Adele thank you for sharing I have never painted since leaving school and I am 69 years young but you are just Brilliant again I have a Brain Injury and keep trying all different types of things to keep my what ever they are called floating around in my Brain
Please know how much your videos are appreciated, you are incredibly generous. For someone who loves art but has never been in a position to study it I am extremely grateful. Thank you.
You do some amazing things in your little shaky studio. I put the TV and the chairs in a bedroom and took over the living room for a studio. But things expand to fill the space available so I still don’t have much working space. Im a sucker for art supplies. You have certainly inspired me to get up and try something new. I should have been taking notes. I guess my weekend will be spent in Adele’s Studio.
I'd like to share some of my own tips with you: 1. When I blot paint off a painting instead of a paper towel which gets thrown away I use some kind of paper that can later become a piece of collage: deli paper, copy paper, graph paper, etc. I use it over and over so the different colors of paint get layered and built up on it. 2. I put a little bit of Dawn dish soap into the water container where I put my used brushes when I have finished with them so it is easier to clean them all at the end. 3. I rub hand cream on my hands before starting so the paint will come off easier. 4. After using a stencil I slip it into a baking pan with soapy water until I am finished and read to clean up. 5. I splurged on a very tall trash can so I don't have to bend over at all when tossing things into it. 6. Instead of restaurant trays that are all the same for collage pieces I use plastic or styrofoam plates with sections in them and stack them in alternating order so there is space between the layers.
Thanks for sharing your process. Your videos have certainly helped me to understand where to start, to add connections, to balance contrasting colours and textures and to freely experiment. 💕💙💕
I find your compositions interesting and liberating. Every time you hold a piece of paper up wondering out loud where to place it i think 'sweet spot (rule of thirds)' but you tend to place around the edges - never thought of it, yet it works!
Adele, I am a complete novice to creating Abstract Art and am learning through each video!! I have previously taken some Art Painting Courses at my local Community Art Center, which has inspired me to learn from you...there are so many variations and ways to create!!
Both are absolutely stunning especially together . Adele I just love your work and your gentle quiet work THANKYOU for all your time you give us to learn 🙏
Adele you are a woman to my creative heart You feel simular things but you explain and organise much better 😁 Thank you for showing the road I keep following you
I usually make two at a time, so I’ll have at least one that I’ll enjoy most. You’re doing an even more effective way, because you’re keeping them more related. This video is also helpful for me because I rarely use collage. I may head in this direction.... 😊 Thanks for this and all of your videos!
Adele, wasn't a fan of abstract art, but then I found you! Not sure what it is about watching you create, but it's peaceful and satisfying and the chaos makes sense at the end. I guess that's the point of it all. I love your work and I love learning from you! Thank you so much!
Adele, ever since I discovered you a couple of months ago I can't wait to see your new videos on Saturdays. I've learned so much from you and I'm always so excited to try your methods -when I find the time! Loved to watch your thought process in action along with your narrative, which are both extremely instructive. Thank you.
Hi Adele, writing on you pallet and printing it on the canvas is a phenomenal idea..I'll try that, thank you. Unortunarely I don' have space to work on 2 paintings a the same time.
Have just see this. Really good idea painting with a q tip? Loved the effect. Also watched cresting 4 small collages with striped swatches. Really great. Such good ideas. Loved the end result. Thanks so much. Very best wishes. From Barb in Scotland
Thank you Adele, I recently discovered you and your videos and am enjoying them very much. I am currently participating in an online art class and the teachers are using very similar techniques. I plan to go through every one of your free videos and will consider your paid subscription. I love your personality, spontaneity, and enthusiasm. I am a fairly new accidental artist and am loving the freedom and fun techniques that you are teaching.
dear Adele, thank you so much for your video. it is a pleasure to watch you doing your painting/collage. I like the way you explain your prozess of work. Every time i watch one of your videos, i learn samething to help me to go forwart on my paintings. Thank you so much. I am looking forward to the next video. (Sorry about the poore english)
Your English is fine, I understood everything you wrote. Hearing that you are learning something with each video makes this process so worthwhile. Thank you for letting me know. 🌸
Wonderful video Adele. I was struggling with abstract and your first tutorial showed me how to free up and then the second, inspired by Richard Diebenkorn ,who is one of my favourites , sold me on your videos. Collage can also help free up painters block. So I will watch many more videos. Thank you.
I love watching you go through the process of what you're creating...it's mesmerizing! I also like the fact that there is no plan, yet you let yourself get immersed in what you do and come up with interesting ideas as to how to create your ideas. Excellent!
Hello, Adele. I'm always waiting for Saturday morning and your newest video ! Thank you so much for sharing your creative process and these two paintings are very , very exciting . I love them ! Sorry, I don't have enough words to discribe it in english. I learn a lot, by watching your videos and try to practice. Thank's for your hard work. Keep it up !! 🎨🙋♀️
Hola, muy interesante ver todos tus videos, he aumentado mucho la variedad de recursos con las que pinto actualmente, eres una maestra mil gracias!! saludos desde Santiago Chile.
Hey Adele, I am just getting startet in abstract painting and feel safer for now by starting with the idea of recreating pieces but in my own way. That gives me a guideline. Also I can try different methods and see what I like. I love your printing idea and the way you went with the white "blob" :D it's great to embrace things that don't go as planned. Thank you for the inspiration! Your videos always calm me down. Great choice of background music. Love your little, wiggly studio. ❤️
Adele, thank you so, so much for these wonderful videos - i am so grateful that you take the time and effort to make these videos, they are an absolute treasure chest of information and education for me. I discovered that i love painting, and specifically abstract painting, only a couple of years ago and i am entirely self taught. While it is very satisfying to grapple with the process of creating a painting that works, it can be rather hit and miss, and not having a teacher, it is always me giving feedback to me - kind of like the blind leading the blind sometimes! Your videos are exactly what i have been searching for - a way to get into the mind of an artist as she explains her process, why she does what she does. It is absolutely invaluable. Amazing. I learn so much from each video - every single step in this one for example taught me something i didnt know. You are very generous to share your skill and experience with us, I’m sure it must be quite time consuming to produce these videos, please know that your efforts are very much appreciated and of great value to this novice painter here in Sydney, Australia. Blessings to you.
You are so kind to give me such great and informative feedback. I hope you can tell I have a passion for teaching and sharing my secret tips and shortcuts. By giving out this information I hope I can help you skip years of learning. It is quite time consuming to create the weekly videos, but getting the wonderful feedback as you have given, is what keeps me going and continuing to produce them. With much gratitude, 🌸🌸
Lovely! I admit i don't understand abstract art but i Like yours! When you pressed the white on with the pallet and pulled it back I felt this "light" come on inside me! hahaha! That sounds maybe odd but its fun to try and describe ones response to art with words. Thank you for explaining your process So well. A joy to watch. This is new to me but I Am going to give it a try! Be Blessed.
Many people don’t like abstract art. You are not alone there. I felt the same “oooh I love that” too when I removed the palette and saw the white shape. It was something inside. Those are the moments that you can’t predict but they make it so fun and exciting and continue to inspire me to keep painting. 🌸
Thanks for watching. I love abstract too and some people have difficulty with it so I am hoping by watching me do it and explain what I am doing that more people can learn. 🌸
I just last night stumbled on to your videos, and so excited as this is the exact way I want to learn to paint! I love this style and was at a loss to do it myself. This brings all my learning together with what I actually want to accomplish, so thank you so much for sharing your way of doing things!!
Like them both, must try tearing paper! I've worked with more than one canvas but they were not linked so must give that a go.Nothing wrong with using black either. Sometimes I use a chromatic black because you can choose a 'black' mix with some of the pictures colours often. Enjoyed watching, thanks
Yes, tearing the collage papers gives it a different edge that is a contrast to other edges in the piece. I always use a bit of black in every painting. I think it adds something special. 🌸
One of the things I am learning from you is to use LESS paint than I think I need. It turns out the lots of paint can lead to muddy colours, too thick a texture, and surprisingly, minimizes its impact. Less IS more.
Hello adele.. I love watching.. Ur all videos.. Specifically I like the way u create different layers.. I'm also artist new to d abstract art.. Iwld like to experiment, I need some professional artist like u.. To correct my painting.or. How to juddge my self my painting is going in wright path... Thanq.. Namaste
I've been struggling with a series I've been working on and your tips on creating an abstract have really helped and served as reminders of stuff I already knew. 1- I reduced my palette to 3 colors + b&w. 2- used your subtle warm & cool variations of white...amazing! 3- thanks for reminding me that it's ok if paintings in a series end up being different from each other as long as they relate through color and technique. Thanks so much!
Really enjoyed your process and the outcome. The use of black really intrigued me. I was "taught" never to use black as it would often 'kill' a painting but rather a combination of complementaries that were common to the painting, eg a red-orange and blue-green until you got the darkest dark from them. However I will be giving black a go since youve taught me it depends on how you use it. Also are all your collage papers your own from discarded paintings etc. Ive got some really great brown paper I was thinking of going to town on so I can rip it all up and use in a painting or two. Thanks again for your generous sharing :)
Your making the process relatable - thank you! I'd love to see what you did to get the canvas started as you did here. It looks like a nice painting in itself.
Oh my Gawd, I'm going to make some little mixed media thingies, sort of in the spirit of this (using my wild colors that sometimes slip-slide towards the edge of tacky). I have never wanted to add text or dried paint to a canvas before today, but now I'm going to make a bunch o' little canvases a la Adele. I need something for my toilettes, and I need to come up with a print that's NOT a picture of an outhouse before Ray sees one of those as he shops for groceries. Nothing against Walmart outhouse wall art if you're a guy and you want people to know you're a bachelor, but it's just not moi. I'm going to make different kinds of collage thingies and see what happens. If I do several different series, I can change them every few months to follow the seasons or my mood swings. I've never done a series like this, but i only have to please myself.... see The Artists' Curse to understand how hard it is to enjoy your own art.
The side-by-side technique is effective to produce works that are individual but clearly related. The dark grey walls are interesting too; most studios seem to have white walls. True grey allows good color perception too. Also, seeing the true colors indoors requires good, balanced light. What kind of lighting are you using?
Just catching up on your vids today! Love the collage tray idea and I really like these 2 pcs - colour and composition. I'm learning so much from you, Adele 🤩🤓 🎨
@@AdeleSypesteynStudio Yeahhhh! I will be first in line and promise to share them with friends. You'll be surprised how many of us will watch and enjoy the longer vids ⌚🎈👍
Thank you so much for sharing your thought process! I learn so much for your videos and share them with my art group. I am trying to lighten my color palette and this inspires me. Just received the "color scheme bible" that your recommended and I can't wait to start creating.
I am so happy you are sharing the videos with your art group. The more people I can reach the better which means there will be more art in the world. Even though I have had that book for many years I still use it and reference it all the time. I know you will enjoy it. 🌸
I love your thoughtful restraint as you create. It is inspiring to watch you compose with the different elements & techniques you employ. The final results are as soothing as your creative process. I would also like to have seen you paint the background. What paper/canvas were you painting on. How is it attached to the wall? I would like to see some shots of your studio. You say it is small. That is great, but probably larger than my dining room table which is my 'studio.'
Hi Nancy, just today I showed a video of my small studio space on my Instagram feed. You can take a look there. Just look me up on a Instagram at Adele Sypesteyn. 🌸
@@AdeleSypesteynStudio When I did a search on instagram FIVE versions of you (pages) came up, why so many (studio, design, artanddesign)? I finally found it under #adelesypesteynart so that's the one for anyone else looking.
Howdy... Just found you a few weeks back ...loving your visual language and art style. Learning a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your artist knowledge with so many. My question is; if we make a piece of art and we use magazine, newspaper, book pages or some other form of mass produced media in our art piece, and sell our art piece, that would not be a crime, correct?
I love the use of qtips for loose marks and the drips. Does the addition of water compromise the paint in anyway. I've seen where people advise to use mediums for thinning paint. What's your thoughts on this please. Thanks for generously showing your process. I appreciate it. I'm self taught and your intuitive mindful process appeals to me as that's how I like to work too.
Adele thank you for sharing I have never painted since leaving school and I am 69 years young but you are just Brilliant again I have a Brain Injury and keep trying all different types of things to keep my what ever they are called floating around in my Brain

You are such an inspiration ! I have just rearranged my small studio space to try my hand at abstract painting. I need the freedom to express.
I watched this video again recently, and I have started a pair of paintings very much like these. Exciting and fun!

Adele, I am a complete novice to creating Abstract Art and am learning through each video!! I have previously taken some Art Painting Courses at my local Community Art Center, which has inspired me to learn from you...there are so many variations and ways to create!!
I like to always have some black and some white, black for contrast and white to add life.
Both are absolutely stunning especially together . Adele I just love your work and your gentle quiet work THANKYOU for all your time you give us to learn 🙏
Love your work. Collage is my medium with mixed media additions. I am watching while tearing up catalogs for paper treasures.
No need to apologise for your shaky studio, your brilliant artand generosity makes up for it. Thank you
Adele you are a woman to my creative heart
You feel simular things but you explain and organise much better 😁

True grey allows good color perception too. Also, seeing the true colors indoors requires good, balanced light. What kind of lighting are you using?
This is so beautiful. l like the way you explain all the details. Thank you.
Thanks so much. I like explaining the details because I think you can learn better that way. 🌸
@@AdeleSypesteynStudio Yes. l learned a lot.
I love watching your process but would have liked to see how you tinted the canvases at the beginning before your process. Thanks. Ruth
Would love to show that Ruth but then the video would be way too long. Thanks for letting me know.
@@AdeleSypesteynStudio How about a 2 part video -
Just catching up on your vids today! Love the collage tray idea and I really like these 2 pcs - colour and composition. I'm learning so much from you, Adele 🤩🤓 🎨
I am so glad. And I know you wanted longer videos so I started doing them. 🌸
@@AdeleSypesteynStudio Yeahhhh! I will be first in line and promise to share them with friends. You'll be surprised how many of us will watch and enjoy the longer vids ⌚🎈👍
@@mixedmedialife7916 great to know. I am so glad you let me know you were wanting them. 🌸
Thank you so much for sharing your thought process! I learn so much for your videos and share them with my art group. I am trying to lighten my color palette and this inspires me. Just received the "color scheme bible" that your recommended and I can't wait to start creating.
I am so happy you are sharing the videos with your art group. The more people I can reach the better which means there will be more art in the world. Even though I have had that book for many years I still use it and reference it all the time. I know you will enjoy it. 🌸
These colors 💞 I was waiting for such tutorial from you. Beautiful pieces and so are you 🌸
Good to know this was a helpful video for you. Thank you. 🌸
I love your thoughtful restraint as you create. It is inspiring to watch you compose with the different elements & techniques you employ. The final results are as soothing as your creative process. I would also like to have seen you paint the background. What paper/canvas were you painting on. How is it attached to the wall? I would like to see some shots of your studio. You say it is small. That is great, but probably larger than my dining room table which is my 'studio.'
Hi Nancy, just today I showed a video of my small studio space on my Instagram feed. You can take a look there. Just look me up on a Instagram at Adele Sypesteyn. 🌸
@@AdeleSypesteynStudio When I did a search on instagram FIVE versions of you (pages) came up, why so many (studio, design, artanddesign)? I finally found it under #adelesypesteynart so that's the one for anyone else looking.
Love your videos. Thank you. Why do you choose a darker wall color to paint on?
Love your generous tutorials. Where do you buy your white floater frames?
Learning a lot from you, thanks 😎😎😎
Thanks so much for watching and letting me know you are learning. 🌸
Howdy...
Just found you a few weeks back ...loving your visual language and art style. Learning a lot from you. Thank you for sharing your artist knowledge with so many.
My question is; if we make a piece of art and we use magazine, newspaper, book pages or some other form of mass produced media in our art piece, and sell our art piece, that would not be a crime, correct?
I love the use of qtips for loose marks and the drips. Does the addition of water compromise the paint in anyway. I've seen where people advise to use mediums for thinning paint. What's your thoughts on this please. Thanks for generously showing your process. I appreciate it. I'm self taught and your intuitive mindful process appeals to me as that's how I like to work too.
What is the music that is always playing in the background? Love it, very inspiring
It' great... thanks!!!
