LIVE PAINTING - How I work commission paintings with Acrylic Abstract Artist - Lori Mirabelli

[@gaygroomes1152]

Lori did a commission for me and was fabulous to work with. I wanted a much larger version of a small painting she had posted and she did an incredible job translating a small vertical painting into a large square. She communicated constantly and welcomed my input. Lori is not only a wonderful artist but also a fair and admirable businesswoman. Thanks, Lori.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Aww Gay truly you made the commission one of my most memorable experiences. Thank you for being you and for your lovely comment.

[@lenmey1]

I got chills from this message and reply! So special!

[@artwithcoeurage5689]

Thanks for sharing your philosophy on commissions. I like the idea of an open-ended agreement.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

A lot of clients like it as well. 😊

[@Moe-zo4fm]

Thank you Lori this was so helpful, I like the idea of letting the client have a chance to buy the painting rather than taking any money to paint the commission painting.

[@SuperUsername147]

Coming from the perspective of someone that has never been a fan of abstract art, your work is stunning and your process speaks for itself. You make me want to explore the world of abstract.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

These means so much to me thank you very much😊😊😊

[@kimgrandy_art_]

I love the little shimmy dance breaks as you are painting!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

haha Thanks Kim :)

[@gelsoncostalima6403]

I love very very very much abstract painting. Your work is wonderful. Abstract background with technique, foundation and deep feeling of art. A big hug!

[@itsmick1]

Thanks for uploading your video, love them ❤

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Thanks for watching!

[@cdwsmith1724]

What a joy to watch you work! And your joy shines through in the painting. Thanks.

[@artwithcoeurage5689]

The painting is gorgeous. Love watching the history build.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Thanks so much I appreciate that. :)

[@kt1239]

Just found your channel. If I'm honest, in the beginning, I couldn't connect with this type of art. By the end, I was captivated by the transformation, your vision, how this piece evolved into a one of a kind masterpiece. Thank you for using this platform to show the beauty of ALL art. Stunning.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Oh My Gosh....seriously you just made my day!!! Thank you so much :)

[@scottcudahy8200]

New to your channel and very much appreciate the info on commission work. Also like the idea of adding the music while we're allowed to watch you work. Lot's to learn. Great ideas, thanks for sharing!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Awesome, thank you!

[@randirosanikolajsen6372]

My favorite artist to look at, listen to and learn from🤩😍🥰🤗

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Aww thank you so much 😊

[@sharimilledge3133]

Hello Lori, I am a recent follower. Your have explained and answered so many questions I had. Thank you for your time, sharing and input to the art world😊... Will continue watching

[@CreatewithAly]

I appreciate you sharing your tips and your transparency on how to support you for sharing, like watching the video until the end and making a comment on here versus Instagram. You have shared such valuable tips and I appreciate your explanations and topics. Thanks!

[@IndigoJaguar7323]

Love the music and the dancing. Took me back to my clubbing days. If only to spend a day again in my 20’s! 👍🏻

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Haha OMG right!!!

[@IndigoJaguar7323]

I grew up in and around Buffalo and there was this place called The Continental back in 95. It was so much fun! I met fellow artists there, you could be whomever you were. One night, this guy showed up wearing a black cape and spun around on the dance floor without being bothered. Those were the days!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

That’s awesome. Those are the best places where nobody judges. Wish they were more of them

[@lindapowell2660]

Wow!! Love it. Just great watching how you work. Such energy and Oh yes, the Layering. I'm a Canadian living in the UK, now painting full time, switching to Abstract! You are an inspiration. Bravo.!!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Thanks so much 😊🥰🥰🥰

[@FaithfromGOD]

I also love to see your JOY in doing your work. Great Painting, congrats on the move.

I love watching artists paint, it‘s so soothing ♥️ Thank you for sharing.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Thanks so much 😊 I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I agree I have also loved watching other artists paint and even when I complete my voice overs I have to keep myself from getting completely drawn in.

[@fayekonyi6291]

I really enjoyed this. Watching a painting appear and disappear and appear again in another form is fascinating.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Aww thank you so much :)

[@irusankingofcats]

Hi Lori, just want to say how much I love your KZbin videos. Love your work, you sure put the work into it and they are beautiful and unique. I laugh at your wee dances and waving your arms - it's great keep it up its your jolly personality. Wishing you continued success. Best regards, Brian.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Thank you so much Brian! Ya hard to help myself....I music and dancing helps to keep me from going into my head and thinking about what I'm do.

[@maryselemay7797]

I just discovered you and your art and I am so happy. I spent two months being obsessed with painting and feeling alive and joyful and even sold three paintings! Then I hit a brick wall of doubt and painting sessions that leave me depressed and wondering why I am doing this. Thank you for sharing all of it! Your work is beautiful.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

What you described is something I go through at least twice a year. lol I think it's part of the process.

[@sarahgraham431]

i love the little dances you do throughout!!

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Ha thanks Sarah, Half the time I don't even realize I'm do dance moves. I'm trying to keep it to a minimum not as my legs are dead at the end of my paint sessions.

[@veramoiseartwork5635]

I really like your works and their different directions or stands! When you first covered so much in light blue, I was like "whyyy?!". But then I got the depths and shades and overall picture. I'd love a closer look too!❤

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

haha yes, it can be stressful to watch, so many think it's wasted paint but to get the end result this is the process...lots of different layers. thank you so much for watching and leaving a comment. :)

[@janinafisher101]

Definitely would love some close ups at the end! 👍🏻🇨🇦

[@josephinekaracsony776]

I know this video was probably a while ago but I came across it and I just love your process. Thank you.

[@ramonajansen4663]

Loved the video....I feel the same about commission work. The client only pays/buys the requested painting if they are truly happy with it. 🎨 Loved the end result of this painting. Amazing how you start and then finish!😊♥️

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

Absolutely!! I think being fair with with the client and builds trust and allows for more chances to have commissions come your way. and thanks so much...this painting was a journey 😂

[@violakaruleart]

I appreciate your tips working with commissions, thanks!! Probably I will try this for my clients. Have a nice day!

It's so great that you will be posting regularly. Can't wait to see more. Would love a video focused on your canvas while you work. Just to see colours and shapes evolve up close.

[@lorimirabelliabstractartist]

I'm going to play around with some different angles and see what I can do. It's challenging but I paint on an easel. If I was a flat painter this would be so much easier to capture lol

[@melaniew2077]

yes I agree. would love a look at the end of your session to see some of the colors and marks close up!

Wow! I really like this painting, so soothing to look at. When I let my eyes focus on the entire painting as a whole and not really looking at any one part of it, the painting looks like a collage of photos, pictures, fragments of pictures or photos etc... really interesting to me. Like looking into the past with fragments of photos, so mush going on here, Stunning!
