For those who are wondering what I'm listening during the work I share a weekly updated playlist on spotify: open.spotify.c...
Starting to create art has nothing to do with time or a right moment. It's a kind of tuning into a certain awareness.
Thank you for your weekly communication of philosophy, process and thought provoking ideas. You not only provide a glorious affirmation to other painters but also manage to put into words some of the felt but unspoken things we battle daily. I am grateful for your generosity.
Titus, I wanted to mention that I quite like the "video interludes" and that they have a kind of "soft focus". By video interludes what I mean are the short passages of videos of various things like your window, or lunchtime, or tea, or something happening outside that are unrelated to the paint or paintings. By soft focus I mean that they don't really have a subject or center of focus that is very clear or very very sharp. The combination of these things in your videos really helps me to connect to your world, your day, and that those things are not rushed, feel pressured, or sharp is nice to enjoy and feel a part of. Gives me the feeling to begin paintings so thank you!
Your videos are always helpful to me. Thinking about distractions and negative thoughts particularly resonated. I suppose these things are common in a creative endeavor and we falsely believe they are particular to just ourselves. Thank you again for giving us “fruit for thought”.
A wonderful video Titus. One where you open your daily life for other eyes to see. Watching you paint brings many lessons. A big one for me this week is that you paint on the paper, it dawns on me that I paint in my pallet. I get my colors in my pallet and just want to go hard & heavy on the paper. I loved watching you work your paint on the paper. Adjusting a shadow or maybe enhancing the depth of your clouds. It’s amazing to watch, it’s amazing what you leave for your viewers to think about with your thoughts, your perspective of handling inside distractions within me. I guess we all have them but to hear how you see them, name them and move forward with your painting. A price can’t be put on what I learn from you in these videos. Stay well!🙏🏼🫶
Yes, I know what you mean "painting on the pallet." Don't be afraid to paint on the paper. You will feel free doing that
spot on So often happened, even the next day thought " have I really done this, bit scared to start again and work on it." Thank you Titus
Thank you Titus. This channel is very good for my mental health. I have been feeling lately that the TH-cam algorithm amps up my more negative tendencies. It shoves the unhealthy things my way. Finding and watching your videos allows me to breath and remember that everything will be ok.
When I woke up this morning my first taught was today a new video will come up from my favorite modern European artist. It's usually Saturday mornings it comes up here, which is still Friday evening in Europe. So I start my mornings every Saturday by watching your new video while I'm having my breakfast. 🙂 Thanks from Australia!
From one Aussie to another... we both have the same Saturday morning thoughts
@@beautifully_wonderfullymade Yeah 😎😀
🖼️ what I have is an impression that your brush tells you where to go and só there is wonderful communication betweem the artist and his work and that!🖌️
Another sublime life lesson. Thank you, Titus.
Магична атмосфера, прекрасен глас, хубавото ти умно лице, ръката следваща ума и очите ти, картините, които ме карат да се чувствам все едно съм там, здрачът в ателието ти, погледът през прозореца, къдриците, твоят език на тялото... Всичко това толкова ми допада, както и откровения разговор, че искам да не свършва. Пълноценно прекарано време, стоплящо душата. Нирвана, не,TITUS🧙♀️
The Arts offer the ability of a recreational moment. The word is often used loosely such as a pass time or hobby. But a real edifying recreational moment recharges my batteries “recreates” to be able to move on to the next level, the sense of accomplishment although it indeed could be our employment. Thank you!😊
A great privilege to watch this. Thank you.
In the first picture, the little bits of sunlight you put on the side of the trees really made them look 3-D...hope you're enjoying the Rick Rubin book.
Love your philosophy on art and life. Your so inspiring and helpful. Your years of commitment to your art is so evident in your thoughts and your work. Look forward to your next video.
hank you, Titus, for sharing your thoughts with us. Very helpful, in deed.
Thank you for sharing your insights, techniques and beautiful paintings with us. You are truly an inspiration. And you talk openly about things that all artists can relate to, young or old, amateur or professional, new or seasoned.
I appreciate how much time and energy it must take out of a very busy schedule to produce, edit and put together these amazing videos. I look forward to next week.
My pleasure Michael!
When I was a beginner , I would paint and forget to eat and drink , but now I always have some coffee or wine on hand ! LOL
Thanks for the video !
Titus I just love your work it really speaks to me. I have painted most of my life but never had the time to really get into it. One side of my family ate Dutch and it was my first language so it fees so comfortable hearing your accent , like coming home. Thank you so much for sharing.
Love it and your musings go deep my brother.
Thank you for your advice on dealing with the dark side of being an artist....love your videos and thoughts.
I just love these life lessons in art. I stopped for too long. Now I know better what I missed but am working again.
Thank you 4 sharing the process from the painting of the white office building!
Happy to see, that you have found a solution for how you wanted it to be! 🎉👏🏻🎉
Awesome message. I think I will carry this over into my guitar playing. Thanks.
"new moment," perfect
your words at the beginning made lot of sense to me. something I needed to hear to move forward
The more l watch you painting, the more I like it!
Exactly. Even if I might be insecure about certain aspects of a motif I start painting. Just by indulging into the process problems solve themselves. The focus shifts the more you learn about the picture. Just go for it is the way. And if I mess it up I learned enough for the next round…
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! Enjoying your insight🎨
A really enjoyable and stimulating video Titus. It is lovely to be able to enjoy - celebrate and give thanks to artists and their work in the now and while they are living rather than in memorial as so often history belatedly documents them . Thank you - Best wishes & Happy painting Titus !
You are a very inspiring watercolor artist, I'd like to know if you can make a video of a whole painting tutorial using your beautiful technique. your cityscape paintings are magnificent. 🙏
Thank you for your videos, your generosity, it helps me a lot in improving my painting. You learn me so much about watercolor. You also have a quiet way to practise which is very relaxing, king of a yoga painting lesson! Thank you and please keep on giving your precious advices.
Congratulations you are wonderful artisti l fell in love with the way you stroke the brush in the canva very smoothy,thanks for sharing your masterpiece.from the 🇧🇷

Realizas hermosas obras de arte, desde Puebla México espero tu próximo video....🇲🇽🇲🇽...
¿Verdad que si? Muestra la vida real de un artista y el esfuerzo que se necesita para seguir haciéndolo cada día. Es muy diferente a otros videos de TH-cam. Saludos de su vecina del norte en los Estados Unidos.😊
მადლობა...Thank you.
I really love your watercolor style. When I attempt it, it always looks dirty and splotchy. I can paint very well in Oil, but watercolor....I just do not get the handling right.
What is your paper? I love listening in and watching…
❤

C’est beau
parce que je me préoccupe de toi.
( tous les jours..)
11:37 Is this Rick Rubin's book "The Creative act"? How do you like it so far?
Did you already read the book of Rick Rubin? Its great! Thank you for your weekly insights, I love to watch your process and hear your thoughts about making art.
Yes, I'm halfway through and I love this book.
Thank you for your valuable insites into painting this is helping me to settle down to paint first thing in the day.
I now realise the fear and critical mind was getting in my way.
I am now putting my painting first as thats what i really wanted to do.
Could you please tell me the size and name of the large brush you are using .I am finding it difficult to find one that suits me because there are no art supply shops near me to be able to see what i am buying.
Best wishes Lynda
Hi Lynda I'm using the Da Vinci Casaneo 498 size 8
Thank you so much for letting me know about the brush
I look forward to all your videos i have watched them all
I have learned so much about being an artist its given me confidence to just paint
Best Wishes
I hung my art work last night, and, the glass fell out and broke in half a few hours after.
Erg verleidelijke afleiding om jou aan het werk te zien en dan niet met mijn eigen schilderwerk verder te gaan. 😊👍
How do I order your book?
Love these videos.
that voice is bad news. i hear it all day long
Meditation
Yes this is great but we as the audience cant learn much. As we dont see your process from start to finish. I personally think you need to break free of your restraints and just splash some paint around.
Est-ce que tu penses que je peux ( peindre )
« mon amour.. » désolé ✨🌝
Thank you
