Animals, Creatures, and Fairytale worlds are created with Acrylic paints in “Foggy Knight”

- Acrylic painting done on canvas as a time-lapse demonstration of what can be achieved with the medium. My paintings tend to tie together as snapshots from various parts of an overarching story. I view them as chapter headings or "coming soon" movie posters that highlight some of what you might experience when diving into this world. Here is just a little glimpse of "The Outside":
"Below the clouds, and below the gaze
of the western cliffs and the abandoned place.
Where the fog is thick and the echoes stir,
then out of the wetness, a change occurs.
He leaves the sea in his brand new form.
Once a "Mer", now dinosaur!
This Foggy Knight counts on the sound,
of thunder and waves, crashing around.
They hide his entrance. he carries out his task.
To bring news to The Gardner of the Fool-King in the mask.
His friends are all close; they shepherd him forth.
Because strength in numbers will deliver him north.
Where a group of knights of the order of stars,
gather together on a beach not too far.
And what is the topic, the conversation at hand?
Where are all the children? Why have they left this land?
And who is this charmer who feels like a viper?
Is he a minstrel? Is he a piper?
This group that gathers will do all they can,
To get back the children and defeat this dark-Pan.
It will take an army to fight his army of frights,
So assembled in numbers, are the brave Starry Knights!"

You know... you spend all that time in art history class - studying the "greats" - Salvador Dali, Michelangelo, DaVinci - but I have never seen anything quite so creative, beautiful and skilled as this - this is truly remarkable - I hope you go down in history Sir, and that your name is well known - I am blown away... WOW.
the problem of modern art is that you're flooded in the mass cause there is so many artist now. it's harder to make your place ^^
The reason you spend all that time studying the "greats" is because that is what inspired all modern art today. Without Dali, Lewis Carrol and Richard Adams you probably wouldn't have Simkins because all artists/filmakers/authors of today are standing on the foundation of the "greats" work and in fact continue it.
Finally. I discover an artist whose style I actually like, AND who paints with acrylics.
This inspires me to keep pushing forward with my acrylics. Love your work, man.
Bill Pliske Well said bro! 💯
Do you know if he paints with heavy acrylic or fluid acrylics?
@@robosing225 hes background (and mixing in sometimes) with an open medium mix he uses in this video : th-cam.com/video/DHxaqutVHOg/w-d-xo.html, alongside just great skill with glazing and layering transparent and opaque layers.
Robosing I use nova color paints fluid acrylics:)
I think the same, i like acrylic so much, his work inspire me to continue this way. Usually i use vallejo studio but dry off so fast and impast it more, need try another mark.
He's so confident with his brush strokes and I always learn something from watching him paint. He's one of my favorite artist rn
Your paintings say so much about the natural world and all the beautiful magical creatures that inhabit it. We only get one chance to look after it.
I don't have a single artistic gene in my body but I know what I like. Don't know what style this is called but you own it. I could watch these for hours, wait I just did...
You should do an adult coloring book! I would adore working with the images you create!
100%👍🏽
Yes please do a colouring book, I agree with the original comment, it would be well loved. 😊
I really love your whimsical / dreamy style. This is one of my favorite videos because it shows you painting in real time and looking at your references. It gives a good insight into how long these paintings take. I also love that you were on the phone for a little bit while painting.
The magical workings of s mind unfettered by reality.
Чудо рождается на глазах!!! Какое чувство формы!!!! Смотрю с огромным восхищением! Очень счастлива, что открыла для себя такого неординарного художника!!! Спасибо!
Wauw, you are very very good, I love your work and style. Amazing job. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍
Every time I watch you paint, I immediately want to see a movie adaptation of it..
I don’t think there’s a painter in the world that I could watch for this long and not get bored
I can imagine this being a cover for a fantasy novel.
You know this is why i practice everyday ill get to this level at some point😊
Thank you for including the “real time” snippets in your video. It gives a hint at how much deliberation and work truly goes into every piece.
The devil works hard, but Greg works harder!
I wish i was a child again... Things would have turned out so much better if I had this artist in my young life. You are truly amazing man.
No he visto nada más bello en mi vida. Estoy de acuerdo en que ojalá y pases a la historia como un gran artista. Es emocionante verte pintar. He llorado con la parte de la orca de la hermosura evocadora que tienen tus cuadros. Gracias
Just wow. Thank you for showing your work. What a gift!?!
Love your painting style, and love the longer more detailed video's 👍👍🎨🎨
Who would give 54 dislikes to this man that has such beautiful technique in painting and such a creative mind. The work that comes out of his mind is amazing. I binged all his videos. I am an artist and I am so amazed.
I guess someone who is jealous of his amazing talent or just plane nuts.
I agree that some people are jealous.
En not everybody likes dat tap of art.
They be jelly.
Truley one of the greatest artist in this lifetime. The last time I was this excited over a painting, no, work of art was the first time I went to the Salvador Dali museum. My mind can’t even comprehend where his ideas come from. Amazing
I'm blown away, this artists work is amazing , I've watched a few of his works, I really can't pull my eyes away from it. I don't know why but I've always loved watching someone write, even doodling, it's like I get in a trance, there's no particular reason or pattern to it, I'm like a deer in headlights . But this is at another level, I literally could stare at his creating anything, watching him put the very last details on fish, birds, thank you so much for the moments you made me forget about my personal worries and sadness, even though it feels fleeting, being lost in time. Very grateful 🙏
You are a God. I have never seen so Phantastic Drawings!!!
Asy pues la pintura artistica en un Sinfin de apariciones magicas increibles que hacen pensar mucho.Cuando se pinta como tu.De nuevo Felicidades.
Wow!!!!!!!! No words simply beautiful creations, you have a Great gift! Sir.
Illustrative skills like this are among the rarest on the planet. Pure magic
Thank you for giving me some peace of mind, in this hard times. I Appreciate your ART.
WOW! I am blown away. One of the best videos/ paintings I have seen so far. Keep up the good work. I can never hope to afford one of your paintings, but these videos take me to a special place where you mythology rules.
Watching painting and staring at tattoos! 🤯😆👍💗
Just WOW ...This is truly ORIGINAL!
I just started painting and I don’t know whether to throw my paint brushes down and give up or strive for more after watching this. 😂Unbelievable. Beautiful.
I say you strive for more! It takes time and practice, but you can do it!
No, train harder ;D
Keep painting! I know you have it in you!
It's really hard and discouraging when you start. You have this vision in your mind but the brushes just don't seem to agree with you. Just remember, the people on Instagram and TH-cam that you want to be like have been doing this for a long time.
What I like to do is pick a subject - say 'clouds' or 'waves' or whatever, and binge-watch a bunch of different videos to pick up lots of tips, and just start using them. And over time, you start to build up a reference catalogue in your head.
When you're stuck for inspiration, just check out how other people approach it. Eventually your hands and you brain start to get in synch and you find yourself using those techniques you picked up automatically, even applying them to other subjects. It's all about experience and muscle-memory.
@@Auriflamme I am an artist and I can only speak for myself, but I never put brush to paper until I see the whole painting in my mind, then I just copy what's in my mind and wala?
My dude....you top Dahli and Nerdrum. I am blown away.
I'm just going to say it. You...Mr. Simkins...have truly found enlightenment. Your mind must be fascinating, because in my experience...those of us who paint find our therapy/enlightenment in the details. In breaking down visuals into smaller and smaller shapes that are still cohesively engaged, the mind can sometimes emulate this emotionally and in a way only someone who creates could understand. I apologize for the broad speak...Im trying to find the right words because this is very important to convey to you. Mostly because you already KNOW it, but there is absolutely NOTHING BETTER than that shared moment of realization and awareness clicking. And to be reminded/shown from another viewpoint of perspectives of ourselves can be so refreshing and possibly rejuvenate that awareness we already attained, but store away because the existential reality of existance is so profound, that if you were to let on that you found a certain peace many will fight a lifetime to find...you might become an icon and/or a prophet externally...and that seems to be the furthest thing from the point of finding it in the first place. Its the RELEASE of the ego in some ways. But thats not the point. What I am getting at is this:
I would absolutely wager that your mind knows a peace and a place so close to "God" or the universe at large...that you hold many secrets to life that you dont even realize they are secrets. But they are. Because it takes incredible discipline to attain them. And they are easily lost too. Other people commonly attempt to borrow this energy....but trust when I say...you create it. And you emanate it. Your art is so stunning that it expands the mind just upon looking at it. I wonder what it feels like to be the author of this energy giving. So much so that I chose art and music to dedicate my life to because I hope to attain even more than I have even barely scratched the surface of. As always...thank you for the inspiration and the reminder that there is magic still out there. And now I HAVE to paint. Its absolutely like a silent contagion. Especially after watching you for hours. I MUST CREATE. A voice that doesn't go away until I put my brushes to canvas or wood or anything I want to paint. I appreciate the gumption sir. ;)
Honor that mind and that goodness inside of you when you can. When you do what you are meant to be doing...you know. And its incomparably amazing. Congratulations on owning life. ;)
Your use of light and shade brings your charactertures to a more realistic but surrealistic form. Brilliant to see how you’ve been able to balance and offset your art. Fantastic stuff.
These longer versions are amazing. Thank you for sharing.
Just . . . Wow.
I just get stuck watching these come to life.
Your artwork and musical choice go hand in hand ! Subject matter is superb! Awesome, a real joy to watch this appear!
hmm yes, inspiring to delve into colors, and acrylics. Guess I'll need a hairdryer. I like the thought of gripping the handle so close to the brush, like using a pencil. Very cool, thanks for this vid.
Superbe avec beaucoup des belles idées de décoration et opinions...
讃讚讚真的太捧了，畫的真好看，比照的還清楚。超級畫家。高手天才，不對是鬼才。我喜歡。
So AMAZING! Thank you for sharing, your work inspires me and so many others I'm sure!
Thank you again, keep up the great work!
I am intrigued, enthralled, excited, upset, invested, confused all at the same time.....cannot look away! I was never into fantasy until now!
Nereden ilham alıyorsun bilinmez ama dünya dışı bir hayat enerjisi var sende Sim. 😉👍✌️
ive recently started watching your videos brotha... ive been in a funk lately, stuck at dead end jobs, wishing i could do things differently, and just not really having any joy in life... seeing your videos made me miss painting, and now i will get back into it... you have truly inspired me to go back to a side of me that has been long gone... thank you... your really an amazing artist.
Thank you and hang in there 🙏
Cool! Very nice!
C est trop beau .quel maitrise de la technique incroyable et le souci du detail
I've been watching your videos over and over, something hypnotic about your art, takes me back to when I watched Bob Ross and felt mesmerized by these beautiful worlds he created ... Thank you so much for each piece you continue to make.
Espectacular! Congratulations!!
Best painter in the world!!!
@Greg"Craola"Simkins I just love getting lost in your work. These longer videos are always a pleasure to watch and very therapeutic. Keep your imagination stirred up and burning. You're truly one of a kind. From one artist to another. Many blessings to you.
Great story telling in your work and writings.
That’s really incredible. The detail alone is stunning, but the creativity involved in thinking it all up. Really great.
I also noticed the Black Flag logo there on the Panda thing.
It’s ridiculous that stuff like this doesn’t get more views.
YES! 50 MINUTES OF MASTERY!!!
aMusement Art it's a good day
Pura magia y pura fantasía. ¡¡
Sencillamente maravilloso!!
the gloss effects are very good. everything looks so touchable. i wish i had just one percent of your talent... very nice work.
So weird and brilliant. I love your work so creative.
I love watching the artist at work. Thank you for sharing.
you should be the example what artist means nowadays in a world full of painters that disrespect the arts with their works...I wish you all the best!
Un maestro, felicitaciones por su trabajo, uno de los mejores artistas actuales, su proceso creativo es genial y el manejo de la técnica incomparable, gracias por mostrar su habilidad.
I just did 200 push ups watching this beautiful ART
Amazing process. I'm blown away and left sitting here saying "Wow"
I just find this channel. Man I cant believe my eyes. It's like watching something come to life. I am mesmerised. Thank you for making these videos. You are incredible.
I am an oil painter but this year, I have been doing my first Inktober, and using ink, and watercolour.. I now, am looking at this wondering why I have never given acrylic a better try.. this is gorgeous.. the tones, and how its so flowing.. I find that hard to achieve with acrylics.. loving watching these types of videos..
Simply blown away.. I need to work but i can't stop watching. Just mesmerizing..
I was trying to find the words to describe your talent, but there are none, it is out of this world. I'm so in awe of you. Every time...
creative VERY CREATIVE! very beautiful!
I usually fast forward through parts I find uninteresting in longer art videos, but these are so engrossing that time flies by fast and I watch the whole thing.
AMAZING !!! GREAT IMAGINATION !! BEAUTIFUL SKILL !!!
Digital artist of 6 years here, I'm utterly blown away by your talent! I've always been envious of the soft gradients and the brush texture you get from traditional painting, it's difficult to replicate properly from a digital point of view even with digital brushes. I've wanted to get into acrylic painting for ages but I've always been too afraid of messing up. Maybe I'll try to paint along with one of your videos this summer!
I love this story, the knights freeing the other creatures to leap and fly as nature intended. Stunning complexity. The highlights are delicious. Yes, I will sit and stare in awe for 46 minutes, no problem, thank you.
master class keep it up
Sir whatever you are doing with your videos please keep it up! Your dedication! the MUSIC in this takes me away I listen/watch this video for everything I do. I'm hypnotize lmao. This is so beautiful.
What an imagination! The poem is most entertaining and intriguing.
Greg Simkins, I love your style and videos so much. I'm a senior citizen and started painting late in my life and have never taken art classes. I learn so much from your videos. Thank you.
You must have some awesome dreams when sleep. Fantastic Art Work!
What a wonderful imagination.
I am just amazed by each piece the depth of creativity you show, cant figure out if you see the characters prior to starting out or they just become random, either way it's a pleasure to watch
Simplemente espectacular. Un genio
This legit looks like magic
Awesome work, so whimsical, fun and dark at the same time. I particularly loved the poem you wrote to go with it, the sense of hope and power from unity it has is very moving. Awesome work as always!
Superb, the reflections on the shoulder pads is insane
I love this so much, it don't make no scene!
Your talent and artwork is just unbelievable. I really hope your pieces are hung up in museums and on all the rich people's walls and make lots of money and a lot of people happy because with this talent you definitely deserve it all!
Hey Greg, subscribed yesterday, watched 3 of your paintings this morning.Brilliance with the brush. Thanks for sharing.
You are amaizing dude!! Vaya forma de pintar eres fenomenal!! Good job!!
The Smoke at 18:21 had me in awwww and then at 40:00 my fav appears, IN A GLOBE!!!! Oh Man, just mesmerized!!!
Bravo j adore toute ses couleurs le tableau est magnifique champion je suis de france marseille 😅fait rêver 😊
Carola unique style is by far my favorite artist of all artist I know of. 💯
I’m surprised he ain’t got well over millions of subscribers..... I trip out cause he’s a very well talented artist.
Because a lot of people are still so hyped with oil painting. I love acrylics no bad smell.. easy to clean and way more economical than oil. Go acrylics!!!!👍👍
Joey Vee now I wanna see him do an oil painting....wonder how that would come out.
Incredibly strange & beautiful. Cannot stop watching you create ❤️ it
Your work is mesmerizing ! Your level of detail and development...…..your imagination...……….your mind ! Love the tuna breaching out of the water, originating from the two dimension ! Wicked cool !
Great post. These videos of yours are outstanding. Of all of the TH-cam, time-lapse videos on painting, most if not all are a chore to sit through, informative but dull. Most youtube posts that I see on painting technique fall well short of yours and what you're doing. I learn something from you every time I watch one of your posts and I appreciate how you DON'T over-narrate, and how you simply produce the posts. You are inspiring.
Your videos are like discovering gold, and even the ones I've already watched never seem to get old........oh!......and the music you use couldn't be better. imho.
There's not many art/painting TH-camrs that I personally like, but your channel content is top notch and the videos pack in so much information, I gain real empirical experience just by watching you paint. I find your posts pleasant, helpful, not overly verbose and just fun to watch. Of almost all of the youtube Art instruction channels, only Aaron Blaise and Proko ........and now GregSimkinsArt have prompted me to sub. I have about 250 various subs, so I'm picky now (I'm a painter too btw).
I subscribed to Juxtapoz magazine for a few years and never knew that you cut your teeth with amazing graffiti or that you were Crayola🖍️🖍️🖍️. I'm paying attention now though!
Moreover I just want to say thank you Greg for putting in the effort to record what you do and thank-you for making these videos available for free.
Absolutely terrific. 🖌️🎨
Thank you so much for this glowing comment🙏 I am very grateful. All the best to you ! Have a great day!
You're amazing. Someday I'll get a piece of your artwork. I also paint, but nothing like your skill level. I'm going to practice more.
I agree. The combination of the time lapse n 'real time' keeps me interested even more. Keep em coming. Luv the art
Truly amazing style and technique. I learned so very much by slowing the video down and watching closely. Thank you!
SUBLIME !!!!!Quel ARTISTE........félicitations
JOJO
C'est super beau 🥰, j'adore !!!
I recently discovered your work and I am blown away by your talent!!! I am also an artist and you give me so much inspiration! AMAZING WORK, GREG!
I am curious about how long this took you to complete. Such perfection!
Tick🔔 green , kinda magic
How amazing skills
it’s crazy how well you can blend the acrylics and how you do it without disturbing the layers underneath :,)
You are a god in your craft. You are pure Genius. What an amazing video. I love your art and your universe. It was a pleasure to watch you paint. The details you put in your piece of art is insane. I don’t have the word. Thank you.
That snow globe and water looks amazing, the level of details is awesome!
