They Won't Remember: Portrait of a Protest
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- This oil painting is my observation of the interaction between the citizen and the politician in the many protests that have coloured Kenyan streets in recent months, from #EndFemicideKE and #RejectFinanceBill2024 to #RutoMustGo and many others before and since. It measures 120cm by 170cm and took 17 days to create.

Hello, Clavers! Every painting should have some type of meaning behind a great painter with a meaningful painting. This is a beautiful painting! In one of your videos you discussed or explain the five shades of colors and you mentioned the five shades of colors in this video. I said to myself that I will need to practice the five shades of colors. I noticed the different types of brushes that you use to smooth out the painting (small round brush and a medium round brush). I'm going to practice doing that as well (that's neat). You are a great teacher! 🙏🏾❤️🖌️🎨
Wow, thanks Sharon, and good to know you'll be trying out my methods as well :) For the smoothing effect, old/used flat brushes do it best (or rather brushes that used to be flat when they were new). Round brushes can so it too, but they typically have pointed/tipped bristles which you kinda have to work around. Anyway, enjoy!
@@ClaversOdhiambo Good morning, Clavers! Thank you for the information. I don't know how to paint people, but one day I will try. The smooth techniques is what I need to get down first and the five shades of colors. Thank you! 🙏🏾❤️🎨🖌️
Another awesome painting, I love the blurry outside scene through the windows ,the message one can depict from the whole painting and the details everywhere on the canvas are on point. In a nutshell another dope painting ,keep inspiring. Perfect time to post this with all thats going on. Artists are revolutionarists🔥🔥

You are 1 of my favorite artists. Thank you for sharing your wonderful skills and amazing art. Commenting from the USA . Much 🫶🏿 ✌🏿
Thank you :) that's good to hear
What a piece
Great painting. I just started using the "lazy grid" method myself. I used to hate the grid to tracing process now I love it! The game of trying to get things as precise as possible is just that, a game worth playing for me. Have fun with it and glad your painting has a voice in reference to the protests. Glad you made it work without physical/live references and posing.
Thanks. Yeah there are many ways to nail proportions but I find that the grid comes in handy more and more the bigger the painting gets.
Potent message
Good morning, Slavers! Another wonderful painting! The history or story behind y'all painting was good information and why you wanted to paint this picture. How can we get the information or survey to fill out about what we would like to know or learn about your techniques? In this video, I knew you used chalk, but I didn't know you could use water to get rid of the chalk and over the oil paint after it dry. Every time I watch your video, I learn something new. You are a great teacher or an instructor. Great job!
Thanks Sharon, let me know what you'd like to learn via this link forms.gle/gyHTLM2oopQrSHU16
