This goes so far beyond art instruction and technique. It's absolutely priceless to hear your moment by moment commentary and critique as you move through the phases of the painting....value, line, shape, colour, marks. More of this, less of that, refine refine, refine et voila!. Thank you so much Pam. This is gold.
One of the best videos I’ve seen of a painting in action. Thanks very much.
Yes, and thank you for being a good instructor making it more fun than just a classroom. I felt like I was at home. In your studio having a pleasent afternoon conversation. Yet soaking up your information. Your voice helped.
I've gleaned
a lot from your teaching abstract painting. Thank you for your detailed explanations for why and how you do different techniques !
Thank you! I learned so much watching you and you make it so safe to play and have fun!!!
Pamela, I scan TH-cam every night for interesting painting demos for inspiration and WOW, I am so glad to have found you! Your commentary into your process helped me rethink my own process. I don't have money to take painting courses and although I am sure you didn't intend for this to be a tutorial, it has been one for me. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GIFT! Keep coloring our world! BTW, I am a new subscriber!
Pamela, you are so inspiring; you have given so much to know that I can do this.Thank you so much for sharing you time and knowledge. Much love and peace Greenwich London UK
I love this, Pamela. I really appreciate you allow the camera to be our eyes, giving us time to linger over areas of the work, without any rush. It's the perfect relaxed pace, especially with your gentle words over-laid on it too 😍
Many thanks - I'm so glad you liked it! Your feedback is most helpful ;)
Hi Pamela. I haven't watched you in a while and it's so nice to see you paint. When i first started painting I loved sitting down and watch you paint. I still do. I haven't seen this one before. It's beautiful. THanks again for sharing.
Awesome!!
I loved this format. Unable to work today due to a bad cold, I was able to get my creative fix by watching you work. Your narration is so calming. The paintings are lovely. I look forward to more videos.
It's totally inspiring to see you working and fascinating to see you tackle every painting. Thank you for your generosity
I could (and probably will) watch this video over and over! Thank you for sharing yourself with me.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it, Shirley!! :)!!
And I don't think I could ever get tired of listening and watching you create AMAZING ART! I learned so much! Thank you for sharing plus the resource info
What an exciting way to paint. You work so intuitively and I feel woken up a bit and it makes me think where my work could go. Thankyou for sharing so much knowledge and experience.
Great enjoyment to watch your art talents, thanks for sharing!
Incredible piece! ! Thank you,thank you for sharing your amazing approach and process to create the strongest paintings, ever!! Thank you
You say you could do this painting for hours, every day. Well I could watch this for hours, every day. So beautiful. Wish I had this talent!
What an amazing way of creating spectacular piece of art
U r very inspirational dear Pam 👍🏻👌🙏
I was having horrible anxiety and insomnia. I happened upon this video and it calmed my brain and made me feel something akin to happy...no...satisfied. I love love love this painting. Thank you!
I agree with Robert William below. What an inspiring video! I appreciate your efforts to share both the painting process and what’s going on inside of you. I love to think of art-especially my own art as a process, but an adventure? How wonderful and fulfilling that thought is. Here we are, so many of us across the world, playing as we work. How privileged we are! But if we are compelled to do this thing called art, then we must do so! What fun and what joy! others who itch to play at art as wel
Hi Ruth! Thank you for your wonderful comment. After painting for so long, I realize there is a time to Play and a time to think - and it's important not to get the two mixed up! Thanks so much! Pam :)
Yes, indeed. Or have to do both at the same time sometimes.
I was going to add that-especially at the beginning of the video-you were dancing!
I watched your video first thing this morning, and now I am inspired for the rest of the day. I have a few paintings to finish and then I am going to do some experimenting! I am eager to use my hands more than I do. I used to be a potter. Thanks for posting this.
By far the best instructional art video I have come across. Thank you!
I watched a guy paint a seascape for two hours, in real time and he never said a word. But your narration makes time laps as enjoyable as real time. Also watching you paint, in itself is inspiring. I love your videos.
Hi Derick! I really appreciate your feedback! Thanks very much for commenting and letting me know 😉
You have really outdone yourself! You have done with acrylic paint what most people would never do in their own home! Has anyone called the Guggenheim? How much are you asking for this treasure? This painting at any price would be a steal!
Aw-it did recently sell -how nice of you to ask! I have more work at www.theartspiritgallery.com if you are interested 🌺
It's the first time I feel closer to abstract painting! I didn't understand how to put different marks, patterns and lines on paper and finally create an awesome painting before watching your video. Your sharing is so valuable to me.
For your comment alone I am grateful to have been able to reach you! Thanks, Zoe!!! Pam :)
Can sense the joy you have doing this and it’s getting binder my skin as well! I’ve not jumped into painting like this but ooooooh la la!!! Txz so much for your generous shares! Jeanne
Many thanks for your comment-please paint!!! 😊👏🏻🎉
I’m completely in awe
Hi Pamela, I just love this painting. Your creativity is amazing. As you had asked about the music, I do prefer just listening to your voice, the way you describe each path of creation without any other interference. Thank you for sharing your beautiful art.
sooooo glad to have found you and thank you !, I've been inspired!!! I just obtained my first acrylics after many years of strictly painting in oils and ,until now, have NOT been impressed with their potential. A new world has been presented to me this day :))
Beautiful, Pamela, just simply beautiful. Watching you work and describe your process is inspiring to me. Thank You
Many thanks, Suzanne! :)
Thank you for sharing your inspirational work and process! I especially appreciate the specific Strathmore Mixed Media paper tip! 🙏❤
You are so welcome!
The act of peeling the tape off of a finished (or almost finished) work is such a satisfying feeling.
Just watched this twice over and I’m sure it won’t be the last time. So many gems! It is rare enough to be able to watch an artist at work. But to be able to hear the artist’s commentary and thoughts on top is an absolute privilege and joy! Please know that your generosity and philosophy of sharing is so valuable and valued. Also: This piece is a triumph Pam!
Thanks so much, Robert! Perhaps I should share that I will occasionally watch it myself to remind myself how much fun this was :) Hope you are doing well and painting lots!! :)
Pam
Pam. Love these paintings and how much fun you are having.
Thanks, Valerie :)!!
?
Thanks very much for your generosity in letting us watch this -- I was amazed at how it took on a whole different 'life' when you exposed it as two panels!
Thank you for doing this video! It's really nice to see and hear you describe your process!!!!! Very nice work !!!!
I want to add that seeing this really inspires me - thank you !!!!
Many thanks, Deborah!! :)
I love the looseness and spontaneity in the way you worked on this piece. It was not only meditative for you to do but for me to watch. I also appreciate the limited color palate and the limited tools and extensive use of your hands. Thanks for so generously sharing Pam!
Thank you so much Jill! I really appreciate your comment 🙌💐
Watching and listening to the evolution of your painting is truly fascinating. Thank you for letting us peek into your world!
Thanks very much for your interest and for taking the time to comment! Cheers! Pam ;)
I see a laundromat! The circles look like the machines to me. I can see a mother waiting for her clothes to be done, sitting next to her child, who is standing, in the lower left hand corner. I see more people standing doing their laundry in the upper right hand corner. I absolutely love this!
Pam, your work is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing your process.
Thank you so much!
Thanks everyone for all your generous comments. You let me know you are out there and you make it so much more fun to share - just knowing you are there means so much to me :) Thanks everyone ❤️❤️❤️
Hi was wondering what paper you used?
Preston -it is strathmore mixed media-please check out the link in my description for this item in my resource section of www.artandsuccess.com 😉 (or, just CLICK HERE FOR THE PAPER: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YZLRWC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B009YZLRWC&linkCode=as2&tag=artandsucce0c-20&linkId=285366c3f97887bf8a53fab3779a06f5
Hi Pamela, love the video, was there any drying time involved, or was it applying paint on top of wet paint?
@@mikehill8225 Thanks for your comment! I was working wet into wet in some areas, and since this i s a large painting, as I moved around, lots of areas were dry by the time I painted over them. This painting is currently all acrylic but may transition into some cwm/oil after mounted on panel! ;)
This is great! I too like to use my gloves hands. How do you keep the gloves from breaking? Or do you use a few pair for each painting?
thank you so much Pamela. working right now on the Arches oil paper and this video is so helpful. Loving painting on paper and get up so early to start each day since I started this journey... can not thank you enough! Great job Pamela
You are very welcome, Sharyn :)!!
This is a wonderful new approach to your videos! I love it that you are narrating through the whole thing, and I like that we can see the process sped up instead of in real time. Some of your other videos have moments where the sound is completely gone; this is great because we can hear something from you or the music all the time. Your explanations of your process are totally delightful! Please do more videos like this!
Hi Terri! Thanks for the wonderful feedback - that is very helpful as I decided to try this format out as an option. As much as I "can" talk and paint", there are so many videos that have to be edited down that narrating after the editing seems more streamlined and fun! Thanks for your comment :) Best, Pam
I agree. The voice over is great
Wow! Makes me wish I had somewhere to do some large work, but alas, not now.Thanks for allowing me to see your entire process. Your free work today reminds me of San Francisco in the late 60s. Will keep watching and learning.
This is gorgeous and interesting! I've never found someone who explains in detail, your methods and objectives for when you step back to look, then add more. I never have any idea how the artist decides to make the adjustments. THANK YOU for this! I hope you do this on other videos as well. This is what I want to learn. I'm not always familiar with the art terms you use but I have an idea.
Pam: Thank you so much for sharing your amazing gift as an artist with us. I am so inspired by your talent and I agree, your narration is a great addition. Your voice is so soothing and flows just like the beautiful paint on your palette.
So very beautiful. Thank you for allowing me to watch.
I learned so much watching you do this painting session. I really apreciate that you are continuing to show us how you work.
Je viens de vous découvrir par hasard et j'en suis ravie! Je recherchais un art abstrait intelligent, vivant, et en même temps chargé d'intuition et d'émotions et je l'ai trouvé chez vous....merci pour toutes vos explications tellement utiles et généreuses. J'ai 77 ans et je suis inscrite à un cours d'art plastiques à Paris pour meubler mon temps et je suis si heureuse de vous avoir trouvé le 10 juillet, date de mon anniversaire....c'est le plus beau cadeau pour moi de la providence pour ma fin de vie....je vous souhaite beaucoup de bonheur et de réussite. Merci encore.
So lovely to watch you create this rich and colourful piece of work, Pamela. Thank you so much! I feel inspired.
I'm so happy you found inspiration, Jacqueline - happy painting!! :)
Thank you so much for sharing your delightful skill with us. I began playing with acrylics a year ago and I really love this particular style. Working on finding "my voice". Really appreciate this video.
LOVE LOVE LOVE this..THis is soo ME!! encourages me to get painting BIGGER like I did years ago..it brings JOY back into my heart...My work had gotten too narrow...this vid is helping me to feel more free and to FLY AGAIN!!!! Not many of us abstract painters around anymore THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! I NEEDED this!!!♥♥♥
Hi Nancy! I'm thrilled you are finding new energy and inspiration! YAY for you :) Many thanks for your comment!! Best, Pam :)
Wow I just discovered your channel yesterday and have been immersed in your videos. You're so inspiring. I just started painting last year as stress relief, but I've never tried abstract painting until last week when I took a local workshop for painting without a brush. I had so much fun and felt like a kid again. I want to explore abstract painting more because I've never had so much fun painting before. Thanks for sharing your wonderful talent!
I really enjoyed your process of your painting. Very relaxing your voice and your creativity. Beautiful.
As digital artists, we have the luxury of pressing "command + z" to undo when we find something not worth keeping or to start anew. This ladies and gentlemen, to me, is truly amazing because the workflow or process is so organic and intuitive. Thank you so much Pamela for sharing your world with us.
Many thanks - what a truly nice comment :) Painting is always a challenge and an endless array of problem solving but it is this process that I love and know will never be "easy" - just deeply fulfilling :)
Oh, my! I have only just found you on TH-cam. I’m gaining such a lot from your wonderful skills. I tend to work fairly tightly, and watching you working with finger painting displays such a lot of freedom. I am inspired and can hardly wait to try finger painting and loose drawing with all kinds of drawing tools. Thanks so much for your generosity.
Thanks for your comment, Christine - so happy you were inspired here ;) I hope you will enjoy painting in your studio with new found freedom! Please feel free to visit my mentoring website and subscribe for free for lots of great info bit.ly/Pam_FREE Cheers! Pam
You are a tranquilizer and zoom at once, calming the mind while stirring the creative juices. Each video sends me back into the studio with a fresh outlook and excitement. Grateful for your generosity and gorgeous work!
Chris - Wow and thank you for such an uplifting comment! I’m so happy you are finding inspiration here-I hope you will visit again!! 😊🌹💐
So this is my first time watching a video of yours. At first I was thinking just another silly abstract painting...but with each swipe of the finger...stroke of the brush and scrap with a tool it truly evolved into a great painting. I would hang it on my wall!!
Also...so fun and relaxing to watch! Thank you!!
Hi Lone Wolf! Thank you for stopping by and for commenting - that means a lot to me! I hope you will return from time to time :) Best, Pam
This is the most excited I have felt about getting back into my art for many years. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and processes!
Hi Sara! Wow! That is so awesome and it makes me very happy - yay for you :)!!!! Pam

You are amazing for sharing your knowledge and talent, love you work, greetings from Portugal, dear Pam!
I just love this! Watching the process again and again, it just becomes more amazing. Your freedom is palpable. Thank you Pam.
Thanks so very much, Shellie! I so appreciate that you found it fun to watch!! :)!
It is such a total delight to see you working!!
Many thanks, Katharine! Great to see you here!! ;)
Outstanding work Pamela. Thank you very much
Many thanks, Eugenia :)!!
Pamela, I enjoyed your paperwork with hand application of your painting. Your freedom of expression was very evident. I did not realize two painting s side by side. . That's wonderful and then application to your boarding. And apply cold wax to the surface to use as sealant. Also the use of brushes and spatula too. It looks Great! Good colors the middle was good I liked that single thin red line that made area POP! Yes ! That's what it needed. Just something simple. And you did it! So I was happy that happened. Like confirmed my eye approach to reviewing it. I like it NICE! Bold energy and tells a story in it's own way.
I loved, loved, loved watching and listening to your process as you did these paintings. Thank you so much for sharing.
I love this piece and the video. I got so much out of watching you work with acrylic and mark making tools. Thank you for sharing so much of yourself. 🙏🏻
You are very welcome, Shirley ;)!
I love the color pallet for this work of art! Your work is amazing and I appreciate you for sharing your talents 😊
Many thanks 😀
Hi Pamela. What a wonderful painting. I also liked you chatting throughout and explaining what u were doing and your thought process. I just love your work. Thank you for sharing. Cheers, DEB T (NZ)
Thanks so much, Rod! I taught cold wax/oils in Takapuna and hope to return in 2020 - please stay in touch!! Pam ;)
I only love following artists that paint. This has been so fascinating to watch unfold. Cheers from Korea.
What a fabulous painting! Watching you create it was a real treat, and your narration of the process was both interesting and helpful. Many thanks for your generosity in sharing, I look forward to more! 🙏
Thanks so much!!
Brilliant work! So many skills used here that's made to look so easy ...... but ..... developed experience and imagination features hugely. I'm enthused to try for sure!!
Oh please do! I feel I am a beginner each time I lift a brush or use my hands. Or, I try and do something I haven't done before to ensure I am a beginner! I would love to know how your experiments go - wish we could attach images in these convos - hmm, maybe TH-cam will one day allow it! Would be fun to keep in touch! Best, Pam :)
@@PamelaCaughey Thank you so much. I've commented on your FAcebook profile 'Pamela Caughey Art'. I'm finishing an oi painting at the moment but I'm imaging a painting in my mind for an acrylic using local street images, so I'll send you images on FB. when I get going with it. Your FB artworks are so inspiring and are enthusing me all the more!!
I love this technique! I began painting abstracts using soft pastels and my hands, so am very drawn to continuing to use my hands with paints whenever possible. Very inspiring process oriented video emphasizing the gestural aspects, thank you!
Thanks, Carole! Who ever would have thought all the finger painting we did as a child would resurface later in life?!! :)
Oh, you're welcome Pam. I love your watching your videos. Yes, I also did finger painting as a child and have fond memories. There is something so direct and primal about using our hands and fingers when making things and painting. Now that I think about this, cave paintings and some hieroglyphics were probably made with the hands.
I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos! I did very much appreciate the narration and how you shared your thought process with us. Thank you for sharing your art!
It is my pleasure - thank you for your comment - I really appreciate it :)!!
It was a pleasure to watch you paint. I enjoy painting this way too and it was a great reminder to do it a bit more frequently. Thank you.
Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom, journey and process! I am so inspired!
I loved many of the choices you made during this process.
(:
Is painting turned out to be beautiful its very interesting, fun, and pleasing to look at. I loved it
Fantastic work, thank you so much for sharing!
Always wonderful dear Pamela !!
Thank you very much for visiting, M Vuelta :)!
Yes, I liked your video and your explanations of what you were doing and the tools you were working with. I feel now that I would like to paint with my hands. I will look at your other videos...Thank You!
It is so much fun to play with paint - be sure to wear gloves :)!
Espectacular !
From Costa Rica.
I don't get tired to see again and again.
Thanks very much!
I’m not one to post online, yet I had to tell you WELL DONE! All of your paintings are amazing, however this one is so fun and fresh. What a delight! I know it was a blast to paint too. So happy for you. Thank you for sharing your process with us. I am inspired!
inspiring to say the least. Intriguing use of shapes, randomness and lively images. I love painting with my hands. Great fun to watch and left me feeling like anything is possible. Thank you!
Loved this video. Thank you for helping us see how an abstract can come together.
Wow! I LOVED watching this. It was so meditative. And fascinating. I appreciate it so much when an artist talks about decision-making during a demonstration. THANK YOU!
It’s a pleasure to watch U painting cc
Many thanks! :)
Oh, I am just so taken by your work. What mastery, to be able to do "scribbles" and push paint around with your hands in a way that looks like child's play (and it sounds like it feels that way too!) but I just know that it takes years of experience to develop the "eye" and the feel for how to make such a piece of beauty. I know I'm going to try this and be disappointed that I can't immediately create something as beautiful as this - lol! - but the fun will be in the trying, for sure. Thank you for such inspiration and for sharing your thoughts and process!
This is great! I just started the acrylic class. I’m excited to see what I’ll learn. Your videos are awesome. It’s nice when a teacher says you need to calm this area dow. But to watch you do it and explaining helps so much. I am a visual learner so seeing it happens is important thank you for taking your time to make this.
Dawn Brosnan
Mesmerizing! 😊💖 I saw so many choices…to obliterate-great word! 😊 I am far too tentative about changes…it looked like everything happened for a reason as you progressed. Wow!…just Wow! 💖
My painting and I have a pretty good conversation (battle, ahem) - but it's a lot of fun :)!
Thank you for sharing the making of this work, your actions and your reflections. Thank you for your generosity, so beautifully done, such lovely work. Very inspiring.
I absolutely love this and thank you so much for the link to your favorite supplies!
Wow! You are so inspiring. I could watch you paint for hours but also feel the urge to go and DO, which is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your tools, palette and thought process. Very valuable. I have subscribed and plan to watch many more. I love you inhibition!
