I appreciate that, thank you! Up until now I really didn't sign my work because I just never felt my art properly reflected my truest expression. I am finally arriving at a place where I'm proud of my work!
There’s something about how you smudge out and make changes in the line stage that almost builds up the feeling of an underpainting, and that makes me so excited to embrace corrections in my own paintings. Like I could just smudge it out AND get beautiful depth too!
Thats a great observation! It seems to happen by chance sometimes, but I've done paintings in the past where I actually intentionally wiped away and smudged paint on purpose in the underpainting stage! So you're onto something, definitely continue to just roll with those unexpected moments in the underpainting!
New subscriber. Dope work! I appreciate you taking the time to show and explain that color chart and paying such close attention to detail with it. The piece turned out great. Can't wait to see more
Exactly! An element of my practice seemed to be missing and taking it to that next level with painting people I actually interact with will add that element of collaboration and story telling to my work!
Yesss! I want to be comfy and paint clothes friendly. You've inspired me to go and thrift a bunch of comfy painting clothes :) Not sure why its taken me so long to arrive at this conclusion haha
just found your channel! also very inspired by Henry Taylor and jealous you are living in New York! Im hoping I can make it there eventually as well, please keep it up!
Having access to such great artists is such a highlight of living here in New York, I should really take advantage of it more! Thanks for the kind words. Definitely make your way out to NY, keep up the pursuit as well :)
Nice to meet you Chante! So glad that I found your channel, it's the perfect mix of art technique + life + NYC (hoping that you'll be able to share more inspiration pics and art galleries). Wondering if you've listened to jazz artist Chief Adjuah (recently reviewed in the NYTimes)?
Welcome! I’m happy you enjoyed a bit of everything I had in the video. I’ll definitely be sharing more :) I’m always excited to listen to new artists, a good recommendation goes a long way. I look forward to listening to Chief Adjuah! Thank you!
Nice painting, interesting process, and nice vlog. I would have liked to see the phase where you added the stripes to the shirt. ...so about your hat, is there a backstory to why the name "Malibu" is printed upside down?
You know I actually do have the recording of adding the stripes on the shirt. I’m happy you’re interested in that part of the painting, maybe I can create a UA-cam short of that detail. Since I didn’t put it in the video As far as the hat! I picked it up at a surf shop in Los Angeles when I went surfing for the first time. The design caught my eye and it was a bit of a memento for surfing my first day!
Doug! We are on the same page! Alice Neel is definitely a source of inspiration for me. As I develop my own personal style I still use her as a reference point
Are you just using pure color from the tube when you apply that first layer? I find that my first layer is way too "watered " down with solvent, it's a habit I have a hard time breaking. Also starting with the forehead is so true! 😂 I was also clued into using stiff bristle brushes pretty late into my art journey (6 years into it) actually at an art class. Such a time saver, truely.
Doesn't it make such a big difference using the right brush, who would've guessed haha ;) But as far as using solvent, I use very little when I paint. It depends on how workable the paint is straight out of the tube, but for the most part I use the smallest amount. I usually dip my brush in the solvent and then blot most of it off on my rag! It helps the paint be more fluid, but like you mentioned too much can make it watered down for sure.
So I use the main color in a greater quantity when I mix the two together. This is just how I chose to go about it but you can certainly do equal parts this may give you slightly different results but thats the beauty in color mixing... the combinations are endless!
Aww that would’ve been nice to have his reaction in the video! (Maybe I should start adding that in the future!) He seemed like he genuinely loved it haha!
Alice Neel is absolutely one of my favorite artists! I definitely draw inspiration from her. I got to see her show in California this year. Her work really gave me the confidence to lean into expressionistic portraits!
Thank you so much! I hope San Francisco is treating you well :) I'm still getting my instagram up and running, IG is so much harder for me than youtube... not sure why!! But I used the sony zv1 as my camera for all my filming!
Simply beautiful!! ❤❤

Thank you for subscribing! I appreciate the wonderful comment. Excited to show more for sure!
I think going forward with painting the folks in your life is a great idea and probably that next level you are looking for. Keep up the good work.

Those paint pants are awesome. It’s always a struggle for me not painting in my robe. Bought a bunch of jumpers so I can feel just as cosy. 😊

Can u do a vid tutorials on the colour mixing chart. Such a good idea. Thank you
I could definitely do a video on them. I’ve been meaning to get back to making more color key references. Thanks for suggesting that!
Keep up the amazing work the Universe will bend to your dedication and commitment towards inspiring the world… #cosmiccolkection

Great job. Are you familiar with the painter Alice Neel?
Doug! We are on the same page! Alice Neel is definitely a source of inspiration for me. As I develop my own personal style I still use her as a reference point
Where can I find your music playlist?!👀
Haha you like it!? I'll have to send you the tracks ;)

AMAZING!!! SUCCESS!!!!
Thank you!!
love the colour key idea✨ do you mix the main colour with the next colour on the list in equal proportions ?
So I use the main color in a greater quantity when I mix the two together. This is just how I chose to go about it but you can certainly do equal parts this may give you slightly different results but thats the beauty in color mixing... the combinations are endless!
@@ArtChante thank you ! will definitely be trying it out, i’m trying to reconnect with my creative side
Where can we get that paint mixing table ?
Its from ikea. The name is "NISSAFORS" if you want to search it up. On top of the cart I have a painting palette
What was your boyfriend 's reaction? 😊
Aww that would’ve been nice to have his reaction in the video! (Maybe I should start adding that in the future!)
He seemed like he genuinely loved it haha!
Do you like Alice neel?
Alice Neel is absolutely one of my favorite artists! I definitely draw inspiration from her. I got to see her show in California this year. Her work really gave me the confidence to lean into expressionistic portraits!
@@ArtChante yea she’s awesome! You should check out Jennifer packer if you don’t know her already, she’s great
Вы где-то обучались рисованию?
Currently I am a self taught artist :)
Hey! This was awesome. I recently moved from nyc to San Francisco. What camera did you use to film this and what’s your instagram?
Thank you so much! I hope San Francisco is treating you well :) I'm still getting my instagram up and running, IG is so much harder for me than youtube... not sure why!!
But I used the sony zv1 as my camera for all my filming!
