[@josephrapp7211]

Your work deserves Museum exhibition!

[@user-rv7ph1jl5y]

Hello. Great video. Would anyone know what the small walls are built with and how are they conneced to the floor ? Are they on wheels or nailed into the floor itself.?? Ty

[@user-rv7ph1jl5y]

Would love to know too. Any suggestions if walls are being created out doors?

[@valsoraj9]

Love Pamela,love her videos

[@kristiinasakai9957]

All i can say is WOW! You are teaching me things, principals of art and design, I didn't learn in art school 50 years ago. It was the Vietnam War era and moratoriums and protest. Did not do much art for decades. Now retired, I want to give it another try. I have watched maybe half of all your videos on KZbin and have learned so much and I thank you so much for for everything you are giving and sharing . Really so very generous of you!

[@lisafred1362]

You are a breath of fresh air. I have been so busy figure drawing...beating myself up. I really have to do something wild and crazy like this. I wish my husband would let me do this in our small small apt. It is snowing in NYC so no place to go outside either. But I can watch you and smile... When I got my first covid shot the other day I thought, I am one step closer to a workshop with you!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Aw-that is super great to hear! You can have fun in any surface with any medium of any size. I often work on smaller 5x7in paper; you could sneak it in the bathroom if you had to, haha 😊

[@VinicioAyala-oy1ty]

Beautiful ,I just started following what you do

[@timgarrity158]

I absolutely love you Pam, I bought your beautiful book and I follow you online. You've helped me become a better artist.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Aw, Many Thanks! I really appreciate that and am so happy to hear you are reaching your personal artistic goals! Way to go!! ;)

[@StudioYulianto]

Teknik yg perlu di coba, cukup mudah dilakukan namun dapat menghasilkan efek yg mengejutkan. Salam

[@ArtByHazel]

Glad to find you here as I get to master my skill. Blessings to all the self-taught artists! 🥳

[@Consciousnessdoor]

One of (many) favorites so far! Thank YOU!!!!!

[@devandestudios128]

I absolutely love how expressive your works are. Watching you work is a pure joy.

[@candaceboyd9201]

I LOVE this video! The expression with all the different tools, I can't wait to try this.

[@annehanley4957]

So much fun to see what you are using for tools. I too am experimenting, from my rice paper to canvas and then heavier paper with hot wax, watercolor, acrylic and charcoal. love to watch you. Thank you!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Many thanks, Anne 😊

[@annehanley4957]

@@PamelaCaughey Would love to attend a workshop when things get back to normal. Put me on your list! Thank you.

[@fatoomgierdien2181]

Wow wow!! A fantastic lesson!! Full of great tips and innovative techniques!! Thank you much. Cape Town

[@PamelaCaughey]

Many thanks Fatoom! You are very welcome 😊😊

[@sledding9606]

Hi. What a wonderful demonstration. Luv it and thanks for sharing. The end result looks good enough for framing and selling. Many thanks

[@wendyket]

I continue to marvel at your demo videos. They are so incredibly instructive for me, both technically and in terms of experiencing process. You are so brave to film yourself working! I am still very uncomfortable with people watching me work. The tool you made is a fantastic idea to distance yourself somewhat from control, which can often be a hindrance in the beginning. Please keep these videos coming. It's almost as helpful as being in a live workshop!

[@PamelaCaughey]

HI Wendy! Thanks so much for your comment - so appreciated!! I am happy to share and I'm in introvert so I'm not really sure how or why I don't care about people watching me paint - haha! I think it's because I love teaching; so if these videos are helpful, it is all worth it! Thanks again for stopping by! :)

[@judykalin6241]

I absolutely love watching you. You are amazing the way your mind works.

[@juliao1255]

The rod idea tickles my artistic fancy. I must give it a try. In fact, I have one on a spring I think I will try. You are inspiring to me!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Awesome! Wish I could see what you create! The wire was very springy and fun to use 😊

Wooww, thanks for sharing your technique and ideas!!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Thanks for the great comment and for visiting my channel, Susan ;)!! Pam

[@RLDSTUDIO]

Years ago in art school I learned that Matisse painted with a brush attached to the end of a long pole and I always wanted to try it. Never saw anyone else do that, so it was really neat to see you try it. I'm going to try that in a video on my art channel soon. I really love the idea of just playing around to see what directions comes from letting go and exploring. I think that is super important and I currently feel like I'm in the middle of a long phase of abstract exploration. I also appreciate the tips and techniques you share - love the mono print gesso transfer technique, have to try that. Thanks for making these videos.

[@beatrixschalk4843]

great vid! I love watching other artists work and really get into it! FYI the brown paper is used by house painters. There is a tool that is like a packing tape dispenser that holds the roll of paper and masking tape. As it rolls out it puts the masking tape on the edge of the paper. Used to for masking larger spaces, windows, etc. Its nice to draw on too.

[@suzannekfoury4453]

Do you puta fixative over your graphite before you add color/ paint?

[@tomswindle6087]

I see a lot of Klien in that image (de Kooning too). I've done a ton of stuff in B&W. I never get tired of it.

[@candacetroystudios]

My first time watching you Pam. Loved your approach.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Candace Thanks for watching, 😊

[@leonardorubio9284]

wow! your paintings and videos are both a work of art. I am from Mexico and here I work that brown paper (craft paper) making what we call cartoneria, I never imagined using it in paint, greetings

Love it

[@MacLeanLauri]

Very cool! Your techniques are exquisite.

[@elen_gdl]

Fabuloso! Gracias!

I loved watching your piece evolve. Each step looked like a finished piece. It was truly beautiful to watch. I also learned a tremendous amount of new ideas! So fun! ❤️

[@helenkeen3476]

Hi Pam.. I have been playing this week with acrylics and finishing off with a bit of cray pas and graphite pencil... what would you suggest please - that I use to create a finish/seal?

Gotta admit Pamela you're pretty good.Damn.Better than good.I learned a lot from you.Thanks.

[@robertwilliamsmales8094]

This looks SO MUCH FUN ! :-)

[@PamelaCaughey]

I was! You should definitely try it, Rob :)!!

[@BettyFranksArt]

Loved watching you! The rolls of paper are used by painters with their tape gun (tape+paper) to seal off baseboards, etc. I like the way you're using it!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Thanks, Betty - yes I love all the different sizes of the brown paper rolls! ;)

[@umpoucodetudobydianawest7519]

Hi... can you tell me what paper do you use? And we can varnish after paint? Thanks

Really fun 🌷

I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[@christian53050]

Is the gesso in the squirt bottle something that can be bought in that consistency in that bottle or is the gesso "self mixed" and transfered to that bottle?

Good idea about the rod!

[@PamelaCaughey]

It was a lucky find - it was in the lumber section haha! ;)

[@Andihollywood71]

Love this video and an on watching all your videos! I'm wondering what type of large paper are you painting on (not the brown paper) and if I were to create a painting on that type of paper and loved it, could it be somehow transferred to a canvas? Thanks!

[@LisaBBoardwine]

Terrific video Pam!

Thanks, Lisa!

what type and brand of paper you use?

Hi there it is strathmore mixed media paper-it is listed in the resource section of my website: www.artandsuccess.com 😊

[@wendyjackson3045]

Good afternoon, can this painting be done on canvas?

[@angelaleemcintyre5202]

where, oh, where do you find those square graphite blocks? (Is that what they are?) Thanks, Pam. Love the videos and your work is wonderful!!

Hi Angela! Those are the Artgraf blocks! I have links to all my favorite art supplies at my website if you'd like to find them easily ;) www.artandsuccess.com/p/resources

[@bobmorr2892]

Wow pretty cool, but I think it looked the best at about 12 minutes and 10 seconds.

[@marylouniebrugge9174]

I would like you to explain the inns you are using as you go-like what was the first thing you were rubbing on the paper.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Hi Marylou - I use lots of graphite powder and water soluble mark making tools - they are all listed on my website under "Resources" at www.Artandsuccess.com ! Thanks! Pam

[@victorcold46]

' I guess the longer it is the less control you have' .... priceless!! i liked the look in to the camera too :D. btw great vid

[@Michelle-hg3sv]

That was fantastic, Pam! I'm trying to figure out how to rearrange my house, so I can get some space to work messy and big. You mentioned that to use cold wax, you'd have to apply a layer of clear gesso. Is that because of the paper substrate or do you need that layer between acrylic or ink and wax? Thanks so much for this! I love watching you work, actually Play!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Hi Michelle - yes, the clear gesso has absorbancy, which is kind of essential for oils to adhere to the substrate. The acrylic paint can be glossy, so it really is a good thing to use the clear gesso! :)

[@bonnie_nelms]

This was great! Frustrating though when sound went out for last few minutes when clearly you were talking as you worked, not time-lapse. It did come back at the very end but I would like to have heard what you were saying as you used the scraping tool. Thank you for sharing your process...just what I needed to see today. 🙏

[@barbaraclark249]

why use both white acrylic and gesso some of the sound went off like what youdid

[@PamelaCaughey]

The gesso is really very opaque; there is no sound when the video is sped up! :)

[@susancostello8789]

Pam, Thank you for showing us another wonderful process video! So helpful to show the obliteration process as it can be so hard to "let go". Quick question: Did you say you mixed the white gesso with white titanum acrylic in the squeeze bottle for the mono printing? ...or you have a bottle of each? :) Thx u!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Susan Costello -hi -I have a bottle of each and like the white gesso (and sometimes black) because of its opacity compared to the titanium white 😉

[@susancostello8789]

Thank you Pam! Happy New Year! :)

[@hertak.5252]

WOW, ... ich bewundere Ihre Technik !!! Ganz ganz großes Lob ♥ Sie kommen auch sehr sympatisch rüber, ... eine wirklich tolle Künstlerin ♥ Mit Untertitel in deutscher Sprache wäre toll !!!

[@johnjames3286]

You kept the rod short this maintaining control somewhat, you should use it at full extent to completely be out of vontrol

[@abstractbybrian]

I wish I wouldn't have quit!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Haha - begin again :)!

[@abstractbybrian]

@@PamelaCaughey That's exactly what I did much to my wife's chagrin after I donated all of my supplies away to the local artist group in town. Live and learn. Best decision ever to come back with a new positive attitude. Starting over is very refreshing.

[@zurronna]

Great!!

[@PamelaCaughey]

I'm glad you stopped by - thanks, Lourdes :)!!

[@cdronk]

I've watched a number of your video's and I think your work is good. The video's are both informative and entertaining. I enjoy watching your techniques unfold into a finished piece. That said, the only question that comes to mind is whether or not you are single. I know... weird right?

[@abstraddic0442]

Please don't ruin this for everyone else Sir. Thank you so much for just being respectful.

[@cdronk]

Utmost respect Ma'am

[@justino2096]

but you never showed the final result as a whole

[@candacetroystudios]

Only problem I have is that the sound cut out many times. may be on my end.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Candace - it may be due to your internet access as it plays fine for me 😉

[@marylouniebrugge9174]

Dead silence in parts of the video

[@PamelaCaughey]

There is silence whenever the video is time lapsed - so this is intentional

[@u7617]

Wait so this is art. This is how you people do contemporary art. Hmm

[@BenHall289]

Of course it is. Do you think that photo realistic style of painting is Art?
