Im a self taught artist. Ive been searching for all of this for months but i didnt really know what to search for. KZbin suggested you to me last night and i feel like im in heaven. Cant wait to try these out

[@IndieRu]

Thank you so much for your supportive words ❤ They mean a lot to me during my current burnout 🙂

[@sonsad1]

I commented after watching a few other videos from you. I then saw the beginning of this one and regardless of your not going into architecture: in my opinion your path is not only a blend of 2 artists but you are able to reach many more people than they ever will. Not being ugly :but they have missed seeing what you offer to others. I am a parent, grandmother, and great- grandmother. You are blessed and a blessing

[@IndieRu]

Wow 😍 thank you so much ❤ What a pity that you are not my great-grandmother 😢

[@yaseminduyal]

I also decided to start creating abstract art a month ago. You were among the first ones I watched during this process, and you still are. :) Your tutorial videos and calming discussions played a significant role in my commitment to this craft. Additionally, I really admire your paintings. Despite using a variety of colors, you blend them beautifully. You're a true artist.:) I hope to become as dedicated and talented an artist as you are in the future. Thank you for your videos.❤

[@IndieRu]

I'm glad to hear that my tutorials and discussions have been a source of inspiration for your journey into abstract art. Your kind words mean a lot, and I'm thrilled to be a part of your artistic exploration. Keep creating, and if you ever have questions, feel free to reach out. Happy painting! 💕

Liquidex mediums to blend are wonderful, and don't take that much longer to dry. But of course, one can use less water that way. Just swap it for the water bottle

[@chasman1]

Ru, i am a big fan of yours but have an important question. What brand and type of varnish do you use on your paintings? You never talk much about it. I wish you would do a video on how you varnish..Gloss, satin, matt. Brush on, spray-on? Drying times. I have learned so much from you. Your the best.

[@IndieRu]

Thank you darling ❤ It's because I don't use it anymore 🙂 as I don't have time for it I used to use Liquitex liquid (brush on) matt or satin varnish Before applying the varnish, it takes at least two weeks for the acrylic paint to dry completely

[@Vertyanuch]

Thanks for that little background history on yourself. It really adds to your artwork. Great advice for the beginning painter. Took the words right out of my mouth! “Use only high grade art supplies to lessen the frustration you will WILL encounter along your way. I had my first paint cracking just the other day when I skimmed on my painting trying to get fluid poured type of white. Had to go back over it with my good white! Luckily I was able to recover my painting to quality work. Bet of luck on your journey to happiness and art🙏

I'm glad you covered Bristles falling-out because everybody I watched was all about the oval brush technique and I finally got an oval brush after months and months of watching tutorials and everytime I paint with it or any other one from this set of 3 I have bristles all in the paint and have to pull them out with tweezers. You're right it is very annoying and sometimes I mess the paint up having to do that.

Thanks a lot, many "food" for thoughts. I have two paintings impasto style which look absolutely plastic. I have thought , perhaps, this weird result was due to Catalyst silicon tool I was using first time. And yes, I did use a cheap paint, whatever it means, as in my opinion it is not cheap at all, but definitely not professional grade. On the top of everything, I used varnish, and the weirdness just multiplied. I guess you resolved my mystery. Thank you. P.S. I still love my painting, despite .....

[@isancreativedesigns9259]

I add Propylene Glycol (food grade) to the misting water during the hot season as it hits 35C in the studio even at night. This retards the water drying out. Can be added to the paste I use to create shapes as that is acrylic based and goes off very quickly. I use old toothbrushes to splatter paint as there was a small disaster when I used a brush ..... the ceiling still has the splatters ;-) Which part of Italy are you in? I spent some time down in the south in Puglia, they have Trulli houses built from stone and no cement there, they are very interesting. Nice painting, good to see you back and your hand is better.

Hi Ru, Your a wonderful painter. I've learned some techniques that im anxious to try. Question would i be able to use the mixed media painting sheets that come in a pad? Will the canvases that come in a roll work? You said something about the paint cracking. TY so much 😊

[@IndieRu]

Thank you ❤ I have never used mixed-media painting sheets so can't say anything about that. And regarding rolled canvas it depends on the techniques you are going to apply. The thinner the paint coat the better and it is advisable not to make texture paintings.

Abstract art can be challenging, but it's also a wonderful way to express yourself freely. Just remember, there's no right or wrong in abstract art-it's all about your personal expression, creativity, and acceptance of the result the way it is without self-judgment. Keep experimenting, and most importantly, have fun with it! 💕
