You may have sold only one painting at your gallery show, but it holds a place of honor on my wall 😊

[@Kiptoe]

hell yeah dude! Grateful for your support 😁

[@TheQuantumstew]

Thats so excellent that you saw this and commented..what a nice gift for kip...like him being vulnerable and sharing that experience gave you the chance to bless him..I love the synchronicity of this

[@CoryPaints]

You are awesome.

[@MoontariArt]

Legend! I'm sure it presents itself great!

[@coreyano]

Perfect

[@MrHotsharkAble]

The final reveal was awesome with the supported sound design walkthrough - the different angles really giving the piece justice! - Also that was an absoulte sealll of a bargin for all of them magazines, gawd dayum!

[@carolinasart9051]

Once again, you have impressed me not only with your artistic painting talent which always blows my mind but the way you make your videos. You are IT my friend!

[@DistractedDaisy]

I love Natinoal Geographic magazines and I have a few, I also liked the Smithsonian magazines. They have some beautiful pictures and you have taken Collage art to a new level.. Good Work! I love it, I am subscribed, thumbs up and commented.. will watch more..thank you.

[@cchemmes-seeseeart3948]

I'm creating a 2' x 4' painting, of a figure, just like this video, (with my own different theme), & was feeling stuck & overload yesterday, how I want to go about building on my base composition. (part of the painting imagery is decided, but still a lot to figure out). I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do to work this out, not wanting to take massive time for a lot of versions; struggling whether to use paper/ pen/ paint/ markers, or digital. I was not thinking of this simple skill from art college (after a lot of life demands/ harms, etc, disruption). I prayed for help, & my search led to this video, reminding me exactly what to do to get moving... using my own sources, ideas, etc. Note to self: Remember this video.

[@KittyKlawz]

Love it Kip-toe, you have always been a visionary storyteller . I notice that from the jump. Even your video work from the beginning I saw that and really loved how genuine you are. You can bring your audience into whatever your creating while you explore your process. I love that about you, cuz as an artist we get what your saying. Love that you had a sponsor on mental issues cuz lord knows we all have them in our lifetime. So glad to see you challenging your canvas skills. Really glad I watched your video. Just a little secret, after watching you I always wanting to go paint. Thanks for being a great artist, teacher, storyteller, videographer, scriptwriter , video editor and all that I am forgetting. So many people really don’t understand it’s not just the art you had to learn. Bro this is a great video. My favorite parts the broken antler and the mysterious cowboys venture. It’s been a while but know your on my list of artist who touched my inner core. Your beautiful and keep on riding! Or is it writing😂 love from Texas

[@lunabear3060]

Phenomenal painting, epic story telling, excellent videography. 10/10 on all counts. Great work man!

[@kennethcarozza6147]

I completely enjoy watching your videos, and your work unfold. Plus you sitting on the space heater in this one just cracked me up!

I really like this more "refined" style. Great progress in my opinion.

[@rafaelparedes7713]

Man the depths of all your art is always mind blowing and your way with colors! I’m sure you don’t need anyone to tell you how great of an artist you are ! The story you gave the pieces adds to the depth of it even More. Kip toe man your awesome !

[@randominternetuser00]

What a great video!! I needed to see this. Confidence is my only barrier, but seeing you go through almost exactly the same process has given me a push. I'm going into my studio to start by finishing one painting of many that I've left half done. Thank you 😊

[@julieisthatart]

I enjoyed this video very much, thank you.

[@irenegold3969]

Great work! Bravo!❤

[@stefaniedc1128]

damn...the result is so great. Though, i wish you had kept in the bundled baby that your cowboy inspiration was holding in the original picture. that would have given the piece so much more meaning than just a collection of powerful symbols. It would have been a man on a journey, carrying a newborn, his destination unknown but something terrible must have happened back where he came from if his only option is to take this newborn with him.

[@imfoxheim]

Yasss more please :D Super cool painting, you never cease to amaze!

[@Kiptoe]

appreciate it! :)

Wooow😵😵😵Thesis amazing,,,,Goooood

[@shoopy70]

This is killer!!! If I had the opportunity I would buy your work in a heartbeat if you'd shown here in Australia. I've tried getting back into my art but doubt myself all the time. I'll check out your site x

[@Kiptoe]

Would love to make it down under someday soon!!

[@timhammell394]

New to your videos, brilliant art in all the meanings of the word. Are you working acrylic or oils on these? Cheers!

"If you're painting something like antlers, start at the tip and work inwards" Shit.... ....I figures that out for painting trees, why the F*** didn't I realise I could use it for antlers?

Great work and one of the coolest canvas reveals I have seen on KZbin!

Thanks Doke! Cheers!

As a fellow artist and muralist, the way you control a spray can AND a brush is phenomenal. Your pieces are fantastic.

[@Kiptoe]

Thanks! appreciate it!

[@pedrobraganca3115]

agreed

[@SK1T20]

Not sure what I was seeing and listening. But the part where u said u weren’t ready for painting and having your own show. I call bullshit. Those pieces of work were all incredible. Wish I could own one. Lol. Keep doing you bro. The artwork is sick. I’ve followed you for years. Found u going through a divorce and binge watched every video. Incredible. Continued success

[@TanukiSC]

Absolutely sick. You are so immensely talented and no one is better at telling a story. I love watching your works come together, but I may enjoy how you narrate the story and edit the videos just as much! Keep it going, brother! ❤❤❤

[@Kiptoe]

that means a lot, glad to hear it!!

[@TXTrojan]

that reveal at the end with the narration was incredible. pulled everything together so well.

[@foxtailmedia8189]

Your editing skills have grew just as much as the rest of your artistic talent. I enjoy comin to the channel for the joy of watching your stories. The amazing art is a bonus, but the storytelling is top notch

[@Kiptoe]

Thank you so much 😀

As soon as you said, thrift store and National Geographic in one sentence, I clicked the LIKE button...I just knew you were going to turn out another masterpiece. :-)

[@Kiptoe]

Thanks Robina! :)

[@S1VE]

I thought to myself that the feathers were extra refined this time around and then your take at 12:30 reassured I’m sure you know it too! Always amazing to see the developments

[@jeromeclaessen3921]

Kudos to the camera work and the production. Stellar quality!

[@ericbeich]

I only lasted 1 1/2 semesters, but back in 1985 when I went to the Art Institute in Dallas they had a room filled with media like art books, a few comics, and a gazillion magazines that we were encouraged to use for whatever. Those Nat Geo were awesome for inspiration for sure. Very cool to see Kiptoe go a little 'old school' haha :) If you read this, your color pallets, and entire videos, are always interesting & inspiring, thanks .

[@Kiptoe]

haha thats so cool Eric! I thought the Nat Geos were such a cool source of inspo. Thanks for watching!

[@NZWozza]

Love that you are so honest about your inspirations and processes. Love the painting, great storytelling and love the colours.

[@Kiptoe]

thanks so much Sam!

[@artistic_spaz3724]

I wish you knew how truly talented you are and how inspiring your art is. You don't give yourself enough credit!

[@justinbanks2380]

The fact that your ad reads are so well done and tell a great story (loved the little figures in it, and smiled when you took an ear bud out to share with the figure) is amazing. Just icing on the rest of the video and project/piece. Which is amazing. Your style and inspirational tone is always a kick in the pants to get out and try some new stuff. Keep being you!

[@Kiptoe]

Im glad you think so! Thanks so much :) Will do!

[@christianfenis1415]

Thank you for sharing part of your art journey with us Kiptoe! I hope you feel a true sense of pride in your growth as a person, story teller and artist because you have definitely earned it Keep up the good work brother and thanks for being an inspiration!

[@Kiptoe]

thanks for that! Its a journey! Glad to hear it :)

[@andyArt5]

I love watching the process of people finding references. It’s a skill set that I’m really lacking in and I know it would elevate my art. I’m just really bad at the process. Nat Geos are a great idea to keep off the devices.

[@Kiptoe]

give it a try!

[@robertsnearly3823]

I do not usually enjoy watching any videos longer than 15, maybe 20 minutes. But, I would sit still and watch yours for an hour or more. I have subscribed as I have learned the most about art/painting just watching a few of yours. I began watching your wall paintings and by listening to your descriptions of what, why, or how you accomplish these things. I've only recently begun painting on canvas the last 3 or 4 years, watching KZbin vids and other things as I've learned and felt my way around. This video right here has cemented my thoughts about the process on my own and I do not enjoy doing what everybody else does just because "they" do it. I don't just listen to what you say but, meld it with my own experience, feeling that someone "gets" what I do or say. Although I'm still just beginning, I'm no where near your talent or experience. But I'm still growing. I'll get there. Watching you work, I'm comfortable going along for the ride. And knowing I'm not alone. We both do things at our own level. So, thanks. I'm glad I've found this channel. Just never stop creating. Ps. I'm a 67 year old student. Still learning, now creating. 😊

[@TheQuantumstew]

Another excellent vid. Thanks for being vulnerable man. It would be super easy to allow ego to run the ship and just make it all seem so easy. But I respect you so much more for being real. It's important to know who you are before and after art shows. Your identity never hinges on the paintings you sell. Much more are the lives touched in the course of your life. Keep doing what your doing brother . I'll say it again because I believe it. I can't wait to be working on our first project together. Not because of any money or fame..but because it will mean you and I chose a project to change the world with. Hmu when your ready.

[@Misha..K]

What a great way to look for inspiration!! The artpiece looks amazing 💜

[@Kiptoe]

it was fun! Thanks!

[@wilmervalles1509]

I'm a fan of your work, and I'm also an artist and I do agree that these types of paintings are so much fun. LOL, I also look for inspiration in magazines and photographs I take of my everyday life as I go to different places. Awesome!

[@SMOENOVA]

the girl with the horns in the middle is so good! I really love the colour pallet you used in this one. Really good!

[@Kiptoe]

Thanks Smoe! Glad you liked it!

[@scotlandtheseer]

As a young artist working hard on getting into galleries and shows, I don't know if you ever feel truly ready. I've only managed to get into one show in four years of applying. Also, I resonate so hard with the no-studio work with your canvases- all my work is done on my bedroom wall and floor. Micro-collage is easier than great big canvases in that sense 😂

[@Eddie_adi]

Amazing work man…. Respect

inspirational mate, fantastic painting!

[@Chan-zn7wb]

I've always wanted to do something like this, but having OCD, I was always anxious about using references. Like, if I used 10, I would then need to go out and find the source of the 10 images to cite so I didn't get sued or dragged into internet drama. I wanted to be actively inspired and become an autodidact that absorbs like a sponge. Major however, I was ruminating where every single drop came from. I was also afraid of studies, incase I 'remembered too much' and got into trouble. It really did take the joy out of drawing. 😢 Seeing successful, professional artists use references has really helped calm me down that its going to be OK. It's part of the creative process that everyone does and you won't get into trouble *especially* if you don't trace. Formal citation or getting explicit permission isn't necessary, unless it's pretty literal. If anyone asks you can just say what inspired you. Thank you for showing us your process, you have no idea what this means to an anxious soul. I feel like I can breathe and be creative without fear.

[@Philtration]

Awesome! I have used the eye popping photography of National Geographic as a source of inspiration for decades.

[@easyzee4169]

Please don't stop painting ❤❤❤

[@LovewhatidoStudio]

That is so awesome that you're promoting wellness? I love my counselor she's the best one i've ever had and she has me doing a vision board... I love the national geographic video you. Did it pumped me up to do my vision board? I've worked with Marilyn Monroe. Collages are my favorite and I also did a refurbished table with a 100 year old newspaper from 1922. It came out really cool I put my art onto antique tables... Thank you so much I love your videos

Kiptoe, Sizes doesn't matter, but your paintings are beautiful.😊.. Thank you for the advice that money doesn't matter,because I am artist, too, and I got disappointed that my paintings didn't get sell in galleries. At least people still love my artworks online when I got them online.🙂.. I love how you used old magazines for inspiration. Now I'm thinking about to use old fantasy book covers and old comics for inspiration....Your painting turned out incredibly beautiful. It reminds me that came from a fantasy book. You should write a fantasy novel. 😊
