Thanks, Karen. A lot of the video ideas are lessons for mg local painting course. After a few years I thought of turning them into a video as well, so more people could enjoy painting like this. It works, as you notice. Albert

The painting at 11:37 is stunning. What beautiful lines and movement between the red and black. It reminds me of jazz music. 11:37

@@ImperfectPaintings I’d like to try this charcoal technique. Does the finished art need to be sprayed with a fixative to prevent smudging?

Good question, Steven. I didn't. But it sounds like a good idea. It also depends on what you will do with it. In case you frame it, you don't touch it anymore. In case you just want the experience and don't want to hang onto what you make, you don't. Check the website or channel of Dan Tirels, the inspiration source. He will probably have the best answer. Hope this helps. Albert

Hi Rebecca, yes I love him and his work too. What i find so fascinating is that he has a very narrow field of options, or he limited himself and he shows so much creativity on that little spot. Marvelous.

You are so inspiring!

You are such a great teacher! Every time I watch your videos I get the desire to go and play with paint. This exercise: Simple abstract etc. is very freeing and inspiring. I suggest, if I may, to use black oil pastel instead of charcoal just to avoid the mess and create a r 'resist' effect. Thank you again :)

Albert love this exercise how do you make your templates so neat how do you do the cutting out?

@ImperfectPaintings

3 жыл бұрын

Hi TJ, it's a matter of measuring and calculating. So how many squares do you want, how much space in between and for the borders. Than draw all the squares on one sheet, cut them out, a sharp hobby knife and a metal ruler worked best for me. When finished you have a template with holes to put over a second sheet and draw the squares. Keep the template for later use. I believe I made three or four different ones for my painting course so they could choose and create different artwork. Because I'm not good with numbers I messed up once or twice 😉 Take an hour to make one. Hope this helps. Albert
