We're enjoying holiday nd I am being antosocial taking some time to paint. We're in the country and I paint landscapes. It feels uncomfortable as I am used to paint cityscapes. But I found an amazing spot in a meadow where I see a castle (Beusdael) in the distance. I have to work hard to capture the trees.
When it starts to rain I work on a portrait of my daughter. - Zábava
You have beautiful children you must be so proud .💜
Titus, a second talent is emerging after this lovely video: your continuing development in the art of filmmaking! Your merging of content and technique, as in your paintings, is masterful!!
Thank you!
Awe, our children carry our hearts I think. Yours are ever so precious Titus!
Thank you for sharing with us your family time, you have beautiful children. The blond little boy looks exactly like you. Could be hard to balance being an artist with 3 young children. I couldn't do it until my kids got older. And your kids look to be interested in your art, they look like very nice children.
Many thanks for sharing a slice of your family life Titus. Warm and welcoming almost as if you had invited us !
Exiting to see your beautiful children and so good of your daughter to sit still and model. Artists can never take a vacation... and why should they?... painting for me is the best holiday. It shows that being a painter is not what we do , its what we are! Hope you had a great time.
your little girl is a mini-you! adorable capture.
Such cute kids Titus, and your daughter's "Ja" when she sees the end product is all the recognition you need!
I enjoyed watching you paint a portrait this time. I'm impressed your daughter would sit still for that long. Ha ha. Such a sweet painting your daughter will cherish, along with the memory of you painting it. Both of your kids are adorable!
Wow, your young boy is into this...maybe he will paint as well. I think he is observing things....learning to see and think what the painting and the scene offeres him. This was an interesting video.
Beautiful painting and kids and family. Lovely to have that time with them.
Beautiful painting of a sweet daughter! And have a nice and relaxing vacation!
Oh that was so sweet to see this captivating video of you painting with your children on vacation. I love how your son is very interested in your technique and has suggestions too. Children speak the truth and your daughter did when she said Ya. Precious. Thank you for sharing with all of us. 🤗
A treasured moment captured in time as no other could. A magnificent artist and his beloved child.
Thank you Deborah
Wonderful Capturing your daughter's tea cozy donning. What a great memory that will be. Your family is beautiful. My heritage is 50% Flemish Belgian. The landscapes were idyllic also
So good to paint outdoors. Is there a heat advisory there as few close European countries are sweltering in the heat.
So nice to have your kids with you, these memories will be with them forever.
By the way, they sure look like you😉
Best wishes to you and your family. 🇳🇱
Titus, I'm not a painter. However, I've received so many valuable life lessons about working, paitence, style, discouragement, expectaion, when or when not something is finished, and so many others. I don't have to tell you this, but the subjects you touch upon are revevant to any creative human endeavor. Thank you for posting these.
Well said! I agree.
Thank you. I think it doesn’t matter what someone creates, we all go through the same processes indeed
I found that video very heartwarming. A reveal into a very intimate moment with capturing the magical aspect of a young child. Bravo for sharing this with us.
Awww, I loved watching this video! Your children are so sweet, so precious. Thank you for sharing! ❤️❤️❤️
So precious!!
Thoroughly enjoyable!
Amazing Titus! I feel glad to see your work, it's really gorgeous.
LOOOOOVE your videos....beautiful and lovely kids! It’s precious watch them interested in daddy’s art! God Bless your family❤️
I love your family time videos where you paint a portrait and spend quality time with your family. It’s always nice to slow down in such a beautiful place…the look on your daughter’s face when she saw your painting is worth a million dollars. I’m so happy for you Titus, a great artist but even a better daddy. Keep your light shining bright!
What a beautiful place! The interaction betweem Art and children is Very important , It awakens in them the desive to communicate through Art , realizing their own feelings that make them freer for this great step of developing in creations!🎉

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful day in the country with your family. It's much to hot where I live to do much outside at this time of year (yet another day over 100F/38C). I wish I had your talent - I have two beautiful granddaughters that I have drawn many times with fair results, but painting them seems just out of my reach. I loved watching you paint your daughter.
The tea kettle warmer is a perfect way to think outside the box. Very sweet. I used to try to get a good painting from my son who was so active, aren’t they all, and found that to render his portrait the most accurate and quickly that I had to grab pencil or a little colored graphite. A day goes by and they change completely. It is such a joy to have children. There are no pitter patter little feet noises anymore but I still hear them from long ago.😊Enjoy your plein aire time. I even like finding an old winding twisted tree with lots of shadows and loads of textures. Take care😊
18:39, wonderful work, I think you should have stopped there. Not to criticize, but I think sometimes too many layers take away from the freshness that the watercolor shines with.
On the other hand its great to see you not being scared... When doing portraits I am always terrified of the next step, and often overthink it...
So cute! You have a beautiful family. 💝
i loved the way your don watched you as you painted.. ❤❤ thank you for sharing this sweetness .. Norakag 👍
Your Energy is astounding!! Even in a down mood you brighten my Saturday mornings! Thanks for your enthusiasm in everything creative! And BTW you look marvelous -for a recent nestlings off & onward. I am well past that by 15 + yrs so I know… Enjoy your 20+ yrs anniversary - I only ever managed 2 yrs hahaha 🤣
Lol, I find your honesty nice and I find your subject beautiful. Your sketches are wonderful. I would like to sketch better.
I enjoyed this video of you painting with your children right there. The portrait is so adorable. I’m a watercolor artist and follow you all the way from Florida, USA
Thank you!
🤩delightful
This was a lovely video and I especially noticed your son’s rapt attention to what you were painting and did I hear him asking you questions? I don’t have the benefit of understanding the language but the children are so charming and “low key” like their Papa. The portrait is so sweet and a memory of a time to cherish. Thank you.
Thank you Lilian!
Précieux moments de partage...belles vacances à toutes et tous. Le chapeau improvisé est juste "trop" , comme disent les jeunes chez nous. Merci.
Little one looks so cute
beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Great video, Titus! Love that you are spending quality time with your beautiful children. Thank you for sharing them with us. Do you have a preference for city or rural subjects? You master them both
Hi David, thank you. I like both: Landscapes and cityscapes. I would love to do a bit more landscapes but I notice it’s quite hard to manage when you don’t paint those as often as cityscapes!
Well, Titus, I feel partially responsible for any vacation interruption LOL. I think that Oliver Pyke has a really good approach to painting trees, especially at a distance. I’ve watched his videos a lot to see how he captures the mood seen in how light and shadows of distant trees interact. He treats them like clouds in the sky which gives a wonderful softness to his watercolor. It's helped me think a lot differently about how different objects appear in our minds, especially when thinking about Joseph Zbukvic's attitude that "there are two main shapes - the sky and the ground", and all of the interactions between.
Thanks! It’s funny. When I explained my mother how I would paint trees I had the same comparison with clouds.
Fantastiche! Besonder, Ja! Danke, Titus!
Cute ! She is your muse…….HaHaHa
Yes I think she is
Your videos are amazing! I’m a composer from Brazil, and I’m currently using your videos as inspiration in my composition process last 2 weeks. Thank you so much for your work, and your art. (I’d like to make a music for one of your paints.)
Ja ik vind het ook fantastisch!
A portrait of the woman she will become.
И децата ти са направени с вкус😊, сладки, красиви. 💋Момченцата, както и момиченцето имат твоя чар. Ген или възпитание? Не зная. Но е трогателно мило🤗 и си заслужава. Ти рисувай, не се уморявай, роден си за това👍🖌️🎨🧙
Deus abençoe todos vcs amém
Stop trying to "paint trees" just suggest them with value shifts (don't even think "tree"). Then they will come. Your children are precious you must be a wonderful Dad.
Thoroughly enjoyed watching you with your family who are very good for you to spend so much vacation time painting 😉. But I do understand what you say, even as an amateur, I'm always looking for subjects to paint. To not do this would be like not breathing. Can you please tell me what it is that you used to draw your daughter ?
Vandaag ‘Buiten spelen’ gekregen voor mijn verjaardag. Ik ben er erg blij mee!!!
Echt? Wat leuk, gefeliciteerd!
Hi Titus
Back with another thought:
When you're searching fot that elusive "fascinating thing", do you just know it when you see it with trial and error. or is there such a thing as a formula like the golden rectangle - or is it a mean of both?
Hi David. Good question, I think I don’t have to search actually. It is always there and it is manifested in all the beauty I see every day
Sorry - iPad moved on -meant for other
The more alienated from his life one is, the more vacation he needs. Furthermore the word "vacation" is dependent to the word "work", which is a political framing of a certain sort of free slavery. I'm pretty happy to be a freelancer like you because we feel reality every day - not really doing work and not really having vacation.
Some years ago I cancelled the word "work" from my vocabulary and speak of "meaningful activity". Vacation has no meaning to me either any more.
I know what you mean! And I totally agree
@@TitusMeeuws Your whole video was really quite funny for me because in June I was on "vacation" with my family and a friend of mine for 8 days for the first time in 3 years and I did 5 water colour paintings there. So I can relate what you say. But I'm a lot older than you (53) and I went through all those thoughts 10 to 20 years ago. It's absolutely normal to me not to stop doing the things that define me. I got away from the consumerism standards that my parents, school, society and mainstream media cemented into my brain. It was a bit of a journey to free myself from it and I'm still working on it.
