Finding inspiration to paint in the art of Richard Long walking

- I find inspiration to paint in the world of arts and this time in the artist Richard Long walking around on our planet. Richard Long Land art is named by some as Richard Long land art, but he disagrees with that. He call it Richard Long sculpture, I call it creating abstract art. By rearranging what is where he walks, like stones in a line of removing stones he is making abstract art. To me he is painting with different materials like in his Richard Long river Avon Mud paintings or his Richard Long installations. To me it is all about inspiration, land art, I loved the exhibition I visited where also were some Richard Long textworks. All in all a fascinating artist to look into.

Materials
The art materials I use in the videos are not sponsored.
I prefer to work on multi-purpose paper, more info in this video: • How to choose the RIGH...
In almost all my videos I use with Winsor&Newton Galeria acrylics, if not, I will say so in the video.
Other materials I use are in random order: 5, 10 and 40mm brushes, palette knives, acrylics medium, Ecoline liquid watercolor, Lyra color pencils, Lyra soft pastels, oil pastels, Stabilo color pencils, paper palette pad and basic masking tape. I also use household items like a permanent marker, scrub sponge, scissors, paper towel, and so on.

Landart made me Think of the Old childrens play of making a simple pattern and then jumping around and making rhythmic patterns - 🌺❤️
Thanks, Lis, for sharing this story. I grew up at the beach and loved to play and create in de sand waiting for the tide to wash it all away. Albert
Mud painting - fun - every child will love to be part of the explorative process -
its all about touching and mark making as a composition of imagination and entanglement of you and your Space 🎶🧡🎵🎨
Indeed, Lis, imagination, wonder and especially the tactile process of getting your hands dirty and to go beyond that. Albert
I found this quite moving! This is how the first artists must have painted. And here i am angsting because i have run out of my favourite ultramarine blue! Many thanks. Best R
Hey Robert, thanks. Interesting remark about the first artists, I never thought of if like that. Thanks, Albert
I love the idea of using natural materials for art making, yoy certainly made a very good example in this video.
Thanks Andrea, there are so many options besides or beyond paint. Use your imagination and enjoy what you do. Albert
Beautiful and inspiring, as always! Thank you!
Thanks Paneko1, just wondering how far you are, binge-watching the channel 😉

I watched approximately 2/3 of it. I’m not always responding bc I’m not at home, but I saw some videos, I really liked, 2-3 times also.. I wish I have more time to spent here, but this is very special place, so I’m grateful for every time.
Wonderful, I like it so much, dankje voor your inspiration 😊⚘🌼
Hi Susy, thanks. I love this artist so much, t looks so pure and simple but it is also very nice art. Albert
This is great !
Thanks Faith, fun to do as well. Albert
Very interesting video! And I didn't know Richard Long. That was a bonus.
Hi Roya, thanks a lot. I Just love artists like Richard Long who make art in a different corner of the art world.
Very cool👍
Hi Bonnie, thanks. Happy painting (or walking) sand stsy safe Albert
Ok this one really connected.
I don't like modern art, never have, I've tried but It was always a very expensive red dot on a white canvas to me. I was aiming for photo realism when I started painting, like Robert Bateman. I let go of that years ago. I have always done stuff like this and I love the cracking paint on old doors, broken windows and frost shapes and tree people and especially rocks and shadows.
I have been binge watching your videos and have never heard of most of these artists but I'm finding them fascinating and you are making me change my mind. I think it took making the link between the patterns in crushed leaves and spilled coffee stains on the table. Thank you for taking the time to make me look at the world from upsidedown and sideways.
Thanks Nicole for sharing this. I totally get it. I wasn't a fan of the expensive red dot paintings either. But over time I learned to look at them in a way that clicked for me. I too lover cracked paint, strange spots, old fences and so on. Every time it is about the process from beautiful ugliness of an old whatever or a shadow and how an artist translates it. That journey I can understand. Whatever comes out in the end, I just love it. Even a red dot on a white canvas. Thanks for binging, nice to have you here. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings I like it here. I've been known to sit and stare at a tree trunk, counting the colors especially birch. One of my proudest moments was when my son painted his Santa blue for his kindergarten teacher. Of course then she thought he didn't know his colors but he knew taupe Viridian cyan before he started school. He was just Stubborn. We gave her a gift that year and I found a blue Santa to put on the gift and I have a little one every year in my tree.
Great story about the blue Santa. Fits right into consciously not-coloring within the lines. It's sometimes difficult to fit in or adjust enough and keep your own standards. In case you're don't know the video, look on UA-cam for Sir Ken Robinson 'do schools kill creativity'. This rang so many bells for me on so many levels. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings very good talk. He makes perfect sense.
Interesting I wasn't familiar with Long, but enjoy the land artist, Andy Goldsworthy, of which there is a documentary or movie. I saw a documentary on the installation artist, Mark Dion, as well that combines various found objects like skeletons, vegetation, old metal, etc. to form his installations. I'd thought about making a painting with unconventional materials as well. Some use tea and coffee, I thought of toothpaste as it comes in a tube similar to paint and it comes in various colors too.
Hi Culture Fan, thanks. Goldsworthy is marvelous. Odd materials is always fun to play with. A friend of mine made a painting while using the peels of a mandarin or orange as brushes and regular paint. Also fun to try. Look for the young Dutch artist Milena Anna Bouma, she made a sculpture of a dog (hond in Dutch) of toothpaste. Looks adorable. There are no limits, try out whatever comes to mind. Happy painting, Albert
I’m still working through your videos. I love this idea and I believe art can be made out of anything starting in our heads. I love the use of the clay from your garden. It will be interesting to try things from the home also like ice cream syrups that way I can lick my fingers afterwards 😂
Hi TJ, thanks. I hear this voice in my head from my childhood 'don't play with your food...' and I'm glad we raised our kids differently. Making art or being creative can indeed be done with anything. I would go for chocolate flavor. Albert
So happy to have found your channel, Albert! I love every video that I have seen so far and really appreciate how each video links to the next one (not sure how you managed to do that, but it’s really nice to be able to follow your thread of thought that way)
Hey Francesco, thanks, nice to know you joined the club. It's funny to hear you see a thread of thought. It's actually the other way around. I make a video and look for a link to a previous one in my last words. That's how I do it. Don't tell anyone 😉 But actually I was thought about that feel, nice to hear it works. Any subject, technique or artist (abstract) you would see a video about? I'm open for suggestions. Albert
