How I know what to do next in my art

[@sharonputman3633]

I’m a beginner & I just get mad & paint over the entire thing & then start over! You are such an amazing artist & teacher 😊👩🏻‍🎨

[@ChefDerek]

Haha, me too... Soon you'll get where you keep one then paint over the next 5, then keep another.... Keep going!!

[@gracefoster4861]

I love how you help me think about my art in different ways.

[@franceselizabethvanvelzen8555]

Great! So helpful and generous in sharing your process, which can seem like such mystery when you are starting out, like me. THANK YOU

[@miriammoyer7271]

Love the additional change of shape and proportion in the last painting! All three paintings moved up a few notches with the additions you made. 🎉

[@paintingzoneart4026]

Great learning about differences, thank you

[@jomassey4207]

Hi Chris, love your art philosophies. I think you are holding back massively in these paintings. This vlog is 4 yrs s you are so more expressive and unafraid to use colour now. I dare you to put a blind fold over your eyes and use a piece of soft black charcoal and draw from your gut. Play some music that moves you to dance or sing. The end result is not forvyou to worry about. The process is the journey...is the most important part of being in the moment. Changes can always be covered.❤ Jo.😊

[@greersommer3577]

You elevated my mood today, thank you 😊

[@KathleenSun-l6t]

That was helpful watching you go through each piece! Thank you for the video.

[@priyacibi1104]

Awesome.... this was really helpful. I love the way you teach ! There's so much generosity, humility and empathy in your approach .... feeling blessed that I found you ....

[@chrisruss9861]

I would come down with neurosis trying to resolve those painterly problems, but deeply admire your work.

[@anitajulaniya1959]

Seems I missed the free workshop but I am sure I will benefit from these KZbin sessions. Thanks so much. Happy to find a teacher who so genuinely shares the art and nuances.

[@jlou.316]

Thank you for sharing your processes...also love the floor ....

Mesmorising Nick!

[@KittehNow]

So helpful and interesting. ❤❤❤

[@irusankingofcats]

Greetings Nicholas, I'm back, had a blank spot for about three months while I concentrated on getting my website written and laid out with the web designer. Felt really isolated and cut off from my stream of consciousness that I normally work in every day, while I produce work.Found it hard to reactivate it. This is a really great video you have done here and it actually addresses the impasse from an artist's point of view. Found it very reflective and helpful. Thank you, wishing you continued success. Brian.

[@elizabethbarsanti4297]

Very interesting and useful critique, I get it.

[@lindahowe4159]

I am very new to art and particularly acrylics. I thought the way I was creating my art was a bit hit and miss - that I was doing it wrong. Then I saw your you tube channel and watched you having fun whilst creating your art. Thank you for sharing. Obviously I don't have your knowledge or skill level - I just love slapping on paint - until I find the shapes and colours which bring me real joy. I'll continue to follow you and learn as I go. Take care.

[@63artemisia63]

@ Linda Howe One thing I love about the way Nick and his CVP “graduate” Louise Fletcher teach art is that there’s no such thing as doing it “wrong.”

[@clairemackin2305]

It's so inspiring and instructive to watch you brain-storm and problem solve. I hope you'll loop back to these pieces with us again, so we can see how they resolve. Thank you so much for your generosity!

[@57mobird]

Thanks, I appreciate hearing you think out loud as you work!

[@epiphanycollective1060]

This is so helpful! Thank you very much! 😊

[@nanwhitney2639]

Thanks, this was helpful to see your suggestions in practice. I’m a visual learner and this worked!

[@maryfiore5905]

You have a gentle, open commentary that invites reflection and comment. You have a fabulous painting style that works well for you. I love your contrast of messy (mushy) edges and straight, sharp edges among many other aspects of your work. I found myself wincing a little watching you use the straight edge to create a sharp edge. I tend to use soft, more rounded edges. This inspired me to consider why.

[@candaceheidenrich6278]

Very sophisticated... yes to addition, subtraction, resizing shapes. Tres chic.

[@drgarywild7907]

This is extremely helpful in determining what is working and what is not working in any given piece

[@joannavandeneijnden5437]

So generous with information

[@harrietblank6812]

Great demo!! I try and guess what you will do next to see if I am on the right page. Thank you so much for the great inspiration!!!!

[@cynthiathomas262]

great teaching moment!! thanks for the good info,

[@gtberg]

I like the shapes you end up with in your paintings. Very inspiring to me.

[@63artemisia63]

Thanks for letting us look behind the scenes; it was exciting and enlightening! 🤯 I know I’m not the only viewer who would ❤️ to see the results!

[@susanrosen5828]

This is SO good!!! Thanks Nick! And by the way, when I come back in another life I want your hair gene!!!

[@Art2Life]

Susan Rosen haha! Thanks!

[@onaghash4111]

Excellent advice👏👏

[@monicastella9149]

When do you decide where focal point is to be? Do you want focal point to be Halloween thing?

[@d.debellis5091]

I was just thinking the Same. My husband would love to have Nick’s hair

[@meelcewicz-sz8mz]

When he wears black against a blue background and the light is darker, his hair glows. Episode 3 Art2Life24

[@franceeschloesser1862]

IT was very cool to watch you. Thank you!

[@lorraineerickson4311]

Very helpful. I’m just starting out with my art. I think everything I make is terrific. I know it isn’t really but I’m so amazed at what is happening to me.WO!

[@jhb61249]

Very nice pieces here. Will be anxious to see progression thru final stage. Thanks

[@mimimccallum3848]

Thanks Nick!!! I so look forward to your Sunday sessions!!

[@sherrillpearson7140]

Just a million thanks. Sooooo helpful.

[@richardcrowe2236]

Excellent !!! I throughly enjoyed this - love to see more .

[@monikalenander2902]

I really liked this video! Thank you!

[@karlasolomon8128]

I like the idea of knowing that you will go too far and then have to pull back. Which makes sense, bc how do you know where the edge is until you go too far.

[@awankstain]

Very interesting video and approach thanks!

[@aletagudelski6414]

Thank you! This has been one of your most valuable videos for me. They are all great, but this one hit the mark. Thank you!

[@barbbell2424]

What a great analogy to life. So helpful on so many levels!

[@beatabooth2363]

This is very helpful. I usually go by intuition, this gives me a rational reason why something looks good or not. Thanks!

[@sylviagleiter4357]

So very helpful to see what you identify as problems and then going the next steps with you as you improve the work. For me, once I know the basics of design, value, color, etc., this is the most valuable kind of applied learning experience. Thank you!

[@staceyvanier9525]

Thanks for the inspiration Nick!

[@judeleece6452]

Love the dialogue, so easy to connect with...brilliant

[@ireneynes7478]

Brilliant🤩👍🤩

[@paigewheeler2983]

I also write classical music and this is helping me with my music as well!!

[@donnarobertson9236]

It was great to see how you approach your delivery of thought process through the tool then applying that choice of colour or value.

[@jocelyneaubry490]

I like the way you explain. I just discover your art via Louise Fletcher. Thanks

[@dottieholdren7621]

I love your teaching and thinking! Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge!

[@tantorthebantor]

That was very helpful. Thank you.

[@lizpease2544]

Love your videos! This particular one was so helpful. Your art is so incredible and beautiful, so much to process. I love it!

[@cookiemonster3147]

Im learning a lot here. Thank you.

[@dianerice4144]

You have helped so much cut through the hard questions. Thank you!

[@pammostek3344]

This would be a good bonus video.

[@dawnitalutz1953]

lol, you said the straighter the line the faster you can get to where you want to be. I found that hysterical.

[@AngelDebstar316]

such a serene process thank you for sharing xxx

[@robinbrewer9000]

You are such a gift to all of us ty!

[@jeanvivrette3590]

Thanks; this is very helpful.

[@margaretconnell1696]

Love the colours that you mix Nick Loverly !!!!

[@joannavandeneijnden5437]

Don’t ever stop!!!!!

[@joancollier4488]

Love listening to your thought processes. Great inspiration, thank you...

[@robertwebber8672]

Yeah differences! As a survivor of covid and cvp 2020 kind of knew some of what you were going to do. I have jumped straight into Louise's course and also the academy. So the learning you started in me goes on. So grateful to u and the team! Best R

[@paigewheeler2983]

This has helped me so very much. Thank you! You are a generous soul.

[@prose3562]

This is absolutely great - thank you

[@Freefolkcreate]

So enjoy your sensitivity and passion, thank you for sharing 💖

[@inkhotel]

very generous video, thanks for the demonstration, I love the steps of removing some paint as well as figuring out what value to use

[@dottieholdren7621]

Looking better, love this painting.

[@TooMuch2024]

This is so helpful and you are very generous. I’m returning to abstraction and anticipate a struggle.

[@christinaosterberg5108]

This was so great! And your paintings are just fantastic!

[@janswimwild]

Thank you, I love your videos! I’m not a Facebook fan and have deactivated my usual account but am trying to join your group quietly to restrict posts only to art or environmental stuff!

[@billparker6297]

Cool stuff Nicolas...

[@coraannetoledo-merritt1220]

i have learned a lot watching this video. eliminating what doesn't work and working on what does is having experience to recognise it. not always so evident for me. i suppose it's a question of falling down and getting up. some times i long to have someone to guide me.

[@badmammajamma5929]

You just solved several of the blindspots Im having in my work right now as Im wanting so much to paint atm but not struggle with it as theres enough in life at the moment to cause anxiety atm so thank you very grateful for this

[@joniandblu]

Loved seeing your process, thank you!

[@amyhwhitehouse1042]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts and painting. You gave me some good things to consider in my artwork.

[@lisapeterson7871]

This is so helpful, thank you

[@VickiPanagotacos]

Thank you. Very good.

[@dianalippert6664]

Hi Nick, thank you for your amazing kind of art teaching. I'm from Germany and I think we haven't something compareable. I've learned a lot from you.

[@chuckpotter5207]

Nice tips.

[@arlenedubo7364]

Exactly what I needed today! Thank you for the awesome free workshop. So grateful!

[@dianamoura6024]

I always feel so inspired when watching your videos..... Thank you

[@iammissionaryartistpamelac2975]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge ! Hope to take your class one day !, 🌟🙌🌟

[@mariepadden8399]

Gt insight there. Yes I work pretty much like that. Following my instinct and leaving 1 painting to start another till I can see what adjustments I need to do in the first. Thanks for the inspiration. It can be difficult when working alone!

[@soulsearcher4truth303]

This has been so very helpful!

[@dottieholdren7621]

You really inspire me!

[@yogasaraswati1230]

Thank you for your generous explanations. Appreciation!

[@Lisa-qt7pw]

really insightful! you have a great way of speaking out your thought process. it helps a lot to understand these subtle concepts! Thanks!!

[@Art2Life]

Lisa so glad!!

[@caroldavis172]

Enjoyed! Thankyou

[@petercehily2687]

Inspiring. The first painting really improved although it was good to start. I love the white and beige and the very light gray. They make an interesting background. I plan to try that in my work. These appear to be on wood panel. Thanks for the inspiration. See your process is quite helpful

[@gilliansolomon2157]

Very interesting thanks

[@jocelynearcand3907]

super, merci

[@barbarageis1728]

very helpful!

[@latestarossa]

Thank you!! I agree the PS was a better version. I am an illustrator and for a long time I want to work abstract, but it is so frightening for me, I don’t know. I am so used to work in order to illustrate a story and for this I get to go in myself and for some reason this is so difficult for me But your teaching is so good, thank you

[@edithhardaway3836]

wow. Thanks

[@jenricecoach]

super helpful, thank you!

[@marthakaplan6367]

loved this thanks so much!

[@loislane5001]

Very helpful!

[@alrenefischer4481]

Hi am sooo keen to see you did for your sister , are you going to work on it again , absolutely amazing stunning your sister one

[@magdalenahadala6799]

I love that kind of thing, but I get frustrated I guess when things don't go the way I envisioned it, so first and foremost it's about patience :)

[@judithmironov898]

Love this abstract painting- I’m branching out- what is the blue paper towel and the square utensil you use?
