I was a graphic designer so exactness was key. then I did pencil portraits for 4 months and succeeded but got bored. Then I went to gelli printing which is no need for control. It is just play. Then I incorporated gelli prints (through collage) into mixed media paintings, combining figure drawing with abstracted backgrounds. I played with the negative spaces between the figures and how we don't need much detail to get feelings from the figures. So negative/positive shapes and body language using contour drawings filled with gelli prints and more textured acrylic colors for negative space background. Now I want to insert pencil drawn faces, hands and feet in with the simple contour shapes to see what happens to the "feelings". I love graphite drawings but need the colors too and abstract backgrounds contrasted with realistic figures is fun. I love your work.
I am legally blind. Before I went blind I used to love doing realistic art. I did it for years, almost all my life, and I loved it. But over 10 years ago my doctor told me that I was going blind. My life totally changed. I noticed that my art just wasn't right. I couldn't draw a straight line to save my soul. For a few years I was deeply depressed. One day I came across Picasso cubism. I was never into abstract art but after I saw his cubism art it clicked. It made sense to me. I thought if I can't see straight then I won't paint straight. With my eyesight the way it is I can't see people's faces clearly. So I thought what if I paint what I see. And boooy did it work. I love seeing very bright colors so I decided to do pop cubism. I really love my art now. I am able to let my perfectionism go and just trust the process. Now I paint women with big beautiful eyes. Sometimes one eye larger than another and the way I use color, I can actually see my art. I absolutely love what I do now. My eyesight is still in decline but I am Blessed. Don't be afraid of trying something new. You just may be surprised by the journey it takes you on. God bless ❤️
Great! I really think there is no "I can't" I think there is just "I can't this way and I need to find a way that works." I am deeply impressed by the Para Olympics, those atlets have the right suport and the taffnes to push through. Great you did as well. ❣
I was told that my hyperrealistic work was something I would "grow out of" as I grew as an artist. I don't see that happening, because I love the attention to detail. But I love incorporating surrealism into my work, and had my son help "collab" with me by letting him color on my beautiful graphite with a red crayon. It was intentional and healing to let go of the perfection and watch him scribble on my work. Maybe I will scribble on my own work one day.
I've worked as a Scenic Artist in the theatre for decades and my personal work has always leaned to detailed inks and small scale controlled pieces. As I've evolved as an artist, I find it exciting to use some of the broad and spontaneous elements of theatrical paint with my newest works. Keep pushing those boundaries.
I started out with realism because I had OCD and perfectionism and there was a pride in drawing a portrait that looked exactly like the reference. Then I discovered your channel and learned about references just being a guide and allowing my own touch to place marks where they needed to be and allowing myself to express an idea with out needing it to be exactly 1-1. Then I discovered modern art, and how it’s stripping away everything and taking it just to the basic shapes and allowing with simplicity to express the idea . And then I fell in love with Mark Rosco. His paintings are viewed with deep emotion. And now I’m back to realism using all of the less lessons. I’ve learned to create a piece that is uniquely my voice.
Thank you so much for adding substance to the art world, your work provokes both thought and emotion . Something I don't see a lot these days. Well done , and best wishes.
My mom painted fairly loosely, it irked me as a child because I could see the detail. Doting every I and crossing every T was very satisfactory, so I have painted that way because it is satisfying to me. But along the way I’ve seen some artworks that have taken my breath away, abstraction! So I find the pleasure of exploring it, bokeh in photography, the marbling of water, they are like deep sighs of tranquility. However my challenge now is my palette. Having always loved vibrant colours, 🤔🤔🤔. But I will never stray from detail, I just get tired and need an alternative area of exploration. I’ve learnt a lot from working in a group, and seeing things from other peoples perspective. Gaining respect for the way other people see is very refreshing and eye opening.
I am an artist and my genre is Impressionism realism. I did travel down an abstract path around five yrs ago and learned quite a bit of interesting techniques that can enrich your existing practices. It is never a waste of time to experiment with different creative applications.
I would love to see your abstract work! Have always admired and appreciated the surrealism in your approach as a marriage of realism and pure expression. Hearing you talk about abstract drawing sounds like a very exciting development in your conceptual framework. ❤
Hello Jono, I have watched your progress for many years and it made me smile that you have been trying new things. The last few years I have been playing with art and painting trying to find my style after picking up a brush after 30 years. As a self taught painter, I was drawn to realism and didn't understand abstract and "modern art". I love victorian gothic and have always been attracted to it though I thought there was no market for it. I was working on a painting and struggled with a porcelain skintone and out of my dispair I painted over it started something completely different, combined realism with an abstract background and I found my style. I really enjoy combining the two techniques and it does give me more avenues to explore. You don't lose the realism you strive for. It adds another dimension to make the work interesting. I hope you try and find that you can combine the two techniques and come out with something pretty amazing. 👍😄
Wow! I really loved this! I come from a very small town in the north of Sweden. No one I knew worked with art or read books for that matter. I started with realistic water colours and sketching models. I went to drawing portraits and painting small strange enlarged things from flowers or things I found - all in water colours in my 30s. It was too boring, so i started to read old books about egg oil tempera and made my own colours for a while. Too boring! Read about oil painting, how to do it correctly chemically. It was in my late 30s. Had some small exhibitions and rented a studio. Painted in strong colours, big abstract paintings, some portraits and enlarged parts of things - all in strong colours. Today I am 72 and I still love to paint in strong colurs - abstracts, portraits, plants. I have also been inspired by you to try pencil in a more free way!
I love absteact drawing or mixed media and I also love when artist are expirementing with new thinks, it is like a new room to visit. I really hope you do this video. I, for sure, would love to see it. I am multicreativ, doing just one "kind of art" never works for me. I need different projects and I never do the same twice, I creat not reproduce. Thank you for sharing. May I recomend Lydia Broderik (artist here on youtube) she is able to combine realistic oil paintings with breathtaking atmosphere and abstract painting, I love here style.
I've been having a great time lately doing landscape sketches, primarily in ballpoint and dark ink markers. I use those because most of the time I'm doing cartooning, but with landscapes, the combination leads me in an abstract direction; I only carry a few colors in ballpoint, so when I start using them, I'm trying to tame the extreme ends of the color spectrum just to get it somewhere near what I see. And the markers, when working at the scale of a pocket sketchbook, create a battle to make the values work, once which is heavily dependent on the line weight they're capable of, and dry brushing effects.
I have admired your ability to create the hyper realistic drawings, but what draws me in is the abstract way you create the textures in your drawings. What you are putting on paper may seem realistic to most people, but if you get in close and look at the minute details that is what makes the drawing seem realistic. Let me say it this way, at 15-20 ft I look at one of your drawings and go "wow, that's cool", very realistic. But at 12-15 inches I'm like" WOW, this is so cool", the detail is amazing,. I want to pull up a chair and just crawl through the piece inch by inch. Thank you for sharing the process, both in your mind and on the paper.
Yes, lets see what comes out of your unknown self. You have an amazing technic and experience so when you let go of control, whatever will be in control has an amazing chanel.
This video popped up at just the right time for me. I am revisiting a form of abstract drawing that I started playing with in the 80's. I believe there is nothing wrong with having a couple directions to go with a medium. I would love to see some of you abstract work.
YES i have always loved your work, but as i often work in the abstract it can frequently feel disconnected. You always inspire me and get me in the mood to create, keep on smashing it!
Enjoy your new direction. The interesting thing for me is language and perceived limitations. All art is abstracted if you look closely. All art is representational even if it is emotional landscapes that are being represented. Why do our minds need to classify? When the flow has you ride the wave 🌞
I am primarily a realist painter, but increasingly embrace abstraction in various ways. At first it was a realization that I want my paintings to communicate something more or different from a copy of a reference. What is the point of making a painted copy of a photo, or even a painted copy of a fully posed life reference that would be much easier to replicate with a camera? Rather, I use my mind and hands to combine references, perspectives, colours and focus points into something new. I also embrace brush marks, random textures, drips etc wherever they do not interfere with the ideas I am focused on conveying. But recently I have found my curiosity about abstraction has taken a step further, as my subjects are increasingly large and complex scenes full of repeating natural textures that are actually quite abstract in nature. Although the whole is realistic, and I lose myself for hours and weeks rendering tiny details, they're really automatic, abstract repetitive motions.
Do what you love and what makes fun. Its a good idea to get more "experience" "natural" process in art. Art is not about perfection or realismn. You are so incredible
I do charcoal hyper realism but I also have been looking at more abstract type of art... I have never been a huge fan of abstract art, but it really adds something when it is combined with realism. One of my favorite artists besides you that I follow is "Mad charcoal"... He does very loose, abstract charcoal drawings with realistic faces... He is also very fast, which is also something I am trying to work on with my hyper realism, trying to figure out ways I can go faster when making my art.
I’ve been doing hyper realism for 5 years now and have only recently been thinking about how to take my art to the next level. I’m not sure why, but I feel drawn to the idea of including abstraction into my drawings and creating a sort of “surrealism” as you said in the beginning of the video. I’m unsure of how to even start going about that and what that might look like. All that to say is I strongly share your idea of letting go of the “structure” and allow yourself to be more fluid.
I started learning hyper-realism in 2020. Ironically it was directly because of your piece "Discomposure". I found it online and began following your work here on YT. Your media assisted me with what I could add to the tools I already had (300gsm watercolor paper, graphite and charcoal). My first piece took about 20 hours to complete and was a 22in. x 30in. portrait of Patrick Mahomes. I was fortunate to meet his mother who I passed the portrait drawing along to as a gift for Patrick Mahomes during his college Hall of Fame induction. I later got to personally create and hand a portrait to Texas Tech University Hall of Famer Michael Crabtree as well. Since then I have averaged 45 commissions a year, in many different mediums. I recently had to slow commissions to a crawl to concentrate on other forms of art, like abstract (and street art). Same as you, I haven't understood much of it in the past and have been skeptical to it being legal money laundering in some big money cases. But there is always work that I appreciate and it inspires me to learn more about it along with color (my nemesis). Thank you for your video's and sharing your journey as I have learned so much from each one. I always look forward to what you have in store next. We live vicariously through you.
After achieving moderate competence at tight focus realism, I lost interest in "copying" photos. I took one more step and lost interest in copying reality. If I want a copy of reality, I use a camera. Overnight I became an abstract painter. To me it feels an order of magnitude more expressive and creative than realism. And in over ten years no one has said to me "I thought it was a photo!"
i took a break from realism. Instead of working for hours to get that photorealistic effect, I grab a charcoal stick and start working with it without thinking of perfection.
¡Bravo! An artist should explore, experiment, go beyond one's familiar boundaries. I love both abstract and representational art, I do both depending on the subject matter, and mood, and medium. IMO Abstract art is far more difficult because you have to use your entire cache of artistic knowledge, skill, imagination, and experience to create a work of art.
I wish @I could work more abstractly, but my brain just won’t let me work really loose and free, too stuck in the mindset everything has to look as perfect as possible. but i am trying to at least get looser when sketching, so hopefully that will help with bigger works
I really want to see one of your abstract works! I went from drawing realism (I'm far below your level) to painting abstract because I thought it would be fun and it looked easy. I have been painting primarily abstract for almost two years now and it's not easy. I'm happy to see that you are exploring abstract and look forward to seeing some of yours one day.
Check out these three abstract painters. They have found a way to embrace chaos and randomness in their process yet it yields artworks that are actually beautiful. - Flora Yukhnovich - Yoram Raanan - Jaison Cianelli
the way I see it, the "magic of realism" during the Renaissance was just the mathematical defining of perspective creating a window to show tangible objects that people could relate more to because they are accurate to their own perspective. This was used to give form to things of great significance to people in and around that era. A lot of it was religious, so you got your white Jesus and stuff, and a lot of that carried over towards subsequent Christian societies, and made the work more profound in the eyes of some. I really do think we over-emphasize how impressive the era really was. These people weren't special in any way, Dante's Inferno is a poem written by some Italian guy malding over the spread of Islam while masturbating to the thought of heretics in hell. This makes sense because he was living in the dark ages while Muslims were just coming off the cuff of the Islamic golden age, so that must have really sucked for him.
Jono I 'm make a book what kind of hyper realism pic that could be the cover I want to use your kind of shades in color I got three deferent kinds of plants the plants are monkshood, ephedra, then Siberian ginseng the animals they are a deer mouse, horned owl, and a head of a snake my book is called the six tails from the horned owl this I 'm make is a Val 3 book what kind of in pen color pencell or pant to show I'm getting good at shading if that is a funny thing
Interesting...the guy on the miniature looks "somehow" like Author Neil Gaiman known for "The Sandman" comic books and TV series for Netflix on the right side of the miniature there is a half naked man that looks like the fictional character of "Joker" played by Joaquin Phoenix in the 2019 movie by Todd Philips Now let's examine the Lies of the Devil here shall we, Here we have another MK Ultra Inception subliminal induced ideas that you believe I am a "Wizard" of some sort that can travel different dimensions or that I am an anarchist violent man bent on Revenge. I am sorry to tell you that both are Lies. Peace Next
I explored abstract in 2007/2008, and I have also learned hyperrealism... And learning that neither of them were my thing. So I just do minimal-detailed drawings. Capture likeness of subject as much as I can, and then do minimal-detail, intentionally making my drawings look like they're drawn and unrealistic looking rather than the illusion of a photograph/real life.
I was a graphic designer so exactness was key. then I did pencil portraits for 4 months and succeeded but got bored. Then I went to gelli printing which is no need for control. It is just play. Then I incorporated gelli prints (through collage) into mixed media paintings, combining figure drawing with abstracted backgrounds.

That is how art works, imo, take somthing and make something your own style. Influenced but not copy.
Can't wait to see you're abstract drawings
Love to see the process that you are about play with....
Thank you so much for adding substance to the art world, your work provokes both thought and emotion . Something I don't see a lot these days. Well done , and best wishes.

You can combine realism and abstract art too. They do well together and the result can astonish you at the end, believe me.

You're so talented 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 and i really love Your artwork, your artwork is so stunning 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Started (in earnest) in 2020. Focus on graphite realism/hyperrealism. Also self-taught. *your my favorite graphite artist.
i took a break from realism. Instead of working for hours to get that photorealistic effect, I grab a charcoal stick and start working with it without thinking of perfection.
What brand kneadable eraser do you use? Every brand I’ve tried so far are too soft and it’s really frustrating.
¡Bravo! An artist should explore, experiment, go beyond one's familiar boundaries. I love both abstract and representational art, I do both depending on the subject matter, and mood, and medium.

I did hyper realistic art for a long time. Then I shifted to abstract. It changed everything.
Can we get a video tour about your art studio ?
Check out these three abstract painters. They have found a way to embrace chaos and randomness in their process yet it yields artworks that are actually beautiful.

…I’m looking forward…👍
1st like from india ❤
very brave!
I wish I can visit ur studio
📍CPT aswell
🤌🏼🤌🏼🤌🏼
This seems to be the natural progression for every realistic artist I follow.
👍🏼
A reprieve. It is nice to just turn loose in between hyper realism
i am also an sketch artist
👌🏻👌🏻
the way I see it, the "magic of realism" during the Renaissance was just the mathematical defining of perspective creating a window to show tangible objects that people could relate more to because they are accurate to their own perspective. This was used to give form to things of great significance to people in and around that era. A lot of it was religious, so you got your white Jesus and stuff, and a lot of that carried over towards subsequent Christian societies, and made the work more profound in the eyes of some. I really do think we over-emphasize how impressive the era really was. These people weren't special in any way, Dante's Inferno is a poem written by some Italian guy malding over the spread of Islam while masturbating to the thought of heretics in hell. This makes sense because he was living in the dark ages while Muslims were just coming off the cuff of the Islamic golden age, so that must have really sucked for him.

I explored abstract in 2007/2008, and I have also learned hyperrealism... And learning that neither of them were my thing. So I just do minimal-detailed drawings. Capture likeness of subject as much as I can, and then do minimal-detail, intentionally making my drawings look like they're drawn and unrealistic looking rather than the illusion of a photograph/real life.
