This week we have shocked ourselves, looking back, at just how much we managed to do - it really does defy belief and if you watch the whole video, you'll see why!
First up is a mega-load for the van - our largest ever client visit where we take out 16 huge paintings for them to see. Imagine how long that takes to wrap and load? Then we arrive with our clients and completely take over their home for the day.
After all that we then have to unload everything again the next day! That's also a day when we have to go and pick up a HUGE crate for a painting we send to Norway - it's one of the most ambitious crate deliveries we've done and requires a lot of specialist construction and logistics - but it's worth it when you see the painting! And all this on a day when we are prepping for a live stream too!
That came out amazingly well and you can see the whole stream here ( • I used a GIANT SQUEEGE... ) and the finished painting here (www.swarez.co.uk/modern-art-p....
Then we hot the MEGA FRIDAY - the day when it all kicked off - paperwork to be done for the crate, the crate collection, a client coming to see their commissioned painting plus... we actually stretch it and deliver it to them within 2 HOURS! Who else can deliver that level of service? I honestly don't know how we did it.
And did mention the splashback samples? Guess what, we also paint bespoke splashback panels too and you can see the samples we sent out to a client for their approval - not something we normally show. You can learn more here: www.swarez.co.uk/painted-kitc...
What a week - even by our high standards!!!
ARE YOU NEW TO THE CHANNEL? Excellent! A big welcome to you. We are LIVE from the studio every Wednesday so why not come and take a look on the next stream? The current link is always available here and we'd love to see you on the next one: www.swarez.co.uk/live-streaming/

Some of your days make me feel exhausted 😀 and I'm not even there! Nicely done. Super awesome to see the level of care you give to clients.
You're very kind Paula - thank you!!!
So nice
Thank you!
I discovered your art in February 2022, and I am mesmerized by your approach to painting abstract art, as I was touring on the idea of doing abstract art as I wanted to explore freedom of expression with a wild abandonment and saw myself doing it your way, and low and behold the universe brought me to your videos. I have dabbled in art in the past but was looking for something different.You have inspired me to get on with it, and find time for fun from working on set as a hairstylist. Thanks for sharing your tips and talent.🙏❤️🇨🇦
I am delighted to hearer that Fina - wow! What a glowing compliment. I am glad you're finding room and head space to get into this. Wishing you a fruitful and enjoyable road ahead. Thanks for supporting us here on the channel :)
I started painting few months ago and has been challenging for me to figure out all the stuff I needed to paint different techniques/styles….I started following you not long ago and you are my inspiration to keep going, thank you so much for sharing!! 💕
Great to hear Yovanna! Wishing you luck on your creative journey!
Very Nice..

When I feel really worn out, I end up watching your videos when you have busy days and then I have to tell myself I'm being too lazy and it's time to get back to work. haha
It's amazing the work y'all get done. Must be all that young energy!! and chiropractors!!🤣
Haha! Yes, and sheer grit and determination (that also helps!). Thanks for your kind words ATFA!!!

Swarez Art the best!
Thanks Nelson!
so beautiful nice painting
Thank you! Cheers!
Dont go away x
I'll stay right here...
I am curious if you would be willing to share the paintings you haven’t sold. I have been watching several of your videos and you mentioned once unsold paintings and as an artist I thought it would be an interesting topic to discuss in a future video.
It's always possible Shawn; I haven't considered that before. i shall discuss with Ady! Thanks for the suggestion.
God bless u 🙏
Thank you!
With everything else you do Ed, I’ve often wondered when you have time to PAINT???
Haha! There's always time to paint Lynn!
Wood sculpture ? Did I see a wood sculpture…? I love wood scriptures too💕
They are metal Mari but yes, you saw sculptures!! www.swarez.co.uk/shop/metal-sculpture/
Can I ask... Do you varnish/gloss your pieces to finish or rely on medium mixed into your paints before you go to work on canvas? Love your videos. Thank you.
Thank you! I have the gloss built into the paint at source, as you eluded to!
@@SwarezArt appreciate you. Beautiful work.
Hi, do you stretch your own large canvases? I know how to do it, but it takes a lot of time to do it, I did nine in one day before I got tired once. Or do you buy them stretched?
Okay, no worries (saw your other comment). Let me know if you need more help...
Oh I asked that question too early I see now
No worries! I have done four in a day before now - but that's my limit.
Hi Ed, I was just wondering do you always ship your paintings to overseas clients in crates,....or do clients have any other option as this this would be a costly exercise to some...I have seen some Artists roll up the painting protected in bubble wrap or other material and shipped it in some kind of a rigid plastic tube and it's up to the the client to have it stretched it on the other end... is this something you also do,
or don't like to for different reasons....By the way love your work
Hello there! Thanks for the feedback and for the great question. The answer is - all of the above! The shipping and packing method very much depend son the painting and the client. In this video there was no way we could remove it from the frame to roll as the paint was too thick. So I worked with the client on a shipping rate that we were both okay with. In the past we have rolled into a rigid tube and packed the bars through the middle as this has a lower financial impact for the client. But not everyone wants to worry about the processes at the other end so it is very much down to the individual and what they want to do. We always try to make the impact as low as possible for everyone. Hope that helps!
@@SwarezArt Thank you Ed for the reply....Well done and continue with the good work...Cheers
@@cassprisskids1877 no worries!
Thanks for the upload.
Which International Postal Service do you use? If I can ask?
Or which one would you recommend? Thanks.
Ho Tod. I don't use any single courier network by default. i asses each client individually and then pick a service that fits their needs accordingly. Comparison sites can be a very good way to see rates and services from multiple carriers at once. Hope that helps...
@@SwarezArt Ok thanks for the quick reply and explanation. Keep up the great work and congrats. What you do is incredibly helpful for other artists, to look in the "kitchen" and see how things are done. Specially in showing that being an artist is not only painting but there is much more behind.
@@Tod_oMal Thanks Tod - you are very welcome!
Can you do a video about building the frame and stretching the canvas? Please?! 🙏😘
Absolutely!! Here you go: ua-cam.com/video/c9FNKQEi7Aw/v-deo.html
@@SwarezArt thank you very much! I have to catch up with all of your videos because I'm learning so many new things!!!
@@stephaniel8164 that's great to hear!
Love that you had a shot of the TV with a test match 🏏 going on!! 🤩🤩 Who's playing??
Where was that ?? Give us the timestamp 👍👍
-19:39 to -19:36. It's test match - can make out from the cricket whites.
@@panderichthys_rhombolepis at that timestamp I just get the logo at the end?
@@SwarezArt The way the latest version of the You Tube app has been set up is that the time is reported as being from 'X' to 'Y' _from the start_ of the video'. Reported this way, the time is presented with a 'minus' or 'negative' ('-') notation before the number.
Ex., if any point, let's say 'A', is 'X' seconds, it means that A is 'X' sec _from the start of_ the video/A is 'X' seconds _into the video_ .
It is follows the algebraic notation so to speak.
So if I had to convert the numbers I mentioned into the old reporting notation, the relevant section of the video would be from (19:49 - 19:36 = 00:13)secs to (19:49 -19:39 = 00:10)secs.
Trust this makes sense.
@@panderichthys_rhombolepis I do understand yes! And I see the clip you refer to now - at the intro segment at the start. Yes, I think it was on the TV at the client's house when we arrived but not sure who was playng that day or where from!
SWAREZ, BOA TARDE, MENINO VISUALIZEI O SEU TRABALHO HOJE PELA PRIMEIRA VEZ, RAPAZ(BOY), SUAS OBRAS SÃO TUDO DE BOM.
PARABÉNS.
Ah! Someone else seems to have thought your name was Portuguese! (I did too!)
Muito obrigado mesmo!
Question, do you cut up a painting for clients very often? That would tear me apart.
Only occasionally - this client had a particular size in mind but the technique required a 3m wide canvas regardless - so definitely not the norm!!
How perfect the artwork looked in its space at the end?!
Indeed! And more to come next week from this client too!
it's Amazing, how much?
Thanks Freweyni - it's called 'Tranquility Base' and measures 190cm x 190cm. Cost is £4750 GBP. You can read more about it here: www.swarez.co.uk/modern-art-paintings-for-sale/tranquility-base/
Do ur paintings mean sth or its usually usually just for aesthetics
Everything has a purpose and a back story - this is the one in the thumbnail for example (Tranquility Base): www.swarez.co.uk/modern-art-paintings-for-sale/tranquility-base/
What did they pay for those paintings,each?
You can see all the pricing for all my current paintings here: www.swarez.co.uk/modern-art-paintings-for-sale/ I don't think it's right to share details of a transaction with a client on an open forum - I'm sure you can appreciate that
Pls I need your advice
I practice in paper collage and pen pointillism
I also have interest in inking ,
So I don't know if it's wise having just one account like on Instagram, for all that different mediums, or, I should create different accounts for the mediums. Pls I'm confused on what to do sir Suarez.
One account Harry - people will get to know you as a person then rather than risk diluting that into four different directions...
@@SwarezArt thanks so much, one more thing
I ain't got a website yet, so it's really difficult for me selling my art
Are there any recommendations like other platforms to sell.
Can't afford a website now.
Don't you think having one account on Instagram will kind of confuse future audience on what exactly my artwork is really about and what they should expect of me in future
@@hkvalues01 no, hence my answer! if you are a multi-discipline creative then show that off - use hashtags wisely and develop an audience. Time, patience and consistency - they are key. It doesn't happen quickly I'm afraid. Selling platforms? Anything you can upload too! I don't sell from anything exept my website which is central to everything. Try mailing every interior designer you can find!!! Anything like this is worth a try...
@@SwarezArt that was really helpful sir
Thanks so much 👍
I apologize if I come across as a critical b*tch…Really!!! I did give you a thumbs up and subscribed to your Chanel though. Let me start off by saying that I do love your works!!!! I’ve scene 1,000’s of painting videos, but it’s difficult for me to focus during your show. When you are conversing with people, I truly would like to see some straight videos with out commutation, within the middle: format, your short introduction, what your aim is, the colors being named, then get to work, showing your quite process, and don’t ever make excuses for anything it’s not necessary, and how does the painting make you feel as your ending conclusion. I don’t care about introductions, by giving your verbal to do list, and only give people glimpse of your other paintings, keep people in suspense. Stop going round and round in your studio have absence of calm in elect, I do like your personality and great one on one only with clients, but to me what keeps me interested is a sense of calm your camera man is all over the place, too frenetic!!! Not good, I don’t know if he’s trying to be artsy but it’s exhausting, my eyes are killing me to continue to the end of your video… really.
Again I do apologize for raining on your parade but this is my truth.
Hi Kim, by all means be critical, we are all unique and thus all have different views on the world. We are but two people and a part time editor, myself and Adrian are the cameramen, sometimes the editors, we are the cleaners, the installers, the drivers, the IT team, and the creators of all the art you see.
We have seen thousands of painting videos as well and hope that what we do is a bit different. Most of our subscribers like what we do. We of course will try and bring more videos where I will paint the art and just do a small explanation as to what will happen, but on the
Wednesday livestreams our fans like us to interact and answer all their questions.
Hopefully you will give us a chance and continue to support us in our journey.
