My birth name is Susanne~Michelle Pampalona, I go by Susanne Pampalona but sign in a symbol of my initials SP. My full name and details of a piece can go on the back or I can also sign my full signature on the top of the canvas where no one will see if it's hanging. I loved this video. I'm still working on the style of the symbol.
Thank you for sharing. I enjoy your research and refreshing delivery style. Love your art and especially those gorgeous blues in the underwater seascape. 🎨
That turquoise painting in the start of the video is beautiful! I’m surprised you considered altering it. I thought it was perfect. I’m new to painting and I found that what I enjoy doing is to create an intricate picture on a canvas then smear and go a bit crazy with my brush to create something even more unique and unexpected.
Another great episode and I love how your summer paintings are coming along. I adore your new colour palette! I am also relieved to learn that I am not alone when obsessing with such-seemingly-tiny details like my signature. I have created already countless versions and I think I may still create more until I settle. . . Also, glad to learn that great artists did not shy away to change their signatures over time-following their personal Zeitgeist. I think, I feel more relaxed knowing I have the liberty to change my signature, until the day I actually decide to settle. Anyways, thanks again for sharing your painting journey and art knowledge with us and cheers to successfully signing another ten finished paintings for the summer exhibition.
common names and where's Waldo😄, love it. Also, I'm so glad you didn't show your successful signature because of forgery. An interesting subject of the furure, perhaps? Some artists also do provide authenticity certificates to go along with the paintings. But the most interesting thing going around is creating digital bar codes. The last bit would be even more interesting if the barcode is invisible🧐. It's too bad that the recording of the painting process didn't pan out, but the result is stunning! Thank you, once again for yet another very informative, helpful and inspiring video.
Great practical advice and interesting history of course! Also your works are looking fab, loving the brighter blue/turquoise. (winge coming up sorry).... but OMG, signature stuff, does my head in! When started with gallery last year, was shy, did my initials (acrylic works). After seeing other artists work, did signature (disaster in acrylic), used charcoal pencil. Now of course I want to do initials again, how unprofessional : (
Durer actually changed his name to create that signature. His real name was Turer. He wanted that name AD for two very specific reasons. 1) Anno Domini. Because he dated every work and was extremely religious, 2) for gateway / doorway. Durer means door. So the journey into that work begins on this day in the year of our lord and whether or not you exit is up to you.
I never buy paintings with a visible signature. I'm cool with a signature barely visible or an entire narcissistic rant on the back or even huge bold descriptive on the sides, but nothing visible on the front. Signatures always, ALWAYS detract from the work. I also hate Signatures because then no one wants to discuss the work or ask who the artist is. They just look and kid themselves that they'll remember who painted it. Then I always get a call weeks later asking who did that one, I forgot. I like to place a card holder near the hanging works with business cards with the artists bio, name, website, etc. That way when guests fancy a work they can pull a card to take with them and we can discuss what thoughts & emotions the works conjure in them.
I've noticed you slope your sig.upwards.I think level is better.Your extra close to the corner.If framed later it may be part hidden. Raise to avoid this. I thin the paint and roll the brush as I load it.This has capacity to apply in one sweep as opposed to three dips.
Completely agree with your reasons for signing. Lovely!

When you get to close the edge it will be covered by a frame. Go up and in from the edge at lease 5/8 inch.
Do you do that if you're using a floating frame as well?
