I LOVE playful art! I recently discovered Paul Klee while teaching my second graders about art. We spent a lot of time recreating our own versions of his work. Now, I'm doing just that in my sketchbook at home. There is so much to Paul Klee to enjoy and discover! Thank you for this lovely video! :)
Thanks, Julie. It's so nice to hear you all had fun. There are a few other videos about artwork made by Paul Klee on my channel. Perhaps they give you even more new ideas. Happy painting, Albert
I enjoy Klee's whimsy, along with Miro's take on art. Both made interesting art. I like the way you cut out the eyes and moved them around. I would not have thought of that. Good video and ways to think about art.
Hi Maureen, thanks. Yes, playful, wonderful. Probably you wouldn't be here otherwise. 😄 I just love Paul Klee, one big treasure trove. Happy painting, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintingsmy wife and I enjoy painting together with acrylics and we do mixed media art projects together. I also am a lead volunteer for a painting with patients program at our local hospital, which I really enjoy.
@@darkcometadventures8801 painting together, wonderful. Thanks for your time spend as volunteer painting in the hospital. I bet a lot of people will enjoy it. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings if you ever have a chance to highlight an abstract artist using the Ebru technique (painting on a water surface), I think that would be very interesting.
Hi DarkComet, ebru sounds interesting. I know of it but never tried it myself. I will look into this, it looks fascinating. Thanks for mentioning. Albert
Thanks, Beth, for your suggestion. But his level of technique and use of color is way beyond mine. I bowed to him or for him because I love what he did. Anyway, thanks for suggesting. Albert P.S. any other abstracr ones you like? 😉
Hi J, thanks. And just do it, it's fun and not complicated at all. Especially the one with the figures with eyes. Go, go go. Painting is also about doing 😇😉 Fijne vakantie, Albert
Thanks, hoomalimali. Indeed, just thought you might start to like the style. Just enjoy all of them. But don't forget to make your versions, just watching is only half the trick, and have fun doing. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings Yes, I'm trying. I'm a lifelong photographer fascinated by the collage environment, it's so informal. Always got students to go out and shoot shoot shoot so understand your advice and appreciate it. You are an inspiration to so many. Thank you, Paul. (when asked about the most important darkroom gear I always said "a big trash bin" and so far that's what I'm finding with my collage attempts but not giving up !)
Making and looking at collage, to me in the beginning, was like making and looking at trash while I was despirately trying to see beauty in it. Until I stopped looking at trash and instead looked at it and expexted to see beauty. I noticed lines, color combinations and so on. I didn't change my doing but my thinking. I was not incompetent but I just had to find a way to look at it in a different way.. I had to find the words or, more accurate, learn a new language for my thinking. Seeing, judging, feeling and playing in this new language helped to grasp the idea of collage. Perhaps you know this from photography and how you developed your skills. Just a thought. Have a great day, Albert
Yes I would love playful art like that of Paul Klee because it tells me that by being playful it can result into something unique, interesting and of course artful. I will do one and discover what I can create out of being playful. Thanks for that video, Im inspired again.
Hi Maria, thanks, also for answering the question. Playfulness is in my opinion an essential element in making art or just painting. It brings an extra quality to the table what also can make that art becomes more approachable. Paul Klee often makes me smile. Happy painting and can you let me know if you succeeded? Albert
Do you ever do anything with watercolor? I’m restricted to water color, colored pencils, pens and pencils. I’d love to see you do something with these tools. I LOVE your videos! They are helpful AND entertaining.
Hi Kathe, thanks. I mainly work with acrylics, I'm used to them and not very familiar with watercolor. Although I love the way you can work with it. I guess you can do most of what I do also with watercolor or pencils. At the moment I have an open invitation to paint: th-cam.com/video/joV5r4KG0GM/w-d-xo.html. This can be done very well with your art supplies and in any size that fits for you. I already have 1 or 2 watercolor works received and also 1 with pencils. I can't teach you watercolor techniques but creatively I guess you can find a lot to keep you busy. The coming video is about drawing but in a different way. What a coincidence. 😁 Happy (watercolor) painting, Albert
Thanks Albert for this lesson . I like Paul Klee’s art and how you bring his playfulness through your instruction. How about doing one on Alberto Magnelli? Check him out and let us know what you think of heart. Stay safe.
Hi Salim, thanks. Yes, full of play this Paul Klee, I love it. Your suggestion of Magnelli is also very interesting. You keep coming with new names, thanks. There are so many interesti6 artists. I've added his name to my list, already a long list. Now I only have to choose. Stay safe, Albert
I'd love to be able to paint playfully. Unfortunately, every time I try I end up with something far too controlled. Maybe I need to draw with my eyes closed.
Hi Jennifer, I get what you mean. May I suggest to use a bigger brush, a 20 or 40 mm. I noticed i paint more freely when using them. You can't work to detailed but perhaps that also would be better. When gotten used to a bigger brush you will be able work detailed with it. Happy painting, Albert
I love Paul Klee-I really enjoy your way of teaching art-so playful and carefree!
Thanks, Moncho. Art is fun, just start playing. Albert
I love the playfulness you presented. It’s so delightful.
Thanks, Anita, Paul Klee's artwork helps a lot. Albert

@@ImperfectPaintings Thank you, Albert!
I love the freedom and spontaneity of Klee’s work. Mind needs to play. Thank you for showing new ways to approach painting.
Hi Framca, thanks. Yes, Paul Klee is wonderful, I love this man. Enjoy making your own versions. Albert
yes, art is about work and fun! thank you for your instructions dear
Hi Mohamed, thanks. Indeed, without fun being creative isn't interesting. Albert
I enjoy Klee's whimsy, along with Miro's take on art. Both made interesting art. I like the way you cut out the eyes and moved them around. I would not have thought of that. Good video and ways to think about art.
Hi Culture Fan, thanks. The eyes make this painting so much fun. I just love Klee's artwork. Bye, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings art is about creating new way of doing and thinking. variation is a key word to approaching art
I love playful art work. Paul Klee is a favorite of mine and your video did him proud. Thanks for your sharing.
Hi Maureen, thanks. Yes, playful, wonderful. Probably you wouldn't be here otherwise. 😄 I just love Paul Klee, one big treasure trove. Happy painting, Albert
Thank for your amazing videos. We look forward to watching them each week. We love your style and humor. Keep up the good work.
Hi DarkComet, thanks. I really love paul Klee, but I guess you noticed. 😁 Do you both paint as well? I would love to hear. Albert

Your playfulness inspires me to explore my own. Gotta go play now. Thanks so much!
Thanks, Beth, you couldn't bring a bigger compliment. Go play, please. Albert
If you happen to be looking for another artist to teach us about, would like to request a series about painting like Lyonel Feininger.
Thanks, Beth, for your suggestion. But his level of technique and use of color is way beyond mine. I bowed to him or for him because I love what he did. Anyway, thanks for suggesting. Albert
P.S. any other abstracr ones you like? 😉
@@ImperfectPaintings I'll get back to you after I finish your lessons on Kandinsky and Miro!🎨
Haha, homework first. 2👍 Enjoy binging, Albert
Thanks for the video Albert, i really like it. It is funny to look at and my mind said go and do it yourself. Hope now i get my inspiration back😀🙀🤪
Hi J, thanks. And just do it, it's fun and not complicated at all. Especially the one with the figures with eyes. Go, go go. Painting is also about doing 😇😉 Fijne vakantie, Albert
Definitely playful! I love these videos. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Grammy, thanks. Playful is just so much fun, I love it. Happy painting, Albert
You may notice that I just found you & I'm enjoying all your tutorials, they are so well made and informative !

@@ImperfectPaintings I'm with you, Brother!
I love it !! So much interesting to learn .Thank you 🤩
Thanks, Kagi. Enjoy playing around. Albert
I like putting the pieces of cardboard down. It allows you to easily move them around and try different looks.
Thanks, Isusan. Having or knowing options is always nice. Just choose what fits you best. Albert
I love playful artwork, and I really love Klee! Thank you. This was great.
Thanks, Cas. Playful is always fun. Albert
Love the idea of exploring methods of different artists
Thanks Keke, I like it too. It's a nice way to learn too. Albert
I am grateful for your demonstration. You have captured the spirit of his work and way of working so well. The joy is evident.
Thanks Morgan for your kind words, it means a lot to me. It's so much fun to paint in (t)his way. Albert
yes, I like the playfulness in his paintings !
Thanks, Lida, playfulness is a joy in art. Albert
I loves this video so much! Very inspiring. Will try at home
Have fun Marcia. It will turn out nice. Albert
One of my faves I feel soooo in tune with
Thanks, Enrica. I just love Paul Klee, so playful. Albert
Klee is a delight. Another playful artist to look at is Saul Steinberg. He did a lot of work for New Yorker Magazine.
Thanks Carol, Steinberg looks funny. Maybe I will look into him too. Albert
Love this. Playful painting is beautiful.
Hi Maureen, thanks. I totally agree. I love playful, Albert

Good to hear, Enrica. Happy painting, Albert
I just found your clips and they’re great! I believe that playful art is fun and it can also take the pressure off producing something ‘perfect’.
Thanks N, and my point exactly. Just go play and find out what you love to make the next step can be to try to get better. Albert
👏👏👏❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏Thank you so much.
Thanks, MultiCamillaaaa. Enjoy playing like this. Albert
Exceptional video. Thanks for your channel.
Hi Suzanne, thanks. Paul Klee's great art helps also. Albert
Nice.

Had so much fun experimenting with this Thank You Any chance you can do paintings in the style of Jean Michel basquiat?
Hi Steve, thanks and wonderful to hear. Basquiat is on my list, somewhere in the fall, but thanks for the suggestion. Happy painting, Albert

Thanks, Joan.
Not playful, I like more serious painting. Thanks :)
Hi A S, thanks. Next time we do serieus painting, perhaps also fun to do😉 Albert
