Hi David, I was sorry to see this was your last video but have kept checking back in case you changed your mind! I just saw in a comment that you felt you had said all you need to say and I wanted to say that if you’re still painting and don’t mind recording what you do I have always just enjoyed watching your process and the evolution of the paintings. Even without your valuable lessons they have been a joy to watch so if you ever feel like sharing again without having to explain everything I’ll be watching! Thanks again for all your great content. 😊
Good analysis. Value contrast and using the colour wheel are key. This is why I like your work and Bob Burridge's, you both emphasise a fun loose style with an underlying professional discipline to structure, value and colour. Makes for cracking abstracts for the viewer and I would imagine a lot of pleasure for yourselves as the painter.
You are incredibly helpful David, I am learning so much through your videos! I am hoping to take your design fundamentals online course soon! Much love, Jana
This was a great video. I looked at all my abstract paintings again looking for the hierarchy. Some had it and some didn’t! It was that “missing piece”. Thanks David!
Hello David! Are you no longer doing TH-cam videos? I love the channel and have followed you for a long time. Thank you for so many amazing videos I have learned so much from you.
Hi Paul, you’re awesome, thank you. No, I am no longer doing videos, this was my last one. I felt like I had said everything I needed to, and didn’t have anything left in the tank. Thanks for your support, it is much appreciated.
Yes David, I don't like to see paintings, from all genres that are just patterns and colours !! Like in music - you need light and shade, contrasts and structure !! A great video !! Thank you !!
Would you do a video on when is it time to stretch your own canvas? And the reasons-Because of size, price, quality? Are pre-stretched just as good now with better technology?
I agree, but patterned abstracts can be interesting, however, establishing a Hierarchy helps create continuity to a painting and I think it makes it much more interesting to look at. It draws me into it vs just looking at it.
Hi Sara, thanks for thinking of me! I’ve gone back to working in architecture full time (my first love), so it doesn’t leave me much time to do anything else. I felt like, with my video channel here, that I had said everything I had to say.
@@davidm.kesslerfineart1717 Well, thanks for the work you have done and I wish you continued success. You have been an inspiration and a friendly face to many viewers. 👍
What you say is so true. I'm not an experienced painter, only been doing it a couple of years, but one thing that's clear to me is that it needs to have some sort of form or shape and more importantly a focal point. I have been a photographer for about 12 years so it probably comes from that. I really don't like abstract art that looks too uniform over the whole canvas. It's just like psychedelic wallpaper. Boring.
124. Almost similar to the atmosphere It looks amazing and very awesome. Will definitely visit your channel more often. see my channel too. thank you my friend.

I don’t stretch my own canvases. It takes too much time. It’s much better for me to buy them prestretched.
Thank you for watching "Hierarchy in Painting." I appreciate your support!
amazing.. i like yuor
Great video and very interesting! 👍🏼
Thanks Riky!

Impression Sunsrise? by Monet
That wasn’t Monet’s title, but that is what it is referred to today.
