Julie Schumer - Abstract Expressionist Painter

[@jeffarsua]

I have been looking for this video for 2 years now. Glad i found it again.

[@lisengel2498]

I agree very much with the passion for the painting process - and I painter my first oil painting with 12 and I have been hooked ever since

[@IsaTeles18]

Wonderful paintings you have.I love your work.Thank you

[@thirdeyelr]

i love this video, and your approach to art.

[@kartikadamon]

Wonderful work!

[@erice9506]

This video has been very pleasing ( to me ) to learn from Julie's conversation on abstract painting and her creative process. Although I am not a painter by trade, I do carry out influences in abstract expressionism into my artwork. I have to agree that New Mexico is great place to be inspired by nature at work. Thanks for the share!

[@julieschumer7182]

Thank you, am glad you enjoyed it.

[@evaristorodriguez1645]

Julie observando su vídeo en el salón de clase, hemos dado con la idea de KOUROS (?). Todos hemos quedado muy sorprendidos y hasta emocionados como de una lluvia de colores en pequeños trozos el arte termina por encontrar el camino a casa. Evaristo de Argentina. Muchas gracias.

[@willdixon9525]

Love your work. Thanks for sharing.

[@paulinawaas9204]

Lovely!

[@lisengel2498]

I love to watch the process of painting and to experience different kinds of art -

[@nembahadurtamang5311]

I like the paintings and the process.

[@julieschumer7182]

Thanks for your kind words!

[@phillipmadigan1680]

I'm also an artist, I've been working with art in many different forms most of my life, I'm in my early 60's now. Really love your figure paintings.

[@julieschumer7182]

Thank you!

[@carolmeasom]

This was so helpful. I have been trying to get into abstract painting and I'm fascinated by her work.

[@julieschumer7182]

Thank you, I invite you to check out my newer work at www.julieschumer.com

[@julieschumer9003]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I love that you used the word "scoop." It's exactly what I want to do.

[@pattylynn4080]

Your Figure Paintings are mesmerizing !! ❤I absolutely love them!!!

[@PaulWalesArt]

What an incredible story!

[@lisengel2498]

Abstract is a way of creating the energy of everything that make an impression on you - landscape, Music, scenic experience from novels, everyday life, dream, etc

[@julieschumer7182]

I agree 100 %

[@SalkisRe]

this was an inspiration to watch, i love watching your process, Im always scared through my process, i think I want to explore free form painting too thanks Julie :)

[@dean-lewis7]

love love love the fact that we can come together explore what its like creating abstract expression art. musicians adding and stacking different tracks for different textures and rhythms, chefs with flavors, textures, any way of combining elements to make them different but compliment a creation as it heads in the direction its combining to reveal

[@patriciabrickell4005]

Great thoughts Dean Lewis

[@enriqueguillen1597]

its an honor to be able to tell you great job

[@julieschumer7182]

Thank you!

[@julieschumer7182]

Thank you Patty! I am glad you respond to them.

[@josephtermeer4595]

Thanks! I'm going to try this process, I start a painting with the intention of a fine portrait and it turns into abstract, I just can't help myself! I need the freedom.

[@freddybetancourt5734]

[@julieschumer7182]

Thanks Millie, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@lisengel2498]

Interesting to get so close into a painting process

[@julieschumer7182]

It was fun to share it!

[@julieschumer7182]

I have not had any issues with it. Am using heavy weight paper. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

[@dianaconnolly1251]

Hi Julie: Enjoyed your video very much. Do you work wet into wet or do you wait for the compound to dry? Thanks so much. Next time I'm in Santa Fe will look you up

[@julieschumer7182]

I let the compound dry. Then I can wet parts of it with spray bottle if needed. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@julieschumer7182]

Thank you Heather! I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@clarkmillis1929]

What's the 'texturing' material? Drywall mud? That's what I use.

[@julieschumer9003]

Louie, thanks for watching the movie, we had a lot of fun making it.

[@sk25974]

wow! so inspired!! A female abstract expressionist with real bold distinctive heroic work. Female painters are never in the limelight which is really sad- we are obsessed with the male perspective..

[@julieschumer7182]

Thank you!

[@SeeJR]

Very confident and proud.

[@joehatfield1198]

I can see the progression..... but is it regression? How do you tell the difference?

[@tnalurve]

fabulous! clean and clear and, yes, very sensual! thank you :)

[@Daniellebgraham]

what kind of textural material do you use? I love your work and would love to try this technique.Any texture that I have tried is hard when dry and the water doesn't permeate it or affect it.

[@julieschumer7182]

It's a very light coating of sheet rock mud or joint compound. It doesn't cover the entire surface. Try that and let me know what happens!

[@alexloweh1]

Very clever artist ❤️👍

[@julieschumer7182]

Carol, I am glad you enjoyed the video. Perhaps you would like to try a workshop, check it out at www.julieschumer.com/learn.

[@3sheetsy]

I do!

[@julieschumer7182]

Thanks for your comments Eric!

[@kestrelandrus6474]

Beautiful!!

[@jbaby007]

+Julie Schumer - I love your work! You've inspired me with some new ideas.

[@julieschumer7182]

Thanks Salkis! Don't be scared, just do it! and don't worry about it.

[@aliblack9144]

excellent!

[@julieschumer7182]

Thanks, Amanda. We enjoyed making the movie.

[@anikindarji875]

Wow! Just WOW!

[@julieschumer9003]

Thank you for your comment. It's greatly appreciated and I am glad you recognize what I am trying to do.

[@julieschumer7182]

Thanks Colin.

[@joseangelsolisluna7960]

excelente pintura

[@julieschumer7182]

Isaura, thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.

[@julieschumer7182]

I agree Dean!

[@gattbe5611]

ITS NICE TO SEE YOU CAN STILL PAINT LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD.. HANG ON TO THAT CREATIVITY...

[@rania-xo8tv]

Tienes un nombre y apellido aleman. Porque hablas en ingles?

[@lillarthur]

"random" is not a word I would use to discribe anything in art, but what do I know

[@MarkRohlf]

I believe this to be expressionist for sure ... but I am not sure I would use the term "abstract expressionist" ... That movement is over ... the new york school painters are all (or mostly) gone from this life now. There may be still some painters out there that want to tear down the figure ... but no longer for the same reasons. Julie is actually building up the figure here in these abstractions. I like the imagery ... and I like the processes. They are different from mine ... but I enjoy watching how other artists work.

[@bluearbor6775]

The movement is far from over. Maybe we are in the 4th generation but later, in retrospect, when today is history..it will be seen from a fuller, wider perspective.

[@M0D60]

INTERESTING, PAINT IS SENSUAL.

[@yadartogal6193]

Carl G. Mueller, Apt. 325 525 14th Street San Diego, CA 92101 Below is a shortened reconstructed version of suggestions sent to me. Subject: Therapeutic Envelope Art and Letter Art, is easy and inexpensive to make, mail and historically maybe investment wise when collector stamps are attached. I control despair by mailing hand crafted one of a kind artistic envelopes. My despair lightens knowing that maybe I’ll be remembered in history for helping others because of my shared words and or art. This “Envelope Art” also helps me fight depression because I’m sharing art with others who also enjoy exchanging art in envelopes. Doing the art on envelopes makes it very low-cost because the envelopes act as I built in easel when cardboard or another stiffener type of material is inserted into the envelope before I paint. After the painting of the envelope is done the cardboard stiffeners can be replaced with a letter. This enclosed letter too may contain art. I sometimes attach collector stamp(s) to the enclosed letters/art, thus not only self promoting but promoting words or Websites of others. Attach collector stamp(s) guarantees this art or even not so artful material to be a true historical investment as a collectors idem. The value most likely takes place long after our death but the fight to control despair starts instantly. Sincerely, Carl G. Mueller, Vietnam 1968 PS A package of your art can be hidden to be found later, set adrift and or Webbed.

[@julieschumer7182]

Sounds like you have found a good way to help yourself.

[@andresalonsobarral7736]

I want to quit my job

[@makesen]

Using joint compound as a "texturing material" on a flexible support like paper or canvas just about guarantees that it will crack and flake. Joint compound remains water soluble and rigid. It is not an archival material, and completely unsuitable for fine arts applications.

[@JohnWitham]

Thank you. I will relay your concerns to the artist.

[@domingoluisbenedetcastan5852]

sisi :-)

[@Umber54]

Just as good as a second grade student with a pot of paint, a brush and some paper could do. No wonder people love this crap... it's crap that they, too, can do.

[@badparrotproductions4054]

Dont like the figures. Done well but kind of like craft shop paintings ; hence predictable. Probably sell to housewives. The abstracts are better than most you will find. Most abstract painters are fakes but this is the real deal .You can see the quality. The artist paints abstracts like a male which is a surprise . This is a real artist no doubt about that and there are not many real artists around .

[@badparrotproductions4054]

No Art critic .

[@55sarajevo]

I NO SEE ART , I AM SORRY , FOR ME NOTHING SPECIAL ...

[@paulwoodford1984]

genuinely nothing complex about this style of mess

[@tamsinthai]

THAT is not Abstract Expressionism. It's shit.
