Feeling into Your Art - Bibby Gignilliat - The Art2Life Podcast Episode 140

[@mindful2me]

I needed a break from all the doom and gloom in the world… this hour was just what I needed. So inspiring and uplifting, spreading paint around while chatting is pure joy.

[@JaneFeigenson]

thank you!!! I loved watching and listening. Working abstract is fun and yet grueling. I need to step back and breathe more while in process. I learned so much from this. Can't thank you enough

[@Janny94550]

The most fun in your podcast career ever! Nick you are so impressive and inspiring in art and in life. Thank you for everything and for introducing us to Bibby Gignilliat. You’re both brilliant.

[@ssnroebl]

I just LOVED this hour..............My face is fatigued from the super grin I have had - and still have. Thanks for sharing!!

[@martinacolombresART]

😂 Nick… saying… I just wanted to stop doing it so I can go back to my painting! As always… such a joy to enjoy these podcasts with painting sessions… and I absolutely love BB! I have been following her for quite some time now… and I am always mesmerized by her work!❤ Thank you both!

[@SingYourselfWell]

LOVED this one. It was as if I was there with you just hanging out, talking art and life, and painting! Thank you Nick and Bibby!

[@leonormartinez6378]

Awesome session. I’m so inspired. Thank you Bibby for sharing your journey.

[@janinafisher101]

I really enjoyed this painting session with Bibby, and the conversation. I love watching her paint too, and I hope you do more paint sessions together with her like this!

[@sarahmcgrath9150]

This was just so wonderful to watch. I am grateful.

[@leesvision]

This was really interesting, watching how the works came together influenced by the conversation, and after a while both works start to mirror each other in certain ways, yet also both also different with different energy. ❤

[@kayfoster9885]

I love this. I haven't been painting and this might just get me back on track. Thank you both!

[@vickyventer7488]

LOVING LOVING LOVING this interview and conversation .....just what I need thank you - both of you brilliant 🥰

[@jomassey4207]

These sharing time painting with other artists is THE BEST THING EVA!!! LOVING THESE . PLease continue them, Jo.😊❤

[@cholmanholman]

These paintings look so great next to each other🙂

[@susanrossman9314]

Wonderful episode! Would love to know specific brand of the buttery paint stick. 🙏 Thanks!

[@nancyfern8044]

Greatest one ever! You could do this with each of the abstract artists in your building. So fun to see you painting large, Nick & Bibby, too.

[@annrubino6252]

Thank you for this terrific gift. So exciting to watch both of you painting and discussing openly about all that drives you. You seem to be kindred spirits of the deepest kind.

[@soulflowerartstudio]

I enjoyed this SO MUCH! Two of my favorite artists painting together! Yay! I will be rewatching it a few times for sure. Since you are in the same building, please make more videos of you painting together :) Thank you!

[@gillyslikejillysart7458]

Great video! Bibby s motivation totally resonated with me. I just finished my first round at cvp, and I honestly wondered why more metaphysical energy resources were not incorporated. When Bibby started speaking today, I was like YES there it is. For many of us we are walking energy beings creating art from our souls. It would be lovely to have energy workers facilitating more of this channeling in cvp (just my intuitive opinion). The power is there for so many of us❤❤❤. Thanks so much Bibby and Nick.

[@jessicaflemister4825]

This was soooo good! I love her she said so much that I agree with! Her energy is amazing!!! I wanna learn from her (as she would say…but for real I do lol)

[@MariainTheWNCMountains]

So beautiful and inspiring to see how much Bibby admires Nick I could see it through ❤ it touched my heart greatly. I enjoyed this episode soooo much! Love you both ❤ thanks for sharing so much from you with us….and yes your work is lovely and sparks and reflects joy and freedom besides great beauty!

[@mariannemitchellwholeart]

Great to see you two painting together. How fun and inspiring. And yes, 100% ... I too have found for myself and artists I work with that making art is a way to becoming the best version of ourselves. Wonderful. Thanks for the video.

[@Titanum77]

Omg!!! I love this - a visual podcast with my favourite artists Nick and Bibby!! ❤❤❤

[@jgrasamke]

So good, a ton of useful information....and I love you both. I have been using wall paint for a long time, love the coverage. Thank you for sharing....

[@Mizz-x5c]

Love the work and conversation!

[@sandiego2113]

THANKS SO MUCH fun to watch... At the 36/37 minute mark you talk about something that you were using. For gluing & as a finish(top coat) Can you tell me what it is ??? 🙂

[@Invi-m7e]

Yes I'd love to know too! thanks Bibby & Nick

[@debbieclarkston2150]

Amazing!!! Thank you both...

[@loriesadler4273]

Yes. Amazing video here. Bibby was my very first workshop that got me into art. She is a great teacher!! Yes want the links for products like Bibby supplies. Please!!

[@mai-brittsevel9121]

Amazing. I love both your work and your process. And it's so fun to see how different your approaches to the canvas are; Bibby is back and forth, quick strokes and marks. Nick; quietly, relaxed and painting larger areas. It must be a reflection of your different personalities. So amazing to watch. Love it

[@Helena-bc2gv]

Loved it. Great conversation and also getting lot of tips. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@BertieFinlay]

She has such a wonderful energy.

[@Aloyah56]

OMG so much fun to watch!!

[@carmennavar6961]

Wow I am watching this again love Bibby’s energy and comments so authentic. Yes I can see why her ART sells is has so much soul. Thank you for introducing her to us. Also love your teaching and am excited about the bread crumb challenge next week. Thanks so much.

[@heikestockhardt6774]

It was so much fun watching you both...and it's really inspiring, please more of this!!! Thank you thank you...!!!😍🥰🙋

[@sukanyaramakrishna668]

Waiting for this episode and it is so great to see and hear two great artists paint and talk art ❤

[@paulinehumphreys8780]

That was fantastic! Wonderful to watch you both painting!

[@KittehNow]

This was such an enjoyable video. The conversation, ideas, feedback, materials, and the actual work even at its beginning stages was exciting fun and Lively

[@margaretmcdonald8029]

So much fun. Nick’s piece has a black line that leads off the edge and comes back in. You get the sense the missing part was there. That’s what he was saying to Bobby at the very end.

[@TerriKash-NEO]

Love paint together videos.

[@sheilagilleland4312]

Wow, so cool! two great artists at work.

[@maxnorth7922]

This is an interesting event. Please do more with other artists... Excellent!

[@artfrey]

Been studying with Dr. Joe for years now!! Interesting painting time together.

[@suzanne7935]

Loved this hour and all the ideas you riffed between each other!

[@liesbeth1611]

brilliant, loved every bit of it!

[@ellenbarnett5199]

Loved watching you do art and talk at the same time. I felt free watching you. Thanks

[@SuperFiona91]

I find this format much better than the switching between face and painting on the table.

[@lisaruchstudio]

Love the physicality of how this looks... Working large. Definitely inspirational when I have a wall I can use!

[@mayankdharia5967]

Wonderful…Enjoyed whole podcast…and process….

[@eileenmills9471]

Nicks contrast in size is working really well for me.

[@artofvchannel9430]

ืthank you so much for both of you wonderful time and so inspired...

[@jpfa4808]

A good video, thanks to both of you. Favorites!

[@debmurphy1257]

Greatly enjoyed this podcast.

[@kymcrowart7876]

We can use art to become the best version of ourselves! This!

[@eka9916]

Awesome Session, you guys ❤

[@susanmccormick4349]

I loved this painting video with you and Nick! Very inspirational! And you said something that resonated for me that you are shy when you are not confident. I’ve often said I’m shy when I’m not comfortable but I think your formulation is more accurate. So I learned from this video, both in art inspiration terms and more importantly, in terms of self-knowledge and acceptance. Thank you!

[@k8marlowe]

Wow. You both are so inspiring. Bibby, my experience with art was so similar. I took an art class and was convinced that I was the only one who had no talent. I walked away from painting, then. But, as has always been the case for me, I continued to feel compelled to create. I only decided to try painting again about 5 years ago, and it’s so encouraging to see success stories like yours!

[@briceduncanartworks3790]

I too, work intuitively and spontaneously. Full time artist is next!

[@lilacmoonyoga4254]

I have 3 art degreees and I have been so blocked for years until I found the Breadcrumb challenge. all through art college I could not work out how to bring my spiritual practice into my work. I felt it had to be one or the other and no tutor could understand or help until now! I am beyond excited to go big and bold and remember who I am and why I came her and to focus on my authenticity and bringing that into my work. thank you so much. I am beyond grateful. What more ius possible? and how does it get better than this? If you know, you know.

[@333peppy333]

I am new to your channel. I am drawn to your topics and feel that they are important subjects for artists, particularly newer artists or artists who haven't figured out how to step out with their work in confidence. My own best friend struggles because a teacher told her she was doing it wrong in grade school. It holds her back and she paints with fear. She doesn't understand that you have to do lots of work and experiment and follow your gut instinct as well as taking classes and having mentorship. These "parallel play" sessions you do where you both create work and talk to each other are wonderful. I tried this with my friend several times but the stress she brings into the studio obstructs our ability to just paint freely and chat. My ideal studio session would look a lot like this one. So thank you for setting this example out here for us to see.

[@poppopopp-k3j]

This was a cool cool video with so much interesting information! Thank you so much. Aside from that it made me wanna run back to my own canvas and continue to work😂. I felt inspired.

[@Happy2bwoman906]

So enjoyable x two

[@kimberlyk.untersee7009]

This is so good-I am just starting to read Joe Despenza!! You are both so inspirational.❤

[@juliebabb3365]

great to see you two playing together!

[@juliewolman9153]

Love this one !!!! Where is the list of materials- there are a lot of great ideas

[@miahozona]

Enjoying the convo! As always. 😀 Just for the record for people listening though, Joe Dispenza is not a neuroscientist 🙏🏼 but an author, a devoted researcher, and of course an international speaker and educator. He has a big science team working with him at the events and outside of them.

[@pyromancyglassart8975]

I just found you from Lois Fletcher. She mentioned you in the classes that you have. I’m blown away. It’s so true what you say I can’t wait to do your breadcrumb course

[@constance9789]

I used bleach yn sta-wet trays for acrylic and still got mold so art enthus on paint chat episode said he/she used peroxide often during session that stops the mold she/ he said they never got mold. 3% peroxide in spray water bottle.

[@BrittaJewelry]

such great information! Thank you!

[@yinchimoon]

I loved seeing how each of you worked completely differently - there was quite a different energy in each of you which was transmitted into each of your work and was the more obvious from them sitting alongside each other . I felt uncomfortable at the end with the asking for and giving of advice .... I am not sure whether it was because there was the former teacher/student dynamic or just that I feel it's somehow counter to this idea that our art emerges from within us and therefore someone else advising us what to do is just another version of the conditioning we have all grown up in about be like this and not like that. I can also see the value in ideas such as coming in from outside so just wanted to put it in the mix as a discussion.

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

good point. he was my first teacher which was where that came from

[@lightcardsatlisas3932]

Thank you ❤❤

[@donrogers776]

I would love to know which containers Bibby uses for her pre-mixed paints, been looking for something similar for a long time.

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

send me an email and i will provide a link

[@kari-annwilhelm4994]

Fantastic. Do you gesso the canvas before you use the house paint? Thank you

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

sometimes but not always. i usually paint it with housepaint

[@pamelabrowne3684]

How do you make the house paint archival?

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

i put a uv varnish on it

[@davedunn-y6v]

At 33:12 Bibby mentions a product that is some sort of acrylic paint stick that behaves like an oil stick. I'm unaware of any such product. Sure there are acrylic markers like Posca, but those don't behave and make marks like an oil stick. Can someone please prove me wrong and tell me what this miracle brand/product is?

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

sakora

[@jessicaflemister4825]

I was wondering the same thing! I’m definitely going to look into it. Looked like it went on so buttery and smooth

[@MarcoHuncho]

It might be something Nicholas uses on his art. I know he has an episode talking about those paint sticks, just type in "Nicholas Wilton Paint Sticks"

[@isaacdogkeith9230]

I Love this So much! Does anyone know what "oil " stick/ acrylic stic she is using around minute 33? Thanks.

[@Kim-hb2qi]

This was great. Thank you. What are the acrylic sticks that Bibby uses, or where can I find them?

[@roseannehebert3682]

You made me laugh out loud, thank you

[@kristinaalvinasophiajonass5798]

Which materials brands do you use? To example the buttery paintstick and varnish?

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

sakora for solid markers and Varathane for the varnish (water based in the green can)

what is that tissue paper called that takes the paint and where do you buy it? thanks... inspiring and fun to watch you two paint 💫

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

What product is used to adhere the collage pieces?

[@marianburns7474]

What brand of varnish/glue/topcoat do you use?

[@marymilton9045]

Has anyone been able to find the cool caddy with lid from The Container Store that Bibby was using? I have checked online but could not find it. Bibby said it was called The Caddy and then you could buy the separate eight plastic containers that she used for the paint. Thank you!

[@TJ-jq9bz]

What was she saying she uses for her top coat Satin finish??

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

Varathane water based varnish in the GREEN (not blue) can

[@summerjones6807]

what is the name of the medium u use to affix your Geli pictures or collage papers?

[@markmcmnmn111]

Thanks for an amazing interview! Watching both of you painting 'large' was a real treat! I got so many tips and tricks including being able to use 'house paint'! What a great idea!!! Can I ask what was the 'glue' you both used to adhere the papers and as a finish on the works? Bobby, I have joined you on Instagram! You are an inspiration! My takeaway, 'just do i, before you're ready!' fantastic! Thanks xx ps.

I think if you use boiled water to spritz your paint trays, it won't go stinky 😅

Great video but the number of ads is very disruptive and disconcerting.

[@db52]

They have no control over that, if you are using a free account you will get ads.

[@sueflanagan5521]

I love watching this process but house paint is not archival. It isn't meant to last more than about 10 years.

[@bibbygignilliat3142]

i use and UV varnish over it that protects it.

That is awesome guys; I learned so much. Thanks for sharing.🫶
