Chris!! Me being a colorist, this painting sang for me!! Yowza Yowza Yowza!!! Colour is everything for me. I LOVED how this painting was going several times, especially when it was looser and the colours were just leading me into the painting with shapes, but not so clearly defined shapes as near the end. But I know that's just me. I'm so glad you posted this and tomorrow I'll definitely be dragging these colours out to use in a painting. Your colours were placed where they worked so well together and morphed into a symphony. Excuse my blabbing away - your painting TOTALLY fired me up!! Thanks again for posting this Chris! 😊 .
Thanks, Pam! I'm so glad this fired you up!🔥 I know exactly what you mean about the looser moments this painting had. I'm actually going to be working on some large canvases based on that look. Drag those colors out! 😊
Hi Chris, I see how you worked your self back to your usual style and shapes! I do the same. The best part is when you are just having fun! I struggle with this too. Going completely wild and leaving and coming back was the most fun. Give it a try!
Chris! Fundamentally, this could be the most important video you’ve recorded to date. I’ve learned so much from watching, but mostly from listening. Thanks as always, for inspiring me to keep going, to see more, to feel more, when I face the canvas. You have lifted me up my friend, yes!
Appreciate your method to "just go for it." Asking "What If?" is a concept, I would like to try. My inner critic paralyzes my creativity . . . so I am going to let my idea of a cotton field blow in the wind.
Your paintings invite extensive scrutiny. I love that the various shapes remind, yet confuse, until I accept the enigmatic beauty of the whole. This is what I strive for, and you pull off every time - very good work, Chris.
I liked this very much. I hope you keep sharing your work. I wish you had a class. you are very good at explaining your work. I have many questions for you and don't know where to go to ask. Keep painting so I can keep learning. Peace
Thanks so much, Summer! I don't have any plans to stop-it's too much fun 😊. I'm so happy to hear you are getting something out of these videos. You can ask me question in the comments and I would be happy to answer. I've also had people direct message me on Instagram with questions. @chrisloudart
So wonderful to see and hear your process. I appreciate it. Regarding orientation, at 11:04 I noticed/liked the “baby in basket with gifts to the left.” But I’m in a grandfather mood.
Love watching these. Sometimes I see a specific object in the shapes..to me the first orientation looks like an animal, so I probably wouldn’t use that. Not sure. Also question, do you use fixative on the charcoal before adding paint?
Very cool work…live it!!! I was wondering, when you used charcoal for mark making in the beginning, I noticed it did not smudge when painting over it! I assumed charcoal would…can you clarify that for me? Thank you for your time and it’s awesome watching you paint and create!!!
Thanks, Diane! That's a great question. I believe in this painting I sprayed a workable fixative over the charcoal prior to adding paint. Sometimes I will lightly brush a gel medium over any marks that I don't want to smudge as an alternative, but that takes a little longer to dry. Hope this helps.😊
Such a great tutorial I had to watch & listen twice, & I have a feeling I'll be revisiting this one frequently. Well done & thanks!
Thanks so much, Karen! I'm so happy to hear this was helpful 😊

I like your "What if??" and the way you play and just have fun! 🎨👍
Thank you, Ann!
I love how fearless your strokes are. Its so freeing 😊
Thanks so much, Miss Betsi!

Hey Mary! Yeah, it's funny how we always pull back to what's comfortable. I see that with a lot on my work.
I appreciate this kind of technique. Just if I do this or that. No pressure. Just enjoying the all process. Thanks for share your wisdom with us 😊
Thanks, Susana!❤️ I'm a big fan of "no pressure" painting. Keeps it fun and playful.

Thanks, Susie! I'm so glad this video resonated with you so much❤️
Thank you. I loved your video and the painting🤗🤗🤗
Thanks so much, Vesna!

Thanks, Dee! It's not always easy to give in to it, but once you do it can really help develop your creativity 🖌️🎨

Thank you so much, Ann!
I saw so many things before. Still looking great.
Thanks, Grozda!
Fun to watch your process--thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much, Pam!
Looks like an old time radio without knobs , a pare and some jars ....lol...
It really does have the look of an old time radio! 📻
What a fun painting… I love it!
Thanks, Martha!
I love this painting!
Thank you so much, Karen!😊
Thank you Chris for your demo, im undecided of which orientation I like best, but I like it and it would look good bigger too! Cheers!
Thank you so much!
@@chrisloudart you're welcome, thank you for the videos. Cheers!

Thank you, Nilda!❤️
So great watching you work the shapes, and to see how much it changes with different colors and marks. Thanks Chris!
Thanks so much, Kathy!
So wonderful to see and hear your process. I appreciate it. Regarding orientation, at 11:04 I noticed/liked the “baby in basket with gifts to the left.” But I’m in a grandfather mood.
Thanks, Bob! I hadn't noticed that, but I can definitely see the baby in the basket.
Nice work. Always great to hear the commentary as well
Thanks, Richard!
Love watching these. Sometimes I see a specific object in the shapes..to me the first orientation looks like an animal, so I probably wouldn’t use that. Not sure. Also question, do you use fixative on the charcoal before adding paint?
Thanks, Denise! I did spray a fixative on the charcoal before I painted. I forgot to mention that in the video.😊
I like it
Thank you!
I believe this work is finished.
Thanks, Kris! I still haven't done anything more to it, so I think that means I agree with you😊

@@chrisloudart thank you for your reply, it helped! Warm greetings from Canada!
You're very welcome. Greetings from Colorado!
Loved watching all the changes, layers. Tbh. I cant like that Pink Blob. 😅
Thanks, Patricia! Well, I guess the pink blob can't win 'em all 😂
Chris it's done but I'd like a little energy , looking good , but not done , your friend Linda Bailey from Corpus Christi Texas
Hey Linda! Thanks for your feedback! 😊
I don’t have tools.
You don't need them. Brushes work just fine, or you can use cardboard. It's amazing what you can do with a piece of cardboard.🙂
@@chrisloudart I used my fingers….in a mixed media book. I think I need that spray you showed us but I didn’t catch the name.
Are you referring to the fixative spray? If so, this is what I use - amzn.to/442Diey
