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

[@sdouba]

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

[@denicase9444]

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

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

[@annread1564]

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]

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

[@lefthandstory1280]

Nice😃awesome friend👍❤️

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, left.

[@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

[@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
