nice abstract works you got there

Helpful tips for how to price artwork is always valuable. I like the per square inch method, which is very popular. Thanks for sharing!😊

Thanks for this video Lori the painting is absolutely gorgeous. I love it. I’ve been trying to get the Liquitex spray bombs, but they won’t ship it to Canada. Apparently it has an ingredient that is banned in our country but I want them so badly. Any suggestions? Thanks for sharing your talent so freely you are my favourite artist on CZcams.

You make me get it. But I get it so much more now, than the first time I seen this. I have learned so much since then. Thanks a million.

I watched this a long time ago and I should've listened to you, because I know that you know exactly what you're talking about. And what did I do? Started out with many colors. Thank you Lori for all of your information and expertise.

Lori, you explain so well. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Also, even your little practice pieces come out so sharp. You are such a good abstract artist.

It does!!!

So an empty canvas

Thankyou so much for sharing. You inspire me to paint. You make it look so easy but it definitely is not.

What energy? I need energy to clean

Love it, where are you from lori? 😊😊

This is so interesting

How much money do you spend on shipping supplies for one 36x36” piece for example? I looked at these corner protectors, and it’s literally insane. With how expensive everything else is, and how much TIME it takes to package, I’d have to charge my customer $300+ to cover materials, my time (1-2 hours), and the actual shipping fee, just to cover my bases. Wondering what you charge your clients, and how much is reasonable to spend per packaging of one piece.

Thanks for the much needed information. 😊

What stunning paintings - on the second painting, what is the bright blue squiggles? Just acrylic paint?

Merci pour toutes ces explications tres utiles.

Je ne parle que français et donc je ne comprends pas tout mais je devine....dommage...et merci pour vos explications ou ce que j'en ai déduis.

This has been really interesting thank you Lori

Beautiful!

Wow! Its looking so good.

Do you choose a certain pallette in the beginning? Or do you just pick colors randomly that you feel would look good?

Did multiple people purchase them or one person?

+ de 20 que je travaille la peinture abstraite et ça ressemble à ce que vous faites donc... Personnellement ça m'émerveille!

You had it right when you said "media". That's the plural of "medium". It's third declension Latin. For ex: the plural of aquarium is aquaria. ;)

Oh my back! And my butt! And legs would fall asleep😂

I am looking everywhere for information about the customs documents you need to ship from Canada to the USA... do you have any guidance on this? I make acrylic paintings as well and also am located in Toronto.

Thankfully my patient husband is happy to do it for me. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Thank youuuu

I feel with you. I also Do not appreciate this work 😀😉😀

Loved watching your process for this fabulous piece. Thank you!

I loved it at many steps during the tutorial. I think that would totally sell at any stage. I find it beautiful.

I notice music heavily influences my abstracts. Be conscious of your mood!

Love your personality. Fun learning from you! Thanks!

FABULOUS !! Loved it when you turned it ‘ right side up’ at the end 🥰✌🏼

Love that you’re saying what you’re feeling. Can you imagine if other artists over the centuries could tell us what they were thinking as they painted…… Poor Vincent … could have been thinking about starry starry night like this MERDE ! Too many blasted stars …… I hate them. I think I’ll cut my ear off 😱

Why did I buy a horse…… why am I living in the country ……😂 you are hilarious 😂 So happy I found you . Think I ‘ll buy some paint and brushes and stuff ✌🏼🥰

I read a lot about square inch method but not much about how any other costs that should affect the end price. Framing for one. If an artist doesnt frame any works or if they could frame any size pianting the same way and could break that cost down by square inch maybe that could work. Professional picture framing is so varied by method and style that end pricing for for framed art could be hundreds of dollars different for two identical sized pieces. Also, if one doesn't do commission work you could price lower but if you are too low it will be hard to get enough compensation for the extra effort and demands of creating work for clients. And lastly what about any other costs of doing business, profit & living expenses, studio expenses, insurance, income taxes, and more? The fact is, if you are hobbyist then these may be out the window but if one really wants to be in business as an artist...paint and sell if you can make enough money but if one can't- one should find another line of work. I would rather not waste my time talent, and money creating a product I can't sell for the price I should get toake a good living.

That piece behind you is stunning i love it.

I would never work without a deposit, no way no no, your out the time, materials, everybody is different i guess, but i love your work. No deposit sounds like you lack the surety you can make them what they want.

Thank you. I love how thorough you are with this. I'm confused though. I see you name on your ig, not a string of keywords.

Nice💖🥳

Wow I’m a tarmac man put I want to be a 👨‍🎨 painter there is a painter in me I love love love this beautiful amazing your amazing 🤩 I want to be you creating is amazing 🖼️🖼️🖼️love you talking us through this thank you the creation the mental planning brilliance 💪

Oh wow I am so happy to have found a Canadian artist CZcams channel !!!

Just what I need as a beginning painter.

I get the terror. Art is subjective and some folks are mean. However, there are many nice folks, too. Thank you for this vulnerable, honest and encouraging vid.

Where did you find lumber that wasn't bent? Or did you pay carpenter to make your frame? How much?

Great work. What was the reference photo for?

Beautiful beautiful spot, ❤❤❤❤

Thank you. Your tips were very helpful.

I'm currently trying to learn how to use Tech. It fries my right brain 😭 I can't find any of those supplies in my country where can you buy them online?
