This was very helpful, thank you! I'd love to see you make a video about how you come up with subject concepts for your work. How do you choose what to paint? Is there a story or message you are intentionally communicating with your art, or is it more intuitive?

Great picture. It’s clear that you managed to capture the essence of the moment and convey certain emotions-like nostalgia and sadness. It’s hard for me to describe because this is something I deeply value in paintings: the ability to capture a fleeting moment, a certain mood, or emotions that are difficult to express. And you’ve truly succeeded in doing that here. I also have a question: I’d like to learn how to paint myself, but I have absolutely no idea where to start. Do you recommend any guides or tutorials? In the video, there’s a part where you’re teaching a friend how to paint-what kind of exercises or tasks do you assign her, for example?
@ThomMinnickArtКүн бұрын
She had some experience with painting beforehand. So we were just breaking down a portrait. I highly recommend @paintcoach he has some great tutorials out there for painters starting out!

Dude you're amazing. Love everything about your paintings! Subject, composition, the lighting, man, the lighting! _The five of us_ I think its called, breathtaking, epic. Your paintings are vibrant, voluptuous and distinctly destructive in some weird way. They're all fantastic; the energy of your paintings, I'm a huge fan! And now prints for only 50 and paintings for a 1000 bucks... I can only afford the 50 bucks print of the original, but man, I would proudly put your paintings on my wall!!

Hey man, love the videos. Do you mind me asking roughly how much each print costs you to make? The equipment looks expensive, the time it takes looks like a lot of effort and it looks like you may absorb some costs given things going wrong every now and then. But that all said, I’m interested about getting into this and if I could get to a stage anywhere near yours I’d have a lot of fun and find it very fulfilling

@TheGoodContent37Күн бұрын
Photographer here: You should raise your F stop at least to steps to get a sharper image and reduce your shutter speed to compensate. Also the polarizing filter on the lens is all you need. Glare also depends on the angle of the subject with respect of the light source. Just adjust the angle of the painting or cover the light a little like you did.
@ThomMinnickArtКүн бұрын
Noted! Will do next time. As for the glare it doesn’t work for me if i only use the filter on the lens. At least not as well. Gets rid of like 80% of the glare

Hey man, in your video where you prime with oil paint you say that it sucks, because of drying time and smell. I had the same problem untill i watched colley whissons video where he uses hardware store acrylic paint that dries to a similair finish to oil paint. Its worked for me, but im not super sure about the archivelness of it all

@ThomMinnickArt I can't get that new York apartment feeling from that painting outta my head. It's fantastic. The angle and use of space, it's so good. And those dishes and pot on the stove.... I can't stop exploring the possibility of what she might cook or who she cooks for etc, I haven't been as emotionally invested in a painting since visiting some of the major galleries and museums on the east coast of the u.s. it's truly a great painting my friend. I thought I'd let you know how much it's calling to me. Thanks for sharing.
