Laughing at yourself while painting - paint like Amedeo Modigliani portrait

[@vjhreeves]

I absolutely LOVE the triptych of the initial portraits at 3:42! I'd have stopped right there! They'd look fantastic framed and hung on a wall.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks vjhreeves, but I couldn't have been able to make the point of trying even if you think you can't. Whatever you do, it's about the learning process. Have a good day, Albert

Thanks Wiley, for your warm words. I just love to experiment and give others the inspiration to do the same. Albert

[@fromthepeanutgallery1084]

I am going to adopt the light hearted approach.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Peanut Gallery, yes, join the club. Lighthearted is so much more fun. Happy painting, Albert

[@sdouba]

This is indeed helpful. In particular I much appreciate your approach in problem solving. Thank you Albert for sharing.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Salim, thanks. Go ahead and paint a portrait. And have fun doing. Bye, Albert

[@mayracastillo8723]

The result was beautiful! And this video inspired me to try portraits, thank you.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Mayra, yes, that is what I was aiming at. Great, have fun trying it. And remember, laugh at yourself! Bye, Albert

[@kikudesign]

And the answer is simple...More hair on the top of the head....I burst into laughter....Thank you for being the reason I smiled today...

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Kikudesign, thanks. Laughing (at yourself) or smiling is important 😁 If you can paint or not isn't always important. Bye, Albert

[@ellenvd5543]

Bedankt voor deze leerzame les Albert! Dat was nog eens interessant.....en duidelijk uitgelegd!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Halloi Ellen, graag gedaan en bedankt, Fijn dat je er wat aan hebt gehad. Groeten, Albert

[@marlo530]

Really enjoyed this! I used watercolor to fill in the portrait but black acrylic for the outline. Love how it turned out! I really enjoy your videos

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Marlow, for sharing your process. It's always your personal interpretation of what I show that brings the joy. Albert

[@liesbethdenhoed282]

Geweldige filmpjes. Ik wil gelijk beginnen.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hoi Liesbeth, bedankt, fijn om te horen. En ik zou zeggen: Doen! Wat schilder je zoal als ik vragen mag? Veel plezier ermee, Albert

[@liesbethdenhoed282]

ik zit nu te oefenen op de Ipad, portret a la Modigliani. Veel geprobeerd, maar kom steeds niet verder. Jouw kijk op kunst en het abstracte hou ik ook erg van.

[@jornstenekes1493]

Ik hoor een Nederlands accent. Ik heb al uw video's gezien. Ze zijn zeer informatief en leuk om te zien. Ik heb veel van u geleerd. Keep painting!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hallo Jorn, bedankt. Goed gehoord en fijn dat je er wat aan hebt. En inderdaad keep painting. Albert

[@marielasilva2922]

Thanks Mariela

[@maryamvossoughi9341]

I like it a lot🤙🏻

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Maryam! Bye, Albert

[@Jennifer-ex5wy]

1st to view and like!!! Really love your portrait. She looks like she closed her eyes while you were painting her. The blue color became her eyeshadow as if she's wearing make-up. Yeah,that's right. I see a principal of a university. Oooh,i'll call your artwork, "madam principal". Btw,congrats for increasing numbers of subscribers! I still remember that i am #543. Keep up the good work about unfamous abstract painters!!! I cant believe they are so many of them!! Thank you for introducing them to us!! 😊

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Jennifer, thanks. This was fun to do. Yes the numbers go up. Nice! Haha, madam principal. It looks like she has a little smile, enjoying herself. And yes there are plenty of abstract artist to make videos about. See you next week. Bye, Albert

[@Jennifer-ex5wy]

@@ImperfectPaintings i cant wait for another lesson!! 🙌

[@ant11368]

Forget about the hair!! That nose!!! 😂😂😂 but in The end, marvellous.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, Antoine. It's mostly about just beginning and see where you will end up. Albert

[@보가위바위-v4i]

I love your style of teaching. It is extremely encouraging! I am just wondering what paper you are using.

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi 보가위바위, thanks. The paper is a multi purpose paper, to be used with pencil, oil pastel or acrylics. I advise to go to your local art supplies store, explain what you want and buy a few different sheets to try out. Hope this helps, Albert

[@karenlavigne1108]

What a fun demonstration, just painting loosely. ☕️☕️

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Indeed, Karen, go lighthearted and things will look like fun. Albert

[@thevikingsdaughter4225]

Really loved that so calming in these crazy times. Do you think in the original picture he put crackle glaze on?

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Vikings daughter, thanks. I hope you stay safe. Glad I can help. Perhaps he used crackle glaze, but It can also be of aging, although the paintings aren't that old. Albert

[@OxisTech]

I was laughing as he was sketching them out, at one point i saw a potato, but it ended up looking brilliant

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Billy, thanks. Enjoy making a portrait yourself. Albert

[@wileycom]

Isn’t it amazing how that can happen! The lesson here is to persevere, to follow through in love and trust of the process! Bravo!

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks Wiley, spot on, process is king and queen. Albert

[@magso6876]

... el retrato de Francis Bacon es como el arte de Mel McCuddin...

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, magso, for your suggestions. I'll think about it. Albert

[@boulbon08]

I LOVE your calm and playful way of teaching! So inspiring! Thanks for your beautiful videos ❤

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Thanks, authentic. Happy painting, Albert

[@stuartcarduner5855]

Really enjoy and appreciate your videos - - your approach, your spirit…(but I find the music really annoying and distracting - - we are trying to watch you and there’s is this loud distraction - - it adds nothing - - always breathe a sigh of relief when you turn it down to talk)

[@ImperfectPaintings]

Hi Stuart, thanks. Sorry to hear you don't like the music. For me, music has a function, it distracts my thinking, brings me in a softer, less rational mindset. I need it. Sorry, can't help you on that one. In my newer videos I do more talking, see it as a compromise 😉 Anyway, thanks for letting me know, you probably aren't the only one. Happy painting and stay safe, Albert

[@stuartcarduner5855]

Albert - I completely understand your comment about painting with music - - I am exactly the same way when I paint andfor the same reasons you wrote. My comment wasn’t about painting with music, it was about viewing your videos with music when I don’t want to be distracted! anyway just my opinion and I still really enjoy your videos and just turn the sound down :-)
