That was another great blog. I’m in love w/ the Turner Yellow. Really appreciated your excellent explanation about why artists often struggle not to overwork a painting. It is the bane of my existence right now, but Push on!

2/15/2022 USA Grandpa Bill: Jess, not that I'm an expert or proper critic in these matters, but one who has made so many mistakes they form a dictionary, I think your negative emotions catapulted and engineered the heavy-handedness. You departed from your beginning delicacy, elegance, descending into the maelstrom of overcompensation. I think that if you had waited a bit longer to clear your heart, and tried to remember your original exquisite state, your overall outcome would have been masterful. I really liked the upper portion of your problem painting and felt turned off by the lower darker half. Had the lower half been lightened maybe 50%, a better balance would have been achieved. I enjoyed your tour with Michael Harding. You have turned me toward him and I'll be buying his paints in the future. I deeply respect his whole development. I've stumbled into your vlog, and hope I haven't been too presumptuous. I'm just a 74 year old sometimes artist with a respectable history of errors.

Hi Jess, enjoying the various stages presented in your vlogs. I have just set up a studio area in my old french:Breton attic, so thanks very much for the insights and advice. Totally appreciate your Michael Harding vlog, which links superbly with my searches (W&N etc) on You Tube. Have a great Xmas, give the dog a bone 🍖. A’bientot from Cleguerec. 💙🤍❤️🍷😷🎨

I would buy the clear and white and black and mix acrylic color into the clear or white to ge the different colors instead of buy each one. oh and have any number of other ground colors to choose from as well. just a thought

Fun to watch you paint. I am going to try that technique with the clouds. Globs of white paint into wet background. I wanted to know if one should sand in between coats of the primer. As long as it doesn't contain any lead, it should be okay to do that.

Yes sanding In between layers of primer is a good practice depending on your preferred surface texture 👍🏻

loving everything. The paintings you're doing look amazing! Certainly not as good as in real life. Was wondering...between water color, acrylic and oil, value is put more in oil. It would be interesting to have an episode of why that is so and how it came about to be so...objectively. Also, maybe a two cents in the future of NFTs...subjectively. Can't wait though for the next episode.

One perspective is that 'clothes made from silk are more expensive than polyester' oil is usually a more expensive medium with a richer history association - particularly with colours such as Lapis Lazuli, Chinese Vermillion and Genuine Naples Yellow etc/ perhaps also hours spent at an oil are longer as the medium allows for more 'working'? Watercolours can sell for significant prices, as can more modern synthetic mediums.. so I think oil being the most 'established/lavish' medium might be changing as our medium options become more prolific and accessible! NFTs are becoming collectors items too now as our technology progresses.. Its always changing! Oil lasts hundreds of years, maybe its that to artists it nods to the past but also will surpass your lifetime into the future?.... Something to research definitely!

@@ArtLifeWeekly thank you for the concise and very enlightening answer. The exotic aspect and longevity provide enough reason. If you do delve into the subject that would be intriguing. Once again, thank you!

Another is, even though watercolor is the hardest of all to master, everyone used them. Let us not forget water and milk based pigment paints go back as far as humanity itself. Before the modern age an elite woman's education consisted of dance, sewing and painting. Every woman was an artist. Often far superior to male artists. The greatest sculpture of the renaissance wasn't Michelangelo. It was a woman named Properzia de' Rossi. Michelangelo, it is recorded, wept when he set eyes upon her work in a blind church submission. When she won and was revealed to be a woman she was tortured, imprisoned and spend the remainder of her existence locked up in a convent. But I digress. Watercolor was used by all and often as a medium of study. It wasn't until albrecht durer used watercolor as a finished work that watercolor began to be taken seriously; however, because every woman could do it and do it exceptionally well, it wasn't considered of value. Even Durer's watercolors weren't taken serially until the modern age. I also think this could be because cotton paper was damn near free. I know modern scholars like to pretend paper was expensive or hard to come by and everyone was illiterate, but this simply is not true at all. The bone collector also collected workout linens and cotton underwear people no longer wore. When he wasn't crushing bone for fertilizer he crushed these clothes to make cotton rage paper. One could buy a pint of coffee, a hunks of bread and a wedge of cheese for morning meal from a street vendor for a single penny. Whereas I've could buy a pound of 100% recycled cotton paper for a penny. Hence why the original victorian Christmas decorations and gifts were created from paper. Everyone, even a homeless peasant could afford paper and watercolors. Books didn't become expensive until the plague reached Europe. Why? Had nothing to do with paper. It was because scribes lived in close quarters. They were "dropping dead like the plague". It wasn't the paper which made books expensive. It was the scribe and when only 1 out of a 100 lived to be able to transcribe he could charge immensely for his services. So too land workers. Anyway, because watercolor was painted by every educated woman and on nearly free paper with nearly free pigments no value was seen in them. After all, most simply went into their back yards to dig up their own pigments. Grew and collected flowers to make pigments. They really only had to add a little binder (honey, gum arabic, etc) and water and there they had it. That's why watercolor was never seen as valuable.

love ur vid and just subscribed! curious about how u stabilized the canvas on the wall? did you just tape the canvas sheet and how did u actually keep the stretched canvas unmoved while slaping on colors on the wall??

@ArtLifeWeekly 2 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment Alexa! Welcome to Art Life 👋🏻 - yes I use masking tape to secure the canvas but only because it was a small bit of canvas and a fresh clean wall, any bigger and I would have used staples
