learn how to paint. I developed adenoid cystic carcinoma , which is a tumor on my voice box in the year 2021 had it removed and so far so good no cancer but during the recovery time and treatment, I started watching UA-cam videos and I’ve been painting and loved every minute of it. I may not be great, but I enjoy it. I am from Westwego Louisiana and love your work you are fantastic! ❤😊
So cool that you wanted random people to own your fine art pieces. They will smile about that each time they see it. Gonna check your tutorials now😊. Mims, Florida.
😊😊😊
Hello Felix. I enjoyed watching your experiment. I live in Northern Illinois, USA. I started painting 3 years ago while the world was shut down. Your tutorials, along with other great artists on this platform, got me through that difficult time. It showed me a way of dealing with my depression through art. I paint nearly every day. I currently use the painting as a business and run a local small paint and sip. I love sharing the beautiful healing that comes from painting. If I get chosen for this part of your experiment, I would choose the football. My son is a football coach, and a fine one at that :). Thank you for sharing that personal side of you, your beautiful wife and child.
Hi Felix! You are an amazing artist! I admire your passion and dedication to detail! I’ve had the love of art since childhood too. I’ve always loved drawing and painting. That artistic passion has continued into my career as a hairstylist and now career as an artist. My mother and grandmother are also artists and my uncle’s are musicians. Thank you so much for all of your tutorials and advice! You can definitely tell you’ve put in the hard work! Your skill is amazing!! Thank you from Elkhart Indiana 🫶🏻
Hi Felix, i'm watching from Germany and i'm an aspiring artist that started painting around 2 years ago. So far i've only used acrylics and even though i'm still struggling painting with it, it's tons of fun learning and watching creators like you do wonderful stuff with it! Thanks you for every video that you've posted and i'll continue supporting you for a long time!
Hi Felix. My name is Ann from the UK. Love that you share all your experience, and that you give the glory to God. 😊
I am a grandma who has discovered having fun with paints, mainly painting rocks, during covid. I am watching from B.C. Canada
Hello Feliks, when this video popped up I started watching in awe, never looking to see who you were. By the end I finally saw who you were and was amazed because I have painted to some of your tutorials!! You do such beautiful work and definitely deserve more than what you were paid here, 19:29 but this was so inspiring to see you sell your art at a price many people can enjoy! I love to paint for the pure pleasure of it so I give it away to family and friends. I have had a family member and a friend commission me to do paintings as gifts. I didn't put a price on them, just asked they pay me what they felt it was worth and I was shocked at what I received! It felt really nice that they loved my art enough to do this. You are so talented and have a big heart, that I know God will surely Bless. Wishing you and your family many blessings and happiness from Colorado USA❤❤❤
Thank you so much! 😃🙏
Hi Felix. I'm watching from Sun City Arizona. I'm 75 and have been painting for probably 40 or 50 years. Not so much in the last couple of years though due to health reasons. I very much enjoy watching you paint. I am partial to your smaller tree paintings. There was one I really liked that was very dark on the bottom half, with a night sky. Looking forward to seeing more of your painting videos. Pam
Hi Pam, I live in Surprise, AZ. I'm very close to you & I am 70 years old. I'm sorry you are having health problems & hope you can create again soon.
I am 71 age like to paint landscapes poor health lack of money
As I continued watching I realize that you guys are so humble. 😅
I am inspired by your courage to do this sale, and so confident that your talent gifted by God is not measured by the price you can possibly sell it for.You want your buyer to buy because they love your paintings. I absolutely love your paintings as you are very skilled , and you are a great teacher.
I watch your UA-cam videos and have learnt much from you.

I’m watching from Texas, I started painting 4 years ago. I have learned a lot watching tutorials here on UA-cam, thank you for sharing your talent, your paintings are beautiful!
Selling down your inventory helps free you to create more. Congrats on the sales. My watercolor group of mostly retired folks get together and put our work on sale at the 100 mile garage sale that is a huge event in Minnesota along the Mississippi. Last year I sold nearly $1000 of my work of pieces between $5 and $60 . We are preparing for this year's sale. I live in WI along the Mississippi and the sale is across the river at my friend's studio. I enjoyed seeing your work.
This was so intriguing to me. As a used-to-be artist myself, I would have been doing cartwheels in my mind if I had walked by and seen so much beautiful artwork on a street corner. But I'm shy, and with my awareness of what goes into a painting and how much they often go for, I think I wouldn't have been brave enough to offer whatever money I had on hand because I would would be aware that it could be considered to be insultingly less than the painting was worth.
So I guess I may be in the minority here, but I admire these folks who saw beautiful work, saw a stellar deal, and went out on a limb to acquire an original painting, which it sounds like they will truly cherish. Originals aren't in the budget for many people, and I'm still smiling about the $4 guy saying, "Nobody can touch it now. It's MINE!" I'm glad they all took the amazing opportunity when it was presented! What a gift you offered them!
Hey Felix love your art work and style absolutely beautiful 😍 just felt bad that you didn’t get a fair deal on the pieces you sold as they are definitely worth a lot more with all the hard work, time and effort it took to perfect each piece that you painted, I can’t believe how humble you are and your cute family supporting you all the way and also that you wish for anyone from any walk of life to get access to such masterpieces that you are also giving away on your vlog, lost for words don’t get people like you in this day and age anymore very rare to find………I am just getting back into painting again myself and want to gain knowledge and more confidence in all painting media, love painting still life and landscapes and also architecture anything really that inspires me to paint and draw, love watercolour also acrylics and gouache and experimenting with different styles and textures………sending love ❤️ Scotland 🏴 UK
I'm watching from France, i'm a young artist who's just drawing by passion no matter what and your videos have been very inspirational in many ways . your art is amazing
That's awesome! Thank you! 🙏
I love learning new painting techniques. It seems no two artists are the same and for good reason! God made us each unique and I love that you are willing to share your skills with us! Thank you. I'm watching from the mountains of Northern Idaho, US. Three weeks ago it was -30 F at my little cabin in the woods. It is hard to heat my house with my little wood stove when it gets that cold, but my cats love cuddling with me by my stove in the kitchen, so it's not all bad! Now we are all (my cats and I) looking forward to Spring. Hope the snow melts soon! Loved seeing the sunny weather in this video! Gives me hope that warmer days are coming.
My Name is Susan McCain, I too asked the lord to guide my hand and show me how to paint! I love your paintings and watch your tutorials often, I think you’re Amazing! Watching from Kokomo, Indiana…
Omgosh I am in Rochester, about a half hour north of you! Hello, fellow Hoosier! I guess the good Lord gave us fantastic taste in UA-cam artists 😉
Thank you so much! 😃🙏
I ask the Lord or direct me as well!
Felix is amazing
Hola Felix, soy Blanca de Monterrey, México. Me gusta mucho como pintas, he aprendido mucho contigo. Tomo clases de pintura pero tengo pocos meses.Te deseo todo el éxito posible. Bendiciones para tu familia, especialmente para el hermoso bebé.
Watching from Kentucky. I have been practicing painting with acrylics for 5 years and gradually I see my skills improving a bit. I love your tutorials! The realism in your painting technique is phenomenal! At the beginning of your experiment I really believed you would sell each painting on day one! How could anyone could walk past your works of art and not desire to own something so beautiful? If I could choose from what you have shown today I would pick the field with the rainbow. It represents a promise of light and calm after the storm to me. Thank you for sharing your techniques and giving inspiration to people like me seeking to improve their painting skills as a form of expression where words fall short.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words and support!
Hello Felix! You are a wonderful artist I've been following your channel for a long time. I'm a 72 year old woman and I just started painting myself 3 years ago. I'm self taught but your tutorials have inspired and taught me a lot. You have a lovely family. I would love to have one of your paintings but know I would never win one they are all beautiful! I live in Eagle Grove, Iowa. Beth Good
Hi Felix, I am Sushmitha born in India and now working in UK. I have started painting with acrylics from 2022 and completely enjoying it. Every time I paint something I am getting to learn new things. Painting with acrylics is completely new to me. Thanks to social media for getting your art on my feeds and just loved all your art work. You are amazing and really an inspiration. I am looking forward to learn some techniques to work with acrylics from your videos 😊
I'd like to buy your painting.
I want to draw your picture.
I want to learn your painting.
I live in Korea.
Your painting is very delicate and beautiful.
Your painting is fantastic.
It hurts my body and my heart.
I'm receiving treatment.
I'm a survivor of a violent family.
My parents have dementia.
I quit my job and took care of my parents.

Painting makes me calm down.
I envy you.
I will also learn and practice hard.
I like drawing pictures.
Bob Ross, the ingredients are too expensive.
Dear Feliks, I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, which is where I am watching this video today. I love your paintings for so many reasons. Your technique is so refined, the colors you chose are beautiful and coordinated in a way that the overall appearance of each painting has an harmony that resonates with me. About fifteen years ago I worked for a Large Format Digital Printing Company as the Director of Client Services. I also was the only marketing and sales person working for this brand new company. The Owner of the company was also the Company Manager. After a short while, he also hired a Graphic Designer to do graphic design work for the clients that came to us for printing. Prior to opening this printing company, he had gone to University and earned a Computer Science degree, followed by ten years working for another printing company as the Print Operations Manager. Before, I was able to fulfill my responsibilities as Director of Client Services, I had to do everything related to Sales and Marketing for this new start-up. In other words, I had to first sell businesses on using the services of our company and then I was responsible for taking care of everything related to closing the sale, submitting it to the printing floor etc. etc. and serve the Customers in all ways related to doing business with our company. Our company did every kind of large format printing including such things as wrapping cars, trucks, large trailers etc. with advertising, various kinds of printing to affix to the vehicles for personal preference or business identity. We printed banners, trade show signage, political campaign signage, etc.. I also did business with Artists who wanted to have giclee's done of the paintings etc. The list of different clients I won and the types of jobs won were wide and varied. One thing I noticed is that it wasn't long before I could tell who did the work that was being submitted for printing. I came to realize that each person who creates something leaves a part of them within their work...much like our fingers leave fingerprints behind anything we touch with our bare hands. It did not matter if the works were created for completely different purposes and different techniques were being utilized. Clues to the creator's identity were left behind. The fact that you would decide to make your paintings available to anyone for any price is a demonstration of your character. Personally, I understood the joy they expressed when they were able to purchase the painting of their choice at a cost they could afford. And, I understood the reason why more paintings were not purchased. I believe these people understood the real intrinsic worth of your paintings, knew that you are an artist who makes these paintings as your way of earning a living to take care of you and your family, and then there are others who just were not in the market to acquire a painting--no matter how beautiful--for any price on that day. I am sorry I was unable to send the proposal I wrote to you about. I am very busy today and for a good portion of the day tomorrow. As soon as I have free time, I plan to submit my proposal to your website. In closing, I just want to say that I do believe one cannot serve others to make others lives better without receiving a far greater blessing from our Father in Heaven. Your faith and charity in action reminds me of the importance to do the same in my own life. Finest regards, Anita
Hi Felix. What a brave and generous thing to do, letting those beautiful paintings go so cheap. I am almost 70 and have always wanted to paint. I started in 2017 doing the kindness rocks. A friend said to trycanvas…I can’t eve draw a stick figure but found I could paint. One of my first ones was watching a tutorial you did with flowers and a butterfly. I retired in December after 35 years of running my own cleanong service. Now I am just painting and trying to learn how to sell them. I also have done a lot of the fluid art. Thanks for all the wonderful tutorials you do.
@karensouthern3780 I love doing abstract art, because there are absolutely no rules unless you make them. I'm always encouraging people who want to paint but feel they lack the skills to try it, as once I started I didn't want to go back to figurative. I've seen a lot of those painted rocks on Facebook too. Putting out something you've made into the world is always special
Hello, Felix. I'm Christie from Pennsylvania. I'm almost 75 years old and I'm finally able to start painting ! I was so happy that you sold that beautiful painting to a lovely gentleman for $4! I'm sure he will love and appreciate it for the rest of his life! I've been enjoying your videos for awhile now. Thank you so much for sharing them with us. For so many people, watching videos like yours is the only way we have access to art lessons. God bless you and your sweet family!
Hi Feliks, this is Annette from Muncie, Indiana. I dabbled in painting, drawing, and other mediums all my life, but my 1st love is pottery. I taught classes at the art league for 6 years before moving to Muncie in 2020. My mom and my daughter were the painters in the family until I was asked by a family member to paint several murals in an Autism clinic, which was a lot of fun to do together. This inspired me to combine painting and pottery, which I'm sure will add a bonus to my work. My daughter and I both enjoy watching your videos, you're a great artist and teacher! Wishing you and your beautiful family all the love and joy this world has to offer, from Muncie, Indiana.
Felix! Your tutorial videos are my absolute favorite. I admire your work so much. But this video was so special to me. I just knew from your "What I do with my old paintings" video that you were in PR. 😍 It pains me that I no longer live there or I would have gone to San Juan as a #1 fan to buy a couple of your paintings. They are priceless. Those beach sunsets you paint are so dreamy. Your work really inspires and motivates me to continue practicing. Perhaps one day I'll be fortunate enough to own one of your works. Thank you so much for sharing this video with us. 🥰
You were one of, if not THE, first painter I started watching from here in Phoenix Arizona several yrs. ago. I can easily recognize your style of art while scrolling through UA-cam, w/out knowing it's even yours. I hope someday my house will have some of my favorite Feliks paintings displayed. I'll need to get a bigger home since ALL of them are my FAVORITE! THANKS for sharing your talent.
Hi Felix. I watched your videos from time to time. Because of you, I've changed my painting technique and using now a mop brush to soften my work. I also started to show at a local coffee shop years ago. Never old one, but the feedback was valuable. They had an auction one evening and let a painting go at half my price. I was so glad. I stood on numerous flea/craft markers, but people then expect it to be cheap. I was told to never undersell your art. If it gives you more exposure, then it helps. I am on social media, etc but must admit that I'm not really hands on there. I think if I promote more aggressively and really use the media, I might sell more. Now I sell only by word of mouth. It is actually disheartening as I have limited space to store my paintings and if I paint, I paint just for the pleasure of it. I'm not nearly as good as you though and still learn a lot, but with my age, it's getting more difficult, as my hands don't always feel like painting! I painted the NOMIZO WATERFALLS with you. I loved the light effect. Your paintings is so beautiful and lively. Those that got it for a good price is fortunate. 👌It's top class.
Thank you for sharing your experiences and techniques with us that is still learning. Blessings always.
I’m a 79 yr. Old Puerto Rican artist. I’m serious about selling now. I was busy bringing up my. Family. I printed a bunch of acrylic Gelli monoprints and I’m taking steps to sell. That P R thing is familiar. I was there last June for two weeks with my family. I live in Colorado. Im digging the beautiful snow. I like your art. Oil is my favorite medium. Im painting small things.I want to pick up speed and do some good serious figurative art. Probably surreal for my own joy. I loved seeing you guys. Beautiful family. Blessings. Judi Perez
My name is Linda, I just picked up painting again, its been over ten years. I am watching from Norway. Your channel is a great inspiration, thank you for what you do.
Hi Felix’s, I’m also a starving artist of over 50 years. I was mesmerized by your experiment as I’m always interested in how people market their work. Although you didn’t make much money, you did create quite a buzz here on UA-cam. You’re paying it forward in such an unselfish way and you’re not one of the art snobs which is a huge plus. Having such a giving spirit is something people pay attention to and will remember. Good luck to you and your paintings are just amazing.
Thank you for doing that, you let others who can't afford to pay a lot to enjoy your art.
Hi Felix ! I'm from Clay Springs Arizona. My passion is art. Im 72 soon to be 73. Im a care giver for my 95 year old Dad and I don't have good health so I'm not able to paint much any more. I love your paintings. They are beautiful, you have talent. Keep painting! Sharon Brewer
Hi Felix...I'm an oil painter from the deep South but now I live on a farm in Indiana with my husband. So very far from home! I enjoy your videos very much. Thank you for all you do in the creative artists world.
Doing it for the right reason at the RIGHT TIME! We need ORIGINAL affordable art NOW more than EVER! You WILL be blessed! Cheers!
how dya feed baby?
I have been painting for about 8 years now and am still learning new techniques every day. I absolutly LOVE your artwork. Your paintings are STUNNING!!!

My name is Janice and I live in Lawson, Mo just north of Kansas City, Mo in the USA
PICK ME, I am watching from SC, USA. I have a passion for art. I love to give handmade items to people. What is your motivation for art?
I I am a blind artist you encourage me today, so first thing in the morning and I came across. I listened to everything you said my voice says your work is amazing. Big hugs from Tucson Arizona.
Watching from South Carolina and I'm 61 yrs old and am an aspiring artist myself. And when I grow up I hope to be able to paint like you!
Hello, from San Antonio, Texas. You are so talented and diligent. Happy your wife is so supportive and your baby is precious! What a sweet and humble family
Hi from the UK, Gatwick. I do a lot of crafts that some people call art. I don't. It is just the way I get away from every day preasure and rush. I am inspired by the variety of your ideas and colour palette that you use. Thank you for saring your passionate artwork. 😊 Kat
Brother you are so talented but with wife and child I would encourage you not to sell so low because they can and probably will just resell YOUR WORK at a much higher price. I see you mean will God Bless you but again I encourage you to price fairly.
Hello Feliks! I'm a North Texan who loves to paint. I'm not great but as you said practice makes perfect! You have a Beautiful family and you are such a blessed young man to have such a supportive wife! Your work is truly amazing and I wish you the best in all of your future endeavors! Never give up on your passion.
Thank you very much, this video,as usual, is very helpful and encouraging . I was very excited by your experiment which needs courage and generosity.
My family and friends say that i'm an artist ,but sometimes i feel need of self- confidence,most of my painting are not my own imagination. I love to paint i had painted almost about 100 paintings most of them given up to my family-members and friends, and still painting.
Origionally I'm a physics professor, quit teaching at an age of 55 and follow my passion: painting, i live now in Lewiston NY USA.
Thank you . Layla Naim
I am a retired high school art teacher. Your work is lovely. I enjoy watching your videos. You remind me of several of my students. I pray that you will sell your work for MUCH more! Laura Richardson
Hi Felix, I am writing from Arizona. I signed up for your mentorship about 2 or 3 years ago. I work in all the 2 dimensional mediums & teach art classes in person to adults & kids.. I really appreciate all that you share. you are a great teacher & artist. I am always looking for ways to improve through other artists' teachings. I think as artists, we never stop learning new techniques to enhance our own unique style that God has blessed us with. I love your art & the way you teach others.
