Minimalist Landscape Warm-up Painting | 15 Minute Time Limit | Reworking a Scrap Painting

[@PaulWalesArt]

Damn! If you can pull this off in 15 mins (plus some tinkering), well...! Honestly it's stunning.

[@chrisloudart]

Thanks so much, D C! That's kind of you to say.

[@jackieschomburgart]

Loved this loved watching this, Chris! ❤

[@chrisloudart]

Hey, Jackie! Thanks so much 😊 Funny, I just finished watching one of your videos on grid journaling about an hour ago. Loved it!

[@jackieschomburgart]

@ Ha! Clearly we both have excellent taste! 😉🤣❤️

[@chrisloudart]

😂 😂 Yes, indeed!

Adding the vermilion was the magic touch

Thank you, Katy!

[@jackieswe]

I absolutely love this Chris! Isn’t it amazing how that extra little play time and adding the vermillion just finished this piece! 😍😍 Wonderful work, thanks so much for sharing!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@chrisloudart]

Thank you so much, Jackie! I love walking away from a painting for a few minutes or longer and how the missing piece seems to jump right out at you.

[@jackieswe]

@@chrisloudart absolutely! I've been noticing as well when I take a photo of work I think is complete and I look at the photo on the phone I can see where it's lacking, it's like looking at it from a different perspective. I've realised this recently with IG, so in future I'll be really checking the photo first to see what further work is needed! I've reworked so many pieces after posting😅

[@chrisloudart]

Haha, I thought I was the only one who did that. My latest method is to put the finished piece on the wall for a few days and see if I notice anything I want to change before calling it 'Final'. Doesn't always work though.

[@jackieswe]

@@chrisloudart Yep it can be hit or miss, it's always a learning process to see what works and what doesn't 😊

[@stefanstern3542]

I love this beautiful painting!.. Simplicity is the way to go!

[@chrisloudart]

Thanks, Stefan!

[@MsJwilson13]

The addition of the vermillion was the icing on an already beautiful cake. Lovely! Thanks for sharing your process. (Glad to see your sub numbers ticking up!!!)

[@chrisloudart]

Thank you so much, Jodi! I think the vermillion made it a bit more engaging.

[@lulukan64]

Love it!🥰

[@chrisloudart]

Thanks, Lori!

Thank you for sharing

[@chrisloudart]

My pleasure! Thanks for watching!

[@annrubino6252]

Lovely painting - wouldn't this one be wonderful all grown up to big boy size? Do you ever paint large? I would love to see an extended video where you maintain your seemingly spontaneous brushwork. Thanks, Chris.

[@chrisloudart]

Thanks, Ann! It's funny you ask about larger paintings. I just wrote on my to do list for today to gesso some larger canvases. I have always been a fast painter, but I'm sure part of the "seemingly spontaneous brushwork" is due to the video being sped up.

[@alinserea4179]

I love 💞, the amount of information 💓 you give 💝 in this 💖, interesting💓,💞video thanks for the beautiful video you share,💯,,💓.

[@chrisloudart]

Thanks, Alin!

[@abstractbybrian]

I’m going to try this…11x14 is about right I think What I really want to do is a 48 x 60!

[@chrisloudart]

11x14 is perfect to start, then jump right onto that 48x60! Going bigger is an absolute blast!

[@finditfixitandflipit5229]

love it like always... but u painted over the little old farm house on the left....

[@chrisloudart]

Thank you! Yeah, the left went through a little bit of a transformation. Haha, not all on purpose either.

❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@chrisloudart]

Merci, Martine!

[@talismannz]

Love this! Looks so effortless ! Can I ask what brand of paints you mainly use?

[@chrisloudart]

Thanks, Deborah! I use a lot of Winsor & Newton Galleria Acrylic and Grumbacher Academy. I find those both to be good quality paints and not too expensive. With that said, I also have a hodgepodge of other brands from Liquitex to Artists Loft to little tubes of very inexpensive paint that someone gave me.

[@talismannz]

@@chrisloudart thank you Chris!

[@LucindaDangles]

very nice............Do you ever look at Ian Roberts videos?

[@chrisloudart]

Thanks, Lucinda! Absolutely, Ian Roberts is amazing. I've watched many of his videos. Ian breaks composition and color down in a way that makes painting look so easy, effortless, and accessible to anyone. Quite inspiring!

[@LucindaDangles]

@@chrisloudart I went to the San Francisco Art Institute in the late 60s. I learned more from Ian Roberts than 4 years at SFAI.

[@chrisloudart]

@@LucindaDangles He is an excellent teacher! Strong information and examples.

[@LucindaDangles]

I went to Hobby Lobby and they have silicone paint brushes on 40% off. 01/20/23

[@chrisloudart]

Nice! I might have to swing by and grab a couple more. Thanks for the heads up!🙂
