Paint oils, Paint small, paint often!

Wow. What an interesting concept. Impressionism 50 strokes. Cool. Great.
Its like compressing a million thoughts into 50.
Like saying 12 qeeeks time, not 3 months, to accomplish a million things, Squeeeeeze it in, work quicker, condense.....
reduce.
Excellent.
I draw well. Paint realistic. Many tell me. Its true. I am realistic.
In my art, there is no interesting life or feeling in one big object sitting on the canvas, accurate.
Trying to loosen.
Trying impressionism, to flow, flop, flip around, up, down. Finding a pallette of color thats easy on the eyes, soft, gentle.
Love your orange wash, back.
Thank u for sharing.
Most excellent. 😊
As one commenter described it, “fabulous tutorial to overcome over-perfection.” I’m sure there’s a lesson about life here.
Cannot tell you how much this helped. I have always rough mapped my paintings and this is has given that a process a step up. Thank you.
I'm so glad you got something out of it, Sue.
This is helpful. Going to try it.
"This will stop you from getting too accurate..." :) fabulous tutorial to overcome over-perfection. Thanks for sharing!
Also is a great tutorial in "creative accounting" after that you are ready to work for government into stretching the budget criatively.
Funy and usefull !
My problem is to always end up doing "photography - or painting by numbers",
I feel like a prisoner, but with this kind of exercise it will get into my head more easily
Go for it! I hope you get great results.
Really enjoyed to watch.
This will help you stop from over painting for sure!
Such great timing. I've been sitting at my desk staring at a blank canvas and my reference photo for 2 days. I've mixed colours and I'm so reluctant to get started.
Glad it was helpful!
Brilliant! That was. That was very helpful. I can’t wait to try that method.
Glad it was helpful!
What a fun exercise! Thank you for the lesson.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, I totally enjoyed this video!!! Amazing! Thanks for doing this
Love this.
I feel so fortunate to have found your channel ! (totally by chance and probably the algorithms) I have subbed and look forward to many future clips. Thank you for your time and talent. Being relatively new to painting it’s wonderful and refreshing to hear a clear knowledgeable voice on these delightful subjects!
Welcome aboard!
Just ran across your channel today when this video popped up on my feed. Immediately had to subscribe and now look forward to binging your videos. This exercise will help me dramatically, as I’m one of those people that want to jump towards details way too soon.
Glad you stopped by.
Great exercise Kevin I enjoyed watching it I will give it a go . Paul .
Go for it Paul!
Exciting game! Interesting to watch!... :)
Glad you enjoyed!
Great demonstration. Thank you.
A lot of realistic art paintings in the galleries are nothing more than renderings of the photographs that make "general public" go "Woow!" about, as a great works of art. Nothing sinks my spirit more than seeing such a work.
Also in some YT art demonstrations videos, paintings with expressive loose work at the beginning has been destroyed at the end by the chase toward the final realism of the photography. That prompted me to make a comment with the time stamp where the artist should have stopped.
Fantastic. Thanks
Glad you liked it.
Absolutely fantastic Kevin xxxxx
Thank you!
Great video. Thank you. I particularly like how you keep the reference photo and your palette in frame too. It’s very helpful to see your color mixing.
Glad it was helpful!
Brillant video! 👍 Thank you so much! 🙏 Although I am concerned about the poor barking dog, locked in the cellar! 😕
I'll have to listen to that again: I was so absorbed I didn't notice the barking. There are lots of pet dogs in our street - it's hard to create a barking-free video!
Great exercise / advice…thanks so much! Subscribing!
Welcome!
Thank you for this great idea! Going to try it…..
Have fun!
Thanks for a great presentation!
Glad it was helpful!
very helpful - thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for that....a great idea and it works i thought that your finished painting was great with your 50 strokes....
Thank you Philip🙏
reminds me of Emil Nolde❤
I like that idea and thank u for your time bless u
So nice of you
Nice
Thanks
U r a genius.. please teach waterfall, thatch houses ,old weinkle women , jar n roses
What's a weinkle woman?
This is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this exercise and doing it as a complete demo!!! I’m looking forward to giving it a try.
Love this! What are you cleaning your brush with each time you change color and are you not using s medirym
I usually use citrus oil these days. Turps is great though.
No need for medium usually, although I do use it now and then
What type of paint are you using and are you adding anything to make the paint move around more easily? Thank you for this great tutorial!👏🏻
It's oils. Just a little solvent to help 'lengthen' the paint.
👏👏👏👏🇿🇦🎨
Please pouvez vous nous donner les dimension en français , 5 cm / 7 cm me semble vraiment trop petite. Merci
Mais non: Je l'ai donné en pouces. Ça fait 13 par 18 centimetres. 🙂
I have always wanted to paint like this but I had no idea what the process entailed and how to tackle it . Thank you so much for this video which is so helpful. If you were not limited to 50 strokes , would the result have been different ?
I'm so glad that you enjoyed my video. If I had more than 50 strokes, I might end up with a masterpiece... or a mess! Who knows? I suffer from the same problem that most artists have - I find it difficult to know when my painting is finished. WIth the 50 stroke excercise, the choice to continue is removed and it shows that paintings don't need to be highly polished.
Fascinating indeed . Can’t wait to try this technique!
Thank you
You're welcome
Hi Kevin. Do you always use a limited palette?
Not always- if I'm painting something for my own pleasure, I'll use an extended palette: Warm and cool colors and earth colours, etc. It's easier to teach with a limited palette and simpler when making videos!
What kind of paint was used, Oil? Thanks
Oils for this one but the same applies for any medium.
@@McSherryStudioArt Thanks so much,here from South Africa
@@McSherryStudioArt
Except for watercolour. Haha It’s almost impossible.
I used to paint in oils. I guess I allowed life to stop me. And now, I’m giving watercolour a go. It’s ok.
But I do miss my oils!
▫️
Your tutorial is pulling me to start again. 👏🏼
Extremely interesting. I feel like I must try it.
Great lesson ‼️
Acrylic?
Oils. I think it would be a more difficult job in acrylics. Could still do it though; maybe a higher number is strokes. Try it!
@@McSherryStudioArt your paint seems to flow so easily. Especially your wash. So maybe it’s the brand of paint I’m using. But it seems hard to move the move the paint without a medium.
Thank you, I really enjoyed this and it makes perfect sense, I am constantly trying to loosen my hand rather unsuccessfully so I shall definitely give this a try, in acrylics......I can't afford another medium 😂☮
Your very talented so thank you for the video. I’m always looking for an opportunity to improve my style.
Howl do object to your comment on painting from photos, you make it sound like it’s a bad thing.
I mostly paint from photos as l move around a lot.
I paint a lot of wild life and l find the little buggers have a very bad habit of fidgeting or flying away.
They just don’t get the concept of the whole life drawing gig.
Hi Libby. Thank you for watching my video. Regarding painting from photo references; I do it myself. If I need a position of a figure or some kind of unfamiliar object -or a reference to teach with, I'll use one. But all my paintings are either from life; informed by my life-painting experience or painted directly from my imagination. I started out the same way most people seem to - painting from photo references but in the end, I found it unchallenging and unsatisying. It's much better to paint a intensely personal painting from the imagination than a recreation of a photo, don't you think? There's more 'you' in the wonkiness; that's where the human connection is, for me at least. I prefer to see 'you' and try to figure out what this artist has to say. Make stuff up; that's what I believe! Best of luck with your painting - nobody is obliged to follow what I teach, there are many roads to Ross as my uncle says (when in fact, there are only six.)
Kevin
Nice.
A very difficult exercise working so small.
You can do it! You can go a little bigger to start off. The point is that you have to depart from perfect reproduction because you can't get into detail..
Too bad Vermeer didn't know these tips !
You're talking about Johannes' less famous brother, Wayne Vermeer.
wow !!! what an interesting mess
Thank you!
