This is really great. I live by the ocean so will be giving these techniques a go. I can see it improving my play especially in the area of shading. Thanks so much!
Thank you, Rebecca! I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Living by the ocean sounds like the perfect inspiration for creating. Have fun experimenting with the techniques and shading!
I really like this painting, and the shells do look like they're right down in the sand. I like watching your abstract painting videos, its a genre that I don't have a lot of confidence doing, and it gets me out of my comfort zone, but I also like representational too obviously because that's my comfort area. So I'll soak up the information watching whatever you demonstrate. Thank you as always you get our creative mojo working. Cheers!
@@chrisloudart well, a sprinkling is good, I'm an info nerd so I make use of most stuff I absorb into the grey matter. Although at times, well ok most of the time it's pretty hard to wiggle it into general conversation😄😊 Oh you'd like an example, well.. a huntsman spider can do a 360 degree turn and run up your trouser leg before you can blink, sadly they only live for 2 years. The males and females cohabitate quite happily, the female doesn't kill the male and they even court each other before they mate. Females will nest near other females and they will babysit each other's babies while they go out hunting for food. Luckily they prefer not to run up trouser legs, but it is hard not to scream when one the size of your hand crawls out from under the steering wheel whilst you're driving. They are not venomous but if they do get really p.... Off they will bite and it hurts, but that's not a common thing they're nervous but chilled. There now do you feel more enlightened for knowing all that😆😆😆😆 now you try and wiggle that into a conversation.😆😆😆. I always look forward to the next video you make, so until then take care and laugh a lot. Cheers!
I like spiders, but I've seen images and videos of huntsman spiders and I have to say if one ran up my leg or crawled out from anywhere when I was driving, I would go into full panic mode. 😂😂😂 Just got back from a family vacation and am eager to get back to painting. Cheers!
@@chrisloudart I hope you had a wonderful time away with family, and I look forward to another video coming my way. The kitchen cupboards are going in today in mums little house, its all indoor work now, which is just as well because it's wet and windy here. Ceilings up most walls are up they should be finished today. Ceilings have been painted, and this week the boards should go onto the verandah, its count down now, they have less than 20 days left on their extended time, I had a word to them because things were just grinding on slowly. So I had a word and they agreed luckily, and the work has quickened which is good. How about a checkered design in painting it could be interesting or really terrible? Cheers!
Chris!! Like it? No love it! 👏👏👏 My mind is spinning on how I could use some of my shark teeth from the beach in a painting Love you show your process of both abstract and representative art You are a master at depth (said it before but will say it again 😊) Ty!
Really great piece. I like the plasticity of the waves and foam. Has a really realistic and dimensional look. 👍🏼😊 Anyways, as great as this piece looks and I really like it. Wish I could do it that well!!! But I still love your abstract art more. 🙂👍🏼👍🏼
Very inventive as always, Chris. I like the simplicity of the adventure and the strongly evocative result. I have never tried using 3 d objects in any of my paintings yet... some resistance to overcome in me😊. Thank you, and enjoy the summertime
Hey Emmanuel! Thank you so much 😊 I don't use 3D items that often, but I enjoy the challenge when I do. It definitely works a different area of creativity. I bet you're happy to be on summer break! Any big plans?
Hey Kate! Thank you 😊 Oh, yes, I'm sure you have loads of shells. I'm still quite a novice with gelli plate art, however, one of my plans this summer is to put more focus into it. So hopefully I will have a video soon😊
Chris- I often hear you mention using "Windsor blue" in many of your paintings. Is the Windsor blue you are talking about Phthalo blue? And if yes, do you use phthalo blue red shade or green shade?
Hey Ann, Winsor blue just has the PB15 pigment and is similar to phthalo blue. I've seen Winsor blue called phthalo blue on some websites, but it does not have the PG7 (phthalo green) pigment like phthalo blue (PB15 & PG7) has. This webpage may help - www.winsornewton.com/na/paint/acrylic/galeria-acrylic/ If you click on Winsor blue and Phthalo blue it shows the pigment difference. I hope that helps.
@@chrisloudart Ah, ok it is an actual color all it's own and in the Galeria Acrylics line-Thanks again Chris! (I could not locate it in my searches- it may have helped if I spelled it correctly)
i am a fan of your abstracts paintings
Thanks for your feedback! 😊
I love this piece.
You make it look so easy to create.
Thank you so much! 😊❤️
I really love both your abstract and representational paintings. This one turned out fantastic! Lots of good tips here.
Thanks so much, Ann!❤️
That was so interesting! And very different to your usual work but yet very inspiring! Thank you !
Thanks, Msand! It's definitely different than what I normally do. 😊

I like that idea, Thanks Chris I'll have a go with Collage shells 😊
@@cheryldobbinson1994 Thanks, Cheryl! Collage shells are a great alternative!😊

Thanks so much, Howling! I'll probably stick to more of the abstracts and throw a sprinkling of representational in now and then. Cheers!

Ty!
Thanks so much, Kelly! Ooh, sharks teeth would be a lot of fun I would think! I'm excited to see what you do with them. 😊👍
Really great piece. I like the plasticity of the waves and foam. Has a really realistic and dimensional look. 👍🏼😊
Anyways, as great as this piece looks and I really like it. Wish I could do it that well!!!
But I still love your abstract art more. 🙂👍🏼👍🏼
Thanks, Thomas! I appreciate your feedback.
I’m starting to lean toward abstract realism.
Hey Katy! Abstract realism is a great way to go, especially when moving from representational art to abstract.
Thank you ! Your paintings are so inspirational.💙 may we have more seascapes please 🌊
Thank you so much! I'll add more to my list🙂

@@chrisloudart no big plans, a few big canvasses!👍😅👍
Hi Chris, really like this and Im in Florida and believe me I have shells. Lol. Curious could you do some gelli plate stuff Id love to see your style.
Hey Kate! Thank you 😊 Oh, yes, I'm sure you have loads of shells. I'm still quite a novice with gelli plate art, however, one of my plans this summer is to put more focus into it. So hopefully I will have a video soon😊
