  • I am busy. And I like it. Being busy for me means producing, working, meeting people, sketching, creating, being on the road. So there is not much time left for thinking. And in my opinion that's good for an artist. We have our thoughts, they come and go. But while we are at work we don't listen to our thoughts. We are being aware of what's happening.

    I am a watercolor student and wanted to thank you for your videos. They are deeper than tutorials, and have taught me to solve problems and not just copy solutions of others. Talking about paying for talent with daily discipline has also been very helpful. Thank you again for encouraging many of our journeys.

    Once again a mesmerizing hour with you. If I had seen your paintings 30 or 40 years ago I might have felt a need to compete. Now? I just relax and enjoy the show. Too old to compete. ❤

    Being alone with our thoughts or thoughts about the scene being painted is a great joy. Thanks for reaffirming that in your words, at times I can get afflicted with the thought that I should be doing more & in that I lose the present moment. Love this video!🫶

    So nice to get this intimate visit to your country, gives a feeling of what it’s really like to be there. I love it when you go out and about just doing everyday things and then just feeling like I’m just sitting watching you go about your painting.

    I think your project to film 10 sessions with other artist will be insightful and playful. I love your channel because it is revealing the daily life of an artist without hype. For me, art is a hobby and trying to envision the daily lifestyle of artist is speculative. It would be like you trying to understand my life as an engineer. I can only fantasize what it would be life to be an artist, which I sometimes do. Now that I have retired from one life, I have opportunity for another - but lack the energy right now. Maybe one day I will spend more time in your world.

    Your videos are a bit of therapy for me. I have a new neighbor who has moved from Amsterdam to a small dot on the planet, Salt Lake City, Utah. They are renting a house across the street. It's winter now, so not much getting to know other than introduction. I'll ask if he's an artist. ❤

    My sketch buddies and I had our usual Sunday Urban Sketching meet up last weekend (we're in North-East England), and by the end I couldn't feel my fingers 😅. Got 2 sketches done though, in an hour and a half. When I went sketching in Amsterdam last March, I really felt I'd 'arrived' as an Urban Sketcher... what a buzz!!

    Скъпи Titus, наистина интересно беше миналото видео, когато си рисувахте портрети с твоята колега . Но аз си обичам моментите, когато рисуваш в ателието си. Обичам също да слушам размислите ти и да гледам умното ти лице, което не зная защо ми е толкова близко. Очарована съм от твоите почти ренесансови видеа, от животът, който придаваш с всеки щрих. Красиво е, наистина.

    I come to this channel looking for conversations I would like to have while I'm in my studio as if I was working with a fellow artist, each of us in their project, sometimes sharing thoughts and opinions. These (to me) fundamental conversations about art, art life, inspiration, and work are very valuable. And, while I'm looking forward to the next discussion, I would like to ask you what, in your opinion, is good art? What has to have in order to provoke you to say, "That's it, this is good art" (about your art or others).

    • @TitusMeeuws
      @TitusMeeuws  5 місяців тому

      Hi, that queation is maybe the most essential. The answer should be simple; Everything that touches you deeply, without words, can we say that's the power of art?
