Now, that's an interesting idea! :-)

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you so much 😀

Hi Bruce, Because it is gloss paint it forms a skin on the surface quite quickly (around a week) and then it's dependent on the paint used. Thicker ones are usually completely dry and good to hang in about a month. The more liquidy paints take a lot longer - possibly 3 - 6 months. Best, Jim

@@AbstractOrkney wow it takes a lot of patience

@@BruceMyers-ov3dg Oh, yes. 🙂

Thank you so much 😀

Thank you! :-)

Thank you for watching and taking the time to provide feedback. I am genuinely ambivalent about the ghost technique and your thoughts help greatly to further process my own.

@@AbstractOrkney Understood, I'm an experimenter with techniques too, unless one tries one will never know, and when an experiment works it's such a joy😊

@@RooftopArts-ve5zb Thank you for sharing and for your kind words. 🙂

Thank you for your feedback.

Ah, Thank you.

It's a wonderful opportunity and I'm truly grateful. :-)

Thank you! 😁

Maybe one day!

Thank you.

Wow! Please could you email me at AbstractOrkney@europe.com. Best, Jim

Thank you. :-)

Thank you, too.

Thank you

Good question. The paint colours are so vibrant - is the answer. However, they are also durable, robust, and easy to work with.

@@AbstractOrkney Thank you. Vibrant like his work.

Ah, that's wonderful to hear. Thank you for your kind and generous words. That's made my day! :-)

Thank you

Grazie mille per le tue parole di incoraggiamento estremamente gentili e generose. Sfortunatamente, il mio italiano è inesistente, quindi utilizzo Google Translate: spero che parte di questo testo abbia senso. Grazie anche a te per aver condiviso il tuo percorso di vita personale nel mondo dell'arte, della cultura e della creatività: è stato bello leggerlo. I migliori auguri, Jim

Thank you

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, that's correct - it's just standard household gloss paints.

Hi Kieran, Thankyou for your kind words. They're painted on MDF with household gloss paints.

@@AbstractOrkney fab this is Mags Kierans wife

@@kieranflynn7582 Thank you, Mags 🙂

Thank you, thank you, thank you. :-)

Ah, cheers, Alan. That means a lot to me. :-)

:-)

Thank you - I'm glad you liked it.

Ah, thank you. I'm lucky to have an amazing gallery owner in Kirkwall.

Good call! :-)

Ah, thank you. :-)

The metallics always seem to add a great deal. :-)

Thank you 😊

Thank you. :-) The white spirit was to thin that colour out slightly - it had dried a little in the tin.

Thank you - I'm glad you liked it.

Thank you. I'm delighted you liked the idea and the result, too. :-)

Thank you for your comment

It's abstract design, yes it is😂

i think it is better ti say "This is not good art"

Art is not art anymore kiddo.

There's no such a condition for like checking wether something is art or not. Also, you can ofcourse lrefer different styles en types of art, but art can't be "good" or "bad". Piet Mondriaan just painted squares and geometric figures. What would you say about that? Because is paintings are worth millions...

Ah, Thank you. :-)

Ah, thank you. That's so wonderful to hear. :-)

Good call - I'll definitely do that in a future video. :-)

Thank you for taking the time to watch the video and comment - it's really appreciated. :-)

@@AbstractOrkney happy to.... I'm a picture framer and love art.

​@@kathrynralli4557 Ah, Cool. :-)

No problem at all. I'm just delighted that you watch them and comment when you can. All the very best, Jim. :-)

Hi, Yes, Hammerite in the main along with other household gloss paints.

OK thanks!

Thank you. :-)

This is a good question and has got me thinking about addressing this issue in a future video. Thank you for the comment and apologies for the delayed response.

Blue is a go-to colour for me, it has to be said. Colours work for me, as you say, emotionally... like music.
