LIFE OF AN ARTIST // Painting for an Exhibition [Ep. 2]

A behind-the-scenes view of what it's like as an artist working on a solo exhibition. I created 8 new watercolour paintings for my first ever solo, "Flood" at Haven Gallery. The exhibition has already opened, so you can check out the body of work over on my website. #brbchasingdreams

Extremely interesting! Great video bro :)

[@kelogsloops]

thanks pal! 💕

[@Not_sher]

You should try this

[@jaredjabasa1060]

Fuudggge! These two great artists need collab. 😍

[@janethosoria3420]

OMG ITS VEXX

[@kelogsloops]

EPISODE TWO!! The show has opened already, but I still want to share with you guys the behind-the-scenes of it all. It was a huge chapter in my life, being both a highlight and also one of the most intense periods. It's taken a while to edit all the footage since coming back home from the US, but I finally figured a direction for these studio/vlog style videos and I hope you guys enjoy it. I'm already working on episode 3, which will come out next week :)

[@richieray6619]

You are almost running out of your most used colors in your cotman paint. Are you going to replace them with artist grade?

[@cristinadigiuseppe1501]

kelogsloops I love your art

[@kelogsloops]

​@@richieray6619 most of the colours have already been replaced with artist grades! I think there are just a few pans left that are still the original cotman's

[@komorebi3803]

@@kelogsloops Maybe you already know it but you can use the heat of a hairdryer to break the adhisive of tape. Then you don't have to be afraid to rip the paper, it will peel of very simple and clean. :)

[@lorrainegatzke1048]

Exquisite work 💖

[@thaibaha3083]

he had a solo exhibition

[@josueuwu3409]

Yes he had a solo exhibition

[@archietheredcat]

Your art and the detail of your painting are breathtaking.. I also love the way you put your shading in your watercolor piece, I get with what you said about water color aesthetic and how if you want to have so many control why not just use alcrylic or copic.. but I think water color controled shade have different vibe with other media, and have their own charm.. in my personal preference loose watercolor thecnique are kinda mainstream lol so its okay if you have your own style in doing watercolor and not using watercolor aesthetic.. your painting are still amazing either way, thank you for sharing the video

[@joaquimramis4124]

Completly agree with this comment. The fact that you use watercolor this way makes your art unique! You get textures and vibes that i havent seen before. If i had to give it an explanation, i would say that its the flowness or softness of watercolour mixed with your controlled style that makes your works a calm and safe place to look at.

[@schaderway9887]

I just wanna say that your art and techniques are just astounding! You are such a big inspiration and I love watching your videos! The way of using the colors and the love to detail is just incredible. You are one of my biggest inspirations in art and you make me want to keep improving and keep going! So thank you for making such great pieces and sharing it with the world to see! ^^ keep going! EDIT: thanks for the heart and so many likes! I’m really happy that my comment reached you all •w•

[@chimchim4856]

Talented and Adorable Why can't I find guys like that in my life?

[@vanshikaatrevadia2093]

There are one and only

[@-blotches-3365]

Dem peels doe

[@kelogsloops]

isn't no kelogsloops video without no peelporn!

[@aidand.7911]

Could you please do a video on your drawing process alone? I'm sure a lot of us would like to see how you get your lines to be so clean

[@Sjaan97]

Yes please

[@KimberlyCrick]

At 4:21 I was at the edge of my seat there saying "yeah! please please please! don't rip the paper, be smooth...." /holds breath...and phew, yay! Well done, beautiful. At 8:06 I just had faith it would be ok. I know it's easier to blend with oil, but this is just gorgeous work with the skin shading and I appreciate seeing it done with watercolor. Entertaining vlog, wishing you the best with your show.

[@jvstinxavier]

I'm so glad I got to see them in person! Absolutely breathtaking, and so inspiring ✨

[@kelogsloops]

thanks for coming out to the show justin, was so great to meet you!!

[@MerakiPainter]

When you did the white sea foam I forgot how to breathe. You literally took my breath away! Wow 💙👏🏻👏🏻

[@bubblesintheocean4638]

Every time you post a video, my jaw just drops for the entirety of it. This is nothing different, everything is just so beautiful....one day, I hope I'll be able to paint as beautifully as you do. Keep on improving!!

[@jengoodwyn2715]

IT'S ALIVE! Lol. And on KZbin! Gorgeous work. You really inspire me to work on my watercolour art. Thank you! Are you, in fact, having a solo exhibition?? Why didn't you say?! 😉

[@kelogsloops]

[@redriderfox326]

Love this art work.

[@cathyherzberg201]

So very cool to see how you worked on these most incredibly beautiful pieces!!!! especially the print I got from Haven Gallery❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@baoboozled]

I'm so happy I found you again! You were the very first art channel I watched on tutorials for watercolour. I stumbled up the video by chance and it got me into watercolour a year ago or so... if it weren't for you I would never have tried it, but man I love it now. It's so nice finding you again and still being in absolute awe of your mastery of watercolours! Thank you!

[@TheElectric100]

jeeez i love your art dude! That so fucking beautiful!

[@phoenixtapia6603]

3 years later and you are still my biggest inspiration for watercolor painting. I started painting a few years ago because I would watch your videos and wish I could do the same thing, and now I've been working up to it and I'm so glad to see us both growing as artists! #brbchasingdreams

I'm loving your art so much. Your one of my inspirations. That last piece I can see on my wall. Many I should make a Christmas gift for myself 😉

I look forward to your future trials and tribulations 🌟🏆🌟
