I hope this inspires you to start your next painting today 😀 btw the demo begins at 04:43 if you want to skip ahead.
Malcolm, such wise advice. Many people waste their money on all sorts of things , with nothing to show for it; painting can bring joy to others, and ones self, I think it is a great bargain.
Thanks Terrie, exactly.
I have the exact same mindset; use what you have, even reuse things, to not be wasteful because I appreciate every little thing I am able to enjoy!
So true!
As always you’re so good at inspiring and encouraging us, as though you know how a lot of us are feeling, whether about what’s happening around us or our art. And this beautiful little picture makes ME happy as well as you! Keep up the good work Malcolm👏😊
I'm happy to hear that Nicky, thank you.
YOU CERTAINLY HAVE A WAY OF ENCOURAGING THE BEGINNING AND UNEXPERIENCED PAINTER. THIS FUN PROJECT WAS JUST WHAT I NEEDED AFTER A DAY OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO. I THINK I WILL JUST TRY THIS TOMORROW. I WOULD NEVER SKIP AHEAD TO THE BEGINNING OF HE DEMO BECAUSE WHAT IS BEING SAID BEFORE IS FOR SURE SOMETHING I NEED TO HEAR. MANY THANKS FOR ALL THE VIDEOS YOU MAKE AND THE TIME AND EFFORT YOU GIVE US ALL! YOU ARE AMAZING AND GENEROUS!
Thank you Linda, enjoy your painting.!
I'm so glad that I found you. I'm a student of sociology and I don't want to put pressure while painting, I just want to spend some time with colors. I can't make people understand the fact that it's not about perfection, it's about happiness.
Exactly 💯
Malcolm, I am so happy I ran across your UA-cam account. I am enjoying your style and your comments are very useful to me. I very much enjoy impressionist painting and had no idea where or how to start. Now that I see how this is done, I am excited to try a little painting of my own. Thank you for your thoughtful presentations. I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
Thank you, it's a pleasure
Love your philosophy about doing just something everyday.
Thank you!
your calming nature itself is an inspiration.. thankyou for boosting us
😊 Thank you!
As usual, you have nuggets of wisdom, from the theoretical to the practical. Thanks for sharing your insight
Much appreciated, thank you
That is truly brilliant 💜💜💜 I love the way you are able to put wet paint on wet without it blending and turning muddy .
Thank you very much.
I love everything about this video. You are very inspirational. The small painting you created was wonderful. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and knowledge.
Thank you Sean! Very kind of you.
Another great demonstration/painting Malcolm.
Luv the composition/scene too.
The guidance you impart in the video relating to painting practices is much appreciated.
Many thanks
These small, quick and loose studies are my favorite of your videos. So much information packed into a small exercise is easy to grasp. Thank you!
Excellent, more to come soon.
@@MalcolmDewey Awesome! 🎨🖌
Loose and disciplined. Difficult combo but you show it is well worth a try.
Timely advice, thank you Malcolm. Although I fed up everybody around with my weird creativity, the financial part is really essential for many of us. Thanks to your courses and inspiring videos, the members of live community are really creative and fast progressing. I hope this video will help many "hidden" artists to unleash their creativity despite all hurdles. Painting makes us happier!
Well said!
Thank you, thank you!! Use what I have! YES!!
Perfect!
Thanks Malcolm, I was not going to paint tonight until I watched the video and got inspired and got back to painting.
That's what I like to hear!
Listening to you gives me confidence to continue on in my creative journey, and brings great enjoyment to my life.🎨😸
Thatk you very much Terrie!
U’re painting 💎 jewels..
Amazing brush strokes
Clean shiny colors
Thks so much 4 sharing
Thank you!
True. Thanks. Stay blessed.
Such a happy sun lit path ! Thank you NM USA
Thank you too!
I just love the way you paint and teach! Thank you so much for your time. 💕
You are so welcome!
Thank you for your encouragement, Malcolm. ☺ Blessings from Ottawa! 🍁
Thank you too!
Always uplifting and inspiring, Malcolm. Thanks for a wonderful lesson!
It's a pleasure, thank you.
You are so kind to take the time to help, encourage, snd inspire us. It really is so wonderful.
It's a pleasure, thank you.
Very good suggestions Malcolm and the small demo is inspiring. Thank You.
Thank you !
Fabulous. Watching from South Africa. Thanks.
Thankyou 😊
This is a great idea, good to know. Thx for the method clearly stated. You are solving some of the financial problems associated with taking painting classes.
Glad it was helpful!
WHAT an appealing video! I’m trying to return to painting and this would be a great way to do it. I tend to bog down with large difficult works after a time away. Now I will be free to paint and this would be a wonderful way back. I really like painting on gessoed high quality paper and have a bud sketch book prepared just for that. Thanks. I really love your work.?It makes me happy too.
Go for it Elisabeth! Thanks for watching.
Thank you so much for this - I’ve had so much stress lately and keep waiting for that to diminish to get back to my art. It’s also like exercise - hard to start (prep work) but once you do start it pays off so just do it…..you’re a great teacher!
Thank you, happy to help Chris.
Thank you, Malcolm! Great advice and you proved it could be done!
Glad it was helpful!
So pretty! Thank you, Malcolm. I am seriously working on my brushstrokes and clear colour notes at this stage! These videos are really helpful. Your courses and the videos not only giving us the fundamental knowledge, but a lot of creativity and life wisdom ❤🙏
Thank you so much Nataly!
Hello Malcolm and thank you for producing these brilliant videos. I love your honest approach, you are a man after my own heart. You have helped me in my understanding of water mixable oil paints. I will be trying them out in the near future, take care and thanks again.
Thank you Fred, glad you like the channel!
This is such a good idea. I always liked to paint on small surfaces sort of minatures. But the problem still remains, Its the mixing of the proper colors and keep them clean and brilliant.
It's always a challenge, loose and controlled 😊
Hi Malcolm. You are really so inspiring! I would recommend your videos to anyone feeling down and discouraged. I cant wait to delve into my box of off-cuts and other stuff which I was keeping in the hope that my grandchildren might be able to use them!
That's the spirit of creating and having fun too 💯
You had me at "...of course, mainstream media, it's currency is fear, uncertainty, and doubt..."
Then you started talking about inflation. Now we're friends.
Nailed it. There are rather subtle ways that someone can let us know who he is. Delighted to find your channel. Subbed from the USA.
lol ... its a small world after all 😉
@@MalcolmDewey I really enjoy your videos. I am struggling quite a bit, and I truly do think that the culprit is the news and the generally poor state of the world and impending new lockdowns, which I am not looking forward to.
Stay safe down there in SA and thanks for all of your effort and words of wisdom, Malcom.
@@vaughnblaylock6069 Thanks, same to you Vaughn
I like it a lot.
I love your style, it's like witchcraft how the picture comes together.
Thanks Jon, it's my magic wand 😇
@@MalcolmDewey hehe, wonderful to see, I always look forward to a new video from you 😁
I just discovered your channel. I have so very much enjoyed your videos. Your approach and philosophy to painting is encouraging and uplifting. Love the idea of using what you have. Thanks for not speeding up the videos as so many tutorials do. I look forward to trying your method and will continue to watch. You brighten my day!
Thank you Linda, that is great to hear.
You are a great artist n a wonderful teacher 👍
Thank you 😊
Wow! Another little masterpiece, so inspiring. Thank you x
Thank you so much!
Thanks Malcolm, much needed encouragement.
Excellent, thanks Chris
Well done, sir.
Hello Malcolm, excellent advice. Thank you 👍👍👍
Excellent, thank you 😊
Another very encourging video! Thank you very much.
Thank you very much!
So Great!
😊
💯!
Sooo Inspirational...🤗🤗
Thank you Estelle!
Thank you Malcom. Beautiful and very inspiring. I don’t know, how i missed this video earlier
Thank you Kamlesh 😊
Thank you!!!
You're welcome!
Very timely, feeling uninspired, thanks for this video👩🎨
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you❤❤🙏🙏
It's a pleasure! Thank you
Right, don't get stuck in details! You loose the life, spirit and your own expression. Mostly, need to "be there".
Exactly
Very impressive. Never thought of using water painting paper scraps with oil.
Quick and easy.
Hope you'll do more watercolor videos!
Definitely!!
Thank you🎨❤👍
You're welcome 😊
@@MalcolmDewey ❤
Thank you again for producing such informative content.
I definitely qualify as a FUDDY DUDDY! 😜
Your artwork is beautiful btw.
My pleasure! 😄
Thanks Malcolm. I enjoy your videos and demos very much. I have been working in acrylics and was wondering if, in your opinion, I should invest in oils in order to progress.
Thank you, yes I do think oils are a natural progression. Water mixable oils may be easier but oils offer so much.
Good subject. Thought provoking. Also would appreciate more gouache.
Thank you, there's a new gouache demo today 🙂
Hi Malcolm! Tracey here from Australia. Thanks for the last couple of videos. I’ve been doing the sprints to institute the discipline of painting every day and have loved the variety of outcomes. Just wanted to ask about why a coloured background makes a difference when you can’t see any of it at the end of the painting and if choice of colours are purposeful? Blessings to you and your family
Thank you. The background tone can be exposed intentionally with some techniques. Other times it's just to get rid of the white surface. My painting approach usually covers it all, but sometimes bits show through. What happens, happens 😊
Lovely. I am reminded of a man in my senior center (a year ago) who painted with instant coffee, cigarette ashes, whatever was in front of him. He would prick his hand for blood if he needed red. Another guy I know does huge beautiful chalk drawings on sidewalks in the park. What minimum supplies can do!
When you have to create 😎
I really appreciate your content & your wonderful voice as well!! You have such insight and inspiration, your manner is soothing and inspiring, thank you so much ! Straight out of Central Crasting, too❣🤗
malcolm, do you use mediums and paint thinner when painting or do you just use plain paint?
No mediums. But a little white spirits in the beginning to loosen up the composition layer. Very little.
Hi
I have started practising your course from Udemy how to loosen up your painting n also uploaded a tried painting of mine can u please give feedback on that
I also enjoyed ur all demonstration n ur style of painting
Thank you
How do you decide what color to use as a base coat?
There is no real formula to it. I prefer a warm base for landscapes like burnt sienna. But others use a neutral grayish color and that works too. If you want the base to show through then color temperature is more important.
Hello Malcolm I hope you are well. Can you please tell me if you are using water mixable oil paints in place of oil paint?
I am testing Georgian water mixable at the moment. But I still have a lot of regular oils so have not given them up.
How long does it take to dry your oil paintings? And where do you put them all to dry? That's what puts me off.
Takes about two weeks in our warm climate. They stand on shelves, bookcases - yes you can make racks etc too. Store carefully after drying too 😊
@@MalcolmDewey Thank you :)
Is Malcolm the new Laurens Van Der Post (as long as Im not making some form of political gaff here!)?
Spirituality & the paintbrush- more needed!
Love Van Der Post, but you give me way too much credit. Thank you though.
Thank you…. Time to trash the FUD
I got fud
😆
Thank you for sharing this encouraging video Malcolm!
My pleasure!
