094- Pamela Caughey BIG CHALLENGE - 7'x8' Acrylic Mixed Media on Canvas

[@robertstotesbury8005]

Very nice video!

[@sallysims5090]

Thanks for sharing your explorations. :)

[@beverlyrandolph3544]

I really enjoy you creating various paintings. I notice on your cart you have a roll of brown paper; what type of paper? Is this considered brown craft paper?

[@PamelaCaughey]

Hi Beverly - you can find these rolls in different widths at any hardware store - they are used by painters to protect the floor and walls!

[@rebecca_8888]

Absolutely adorable and so inspiring!!!!

Thanks Pamela, very much enjoyed watching this video. What is most striking for me is that everything you do makes sense. Even when you say you are just playing and exploring. You bring so much experience and talent already in these stages. Love to see the endresult of this piece!

It is quite the workout, as I found out! Wait till you see Part 2; I spent a lot of time doing deep knee bends while I worked on the lower portion of the canvas. :) (Please check out my new online Video Library (coming soon): airtable.com/shrhbWcFM2nS5B8Dy)

I had the privilege of seeing this up close and personal at the Grange potluck/fundraiser. What a thrill to see the process. Thx Pam

[@PamelaCaughey]

Thanks so much, Leisa! Hope you are doing well :)!!

[@nancyfern8044]

This is so exciting & beautiful. Certain areas reminiscent of DeKooning. Pam you are very creative. Love all the action. Of course, you must include this in your show. It will be the first to sell!!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Well, we just had our very first granddaughter. I didn't mention this during the video, but our little granddaughter's name is Willa Revel so, with so much joy I wanted to do this large painting and will probably call it "Reveling in Joy" :) (Please check out my new online Video Library (coming soon): airtable.com/shrhbWcFM2nS5B8Dy)

[@Brandingenuity]

I love the sunny yellow beginnings!! So happy looking!

[@tomswindle6087]

Working 'loose' is very serious fun ! Look at de Kooning. His his whole process was about scooting paint around. The dangerous part of it is, not knowing when to stop and having a very expensive mud pie! 🙃

Pam! You are so darned inspiring!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Many thanks, Shellie - so happy you enjoyed it!

[@robertwilliamsmales8094]

Now this really is so exciting! Extremely interesting to hear about the different set of considerations that crop up when you paint large. And I love the fact you woke up thinking about shapes and colours - love those brain-whirrings just before you know you are going to dive straight into a painting. And wow, you really went did go for and got your hands dirty by the look of it!! I love the idea of leaving spontaneity as well. Looking AMAZING, I love it!

[@PamelaCaughey]

Yes, there were quite a few little surprises (or big ones!) while working on this scale :) How funny to think that a paint roller is now my new mark making tool! Thanks as always for your generous remarks and observations :)!!

[@NKWallace]

i am just mesmerized by watching you paint and your process. I am just beginning to try abstract acrylic painting. I don't really have any formal art training, so don't know what I'm doing, but I can't stop thinking about creating a big piece. Do you have a place where you list the types of surfaces you paint on, tape that you use to attach to the wall? Right now, i just have some small canvas boards to work on and two larger canvas boards that I want to paint on, but don't feel like I'm ready to (fearful). I also don't have a designated space to create art. Am working on my kitchen island, but it's cumbersome. Thank you for posting your beautiful videos.

[@martischmidt6412]

Wow, Pam! I am so impressed, what a great artistic athletic workout!! Watching you stretch to reach the top and then bend side to side spreading the paints so energetically I am amazed at the stamina. I absolutely love the color palette, YOU ARE A+ in all that you take on. Once again.....

[@ninalerm4980]

thank you, wonderful tutorial.

[@AndyMorrisArt]

Love it! our processes are very similar. I too rotate my canvas quite a bit. When I have a large unstretched canvas on my wall and get to a place where I want to rotate it, I let it dry overnight and then the next day just remove the pushpins and rotate it. I can't rotate it as often as I would normally with a stretched canvas, but it still gets rotated maybe 2 or 3 times at least.

[@dannistor7294]

...Miss Caughey's painted result looks quite fresh, as it should... ...I feel that Americans (and others imitating them) choose energy ("I looove the energy") over Design, which matches their make-up and short history... the painter's initial statement was clear and honest - "let's have fun and play" - so it's not the image that mattered, but the activity over the canvas (wrongly named "process" by scores of amateurs)...

[@PamelaCaughey]

Interesting observation-I consider “play” an important part of the artistic process 😄🐝🌻😊

[@joannavandeneijnden5437]

Inspiring

[@joannavandeneijnden5437]

Hi pamela can i ask you inbetween about ratio cold wax to oils, is it correct one to three galkyd gel to cold wax madium for flexibel canvas an 50/50 cold wax to oils for panel?

[@PamelaCaughey]

That is about right, Joanna, but I still don't think I would feel comfortable working with cwm/oil on canvas and intend to avoid it, just in case! (Please check out my new online Video Library (coming soon): airtable.com/shrhbWcFM2nS5B8Dy)

[@elizabethgilmore7300]

This was amazing! I wonder if you can do this with paper? I have a huge roll of heavy duty wc paper ! It looks like u used parts of it for individual paintings. Was this ultramarine and cad yellow with black and white?

[@dianehansma1725]

Your work is very inspiring and creative~~love it! Like you said "it has to speak to me". I want to use Marabu Art Crayons over my acrylic painting in some parts, for more depth and interest. I always varnish my work on canvas, but never used the Marabu art crayon before and I'm excited. So my question is~~~would I have to use a spray fixative to seal it or would varnish work? Thank you for your time and sharing your talents with us!! Warm greetings from Canada!!

[@carlafiocco4277]

Amazing, thanks for sharing How do you get the fluidity of the white dripping ? Just water in acrilyc paint? Which %? Cheers

[@maurob8586]

Very cool

[@debbiegarland7124]

Hi Pam, nice to watch the process right from the start. Do you know how the canvas will be mounted? It could also be cut up into the close up shots, it’s the actual finishing of the substrate that can be the big job sometimes! Today I am going to attempt to make a floating frame for one of my finished pieces on board, wish me luck :)

[@PamelaCaughey]

Hi Debbie! Yes, I do wish you luck - we all need a bit of that in our studios for sure. I hope I will not have to crop it but rather pull it together - we will see. I thought perhaps I would just stretch it over stretcher bars :) (Please check out my new online Video Library (coming soon): airtable.com/shrhbWcFM2nS5B8Dy)

[@robertlittle9167]

GORGEOUS.....!!!! it looks like a Willem de Kooning painting.... ( I don't know it that's a good or a bad thing )

[@karenmrathbun]

how long did it take you to feel like it was completed? i love how you began with all that yellow and reined it in with neutrals!

[@leonadillon1372]

Am looking at my 480' space, how can I go larger, floor, on my bed, have raw canvas, large, just needs rabbit skin glue or gesso. Thank you, Pamela, so inspiring for us.

[@PamelaCaughey]

Many thanks, Leona - if you want to go larger, yes you could work on the floor. You could also work on a diptych or triptych and piece them all together? Please check out my new online Video Library (coming soon): airtable.com/shrhbWcFM2nS5B8Dy

[@diannegrob2930]

I love the whimsy of this painting and the way you dance with the canvas. One question: how do you keep your brushes so clean?

[@junemarshall6680]

Hi Dianne, the best way is to just clean them right away after you've finished your painting session. I use baby wipes for the handles and a pot of water to swish them through. Later I give them all a good wash with plain soap and hot water to soften them all again. The baby wipes are good for squeezing out the excess paint from the fibres of the brushes. If we love and value our brushes we won't let them get into a state. I revere my brushes and collect them. I have a beautiful chinese brush my daughter gave me, it has a ceramic blue and white handle. hope this helps x

[@suesimpson7625]

I love this! It just inspired me so much and think I will attempt something like this in my upcoming three month residency. I will have the space and am so excited after watching you just go for it!

I get so much out of the part where u stand back from the play stage "mess" of a painting and speak so positively about what you like in it. It's helped me so much to be bold and keep the faith! Your faith is now based on 30 years of experience. Mine... not so much! Looking forward to next parts of this gigantic wonder 👍☺️🦸🏻‍♀️

Hi Pam. Thank you for sharing your skills. Lovely art. I wish you would explain more what exactly you are using, like first an acrylics, than what type of pencil or crayon or oil stick???You do not say anything. In the previous videos with oils stick and the cold wax again, please tell us what you are using and how.
