I painted over a THRIFT SHOP Painting!

[@barbieburnanator1738]

"Its looking good! Until I realized I didn't like it." That's the most real thing for any artist! Lost count of the amount of times I started to like my painting, only to dislike it later on. Absolutely love the final result! They look golden in the frame, I love both versions, but I think I like the one on paper a little more. Would love to get either as a print, if you ever decide to turn one into a print! ❤

[@BlackBeanCMS]

Thank you so much! And same! The paper one is growing on me a little bit! I wish I would’ve added a hand! And absolutely I could definitely make prints! 🥹

[@cindyd.01]

lol I wrote the same quote before I even saw yours :D

[@DavidBerlin07]

Seeing the number of attempts you battled through is really impressive, and inspiring. It would have been so easy (and understandable) to have given up, I would have. But by showing us all everything you went through, well, there's no excuse, and no need to stop trying. Bravo!!

[@MissedSage]

A Blackbean's video a day keeps the boredom away! Love your art so much.

[@BlackBeanCMS]

Thank you so much!! And Yas!!! Go get creative today!

[@Susiachi]

You gave us all a great gift by showing how to persevere and find your way out of the woods. Great job!

[@ParasiticSun]

I'm really thankful you kept in all of that struggle in the video. Sometimes its easy to think other artists can just paint/draw without a second thought and you're the only one having a hard time. So seeing this reminded me how much work it actually takes for everyone to make something they like. ❤❤❤ I think the canvas is my favorite but the one in canvas paper is also very beautiful.

[@veystone2580]

Thank you for been so transparent by letting us see your struggle! That helps a lot!!! If someone as talented as you struggles, I feel less sad when I mess up and more hopeful that I can push through! 😊 Keeping it real! ❤

[@prettyhim]

its extremely motivating to see even the "fails", really shows how many tries one artist must do to get what we want 😭i adore your art so much

[@foxburrows]

I’m so glad you included all your failed attempts and frustration and messiness. It’s more relatable than you know. And the end result turned out beautiful! Perfectionists who ruin their own oil paintings with too much paint unite.. ✊😔

[@artsybry]

I loved getting to see the whole process with all of the attempts! Seeing the true reality of art and creativity and struggle was perfect. And the lighting on the neck on your second paper attempt and final canvas was so so beautiful. So dramatic and stunning.

[@Mayasoflya]

When it clicked, it surely did. The skin tones, the red hue & shiny spot on the nose, inspired. Love your work. Thanks for posting.

[@SquishyChameleon]

Thank you for including the stuff you didn't like. ❤ It helps more than you know! The struggles were worth it to get to the end results!

[@malaikamebane7161]

Awsome painting I respect, understand, and trust the process. The late, great Bob Ross taught us there arent any mistakes just happy little accidents.

[@sonaild7843]

Canvas paper ! 😍 and as an artist I enjoyed seeing your many attempts and not giving up because I always give up and scrap the idea

[@jicolourist]

Wow thanks for showing that it took many attempts to get the painting to where you loved it. I like the canvas one best, and wow that frame after cleaned was spectacular.

[@DreamingCatStudio]

Your talent is amazing. I love seeing the trials and redos. THAT is what being an artist is-learning and incorporating those lessons. I loved them all-reminds me of Rembrandt.

[@tamathamavraides5532]

I think you’re a brilliant artist but also charming and hilarious. I love to paint and do mixed media but I’m no artist. I do it because I love it. You however, are the real deal. I’m so glad to have found your channel. Just awesome. ❤

[@dinwizzle]

I found you through Artists in Wonderland. Not only do I love how you left the process of loving and not loving your work in this video, I really love your use of music edits as you were painting. That’s one of my favorite orchestra pieces and combined with your painting it was just 😍

[@SarinaSketch]

So pretty!! I love that you still went for a more traditional painterly style like the original despite how much you like caricatures! I love getting to see your thought process while you create!!

[@LilTortilla2121]

I relate so hard to the redoing over and over again, its perfectionism that every artist strives for, and it's sucks, cause it's harder to fall in love with your painting, because it's not as high as the potential you have mentally. I relate so much🥲❤️

[@neon-kq6wz]

As a painter the amount of times you restarted is incredibly relateable lol im glad you keep the parts where its not going "well" in your videos, as someone who's not up to your skill level its a little reassuring that artists that are more skilled than i still struggle just as much as i do 😂 even though sometimes it can feel like such a sloggg to get through a painting thats taking a long time 😮‍💨😮‍💨

[@AmmatileChristian]

Omg after the third attempt I would have sat down and cried dude you are absolutely amazing and the final product was so so worth all the work!!

[@ilariacarloni8393]

Black bean is such a cutie and a cryptid at the same time. Love the new videos.

[@ShakTah]

Omg I've been waiting SIR!! I've watched your old videos 50 million times waiting on you 😢

[@illy2066]

I really appreciate you showing us the mistakes and all. Often times when painting , IDK where to go next smh . Keep up the awesome work !!

[@vanstey]

thank you for trying again and again. i have a tendency to give up but you’re so inspiring ❤

[@amandaw9190]

I just really appreciated your transparency about the laborious process. Most painters I see only get to the polished video and probably scrap the less than smooth processes and it makes me feel like no hope bc literally every project I have wasted time (sometimes A LOT) with trying things and scrapping and trying something else. Thank you because it makes me feel hopeful knowing a talented artist like you struggles just like I do sometimes❤ it’s all part of the process

[@RinN3-.]

Beautiful work. Love them all especially the last canvas that you liked. Thank you for sharing your progress we all think that way as artists 😅🤦🏼‍♀️🩷

[@jamieroberts269]

I love to watch you work through a piece.

[@storytellerziep]

[@kyky4735]

both are beautiful but my favourite is the second one. It's the nose for me. But both are so gorgeous.You make me want to learn to paint with oil. thank you

[@janesmith-y5u]

I really loved the way you edited this. In your last video, you said you were thinking of editing differently in the new year. I loved this style. The other way is great too. Because of this I'm going to make a new painting!

[@intersexcryptid]

I love it when other artists make videos and show that they also have projects where it doesn't turn out right the first time. It makes me feel so much better about myself and my art.

[@paulao776]

This was fascinating! I feel inspired to paint now. Thank you!

[@creativewah]

Both are fantastic! 💜💜💜 If I have to choose…it would be the second one!

[@AnmiMation]

I like the second one however the first one is giving.

[@carlycharlesworth1497]

I have to say how much I truly admire you and your never give up attitude. You were feeling defeated so many times but you kept at it and then showed us all how reality looks for an artist. I think all of the three versions of the painting were gorgeous but the one on the paper was my favourite and the one you put in the canvas was my next favourite. I think that the painting looks fantastic in that frame and it gives it an element of true classiness that the painting deserved! God bless you. It's so cool that your posting again.

[@terahmichelle416]

More of these pls❤ thank you for showing your fails. Sometimes us less experienced artists forget that you professionals don't always throw out all beautiful work. Would love to see more thrift stuff❤ take care art friend. 😊

[@katieholsinger645]

Painting is a labor of love. And all of the results show it here. Utterly beautiful.

[@ThemActually]

It’s been a while since I’ve painted. Last time I tried I gave up because it was like I’d completely forgotten how to paint. Glad to know I’m not the only one. Next time I’ll keep trying.

[@aliamichelle_]

All renditions of your paintings are better than most can come up with! You are so extremely talented! 🤗🥰

[@mhc4444]

Oil on paper is one of my favorite ways to paint. Especially when I had very little room for making my art, as canvasses can take up a lot of room, sheets of paper are much easier to store when you don't have much room, once they are dry of cause. It's also great for practicing art on a budget, just get a block of fairly heavy watercolor paper, prep it with gesso, or even just a layer or two of cheap acrylic, and you're good to go. I used to tape several sheets on my door and paint all night when the mood stuck. Good times~

[@mparis130]

Gorgeous!!! the frame is delicious

[@Juliana-Bub]

This video has made my day! I've had a very bad week, and I was having trouble finding my footing again. Thanks for sharing your art with us.

Oh WOW! I love them all, including the ones that you re-did! Truly breathtaking works of art! IT'S ALL AMAZING! ❤Thank you for sharing your process. 🙏🙏🙏

[@melindarivera6598]

Everyone who is not an experienced artist is looking at this whole entire process thinking that's amazing! Why are you wiping it away?! It looks great!

[@afroborilafemme]

Thank you for showing us your process! Every time you painted over the first attempts I was like “oh nooooo!” But those last one BAY BEEEEE! 🔥🔥🔥

[@Bat_Fiend.]

Always an instant click and like anytime you post. "I forgot how to paint" is so real 😅. It's a muscle for sure but there's so many mental hurdles aswell. There can go months for me when nothing looks right. It's so much more than just skill.

[@lindacsmith13]

I love the progression, thanks for sharing that. I can't decide between the two they both looked good. I don't think that was gooby dooby gooey ooey on the frame, maybe overspray?

[@mglouise97]

OOF that jawline on the portrait is envious

[@aroset]

I have an idea for a video I'd love to see you do: Oil pastels, but you can't use the pastel directly. Can only use things like palette knives, blenders, scrapers, etc.

[@shmales7023]

Really love the canvas painting. It's absolutely beautiful and definitely captured the Renaissance vibe. You're such a talent! Thank you for sharing your process. I'm more of a fluid artist myself and I watch a lot of videos where people make it look super easy when the reality is sometimes totally different, so it's nice to see I'm not the only person who struggles through the art process occasionally. Lol. I love your work and your style and am thrilled I found your channel!

[@GreenlifeFin]

Yes, I agree with all you say. And the renaissance vibe is very true, so beautiful, including the delicate hand in the painting.

[@cherylbirchard9482]

Young and innocent screams the portrait on paper...better stop scaring her. Anyone who doesn't see themselves in your attempt should lose their artist licence, we've all been there, just yesterday I also made a fool of myself, such fond memories!

[@palacsintakat]

Subbed for your unique oil pastel style, stayed for your insane artistic vision, skill, and raw talent (and your fun personality). ALTHOUGH title is click bait haha get that algorithm gorl

[@BazerrkInsaneAsylum]

Both are excellent! Great work as always! I miss being a Patron though...😔

[@reeree6682]

Your relentless pursuit of your vision for this project would inspire anyone doing anything to just go for it! Amazing AGAIN, child of God!

[@authorrin7086]

Thank you so much for leaving the footage of your struggles in the video! As an artist who never is fully satisfied with what I make, I related to it a little too much 😂

[@felineaddict]

As I was watching your process, the face right before your 1st wipe out, around the 5:52 mark the face looked good and it was because of the eye. I yelled out after you wiped it. But in the end, you did it! Thank you for showing us your process because we do struggle at times and get in the weeds.

[@NaomiHills]

Wow. This is a wonderful classical painting. I wish I had your talent.

[@dascodraws6040]

was it dirt or was it weathering and distressing to make it look old? I would have thought it was old until you took out the image which was just cardboard.

[@LandAmongtheStars4904]

Thank you for posting this! It’s been like 5 years since I’ve touched oils and I’m finally getting back into it since I was gifted a set for Christmas. The process has been a struggle and quite discouraging at times. Seeing all the ups and downs throughout your process is a great reminder to just keep going. ❤

[@guineatte]

The original of the bad reproduction that was in the frame is a painting by Joshua Reynolds. It can be seen in the Tate Gallery in London.
