I have just picked up rf oil sticks and have taken a workshop. I love your style and look forward to your series.

Looking forward to seeing your lessons, but I don’t think I’ll be able to get my hands on oil sticks. I do have pastels and acrylics, so will try to follow along as best I can.

I recently discovered your channel on youtube and wanted to say how helpful and inspiring your work is! Thank you so much for sharing!🙌🏻

Thanks! I am looking forward to your next videos.

Looking forward to the future step-by-step, as well as just seeing more of your finished artwork. I've got art supplies all ready to try to "mimic", but sometimes art seems to be about buying art supplies ... I remember Bob Ross and trying get all of that stuff. Thanks for sharing! ☮

As a self taught artist putting myself through “TH-cam Art School”, you are one of my favorite instructors. Thank you for taking the time and effort to share your process with us.

Worthwhile video. Years ago I consulted on a book for the U.S. paint industry. Just as an FYI regarding oil colors/paints. Pigments such as the true cobalts, cadmiums, and even the Lead based gesso. They are not absorbed into the skin. The precautions that should be taken would be not to smoke or eat while working and before thoroughly washing the hands. You also would not want to sand any such pigments creating fine airborne dust that could potentially be breathed in. Simple skin contact, you are safe. Also folks should remember that colors like Cadmium Red Hue or Cobalt Blue Hue are not actual Cadmium or Cobalt containing pigments. Also "odorless" solvents still vaporize or evaporate into the air. They just do it in a less noticeable (smelly) manner. So you still need adequate ventilation. Looking forward to your next video.

❤ Thanks for sharing.

I am totally blown away Armon. Your pieces feel like living breathing entities. Not overworked to me at all, but bold bursts of feeling. So original. Many thanks.

Brilliant input Armen !! Thanks !! LOve your work,style and process !! I’ll be back !! 😊

I’m new to your channel but I’m struck by your (what I call) intuition and fearlessness! I just subbed! Thank you for your inspiration and generosity and especially your talent! You seem so fearless. 🙏🏼

Great lesson Armen and look forward to those that are to come. Thank you.

nice idea...

great work!

Genious!❤

I really like your style, its so unique.

Nice choice of music for this art piece ❤

I've watched all of your videos. I hope everybody will do the same. Love your constant creative experimentation. I think you've discovered a perfect way to speed your work up a bit without any compromise in the quality of your work. Right now my 3rd floor studio with a clay tile roof is as hot as a brick oven & I'm hoping the temperature cools down a bit soon so I can get back to work. Stay Safe...all who read this. 😁👍

Beautiful. I like that you did close ups. 😊

❤❤❤❤

Armen, these new pieces are incredible. The layering and marks and stunning. I landed on your channel and decided to try the oil sticks and R&F blending and thoroughly enjoyed myself while creating, but since this is my first time with any oils, I guess I wasn't prepared for the smell and how slow drying it can be to work with. Can you tell me if a fixitive spray would help with both issues? I think the smell bothers me much more. I create in a small apartment and after one attempt, I don't think I can continue to use these mediums if there is nothing to do about the aroma, but it is fun to use and the depth of color is beautiful, just as you show in your works.

They look great! How do you apply charcoal and then put a glaze over that without the charcoal smearing?

Talented and sexy.

Are these the paintings that started with the cardboard brushes?

Can’t wait to see where these paintings go next!

OHHHH ITS GONNA LOOK SO GOOD!! Keep it up!

are these oil pastels or chalk pastels?

❤ I learned so much just observing, thank you so much! I’m a complete beginner. I’m also a new FAN! You’re quite wonderful. ❤

What an amazing colors!! Beautiful work and you have so much patience. I was wondering though, do you clean your hands at all between switching colours? I noticed you have no smudging whatsoever!! Love your videos!!

Fascinating and inspirational. Thank you!

Really great and new new new!

Very good idea and I liked that the idea executed well. I never thought of using a house paint for a base layer to put down a design. I liked that it is high gloss and everything can just slide over it. I use the cheapest baby wipes to remove paint that hasn't dried to a surface. Using one of those wipes where there is the black gloss underneath might give it a nice effect. Great video.

Nice video. You might want to try experimenting with KILZ primer. Fantastic adhesion. Tints very nicely with acrylic colors. Sands easily and its extremely inert & its dead flat so your oil pastels and other pigment sticks will really have a great surface to grab onto.

Yes! Always be open to the possibility of creation. Thanks for sharing your process, really resonated as ive used clays, soils and cow manure to create works. Its all colour after all. All the best from New Zealand

Thanks for the very useful info...living in Nicaragua, not easy to get art supplies. New to your channel and enjoying it😊 Some of my art looks similar to some of yours eventhough strictly oil/ brush/occasional knife painter. Enjoy your day❤

Stunning abstract.

I am new to your channel and work and adore it. . I currently use acrylic paints from Nova or Golden .Can you please tell me the brand of oil pastels and bars you use? Any suggestions would be so appreciated. Thank you. ❤

Art like life. Abstract realism is today. Keep the beauty coming. We need more beauty and love

I like the mixture of colors, you have a unique style. One thing is the space that i noticed ........ The artist's work reflects his environment or his life experience. I often say : you have to release and sort to create.

Love your style! Beautiful ❤

I very much like the templates you made. Nice that you will be able to play off of the shapes in many different variations. I noticed in your other video, but even moreso now that it is shellacked, the honeycomb piece when it is on its side at the 35:09 mark, looks like the jagged rock walls you showed in your New Mexico video. After having the shellac on it, the light and dark of the edges are more pronounced and remind me of the canyon wall. Looking forward to more videos and hope you get finished and in the gallery soon.

Thank you for the inspiration! Love your vibrant color

Ingenious ideas!!! Wow!

I love them all, looks like fun.. helps to give me the itch to start something.. I have this fear of messing up but u have encouraged me to just let go... r these water color or acrylic..? thank u 😊 Have a nice night🌙

You have introduced me to products I have never heard of before. Thank you for the lesson.

The crucible of decisions molds the work, yes. Your deconstruction and reconstruction of the fractals results in fine art indeed. Bravo.

So beautiful Armen!

Very nice work.

Your works are stunning. Belissimo.

Love these brilliant colors and technique!!!
