I've been wanting to paint abstract art for a long time. I love art! Honestly, all kinds. But there's something magical about abstract art. Watching from Eastern North Carolina ❤ Thanks for sharing 💞
Albert, Hi. Thank you for all of your great videos. I look forward to each new one. I am interested to try the Mary Heilmann finger-painting and I'm wondering if you used heavy body or soft body paint. I understand that Amsterdam Acrylics have more body. Thanks!
Hi Heidi, thanks, wonderful to hear you like the videos. As you probably know I use Winsor & Newton Galeria acrylics. But for this exercise you can use any brand. I used to work with Amsterdam. For the finger painting I don't use any extras, just the paint, play with it. If you have the body materia,l experiment with that too. Find your own best combination. The fun part of this exercise is you can spread it out again when you mess up and do it again. Because acrylics dries quickly, the layer must be thicker than when painting normally. Love to see your results!! Have fun, Albert
This is awesome. I went over and watched an interview she gave. She doesn't take herself too seriously which is refreshing. Thanks for introducing us to her work. There is another painter- Joan Snyder. Check her out and see what you think. I would love to see your take on her work.
Hi Rebecca, thanks, great to hear you like her too. Nice you watch an interview, it gives an extra I can't show in my video. Oh and I looked at your suggestion: Joan Snyder, very interesting. It reminds me in a way of Cy Twombly and a Dutch painter as well. I'll put her on my list for a video. Thanks again, and a happy 2020, Albert
You use paper in your video demonstrations, but I don't see the type or brand of paper listed in your supply list. In addition do you recommend a particular brand/type for creating archival work on paper with your process? Thank you.
Hi Unity, thanks. I use universal drawing paper that also can be used for soft pastel, or oil pastels. And acrylics when skipping the use of water. It's not a brand paper. I use such an amount of sheets to show ideas or ways of working. Not for eternity or to sell. So I don't have to preserve it. I advice to go to your local art supply store and ask for advice, buy some different types and see what works for you. Hope this helps. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings Thank you, Albert. I’m very much enjoying your videos about process and inspiration! I have printmaking and watercolor paper, but Im always curious and open to what other artists are using. Again, thank you for consistently interesting and well-done series. -Barbara Curry
Bedankt weer Albert voor deze interessante video! Hoe vindt je zo iemand als Mary Heilmann? Ben benieuwd, want ik had nog nooit van haar gehoord. Fijne jaarwisseling!
Hallo Ellen, bedankt voor je reactie, leuk. Ik zag ergens werk van haar (internet, boek ?) En ben eens verder gaan kijken. Het was té leuk om geen video van te maken. Ogenschijnlijk simpel maar er zit veel meer achter. Kijk die video's over haar maar eens, een link staat in de beschrijving onder mijn video. Jij ook fijne jaarwisselingen een gezond en kunstzinnig 2020. Albert
I found the piece you created much more interesting and more visually arresting than her work. Let's admit it: fine art MUST have a specific degree of sophistication and ALWAYS some kind of vision. Otherwise, it is just playing around with paints.
Hi Konstantinos, thanks. Indeed, the story behind the painting (style) is often needed to be able to appreciate it. On the other side it's all personal, preference, taste, knowledge and ... flexibility to open yourself to new things. In my opinion the last one is the most important aspect in appriciating art. Bye, Albert
Thank you for making art so special and simple. Teaching us to be me. I can’t wait to get started
Thanks, Eco. Enjoy creating your own versions. Albert

Thanks for sharing 💞
Thanks, Michelle. I love abstract. It triggers a lot. I can ponder for hours looking at it. Just give it a go. Albert
Thanks for introducing me to her work - and for showing how she inspired you to work in a different way.
Hi Susan, thanks. So nice to find s new inspiring artist, I learn from all. Have a nice day, Albert
Enjoyed your discussion of her work
Hi Susan, thanks. It may not be scientific, but it is how I look at it. A painters perspective. Bye, Albert
A great lesson!!!! Thank you.
Hi Dawn, thanks. I really like her style. Bye, Albert
