🎬 Filmora: Comment below what you think about Filmora using #createwithFilmora to win 1-year free license! ALSO: I know the banana isn’t abstract art, I was using it as an example of art that people lump together as “terrible abstract art” when they actually know very little about it. But I think this got confused when I edited it together and now it makes no sense - apologies !!

I started in November. I'm a working bassist who lost all my gigs because of Covid. So one night, in a pissed off state, I started to paint...had always wanted to try it. Always had a very heathy respect and appreciation for painting and artists. Wound up really enjoying it immensely and it's become a healthy way to blow off steam. When I showed my first one to some of my friends, I immediately got a decent offer. I've sold a bunch since-even some of my painter friends said I have something really great and have been very supportive.

You know you can’t actually explain why you see art in something. Everyone finds different things in one thing.

@@G.Bfit.93 Not really true. Almost all abstract art, whether or not it's visualy appealing, can be done by just about anyone. But it requires genuine technical ability to produce something like a Mondrian or Kandinsky. Also, good abstract art, meaning art which is isn't just a random mess and has a sense of formal and colour composition, requires genuine thought, control, creativity, and decision making even where the same artist isn't technically capable of representational art.

It has kept me from sewing and knitting much more than I do, because why go to all that expense and time when most of what I want to make can be bought for cheaper? Just to be able to say I made it? Not enough incentive for me.

[@johnprice866]

Actually, talentless people have done this countless times to show that anybody can make and sell abstract art. Telling people, "yeah but you didn't," when they say they could do it, is kind of shallow. They're not an ass for saying that because it takes almost no skill, and it's been proven time and time again that it can be done. Driven To Abstraction is a documentary showing how a Chinese immigrant forged $60,000,000 Pollock and Rothko paintings for years and fooled the entire "art" world.

It is INCREDIBLY hard to revert back to painting or drawing “like a child” after you have been trained to paint “properly” (as most people would say).

Art Therapy - Art for/from Stroke survivors, is an incredible way for stroke survivors to improve their mobility and precision control and also decrease depression. Many stroke survivors are sadly left with some form of disability either physically/mentally/emotionally. Art is a brilliant way for survivors to express themselves when words either don't come or cannot possibly fit what they are feeling. There are too many charities dedicated to this to list but it really is a worthwhile cause to investigate. Thanks Ellbat.

I have an aunt who had a stroke and had the right side of her body paralyzed. It was really hard for her since she was right handed. She used to draw before and was really good at it and I think she thought she would never do anything creative again but she tried and I find that her paintings are now even more beautiful than before, they are more colorful and emotional which to me says that she is happy again (which she wasn't even before the stroke).

As an artist I enjoyed this video so much! very interesting and entertaining! Thankyou! 💖 I might have to explore more into abstract now after watching!

[@DeadJack57]

See, the struggle, that is what makes you an artist. I would call that genuine art. The fact that it feels like a child is what most artists feel about their work.

[@wild_larkspur]

I would call your piece "the unappreciated paint" because it reminds me of the backdrop of a lot of artists' workstations from spills, mishaps, cleaning brushes, sampling colors, etc. Basically, all the paint that doesn't make it onto the canvas that nobody but the artists get to see. Too deep? Maybe... but that's the beauty of abstract works right? 😅

[@Ellbat]

This is so artistic i love it

[@ATrace-pn6wx]

@Kaylee Underwood spoken like a true artist. 💛 you get it.

[@kathybreneman7892]

@@ATrace-pn6wx Absolutely, Artists think about art more than the rest of the world. If you are making art, you get to spend time with it and consider all the beauty in the world. Things that others may not consider beautiful or even interesting.

[@meadowsasmr600]

Your technique didn't suck, was actually a good technique for abstract. If you try it again (since you have all that paint now lol) just look up a quick color theory breakdown on KZbin. Certain colors make mud when blended. Honestly if you did that same technique with less browns and just don't put complimentary colors next to each other in the butter knife part, I think you'd end up with a vibrant & "popping" piece.

[@kathybreneman7892]

I was thinking about the same thing. Try using a palette knife instead of a kitchen knife and scissors, less paint, less mud, and maybe surprising results.

[@razor6552]

Less is more. It looked best right after she scraped off the paint

"it made me realize how much time and work and money goes into making art." I joke about this a lot. I make beaded jewelry, and family/friends sometimes ask me to make them some, or say I should open an Etsy shop. I reply that opening a shop to me is not really worth it; I could buy $90.00 worth of beading supplies and tools, to sell a bracelet for .99 cents.

Am I the only one that like LOVED every 'mistake' she made? Like they were such cool ideas^__^

[@Itsme-qo2le]

My art teacher said something very wise once. He said :"if you want to get to know a person's mind, one of the quickest ways to do that is by taking them to a gallery for abstract art. If they ridicule the art or the artist, or even get mad, because they can't understand it, you'll see one character trait that would otherwise be hidden much longer."

[@michelleconnor7669]

Love this! Excellent test!

[@IsomerMashups]

Good point. When I get a boyfriend, I'm taking him to an abstract art exhibit. I could never be with someone who pretends abstract art is worth a damn. Same with wine tasting. If he pretends there's a difference, _thank you, next!_

[@josephdahdouh2725]

@@IsomerMashups Omg i think the initial commentor thought otherwise. Like, he thought that people should be interested in such. Looking at it myself, I would and wouldn't be interested depending on my mood

[@tommatt2901]

@@IsomerMashups question: how would u know he’s pretending? All I hear people say about abstract is that once they saw it. They were amazed. But they couldn’t discribe it in words why they loved it. Maybe if it was really obvious

[@marianacordero1480]

Abstract art is so amazing and so different in many ways, and also people dont even realize the intellectual work that those artists put into their pieces. Im now studying non-figurative and abstract art and its so amazing, some of it are just feelings and some of it is more rationalized, its amazing truly

[@artfullivingwitharlene]

I love abstract it has become my favorite. And love you personality, you made me laugh! That’s how I feel sometimes about art, even though I’ve taking art courses in college thru the years! You def made me feel better.

I remember my little brother saying loudly "This is rubbish, I could do that!" at the Tate Modern.

It doesn't matter if you're an artist or not because you're hilarious! Keep up the videos; humour will get you far in life.

I actually think you did great! Like you said, its the process, the act of spreading paint is so wonderful. I hate everything I do, but I do love the feeling while doing it :)

[@lisandepuredream9056]

as an artist who went torugh a very conservative art school I can confirm this is an accurate representation of how painting class went like

You mean there is a Vlogger who keeps the chatter to the point? Conclusively indicating that you structure your script and get to the point in your productions... Kudos to you mate!

I really enjoyed this video. It brightened my day. I am an artist, and the struggle is real. Thank you for letting people know how much it cost to make these

U r so kind. I loved the original painting u did, background, and the "trees?" you did...so cool. Now, do it again with those 2 layers and you'll have a winner! thx

[@ddg9774]

although 3 years ago, you are artistic in telling this story. I am crying and this is nice

[@jeffreyolson2139]

I have been making abstract art for almost 20 years & this is a hundred times better than anything I could ever dream of doing. Even though you often felt like you didn't know how to proceed, you followed your instincts & that worked very well for you. I also admire your resolve to put it out there & sell it. No one has ever seen my work & I have never attempted to sell anything, kudos to you for trying!

[@kristynareznickova3625]

I think that the art you did is actually pretty cool... 😅You are so genuine, love you! ♥️

[@summerthomas9630]

I normally make abstract art myself and honestly yours isnt that bad! Its very cool and it expresses emotions!

[@KathyBrooksArt]

This was refreshing and fun. Your honesty (total), humor and wit are not only delightful, but endearing. I do abstract art, tonalism and representational art too. Don't need to win anything, your video was my reward.

[@kylieroe1159]

I was so worried going in to this video. The idea of abstract art being easy is not wonderful for the art community... But you not only were honest and educational, but also positive and giving towards the art community. It is expensive to be an artist, and even more so to be an art student with no clue whether they will make it out there. Thank you for this. You got a new subscriber.

Just started making abstract art and I’m loving it. I just like trying different mediums and vehicles of expression via art. It’s like having a tool box.

I relate so hard to your distaste of not being good at things. It's been a big stumbling block for me when it comes to a lot of things

[@breblizz4321]

This was always an issue for me but then I had a realization, completion is better than perfection, making 10 “crappy” things will help you learn and get closer to “perfection” than not making anything cause you are so determined to make it perfect. Hope that helps.
