Painting a Self Portrait in 15 minutes - Marek's Mediocre Masterpieces

[@FATMANDANCES]

Thanks for including my scribbles. Going to miss these.🤙🖖👍👍

[@liamnicoll]

I really enjoyed this as a fellow non-eyebrower.

[@NickMurrayWillis]

Kieran's picture of Marek is superb! 7:28

[@marekl]

It's bullying.

[@puddindancer]

I hope your brother gave you the picture he did of you. It's amazing! 😄

[@marekl]

I have lots of less than complimentary pictures of me he has already drawn. Ha.

[@puddindancer]

@@marekl Haha! I hope you have repaid the favour in that case 😂

[@crochetlady4373]

I loved these videos. Very liberating and fun to get stuck into a painting without worrying about perfection. Please do another series. How about something by Frida Kahlo ?

[@marekl]

Thank you. I will bring them back soon. Maybe with some watercolours.

[@ReeTM]

Thank you so much for your continued output and uploads, Marek. I for one really appreciate the art you're sharing with everybody. Keep knocking it out of the park!

[@oz25]

Thanks mate xxx

[@jefyhunt6219]

MarET, the end of an era, hopefully the start of another one, thank you on behalf of myself and anyone who dislikes boredom

[@marekl]

Cheers Jefy. Stay cool.

[@stansolo1298]

Awesome Marek, well done! My favourite series of 2020 and probably 2021 too, Excellent! Thank you!

[@marekl]

Thanks cool dude.

[@davidm3569]

A brave attempt again. ' Man thinking of lottery or bingo numbers during the 2020 lockdown' I'm sure in time a well known masterpiece reflecting the effect of self isolating.

[@marekl]

Only afterwards did I realise I should have put times rather than numbers. I cut a bit out when I wasted about fifteen seconds trying to think of the number 5.

[@neilcam]

This was a great series, Marek! Thank you for making them and entertaining us. I'm really looking forward to the return of the Cool Dude walks, though.

[@marekl]

Thanks Neil. Me too. Can't wait to get out walking again.

[@Lance2094]

Thank you Mr Marek!

[@Lance2094]

Mr. Marek, where are you? Hope you are well and are working on a new painting series. 🏞

[@marekl]

Don't worry. It is coming back next Thursday. Stay cool.

[@squalloogal]

You actually look quite proud of yourself at the end. Do another one, Marek. Take longer than 15 minutes.

[@Vurtonable]

Thank you for showing my drawings and for finally featuring a Bush Ranger in one of your videos... even if I had to draw it myself! Grumble grumble. I suggest Picasso Two Women Running on the Beach 1922 it’s one of my favouritist.

[@neilcam]

Woo hooo, someone else who knows Sidney Nolan's work.

[@Vurtonable]

Neil C a fellow Australian clearly...

[@marekl]

I am worried about your obsession with Bush rangers and my running.

[@Vurtonable]

Marek Larwood for me or for you? Neil C likes Bush Rangers too. Maybe I’m starting a movement... next thing you know all your viewers (maybe at least 3 or 4) will be calling for a good Bush Ranger painting. It’s okay it’s not like I’m going around with a black box on my head watching videos of you running. My husband might argue that would be wonderful though. The box on head bit. He runs a bit like you... like an adorable little penguin.

Great series, provided structure during disorientating lockdown mornings

[@marekl]

This is the first time I've provided structure in anyone's life, even my own. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@PowderedCowsMusic]

I think that's very good Catherine, well done 👍

[@melodymoon5768]

Amazing, Thank You 😀😎

[@PaintballMagazine]

Great series Marek. Thank you.

[@marekl]

Thanks cool dude.

[@Alex-cw3rz]

Alternative title: That's Numberwang!

[@marekl]

Ah yes. That was probably at the back of my head.

[@squalloogal]

That disappointed whine at the end 😆 ohhhhhhhh

[@marekl]

I was really hoping to go out on a good one.

[@MakeLAUGHnotWAR]

It's been great rediscovering certain pieces again and finding new artists through this series, cheers Marek :-)

[@marekl]

Thanks dude. That's what I enjoyed most finding out about the artists. I gained even more respect for Matisse, Degas and Kandinsky and found out Lichtenstein was a rip of merchant who just sold comic book artists ideas.

[@Lance2094]

Mr Marek, why not change it up with say maybe do a famous album cover once a month. I do enjoy your series and hope you find your mojo!

[@marekl]

A good shout!

[@helensmith333]

For your Walking Club Water Colors series, will the deadline be 1.5 hours instead of 15 minutes? Your walks take all day.

[@forzapaq]

Hey Mr Larwood. Love your videos, are you having a well earned break from painting the classics?

[@marekl]

Yes but will be back. Check out my other channel 'Cool Dudes Walking Club', just posted a video on there.

[@helensmith333]

You should just go with The Scream as your self-portrait.

[@marekl]

This comment has made me scream.

[@Lance2094]

R u ok Mr Marek?

[@marekl]

Yes. My camera broke so I've had to send it off for repair. Also I thought people were getting a bit sick of the painting videos. Will start again in a bit probably one a week.

[@superpear64]

6:48 a g e 3.

[@TheHenryWallace]

Was this inspired by my portrait of you sent via Instagram at the beginning of this whole saga?

[@nektekket852]

Hey Marek, how are you doing? Haven't seen you for a while, hope all is OK xxx

[@marekl]

Yes thank you. That is very kind. I'm just getting ready to move house and have been working on a card game. I have made a couple of walking videos on my Cool Dudes Walking Club channel. I'll be back with more paintings and weird stuff on here in August probably. Take care dude.

[@petehouse8380]

Good to hear mate, stay safe, and thanks for all the laughs xxx

[@ReeTM]

2:55 lololol

[@UnbelievablyGauche]

Funny, about 4 videos earlier this evening on KZbin, before discovering your channel, I watched David Hackney’s “Secret Knowledge” which has that Van Eyck self portrait! Newsflash - He cheated!
