  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2024
  • 3 weeks ago I had an idea for a new Abstract / Pop Art Painting!
    Unfortunately, I destroyed the painting!
    In this video, I make a second attempt at an idea that I completely missed the first time!
    Will I finally succeed?
    Title: La Vie Est Belle #2
    I really hope you enjoyed this painting and that it will motivate you and make you want to paint ;)

    Art is about creating and taking risks. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t. Those who laugh at others mishaps are just jealous at the fact that you tried something they don’t have the talent or guts to try. They are never worth your energy ... your pieces deserve that. Try as we might we create what others never dare to dream of. You give inspiration and ideas to those who take risks... and leave the jokers behind

    I would say.... U do so many techniques. Soooooo simple. easy. to follow techniques.
    Dat win u do a new technique. Compare to sum of your older videos. It really not noticable the expound growth of a season artist stretching.
    Now for mi. I would not try such. Because I think how u vanish in certain parts really empowers your painting.
    But this technique at the last cleaning up sum of the leftover paint before it dries. Idk. Idk if the colour threw mi. Or... If I was not open minded enuff from the beginning. Because the neon green did a # on mi.

    I've only been painting abstracts for a few years. I love using lots of layers. Whenever I've gone "too far" on a layer, instead of letting it dry & just adding another layer on top, it goes to the sink & I use the sprayer to spray that layer away & sometimes small parts of the layers below. Doing this creates very interesting results. Now I often do this on purpose instead of only when I'm not happy with a layer. I love how your painting came out! ❤ it would mean the world to me if you looked at my art. I make fluid art paintings too.
