    Some thoughts on painting faces and skin tones... and Super Mario...

      Do you paint by looking at images or do you paint them with your insights?

    It'd be great if you included some clips of your palette so we can see how you mix colors, how much you mix of every color, how you organize them on the palette etc.

    Since I’ve started painting, I’ve always had a photorealistic style, because people seemed to enjoy it the most.
    Your videos actually inspired me to stop doing what pleases other people and incorporate a more free style, different textures and colors. Now my paintings bring even more joy to my clients and other people.
    Thank you so much!

    • @adriangt154
      @adriangt154 5 років тому +18

      people like photorealistic style because people dont want to think and see new ways to visualize the world. something lazy for the brain.

    • @infowazz
      @infowazz 5 років тому +5

      many start off being realistic and then becoming more free over time. so your foundation is solid. congrats!!!

    • @drinkwoter
      @drinkwoter 4 роки тому

      i like photo realistic style , and work in same style just because it amazes how few colours can make a thing that i see, of course art is diverse and photo realistic style is a small part of it but no one can ignore that its the most important one because it's what visual art started because of, one can argue normal singing/music is not interesting and they like opera or beatboxing etc but natural/normally singing cannot be stated inferior

    • @hmax1591
      @hmax1591 4 роки тому

      Is o.k. to go out and do your own style.....but remember that it is the customer you intend to sell the painting to that has the last say.....Sure...there are different people that like different styles. Don't paint what people want unless is a commission work. You can't always please everybody.

  • @peppermintbliss597
    @peppermintbliss597 5 років тому +30

    Ok, I don’t know how you do it, but you just inspired me so much! I haven’t really tried realism, inanimate objects here and there, eyes on my math homework, and one lip drawing that I’m very proud of, but other than that, nothing. I also haven’t used oil paints ever, but your videos make me wanna try them! Thanks so much for the inspiration!

  • @randomalienfrommars0567
    @randomalienfrommars0567 5 років тому +111

    As someone who really struggles with trying to imitate reality perfectly and gives up easily, your advice about freeing ourselves from expectations and not copying things as they are was really inspiring, thank you very much ;-;
    Ps. The music went soo well with the video, good choice!

    • @MetaMessiah
      @MetaMessiah 4 роки тому +1

    @christinedonovan4319 2 роки тому

    I absolutely LOVE your videos. They put things in perspective for me. Not just tips on the actual process. But as an artist. I'm always so hard on my self
    I put myself in this box and stop having fun with my passion because I am worried if anyone will like it.

  • @mouseinthecity850
    @mouseinthecity850 4 роки тому

    Amazing art and great words of inspiration! Thank you! It came so timely for me, as yesterday I painted something and tried to make it as close to reality as possible, and failed. Everything went wrong on my painting because I had too much expectations! I was so much upset that I even cried a bit. Now I'm inspired and trusting myself and respecting my own vision. Much love to you! 💗

    I have been struggling with color for a long time and I finally realize that I've been looking at the world like its one single layer😅 While it is in fact just warm and cool colors being blended before my eyes. Its a bit like stippling, when you put two different colored dots together and back away to see them blend. Very interesting😊
