• 5 Artist Mistakes
your way of telling and explaining is simply refreshing😄
I try to be clear and straight forward. Thanks for watching.
Thanks again, David!!! You teach with a sense of humor, and I look forward to every video! I won’t admit publicly to which mistakes I’ve made, but know “never again!”
Tellin it like it is!
I always do!
Thanks David... haha I'll stop trying to beat my paintings into submission 😆
Thank you so very much for your tips 🙏
You’re welcome.
You are hilarious... super funny and so inspirational. Thank you for sharing your knowledge
Aidan, you’re welcome.
Thank you! I enjoyed your video a lot!
You’re welcome!
Thanks for watching "5 Artist Mistakes." Let me know if you do any of these!
I'm buying the best paint that I can. Not selling anything yet, but have more than 100 abstracts in my studio. Thanks for the great advice.
Bill Mondragon you should start selling some of those pieces to free up more money for materials. Make it at least pay for itself!
I am so enjoying your teaching style, laced with humour. Signing up for the beginner abstract course now.
Kelly Craft thank you!
Appreciate your honesty, valuable info for someone starting out...
Brent, you’re welcome.
I’m really enjoying your videos, they are really helpful! Thank you
You’re welcome!
Hi David, you have changed my whole outlook on painting...what an inspiration you are. I have thrown away all my detailed art, photos...cheap paints...now I paint with bigger brushes, put on the music...let rip and let it all happen ........a bit scary at first .....where i took weeks of overworking etc etc.....now I have painted the last three paintings and had such wonderful responses..... thanks so much and bless you heaps. Craig
Craig Novak that is so cool - good for you! I’m sure your paintings are fresher and more alive than ever. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll never look back. Keep on moving forward my friend!
Wow - such inspirational encouragement from both of you!
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a trick to log back into an instagram account??
I somehow lost my password. I would love any tips you can offer me
@Keaton Sergio instablaster ;)
@Lochlan Seth thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
Thank you David, glad you've talked about painting from a photo. I personaly hate painting from a photo. Not many teachers agree.
carla Neeleman-Stuifzand there is nothing wrong with using a photo as a reference to create a design composition and value study. My beef is copying photos. There is never a reason for any artist to directly copy a photograph. I’m sure there will be many very hateful comments from “ artists” regarding this point, there always are. Too many people who teach encourage students to copy rather than design. Its very sad.
Good stuff .Thanks liked and subscribed
Thanks Max!
Great information 👍
Bianca, thanks for watching!
Thanks, David... I wrote each one except inexpensive paint (because I already use Golden Heavy body) on a card and put it up on my easel! Please show more painting demos as they are so inspiring...NOT to copy, but to see the Color combinations, your movement and it how freely you paint!
Jane McKenzie you’re welcome. I have more painting videos in the pipeline!
Thank You Sir👍😃😂You made me laugh so hard.
Erina, you’re welcome!
Very true - and these 5 very basic points are important points to come to a live painting. Each of the points can make a Big difference for the quality and the aliveness of a painting. Another point that I find very important is paint from your heart, be present in the painting process in the way you would honour each living now of a meeting of importance.
Lis Engel thank you for sharing! I agree, you must be present to adequately respond to the painting.
Thank you for the great advice. Really appreciate it. Not everyone is so honest and I do think many have made the mistakes and I was about to make one of them myself 🙈 Now I know better ☺️
Magda, you’re welcome.
I always paint from a photo. That's easy. After watching this, I would like to try what you said and just use photos as reference for value study. Thanks for your advice.
Qi Chen your work will improve dramatically with this approach. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Qi Chen thanks for signing up!
I am guilty of only one-number 5. Need to learn how to find when being when.
DRYWALL MUD? Oh my!!! No! Just no! Love the video. Thank you!
Kristy, you’re welcome.
Thank you David... great information in this and all of your other videos. I did a painting on watercolor paper and would like to mount it on some type of backing so that I can give it as a gift. Any suggestions?
You’re welcome Beverly. Cradled wood panels are a good option for mounting paper paintings, however you need to determine that often before you paint bcUse the panels come in standard sizes and the paper size may not match up. Another option is to take it to a framer (not an art store that does framing) and get it mounted on foam ore board, the framed with a simple frame.
@@davidm.kesslerfineart1717 Great, thank you for the suggestions.
@@beverlyrandolph5930 you’re welcome.

Dear David! Thank you for this very helpful video again! I appreciate it a lot! I have a question about mistake #5. I have already heard another opinion on that. A wonderful,amazing Artist got that question about over working an acrylic painting. She said,that she sees no case to over work an acrylic painting. Oils and some other mediums you can over work it,but with acrylics NO! She paints in all the mediums of what I haven't heard of some before and she paints photorealism and surrealism paintings beautifully! Her work is just stunning! And she said, if you are not satisfied with the outcome of your acrylic painting,then it's not finished yet; you need to work at it until you are; cause in acrylics you can glaze and glaze over the parts you are not happy with til you are! Now I am a little confused,dear David! You probably can understand why! What do you think about her opinion on over working an acrylic painting? Or were you just talking about abstrakts in mistake #5? Already thank you,dear David! Be blessed and take care! Lots of Love from me, Manuela, to you dearest David!
Manuela Herr here is what I see happening over and over. Students don’t take the time to really look at a painting to see what it needs, they just paint without seeing. My process is to paint until I think it is almost complete. Then I take time to fully look at, and analyze the painting using my 5 critical design fundamentals of shape, value, color, edges and center of interest. I make a list of corrections needed, then proceed with making the corrections. Most I see just continue to painting with no regard for what is happening on the canvas. They don’t take the time to really look at what they are doing. I do not agree with the other artists views. I believe her view is a classic example of artists overworking their paintings.
Pretty sure artists like Franz Klein, Jackson Pollock typically used house paint on their canvasses. Even Picasso was known to use it. I suppose it depends on what you're trying to achieve. From my own experience cheap paints are definitely a false economy for all the reasons you mentioned. 👍
Lots of Abstract Expressionists used house paint because that’s what was available. They also mixed in kerosene, motor oil and other toxic materials. We have better products today than they did.
What are the best quality paints to use?
Whatever works best for you. Everyone likes something different. You have to buy and use lots of different brands to see what you like.
Should I restart if I overworked my painting?
There is not a yes or no answer. Only you can determine what needs to be done next.
@@davidm.kesslerfineart1717 alright!
I do not understand why you say that I cannot create a painting from a photograph and be so passionate about it. I am disabled, I cannot go out and paint plein air, not possible. I have no other choice but to paint by photograph. And by the way, I am constantly being praised for my artwork. Everyone that I have shown my artwork says that they love my art. All of my artwork is based on photographs that I either took when I was a young man and more mobile or photos from Pixabay or other free sites. I am not an acrylic painter, I use dry media only mostly soft pastels.
So explain to me one more time why you are so passionate about no-photo artwork! Please!
Photographs are not paintings, and are not composed as paintings are composed. Anyone can copy of photograph, there is no art to it, simply copying. If you use the photo only as a reference to develop a painting composition (value study) using design fundamentals including shape, line, value, form, etc. then you can develop a painting from the value study. The photo is for reference ONLY in developing a painting design, not for copying. I
I work my paintings to death! OCD :)
Marc, its the easiest thing to do - and we are all guilty of it! Thanks for sharing.
