How to Paint Emotional Distress Using Color and Directional Brush Strokes in Acrylics
ฝัง

- Using art to express feelings can be very cathartic. Although we usually avoid painting images with strong negative emotions, science shows that releasing negative feelings on canvas can be helpful and have a positive effect on lifting our mood.
In this Van Gogh-style painting, we have a crashing ocean wave encroaching on the shore, with a man sitting out on a patio who's about to be overwhelmed by sudden doom, yet he calmly sits there awaiting his fate. This painting will tell a different story to each viewer, from negative feelings about global warming to a subconscious feeling of impending disaster.
While not a great subject for a Christmas card, this painting will be a conversation starter to those who dare to paint it.

Ginger, this is the type of painting I usually stand in front of at a museum for the longest time, soaking in the emotions the artist is conveying. Yours is very emotional and thought provoking. I am in love with your little field mouse, he is just adorable, can’t wait to see him posted. I’ve been really enjoying seeing all your recent paintings you have been doing, especially the color schemes and the backgrounds, the palette knife work is great too, gives the paintings new dimensions to it. As always, thank you and Jon and your stuffy staff for all the great work you do for us.💗💗💗
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.
Wow Ginger! Thank you for painting this. No unsub here… I love it! It’s recording the times and emotions of our surroundings at this time… Isn’t that what some art is about & for?? History.
Recordings to change our thinking of the harder times… And seeing a future in a better place.
I love how you see and paint the under layers of color as you paint.
You’re awesome at teaching the feeling of…❤️🥰
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.
Love this painting! It has mood, mystery, drama and a story, starting it now. The different mixes of techniques... Brilliant. I think Vincent would love this too. You have such a nice mix of styles and moods of painting. Thank you, Jon, Moderators, and team for Mondays and more we appreciate your time....!
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.
See? I didn’t view this as negative, but rather a reminder that not everyone lives in a happy place all the time. I saw a man who is all alone and is going through some very difficult things in life, but is staying calm on the outside even though life is raging with pain.
I saw it as positive because we all go through events, and also a reminder to love all even in those times.
thank you and that was very well thought out. I appreciate the positive comment.
I am amazed at how many different styles you design for us! It is so enjoyable to try something different. I look forward to trying this one!
Hey thanks for the positive comment and appreciate the feedback.
Love this painting!!! Please paint more paintings like these, more impasto Van Gogh style would be amazing.

I love this painting. Thank you for sharing 💫🍷🖼️
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.
Beautiful and perfect for me rn. I feel this in my grief.
thank you and I wish you better times ahead.
I like this painting. Painting can be therapy. I’ve suffered from depression since my son passed away 15 years ago.
Painting can be therapy for sure. Happy Art Hugs (HAH)
from Jon and me.
Love the apples and the Kitchen .. coming up .. will be getting on board with them .. today's painting shows us some great techniques esp your way with waves .. Hahs
the apples are fun and a bite-size tutorial too. Love the kitchen myself, and loved teaching it too.
Ginger, this is fabulous! I love the broodiness and mystery involved in this painting! You are so talented! Thanks for expanding our minds and giving us a different perspective. ❤
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.
I love watching you paint this. I might just try it
YES AND YES
The black frame is super ♥
Yes frames really make a difference and set the mood too.
Really like this one and also the one coming up can’t wait thanks ginger ❤️❤️❤️
Yay! Thank you!
I enjoyed watching you paint this, I love watching you paint everything but I really miss your ODG paintings you used to do. Seems it is a lot of AI and pallet knife paintings, but I get that is what the younger crowd is in to right now. I do love what is coming up for red members. Thank you for all you do for us and teaching us so many ways to paint.
We have a lot of the Old master works for our red and purple members on the website. Lots of our wave and water are ODGs too. We just do not get many views for these on TH-cam as people percieve them to be too difficult. Also I have done most of the "easy ones " I could find. but as a red member you can sure pick an ODG on your own and send it in for help and personal art coaching. www.paintingwithginger.com and here is where you find listings for the ODGs. www.acrylicpaintingwithgingercook.com/old-masters-odg-subcategory-list/
I love this Ginger xx
Hey thanks for the positive comment and appreciate the feedback.
Ginger, tonight's painting is so dramatic in subject and color. For me, this is a tutorial I'll have to watch a few times to get the feel of it, you make it look so easy. Thank you Ginger and Jon for sharing your Monday with us. TTFN HAH 🖌🎨🫶
I think why you break down the steps you will find it is an easy tutorial to follow. Art hugs, from Jon and me.
So cool!
Hey thanks for the positive comment and appreciate the feedback.
A very different lesson that I love....not sure if I will try, will be a real stretch for me but I guess that is what you are teaching us....how to stretch our artistic muscles and expand our styles to keep things interesting!
We have so many different tutorials that you could paint for 10 years and still find something fun to paint. I love your horse painting from our tutorial Chief. It was so well done.
WOW
I really enjoyed this painting. So very emotional & thought provoking.
Each half could be painted on seperate canvases and displayed together.
I'm a little confused about the floor? beach? on the buttom left... but that's what makes it thought provoking...
Very Cool!
When I saw the sneak preview posted in the afternoon I was expecting more palette knife but You got that look with brushwork & magic WOW WOW
Love It!
I will try to work one into my "to do" list. Summer / Garden season takes all my free time to paint.
Thank you for all you do.
I think it would look amazing larger too. Thanks for the kind and supportive words.
This is very interesting. It’s amazing what a great job you did on your rendition of the original. I’m really drawn to light in paintings…very pretty.
Happy that you did such a different piece from your usual. It’s always interesting watching it all come together. Thanks for doing what you do!
Love and best wishes to you and Jon. 😊
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.

Ah don’t pay me any mind. Lol. I Watch your tutorials almost constantly since I found you and “my Sherpa” haha. I’m either watching hers or yours, and I try to always comment on the tutorials cuz I feel like it’s important for you fine artists to get feedback. ❤️
Thank you Ginger and Jon for bringing us so many different moods of paintings. It was very interesting and satisfying watching you bring this all together. The results are stunning!!
Our pleasure! Happy Art Hugs (HAH)
from Jon and me.
For me it looks like a paintingstyle of letting go ans paint very loose. I am going te give it a try. Thank you so much ❤ nicole
Thank you Jon and I hope you have fun with this.
sorry I missed the live class. I love this painting!
Thank you! Cheers!
I love this painting! It is so dramatic and interesting. I was fascinated while watching how you layered this, and brought this painting to life. It is such an amazing work of art. Thank you so much Ginger for bringing us so many different styles of painting which expand our knowledge. Thank you both for all that you do for us. You are both amazing.
Didn't get to say, hope you are feeling better and on the mend!
I know you were not feeling well. I hope you are better. Monday nights are always more special with you as a moderator. HUgs
Thanks again!! - Elizabeth D.
Hey thanks for the positive comment and appreciate the feedback.
I think this painting is great! I love the dramatic sea and sky and the colours. I love that you are doing something a bit different and encouraging us to put some emotion into our painting and step out of our comfort zone. You mentioned the sky was Van Gogh like, well he was not a stranger to emotional distress, and you totally captured it with your colours and tecniques. Thank you for this Ginger and Jon.
Thank you. That is very encouraging and I appreciate your feedback. It is sometimes hard for us to figure what to put out on TH-cam that will resonate with our viewers. Art hugs from Jon and me.
Is AI preparing for you the reference photo?
We use photo shop, and several different AI programs and iterations to create our paintings. They all start with an idea in my head.
Now I know why he's depressed

Oh Mrs.Ginger, I ❤️the bear in the outhouse painting😊! And the kitchen painting! Love love love!
Thank you! 😊 Its fun to paint something different.
What an AMAZING painting Ginger!! Am totally mesmerized! This painting really evokes different emotions! It is also kind of how I have felt for a while now.... So this painting really speak to me! Thank you!! I know I said it before, but will say it again... I truly appreciate all that you and Jon do for the art community! And I love that you teach us so many different styles, subjects, techniques and so on and on! Stay safe and healthy! Big artsy hugs and much love! 🥰
I debated wether or not to paint this, but we seem to have struck a "cord" with so many artists who are going through their own personal challenges. Art hugs from Jon and me and may happiness and good cheer float into your window with the best days ever.
@@gingercooklive Thank you so much my sweet friends! 🥰
I missed the live...again but I always watch later. Love this painting and the style. Great paintings coming up for the Academy too! I just love the variety you give us. Thank You!
Hey thanks for the positive comment and appreciate the feedback.
I think this was very challenging but I love it. The violent sea approaching a man peacefully sitting at a cafe. Beautiful. Thank you so much . I adore your paintings.
You are welcome, glad you liked it.
Hi Ginger! Hi Jon! So far, I've watched this tutorial 3 times. I feel almost ready to dive in. I have a canvas 80 x80 cm just begging for a good story...this is a great story. If somewhat successful, I'll post on your fb. 😂 Thanks for all you both do. You are gems!❤ -maggie
I look forward to seeing it. That is a great size to do it.
WOW - fabulous. I missed this live but for SURE will be watching and painting this one! Awesome Ginger & Jon!
Jon and I hope you have fun with this. Happy Art Hugs (HAH)
from Jon and me.
Thank you for tackling this subject ❤
Well I debated to do it , but it seems that we have has a lot of artists respond positively and paint it, and share in our FB club or Academy.
Love this painting and lesson! I would love more like this! Thank you!
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.
Andrew Solomon once said "half the purpose of art is to describe such iconic states." He further said Emily Dickinson was able to convey it in language and Francisco Goya in his Black Paintings where he illustrated his empty outlook on mortals. Art in any form would be useless if it didn't speak to anyone. You are a Master Artist Ginger! You have touched so many subjects in life from joy to sadness! Your Art has given me a voice!
thank you so much. I know we cannot please everyone, but I do try to offer a different way each week to build on existing art skills and help people discover their own artistic voice.
Wow Ginger tonight’s painting was amazing. When you paint it looks so easy to follow but that’s because you are a super great artist. Thanks to you and Jon for a beautiful dramatic painting another masterpiece.
Thank you so much 😀
I listened to the replay while I cleaned up my studio. I love the technique in this painting. The emotion is obvious. Im always feeling emotions these days so I keep away from triggers but love the colors and you can always learn something....and Ginger your stories are the best!
Thanks for sharing!!
That’s a fantastic painting,it’s not depressing to me ,beautiful composition and interesting colors too ! And Ginger makes it possible for lots of folks to paint this successfully ! Bravo for the brave decision to paint this one folks !
Thanks so much, your support and kind comments mean a lot. Art hugs from Jon and me.
Very interesting painting. Good job
Thank you! Cheers!
Ginger, I appreciate all the different types of paintings you bring to us. But this is one painting I will never paint.
Thats why we have so many. But watch it anyway and see if you don't learn a bit about layering, and using tape too.
Oh wow what a very interesting and different type of painting!❤
It really is! Jon and I hope you have fun with this.
Love the colors,will diffently try this
Thank you! Cheers!
love your works❤
Thank you so much 😀 Happy Art Hugs (HAH)
from Jon and me.
Why is your conversation and concern about people not liking this painting? This art is REAL! Many of us paint our pain and it's difficult to find tutorials like this that help us do that. Life isn't all flowers and bunnies.
✌️❤️🎨
thank you very much fro saying that. During Covid I did a few of these type of painting on TH-cam and in the Academy. Here is one you might like: th-cam.com/users/liveJN9gX8gOT-8
Thank you! Unfortunately, it says the link is private.
Excellent!
Hey thanks for the positive comment and appreciate the feedback.
I LOVE this! I think there is an audiennce for this type of painting because 'cheery' isn't always possible for them. It certainly defined some of my emotional state recently. Thank you so much for doing this totally unexpected painting. I hope the comments given by others will be kind and supportive.
We have had some very positive comments. and was very pleasantly pleased that this resonated with a lot of our viewers. Happy Art Hugs (HAH)
from Jon and me.
