Mural Painting on Abandoned Factory Roof

#subscribe #spraypaint #muralpainting
Howdy guys! Today I have a chill video for you. I spent the afternoon in the old factory to do some relaxing painting on the roof.
No music, no storyline, no fancy edits. Just me and two GoPros, painting in the old factory during the last sunny days of the year.
I've been craving some simplicity in my videos, especially after all those big projects and collaborations this summer.
I keep it with ‪@garyvee‬ "Document, don't create."
I'm looking to create more videos like this in the future.
Thanks a lot for watching.

Thanks! Sending a small gesture your way. I truly enjoy your style and appreciate the 'simplicity' in this video. I'm becoming a fan, and look forward to notifications of new videos!!

[@NickMoody]

Oh wow, I appreciate that! 😍 Thanks so much for the support and the feedback. Means a lot!

[@joemontecalvo]

This is my favorite type of graffiti video! No music, no fast forwarding, etc. No BS. It's perfect. Always leads to great conversation too. Thanks for documenting your wonderful painting!

[@NickMoody]

That's great to hear! I appreciate the detailed feedback.

[@NickMoody]

Thank you!

[@FrankSirius]

Perfect Spot and Perfect Video 😀 It’s so Crazy to see that you can Paint without and Grid. Mindblowing for myself. Love your Work 🫶

[@NickMoody]

Thanks Frank! I use a grid often enough. But sometimes when I have time and it's not a commission I need to nail, I just paint freely to get better at it. Also this was an easy reference. Can't do much wrong here.. 😃

[@juliakremenchugskaya1542]

Absolutely loved this video! Slow-paced, even with a little tea pause

[@NickMoody]

Julia, thank you so much for the thorough comment. It means a lot when people take the time to write that much! And I'm happy to see that this type of video resonates with you and so many others 🙏

[@threeballwilly]

6:50 or so you talked about reminding yourself that you don't have to adhere to the reference photo, that you're free to do whatever you want. I am so guilty of this! My brain will slowly lean toward my art needing to be an exact copy of my reference photo. That will severely stress me over the course of the project. I have to remind myself that the reference photo is just inspiration, and my art is to be relaxing. I very much enjoy that you talk to us; the audience. You're way further ahead in your art than I am in mine, you have many insightful things to say. Thank you.

[@NickMoody]

It's s great to hear that my jabbering resonates with people on a deeper level. I appreciate you watching and taking the time to write this long comment 🙏

[@pjacobs1338]

Love your technique and signature color pallet, I agree with most here that the raw footage is where it's at.. Thanks for sharing!

[@NickMoody]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for tuning in!

[@roxs_love]

Wie man`s hier eh schon viel lesen kann, ich finde deine entspannten/chilligen videos auch super so wie sie sind. passt find ich auch gut zu den (oftmals) umgesetzten adventure thematiken

[@NickMoody]

Vielen Dank mein bester! Ich bin auch ganz happy wie sich das alles entwickelt ✌

[@MarcsSpark]

Love the video. Such a chill vibe. Small piece, no music and heavy editing. Just the sound of the wind, the cans and your voice. Really relaxing.

[@NickMoody]

So cool it came across like this. Just more raw and real and less edited. Thank you!

[@barks165]

Yes! This is the perfect type of video.

Thanks for watching!

[@VitalyTesh]

Yes, I love this kind of content, you know) I myself sometimes like to make such videos, sometimes I don't speak at all. I think the roof of this factory is an ideal place for painting canvases. Nice video, love these videos from your factory, like the atmosphere! And of course a good piece, as always, Bro!)

[@NickMoody]

Yes bro, I know you like em too 😎 I thought exactly the same. painting a canvas up there must be really relaxing. You're just so isolated and nobody is bothering you. Looking forward to the day you're visiting!

[@djchadone]

Perfekt um den Abend ausklingen zu lassen. Ist krass zu sehen wie sich deine Bilder entwickelt haben. Absolut großartig 👌

[@NickMoody]

Vielen Dank! 🙏

[@jkell42]

Moody- your right that spot is a perfect place to paint! I love seeing Thoser and Smoe tags on the factory buildings. I would love to try spray painting.

[@NickMoody]

Tags of the homies everywhere here! 😂 Yeah give it a try. it's cheap to start and there are so many resources on the the internet to get better.

[@jdharris2165]

Loved it

[@dakdf]

Was mir besonders gefällt kein nerviges kitschiges dubstep gedöns 👍minimalistisch ist immer gut dann konzentriert man sich auf's wesentliche ! Perfektion ist nicht erreicht wenn man nichts mehr hinzufügen kann sondern wenn nichts mehr weglassen kann 😁

[@NickMoody]

Dem Kommentar kann ich nichts mehr hinzufügen. Perfekt 😏✌Vielen Dank

[@beatmusicfactory]

Good job bro.. Keep on rockin'

[@fazenight2355]

That’s a really cool painting! I was having a perfect day to watch this kind of a painting video. It’s calm, interesting and clean. Absolutely love it!

[@NickMoody]

So great to hear! I'm glad it fit right into your day :)

[@saraczirjak6591]

I really enjoyed this type of content, I hope you post more videos similar to this one. Question: Can you talk about your life? How did you become an artist, what was your journey?

[@NickMoody]

I definitely will! I might share some insights in future videos again, but I have talked about a lot of it in other videos. In one of my recent Q&A videos with Smoe I talk a little bit about this. Thanks for watching ❤

[@tomiibarra8733]

Nice Moody. Love these types of videos. It's alot more real and love these types of paintings as well. Thank you

Yeah that's true! Put it on tape for eternity ✌️

Seriously awesome Nick--- it seems all your videos motivate & inspire me to just create my art--- I really like this kind of video--- its informative to painters who r interested in spray paint art--- we get to c the process not just a high speed video Thanx Nick--- keep it going & thanx 4 sharing

[@NickMoody]

Love to hear it! Can’t ask for anything more than to inspire and motivate people to paint! ❤️

Came out amazing bro 👏 keep doing videos like this

[@NickMoody]

Thanks! Will do!

[@Porco1984]

I really, really! like this kind of content Mr. Moody. Just Nick enjoying the good weather, having a mug of tea and talking about the process, it's so good ✌The artwork came out pretty good as well 😁

[@NickMoody]

Thanks so much for taking the time to write this! I'll do more of this.

[@theinfamouslifestyle]

Awesome work mate and interesting video. Really goes to show that when it comes to a painting video whether it be this type of art or graffiti or anything else we really we don’t need no other BS we just need the straight form of art. 👌🏼

[@NickMoody]

It’s good to hear I’m not the only one enjoying my videos 😂 makes it even more fun! Pure and raw, that’s where it’s at! (At least for the next little while…)

[@theinfamouslifestyle]

@@NickMoody well il be keeping my eyes out for more videos man its good to see and good too see your followers grow you was at like 300 something when I first followed so it’s not just me enjoying them bro a lot of other people are loving your content and it’s dope to see 🙌🏼

[@pablomovil5]

Love your work and your videos man. This raw, chill type of video is really cool, but you also have some great editing skills, love those videos too. The two formats are nice, just continue making great content as you’re doing!

[@NickMoody]

I appreciate that!

[@TheMrNervone]

Nice mate

[@NickMoody]

Thanks bro!

[@MrKnoxville9]

Really enjoy this vibe and the minimal pallet but maybe less side and distant shots and more close up technique shots maybe with a simple explenation of the process, lets face it most of us are here to understand the magic and maybe try and emulate it. Great video 🤙😎

[@NickMoody]

Gotta have a good variety of shots in my opinion. Especially when the entire videos consists of the same object (the wall). But I'll keep it in mind. I appreciate the feedback ✌

[@frank_tattooer]

Very nice brother, I found it easier when I use spray paint to start from dark to light on portraits

[@NickMoody]

I figured working from mid tones towards both, the darks and the lights, works best for me. But in reality I'm all over the place 😂

[@sonbaby49]

Liked it, lloking for some more content like this, maybe some raw videos ;)

[@NickMoody]

I will make more like this for sure!

[@MrDuLukes]

This has more of an ASMR-feeling to it, compared to TenHundred for example, which is always flashy, lots of beats, much talking. You definetly distinguish yourself from a lot of other artists by doing that I think, and I love it. It maybe doesn't necessarily fit into your kind of content, but I'd like to get a few pointers on caps, like what to use for details on a painting like the size in this video. how did you come up with your purple/orange colour pallette? The rabbit-combo-wall with smoe and doke was awesome, maybe paint something in a similar style again...? ....Please As a carpainter, the filters in your mask to watch out for, are the thick ones. Basically you have particle filters (the thin ones you swapped) and active coal filters (thick ones), in short marked as P2 & A2. The A2 filters react with any moisture, and once saturated, stop filtering. Since air has a lot of moisture, keeping them in a small container makes them last longer. They also just continue to spread the moisture within, so after some time, they're just saturated, and it can be tough to breath. The P2 should really last a long time if you're just spraypainting in the open.

[@NickMoody]

Thank you for the long and thorough comment. I usually keep my respirator in a box. I just put in the tote to carry it up the roof. And yes I agree. I enjoy the more real, ASMR vibe videos as opposed to the big flashy productions (at the moment at least). And I think the feedback in the comments here proves: we're not the only ones! I will put infos about caps and colours in my next videos. Didn't realize that this might be something people are interested in. And more roller work next time for sure. Can't wait!

[@VentOne]

What a video! So direct, so cool. It was very inspirational. I need to do a painting like this as soon as i can, Just me, the wall and a cool lettering. Keep pushing nick🤜🤛

[@NickMoody]

Thank you! "Inspirational" is one of the best compliments I can imagine! 🙏

[@shapesque]

Great art vid. A lot of us just want to see this kind of content; skillful painting and narration. And long videos = 🔥

[@NickMoody]

It's great to get this feedback. Thank you! 🙏I'll do more of this and maybe a few even longer ones in the future.

[@pedrospenna]

Awesome stuff! Shout out from Brazil following your journey from overseas 😅 I like the minimalist proposal, but I would love to hear more about the process. What caps, color when you add shades and details etc... keep on!!

[@NickMoody]

Thanks a lot! Will try that in future videos and see if that works. Much love to Brazil! ✌️

[@BeingBendsen]

Rather more casual, easy going videos like this, than big and long videos - really enjoyed this vid 🙏 Great small talk! 🤙 Question for another video; You talked about sticking to the reference, and often too much to the reference. How often do you actually paint without a reference? Like perhaps completely wing-it, or perhaps only do a very rough concept and then creating all the details from your imagination? What are your thoughts on it? 💭

[@NickMoody]

Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoy this style of video too. I rarely paint without a reference. But I want to. I admire artists that are able to paint that freely. I will tackle this one day for sure! And I’m sure I’ll be filming it too! 😏

[@jimmydehnel4345]

Good one Nick! Its nice with theese shorter videos every once in a while. Are you doing any halloween theme Wall ? Would be fun watching

[@NickMoody]

Thanks Jimmy! Yes I will paint a Halloween wall this coming week together with Mattez, the organizer of Paint on Walls Festival.

[@JayD2004]

Nächstes mal bitte die Wasserwaage mitbringen 😂

[@NickMoody]

Ne, dann hab ich ja schon wieder so viel stuff mit dabei 😂✌

[@mrd9095]

Awesome! What cap did you say you always use for detail?

[@NickMoody]

I use the Ma'Claim cap for details mostly. It's not the cleanest cap, but it allows you to paint super thin.

[@jkell42]

When you pick color schemes, do you have a design in mind first and then pick the colors? Or do you pick a color scheme and then choose subject

[@NickMoody]

I while back I kinda committed to only paint with these purple, pink and beige shades in my personal work. At least until I don't feel it anymore. It takes out the entire process of picking colours and all that nonsense.. I find it very deliberating.

[@jkell42]

It has really nice range of values… if you keep same colors it will create a very cohesive portfolio as you document your work for a season.

[@kryptonianbat]

As a new sub 2 ur channel this is a really gd piece, I like how the lighter colors set the skin tones n lighting throughout the portrait. I will need to watch more of ur videos so that i am sure of the types of artwork u do.. Keep the videos coming!! Til next tyme...keep those cre8ive juices abrewing!!!

[@NickMoody]

Enjoy watching the other videos! Good to have you! 🙌

[@atyourservicedwarve]

really nice video! And i love your color schemes! which capsize do you use normally?

[@NickMoody]

I use Montana Level 1 and standard Gold cap, as well as Ma'Claim for details. Filled the background first with the red calligraphy caps. I might include some infos about this in one of the next videos.

[@nellartusa]

For someone that wants to start doing portraits on the wall in spray-paint technique, what would you recommend so the proportions gets done correctly? This is the first time I have seen your channel and I found out about it through BlackBean CMS. Thank You!

[@NickMoody]

Use the doodle grid method. That's the fastest and easiest way to get the proportions onto the wall. I use it all the time. There's plenty tutorials here on KZbin. Enjoy the process 🙌

[@nellartusa]

@@NickMoody Thank You!🙏🏻

[@JakesBeats]

This was really awesome to watch man. More of this id say! Good job. This is not really painting related, but what kind of camera/cameras you use to film?

[@NickMoody]

Thank you Jake! I've been trying to downsize my filming setup. No big camera for this one. Just a GoPro 8 on my head and some other angles, a GoPro 11 on a tripod, and my new DJI wireless mic for good audio. Maybe I'll unpack my setup in a future video, if that's something a few people are interested in.

[@JakesBeats]

@@NickMoody nice man. Been looking for a camera (gopro possibly) cos im filming with phone currently and its not really ideal anymore haha. Thanks for the answer man👌🙏

[@NickMoody]

Don't recommend any GoPro if you're filming in the dark a lot. Other than that, you can't really go wrong with it. @@JakesBeats

[@karstenmeermann7913]

Mal wieder sehr stark.wie kriegst du die proportionen so gut hin ohne doodle grid? Einfach rantasten,oder bist du da schon so sicher mittlerweile das es immer passt?

[@NickMoody]

Vielen Dank Karsten! Also das war jetzt ein eher einfaches Motiv, da ging das ganz gut. Ansonsten zieh ich mir ein paar Linien rein..

I too love this personal content. As a non-painter, the clack-clack of the balls in the paint can does get a little loud (intrusive?) after a while though! Not enough to make me stop watching!

[@NickMoody]

It's cool to hear, that even people who don't paint themselves, enjoy watching these kind of videos! 😍 Yeah I agree, they tend to get a little noisy as they're getting more empty. My new mic setup is really close to the cans now.. that's why you hear them so loud. I keep that in mind next time! 🙏
