Abstracting the landscape - paint like Etel Adnan art

[@phillipsmith7759]

It seems like color choices become very important in these simplified abstracts. Thank you for the instruction.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

You're right, Philip, I just use my colors and, when visiting an exhibition recently, I noticed Etel Adnan has a better feel for color. 😉 Albert

[@soussaabbes7018]

Thank you very much. I love Etel Adnan poetry and painting. ❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Soussa. I love her artwork too. Albert

Thank you so much for introducing me to this wonderful lady!🙏❤

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Deni. My pleasure. She is also a poet, look up a video with an interview, amazing. Albert

[@marlo530]

Really enjoyed this practice! What I like most about your videos is my discovery of artists I've never heard of before + it continues to teach me to grow for my own art. Thank you very much for all your videos!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Marlo, I like it like this for the same reasons. Enjoy, Albert

Thanks so much for this video and for introducing Ethel Adnan. I must admit that I’ve never attended art lessons where the teacher was equally capable of simplifying and deconstructing concepts as you do. Love the channel!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Salim, thank you for the compliments. They mean a lot to me. Deconstructing is my way of trying to understand how anything in the world works. Nice to hear I can help you too. Bye, Albert

[@puravidamama]

Love your videos. Thank you for making them.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Puravidamama, enjoy painting like Etel Adnan. Albert

Etel used to teach at Dominican College. I met her and Simone through Ann O'Hanlon years ago. Glad to see her working with color. I buy her poetry whenever I can.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Ann, for sharing your story. Recently visited the exhibition in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. It's always lovely to see her artworks irl. Albert

[@annread1564]

@@ImperfectPaintings Lucky you!!! Enjoy. People like her are very special.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Indeed, thanks.

[@francavan1295]

Wow! I never painted with palette knives. Something new to try! Thank you!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Franca, thanks. It takes a little getting used to but is a wonderful technique. Albert

[@TJ-zs7gn]

I purchased my first palette knives in 2020 I’ve enjoyed using them. It’s only in 2020 I realised there are so many other ways to paint rather than just brushes.I love your colour choices here.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi TJ, thanks, thanks for sharing, I love stories like these. Happy painting with palette knives. Albert

[@lordoftheflings]

love your videos man, i just moved to a couple of months ago. I started painting and drawing during my isolation. Once covid is over would love to buy you a beer and chat about art.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Lord, thanks, I'm glad to be of service in these strange times. Looking forward to that drink, over here all restaurants, bars and so on are closed. I'm glad I still have my art. Albert

[@zennovice]

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Christine, thanks. It allmost looks top simple but she and her artwork are very interesting. Enjoy, Albert

[@atelier.cizmar]

this technique really fits to you, nice results, Albert! :-)

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Vojta, yes you're right. But it is also a combination of things that worked really well this time. And thanks for leaving a comment. Try it yourself sometime, maybe you'll surprise yourself too. Bye, Albert

[@finnmacleod258]

Great video! Could you share which type of paint and paper you would use? Thanks :)

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Fin, thanks. I use Winsor & Newton Galeria acrylics. And I use multipurpose paper 200 grams 50x65 cm. Hope this helps. Albert

[@carlosrocha6538]

Bom dia! Esta demonstração é com óleo ou acrílico? Muito obrigado.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

It's acrylics, Carlos, I almost always use acrylics, unless I say otherwise. Albert

[@annread1564]

Loved the music. Any credits?

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Ann, credits are always in the description below the video. Albert

[@alfredotobonpachon8801]

Thanks for this class. Is very nice. What kind of paper do you use?

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Alfredo, thanks. I use 200 grams universal drawing paper. Go to your local at supplies store to see what they have. But keep in mind never to use water, it will destroy the surface of your paper. What you can use is acrylic medium to make lighter colors. Hope this helps. Albert

[@carlosrocha6538]

👍👋

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Carlos.

[@richardzanetta3253]

Hi Richard, indeed it's a quality. Enjoy, Albert
