Good to hear, RaeRae. It's a fail-safe exercise. Enjoy creating, Albert

[@chrisames9792]

So freeing! I'm currently having trouble moving forward in a couple of paintings, so I will do this to free up my mind, and stimulate creativity! Thanks Albert.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Sorry to hear you have trouble moving forward, Chris, this exercise is definitely fun to do. Albert

[@dianecharest8365]

Wow! You are an amazing artist. Thank you for teaching all of your great ideas. I learn so much from you.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

My pleasure, Diane. Anyone can do this. Just take the time to actually do it. It's a fun exercise. Albert

I hope you are still making videos because I enjoy them very much. I have found nothing like this on KZbin.

[@nationofnoone846]

After I get all of my current set and music projects out of the way, I’m gonna give this a try, collage has always been one of my favorite expressions of creation and this method of combing it with an abstract expressionist style I find quite fascinating 👍

[@ImperfectPaintings]

He Nation, have fun when you give it a go. Thanks for letting me know. Albert

[@zennovice]

very cool....thnx again, you helped me enormously and get away from my old perfectionism

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Christine, I glad I could help you. Perfectionism can be such a road block for just having fun while painting. What do you paint, if I may ask? Albert

[@zennovice]

@@ImperfectPaintingsAnything and everything....portraits,landscapes,abstracts,flowers, skies, seascapes.....this whole beautiful world....!!

Hi Judith, thanks. This one really can't miss. See for yourself! Have a happy day, Albert

[@civantina]

I'm doing this!!! I have my painting dried, ready for cutting out the pieces.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Oh, I really have to make a platform so you can show what you make. I would love to see it. Please tell me how it worked out. Bye, Albert

[@dawnmillett4875]

Thank you!! I am motivated to create when I watch your videos!! They are gifts to me😊

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Dawn, thanks. All is shared with love to you. Have a great day and enjoy creating yourself. Stay safe. Bye, Albert

[@amyhassan312]

This is a great example of how to create abstract art! Tomorrow I will be participating in a Zoom abstract art activity. I'm trying to get ideas. I'm used to creating mandala art, so this is something new that I would like to try.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Amy, thanks. It's a very nice 'surprise' exercise and it can't go wrong. Enjoy making your version. Albert

Amazing! Your videos are so inspiring Albert. After watching, I just can’t wait to go and try it out myself. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I would love to take a painting course with you!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Pavlina, I would love to have you all in my local painting course, it really would be fun. I guess these vids are the next best thing. At least we can chat like this now. Enjoy making what you love, Albert

[@ArtIsNotAlwaysEasy]

I don’t often comment but as I started this video I was skeptical by then end I am inspired. Thank you.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi James, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. I love it. Do you paint or are you otherwise creative? I would love to hear. Albert

[@ArtIsNotAlwaysEasy]

@@ImperfectPaintings I have always expressed myself in painting and music, but recently I have been focused on painting. I have way too many ideas sketched out and so little time to make them a reality. So tonight after work, I am setting myself a few hours after family time to do a few projects! You are part of that desire to pick up the brush again! I will forward you a picture of what I create.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi James, good to hear. Painting is just as any other hobby, it consumes time. I hope you will be happy with what you create. Albert

[@aryaie233]

Thanka! It is very amasing 😊

Hi Azadeh, do try this one yourself, you will be surprised how easy it is. Have a nice day, Albert

Hi 민재씨카, thanks. Enjoy making yours Albert

[@mojdehvijeh2440]

How would this work with oil paint?

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Mojdeh, thanks for asking. I guess it will work the same for oil paint. You only will have to wait longer before the paint will be dry and you can cut the paper. When you try it, let me know. Bye Albert

Hi Jamie, good to hear. Enjoy, Albert

[@lydiahsiumei]

I just found ur videos for several days. I watched some and love ur teaching very very much. I never learned painting before, but I get interest after watching ur videos. I want to learn following ur videos. But I don’t know how to start, like preparing the basic tools. What size brushes and colors should I buy? Do u mix acrylics colors with water? Ha! Ha! I never use acrylics color. How to deal If it dry too fast before finishing or oil color is better? Which ur videos are more suitable for new beginners? Thank you very much.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Lyidia, thanks. Nice to hear you want to start painting. You don't need very much to begin. Bye some acrylics: red, blue and yellow and white to mix. Also a 5, 10 and a 40 mm brush and some paper to paint on. Don't mix with water, your paper will become a mess. And just start. Forget what you have in mind to paint and mostly look at what is happening on your paper, learn to understand what is happening (colors mix, painting too thick or too thin and so on). The video you reacted to is great. Also my most recent one kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2HIh4irebaUj5o. This one is about looking around in your neighborhood for shapes. Hope this helps. Just start and continue, it's now up to you. Happy painting, Albert

[@lydiahsiumei]

Dear Albert, Deeply appreciate for your reply. Would u tell me the paper specifications what u use? Ha! Ha! Today l went to the store, then I found many types of paper.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Lydia, (I see all comment and read every reply so I deleted your other message where you wonder if I read it.) Good question but difficult to answer. I live in the Netherlands and use drawing paper, 200 grams 65x50 cm. Is is a paper with a smooth surface but no sealing on it that can be used for color pencil, oil pastels, acrylics and other material. But I don't know how it is called in other countries so you have to ask in your local shop with these specs what they gave. Buy a sheet of the types they suggest and see what works best for you. I don't paint on a canvas because my house would fill up pretty quickly 😁. Don't hesitate to ask questions, it's part of every learning process. Oh and do checkout this video before to watch the my last one, this one has the exercise explained kzbin.info/www/bejne/iamrYpqDfdNpe6s Albert

[@lydiahsiumei]

Dear Albert, I’m very moved. Many thanks. hartelijk dank😀

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Lydia, my pleasure. Happy painting, Albert

[@conniedecarolis3173]

Do you have favorite colors that you just have to use a lot? I am so into turquoise, black and gold.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Interesting question. My favorite color is orange. But when painting I'm into Prussian Blue for Mark making or in combination with white, wet on wet. So mysterious. Albert

[@djoanlilley1307]

I watched a youtube video in which Albert van der Zwart drew shapes on the back of a sheet of paper and then cut them out to make an abstract painting. I can't remember what was on the other side of the paper and I can't seem to find the right video. Can anyone help please?

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks D Joan for asking. Perhaps you're looking for this one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hYmlgIueaZ6rmbc Let me know if I got it right. Albert
