Fascinating! I'm primarily a watercolorist, but branching into mixed media and your videos are so helpful for that. Thanks you for sharing these tips with us!
Starting with the bright colors is genius! I too like a more muted palette but the few times I made myself put in a fluorescent color, it seemed to really add more depth in the under layers. Thanks for reminding me of this.
I love your process of creating a mood board, paint swatches, and mixing tubs of paint. I’ve decided to adapt it to my creative practice. Thank you for sharing this. I’ve gotten a lot out of your videos. 😊
These videos are so helpful for a beginner like myself. They are always neat and the information is clear, organized and very valuable. Thank you very much 😊
Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality, but instead uses shapes, colors, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect. - If I rely on the definition, your work is a representation of abstract - and in the case of many so-called abstract artists they are producing representations of something they believe is abstract but in fact it is just random non-associative meaningless it is just taking Dadaism and Surrealism one step further it is just automatism in its purest form. And I believe it was Andre Breton or was it Paul Eduard who said, "True art is free of all thinking"
Absolutely wonderful video. Love seeing your process and the importance of adding depth early on. Sometimes I’m worried by the messy stage and feel like giving up but you showed me to trust the process. Thank you
As an abstract photographer I think mood boards might stimulate more. Boards are also useful in seeing which images might work together in a series or body of work.
Abstract art is only good as a stylistic motif to layer over or be incorporated into realism/Impressionism. There are some design elements which can make a nice texture or color scheme for a characters clothing, a building, car, ect, but abstract on its own is little more than meaningless post-modern slop, a waste of canvas/paint, and just a money laundering scheme rich people exploit to inflate their wealth. And the primary reason people become abstract artists is because they can’t paint anything even remotely accurate to life, it’s a cope plain and simple. They want the social status and trappings of being real artist, without actually having to put in the work necessary to be able to paint realistically or semi-realistically…
Why would you charge so much for your art? There are many painters who spend decades to prefect oil painting to produce beautiful landscapes and portraits that not many people can make. and you're offering your art at a similar price? time put into produce what they can make vs the time you put in doesn't make sense.
Abstract art is the most popular art people buy, and since people are buying it, the price is fine! A piece is worth whatever people will pay for it. Seems the other artists need to raise their proce if their art is truly worth more. Good abstract art like this takes skill. I say this as a realism oil painter!
Thanks for sharing your opinion. It seems you haven’t watched my many other videos showing how many hours it actually takes to create one of these paintings.
To the original commenter - She charges such prices because she can. People buy her work for the prices she has set, so that is enough reason for her to continue pricing as such. Just a reminder in case this helps: non-representational art does in fact take its own skillset to execute well. There is a lot of shit abstract art out there as a result of people just throwing paint randomly on a canvas with no thought or process behind it. This artist has clearly demonstrated a process in how she creates her images, and when you look through her body a work, a cohesive visual language does begin to emerge. That's not to say I think this artist is the best at what she does. She's good, but I still think there's definitely alot of room for growth. She's well on her way. (Please take this as loving encouragement Miss, because it is.) But looking through her prices, they really do feel fair, when you think of he fact that Twombly routinely sells for millions.
To the original commenter: I was in shock how cheap her paintings are. She should raise the price for sure. The thing is, abstract is not for everyone. Not everyone appreciates it and that's totally fine. If the painting is rich, the price should reflect its richness.
Abstract paintings are doodling magnified. There are big problems.. what happens after the daubing? Art , true art speaks metaphorically, poetically, allegorically, emotionally, intelligently, etc. It, certainly goes way beyond the superficial aspects of abstraction. Abstraction is merely what it is and nothing more. Read the Life of Jackson Pollack who drank himself to death. He had sold his soul for gimmickry.
I cannot take any abstract artist seriously. A Picasso or Basiquat to me will ever be in the same universe of skill as a Seargant, a Monet, Rockwell, bouguereau, Murata, Kim Jung Gi, James Gurney, ect, I don’t care how much they are praised by post modernist Marxists in the media and academia, I don’t care how expensive their work sells. Abstract painting is a cope for people that can’t actually paint but want to be LARP as artists. It’s the path of laziness and cowardice.
Wow - I love this! Thank you so much!
You are so welcome, Sanny!
A very clear and useful presentation. It will free up a lot of painters who are stuck.
Thank you, Gary!
Lovely work & so useful to watch….wonderful colour palette!
Thank you so much, Jennie!
Thank you, great to see this overview of your process, which I have watched with great pleasure
You're very welcome, Sigrun!
I don't understand it at all. Can't comprehend whatever ur trying to create. But it is somehow visually mesmerizing.
Haha, I guess that means you do understand it
@@jclosestudio I hope so

Thanks so much, Christie! I’m so glad it’s been helpful for you
Thank you. This will help me stare down that blank canvas!
Haha, it will be quite the contest.
좋은 영상과 작품 제작 소개 감사드립니다 🎉🎉🎉
You're welcome!
Thank you for sharing dear Jeannine . Be well ! Cheers
Thank you, Steve!
This was so helpful! I really love how you use color. I think the swatch/mixing book is my next step. Thank you for that video as well!
I love that swatch mixing book. I used to mix colours on loose sheets, but they get lost and that book is such a great resource to look back through.
Starting with the bright colors is genius! I too like a more muted palette but the few times I made myself put in a fluorescent color, it seemed to really add more depth in the under layers. Thanks for reminding me of this.
Absolutely! This time the colour took overhand in this series, but to any more muted piece it adds so much richness.
Thank you! I found this video very helpful.
You are welcome, Mike! Glad it was helpful.
Good educational presentation of your process… 👍😊
Thank you!
Great advice! Thank you ❤
You are so welcome!

True art is from great intelligence and all assets.
But most importantly, it is truth. Abstraction is mendacity.
Thank you for your continued generosity in sharing your process!
You're more than welcome. Sheena 😊
Wow, this is the first thing I’ve seen from you and it was beautiful! I was equally stunned by the idea of painting in such pristine white clothing.
Thank you so much, Gina! My clothes may look pristine on camera, but they are not 😄
Great synopsis of your process. Thanks for this Jeannine.
You are very welcome, Stacey!
Absolutely wonderful video. Love seeing your process and the importance of adding depth early on. Sometimes I’m worried by the messy stage and feel like giving up but you showed me to trust the process. Thank you
Thank you, Tracey! The messy stage can be very scary. But yes, trust the process!
Great video with lots of inspiration! ❤
Thank you, Cindy!
I always love seeing the way in which you create 🥰
Thanks, Chantelle! I'm curious, do you tend to plan your work in advance? Or is your process more intuitive?
Thank you very much for sharing your process in such detail, Jeannine. I found it very helpful!!
Hi Sofia, so glad you found it helpful!
As an abstract photographer I think mood boards might stimulate more. Boards are also useful in seeing which images might work together in a series or body of work.
That's a very good point! Especially if you are planning your work in advance it's great to see which ideas can work together on a mood board.
Merci beaucoup Madame.
C'est un plaisir

Nah
Abstract art is the manifestion of an empty heart.
How very poetic
Or sometimes, a heart so full it can no longer be contained. 😊
@@NoremakSeggob if there is nothing to look at regardless of it being overflowing,it's still empty

By spa the an s with paint with no thought. garbage waste of material. who would want this one wall
by splattering the paint. ( won’t let me edit)
I'm glad you took the time to correct your thoughtful comment 😄
@@jclosestudio i am a member of the grammar police 😂. Abstract art just annoys me, i can’t help myself
@@paulwoodford1984that’s fair. Better not to watch videos about it in that case
Thank you ❤❤
