Someone once said "Art should comfort the disturbed and disturb the comfortable.", your work does both!

[@emmalineortegon1708]

Sasha Gonsalves a graffiti artist known as banksy said that😊

[@trahapace150]

Bullshit....nothing disturbing or comforting about yet another artist who paints mostly hot women

[@sashxG]

@@trahapace150 each to their own 😊

[@jbhann]

The saying above doesn’t reflect the artwork in the video. The artwork is wonderful, but there’s nothing disturbing about it. Norman Rockwell was a great artist, and wouldn’t consider any of his works to be reflected in the above saying either. The above saying is quite horrifying and sick. There’s a sadistic sculpture of a person who was a victim of a serial killer in the home of a political person. That demonic sculpture is a representation by the above saying, and that’s not a good thing. Curious who this someone was who said that.

When you start I said it's perfect. When you are on the middle of the painting I said it's perfect. And when you ended I said it's perfect. You are such a great artist. I love it. Can you make a video about mixing skin tones? I will appreciate it. Amazing work like always

So glad I found this free spirit just as I was having anxiety about trying to paint,

[@michellek8369]

if painting gives you “anxiety”, it’s not for you “. Painting is supposed to be relaxing or a hobby

[@uniquemystique8566]

michelle k I know it’s for me. Art disturbs the comfortable and comforts the disturbed. My anxiety is not putting paint to canvas - it’s in not being able to spread the best of my soul in a way that is easily conveyed to others. I’m sitting down right now in front of a new medium I tried because I found him. The word ‘gouache’ gave me anxiety two hours ago. Now? Not at all. How much do you know me? Nothing at all. Feel free to drop your email so I can send you some of my art and you can send me some of yours. Lots of artists have anxiety about tackling a new area of interest. Growing old also gives me anxiety - is it not for me? Should I just die? Ha, no. I will push through anyway and find the beauty in the process.

[@ArtsySketcher]

The first reason I picked art was because it was fun, but as the years went on and as I improved, it became very stressful, even to pick up a new piece I feel desperate to get over with it. But watching your videos have made me realize to enjoy it again, forget about the perfection and embrace the imperfections! Thank you.😊

What's not to like Yes, he's been around the block a few times and knows the job. Compare his work to some of the so called "art" that you can see for sale in the galleries in New York and he's streets ahead Very nice video, and enjoyed listening to it as well. Good job !

[@Zarouge]

@@charlestaylor6279 hello Charles! That's fascinating, I can imagine that being extremely useful to you in your profession. I've never been to New York so I will take your word for what the art scene is like there. And yes you are quite right.. what's not to like? 😊

[@charlestaylor6279]

@@Zarouge I now live 100 miles south of Bangkok in Thailand in a condo right on the beach. I look at KZbin videos of New York Galleries. There's a guy who goes round all of them and has done for about thirty years. The standard is dreadful 90% of the time It seems that you need to be in with the "In crowd" to make money, and it helps if you're gay, addicted to alcohol and drugs and have an unpronounceable name. Then all you have to do is get a bowl of dark paint, any colour will do and hurl it at the canvas from about six foot away. That should take you no more than fifteen minutes. Then when it's dry, sell it for thousands. There's obviously many people in New York with far more money than sense. I could go on, but you've got the idea. The guy on the bike making the videos seems to think they're all great. I keep telling him they aint. You can imagine he loves me ! Kind regards - Chris in Thailand

How should I not get lost in the details? You do everything with such simplicity and the painting is coming alive but if I look closely everything is so simple. How do you put all together like this? As I’m getting lost doing eyelashes, lip’s details and so on. Thank you, I need to learn to see like you ❤

Can you please demonstrate or explain the best way to learn how to get the right colors you’re after each time you mix, choose and apply it? I seem to have to do a lot of correcting, as I paint, but you place the color, and it is just right - in both value and hue! Thanks!

[@Hannahmonahnah]

Amazing artwork!!! Been wanting to try oil painting so bad 🙈

[@Erinski]

Just a small tip for anyone that's not aware, you can put oil on top of acrylic, but not the other way around. Acrylic is like plastic, but oil shrinks and expands ever so slightly, and if you put acrylic on top of it, even if you think it's completely dry, eventually your painting will begin to crack.

[@glittersparkles1526]

This is truly aesthetic

[@liliavalentine]

when it comes to the eyes, do you have any tips for painting light eyes? this video was so helpful!

[@OghenerukevweEchanomi]

It looks so easy when you do it and I'm scared to try oil painting on my canvas right now and ruin it, but then I have no other option but to go for oil paints as I can't really blend quick enough while using acrylics because the paints dry off before I clean my brush.
