Mixed Media Painting of "The Thinker" (A Modern Day Twist)
Hello everyone!!!
Ok... I decided to turn the famous statue "The Thinker" by Auguste Rodin into a mixed media painting with a modern twist. Yeah... I focused on the social media component of modern-day life. Mainly because I have had moments of falling into what I refer to as a scroll hole. You know... That time suck that happens when you start scrolling through reels or CZcams shorts and before you know it a few hours have elapsed. This readily available source of distraction is a questionable one in my opinion. I'm not sure it's all that healthy. In fact, I think a healthy dose of boredom is a good thing because you are forced to be alone with your own thoughts. Most of the time boredom ends up being a catalyst for action. Action that you often won't take if you fall into a scroll hole.
Perhaps I am old fashioned, but I miss the days when phones were just phones and not miniature computers. I miss going out to dinner and seeing people engaging with one another instead of sitting across from each other with their eyes fixed on a small handheld rectangle.
I would love to know your thoughts on this subject.
Love to all and I will see you in the next video!

Mixed Media Collage Painting
zhlédnutí 3KPřed měsícem
Hello! I have been really busy lately working on some new art. This mixed media collage piece is a concept that I have been working on for a while now. I love the addition of words in my art, but it can be a challenge to find enough of the right words that I'm looking for in newspapers. The size often isn't ideal. So, I end up collecting over a period of time and then taking stock of my word st...
Mixed Media Lion Painting Process

Hello and welcome to this mixed media lion painting process video! I had a terrible migraine throughout this entire painting and didn't actually think the painting was any good until the migraine finally went away. It was probably due to the blurred vision and the seething rage that was bubbling just below the surface of my usually composed being. For some reason, migraines never put me in a go...

Mixed Media Painting// Tips and Techniques

Hello! I have been going through a bit of artist's block lately. So, I decided to have some fun, play with colors and paint a zebra. Sometimes, I get so caught up in coming up with new ideas, that I forget to just play with paint and see what happens. Right now, the outside world around me has been pretty colorless and blah. I find winter in the northeast to be an inspiration sucking time of ye...
Mixed Media Painting// Building Layers

Hello friends! It is officially winter here in the Northeast and wolves have been on my mind. So, I decided to create a mixed media painting with a wolf as the subject. This is one of my favorite ways to create a painting. Combining abstract techniques with a focal point creates something unique a beautiful, but the layers are what makes it so. This painting has a bit of everything; Using diffe...

Hello everyone and Happy New Year!!! I decided to do a ridiculously colorful painting to kick off the start of 2024!

This can either be a blessing or a curse depending on the effect you are trying to achieve. For instance, if you want a smooth blend ...

Hey everyone! It's been 3 weeks since my last video. I was quite ill for over two weeks with a nasty virus which attacked my lungs.

Hello Friends! I have been on a black canvas kick lately and have also been playing around with and art technique called tenebrism. This is my first attempt at trying to create the spotlight effect. Overall, I think it went pretty well although I think I could do better after some practice. To be honest, I kind of liked it better in grayscale than in color, but maybe that's just me. Anyway, I h...

    This was a really well done review. Initially, when I first looked into buying open acrylics I watched reviews from artists that didn't understand how to work with them. It was really cool to see you work with the paints and make sound decisions about how to use them to their fullest ability. Thank you. I will definitely be purchasing some in the near future.

    Lovely result. Funny but i thought of dojng this a few months ago, but couldnt bring myself to "waste" one of my dutch pours. So carried on keeping my oil portraits separate. But now I see there is so much potential, definitely going tp try it. What size canvas was this?

  • @carolgivati7372
    @carolgivati7372 Před 4 dny

    Very beautiful, but the honeycomb effect was just too much for this specific portrait. The background was perfect without it. ( thats just my taste but I find this need to add in too much fluff just detracts from the actual painting, instead of enhancing it) You are clearly talented ! I see this technique taught at the Milan art institute and really think it has just been overused.
