I feel like I don't need to watch any other artist. I have found my mentor David. Your tutorials are THE best. I have learnt sooo much since I discovered your amazing art. Thank you so much. You brought Abstract art down to my level of understanding!! Lots of love Debs in Spain❤

[@Katerina-vm2ok]

I just came across your channel yesterday and finished watching the video today…this was a most fabulous experience! This is a beautiful painting but the whole process, your thoughts and teachings made this experience one of a kind! Many things you said were things that I thought but wondered if it made sense…now it does. Thank-you for sharing this and it is this kind of art teaching that one needs. 😊

Thank you, for enabling, seeing again or freedom, especially today and the confines of "realism." It is OK to be that free!

[@dianerose4469]

Hi David, You know the saying that when you are ready to receive information it will come to you. Well...I have been struggling for several days with the how to present florals without them being kitschy or expected and out of the ether you appear with this amazing and inspirational way to tackle this problem, At the moment I 've set my oils aside while I experiment with painting on silk with dyes so I need to think about how I can adapt this idea in this format. Whatever happens it will be FUN to try!! thank you so much for appearing out of the ether!!!!

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Dear dianerose4469 - What an appropriate name! I am happy that this program appeared out of the ethers for you and that you enjoyed seeing a different approach. I am experimenting all the time as well. Good luck with your painting and we appreciate your writing to us! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@dianerose4469]

Hi David, this week I'm actually working on a floral in oil...and maybe in the spirit of adventure, I'll also do one in acrylic...and as you see from my much earlier response to your video (see below) you have given me the inspiration to try again. I find I do forget things...must be my age!, but I need to be reminded of things again and again until they become more engrained. So as I said below 11 months ago, you have appeared at just the right time! And I'm so grateful! Diane

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

HI, dianerose4469 - Thank you for coming back again and for being courageous in your painting! Brava! Thank you very much for writing to us - we love hearing from you! It means so much to us to hear from you. All the best, Connie and David

Hello David. I'm typically a pastel painter; however, I dabble in oils and would love to try this technique. Unfortunately, I cannot find the enamel / aluminum painting surface that you referenced in the video. Who makes this product and where can I purchase it? Again, thanks, you are a wonderful inspiration :)

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Hi, deborahtishman586 - Thank you for watching our program and for writing to us. We are really happy that you enjoyed it! This is painted on a composite sheet aluminium, like Dibond, Compbond, or Omegabond, comprising two 0.3 mm thick aluminium cover layers and a polyethylene or mineral core. You can search those terms and find the material. I believe that certain online art stores may now carry it. Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@alisonthomson4008]

Hi David, curious on your canvas which is aluminum coated with what? Thank you for this tutorial.

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Thank you for your question and your kind comments, alisonthomson4008 - I paint on many different surfaces, from quadruple primed Belgian linen, paper, copper, single sheet aluminum, a composite sheet aluminium, like Dibond, comprising two 0.3 mm thick aluminium cover layers and a polyethylene or mineral core, and sometimes I paint over older paintings on all of these surfaces. It really depends upon my painting, and different surfaces give different effects. Some are harder surfaces and you can make different types of marks with your paint brushes, squeegees , paper towels, and other tools. I always experiment and learn from all of these paintings. Good luck with your painting! Thank you for writing. Kind regards, David and Connie

First time seeing this, but already a favourite. Terrific discussion. About 15 minutes before you started to quell the 'eyeballs' in the upper left, there was an even stronger kind of devilish cat face present.

How long do you wait between the layers. do you have to wait till the layer is dry before doing the next layer?

What are you using as a support?

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Dear janetlang9031 - Thank you for your question. This is painted on a composite sheet aluminium, like Dibond, comprising two 0.3 mm thick aluminium cover layers and a polyethylene or mineral core. Good luck with your painting! Thank you for writing. Kind regards, David and Connie

[@dulcieogilvie5786]

So….if I buy a Dibond panel from a factory outlet do I need to prime the surface in some way, or can I paint on it raw, so to speak???? The art shop seems to charge so much and they say the panels are ‘prepared”. But they don’t say in what way!!

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

HI, dulcieogilviw5786 - Thank you for watching our program and for writing to us. I also replied to your earlier question about the dibond. I paint directly on composite sheet aluminium, like Dibond, Compbond, or Omegabond, comprising two 0.3 mm thick aluminium cover layers and a polyethylene or mineral core, and on the raw aluminum that I buy from the hardware store. I cut my - wearing gloves - but you can also ask the shop to cut it for you. You can search those terms and find the material. I believe that certain online artstores may now carry it. Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@Artbycarrie]

Can your style and techniques only be possible using aluminum as your surface? Thanks

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Dear Artbycarrie - Thank you for watching our program and writing. You can definitely use this style and techinique on different surfaces and you will get slightly different effects. I paint on many different surfaces, from quadruple primed Belgian linen, paper, copper, single sheet aluminum, a composite sheet aluminium, like Dibond, comprising two 0.3 mm thick aluminium cover layers and a polyethylene or mineral core, and sometimes I paint over older paintings on all of these surfaces. Some are harder surfaces and you can make different types of marks with your paint brushes, squeegees, paper towels, and other tools. I always experiment and learn from all of these paintings. Good luck with your painting! Thank you for writing. Kind regards, David and Connie

[@Artbycarrie]

@@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt than you for your response and explanation. I do appreciate that. One thing you said about painting on the exhale. I’ve been holding my breath every time for years! 😐

[@globetrotter02818]

Why kind of paint are you using? Acrylic?

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Dear globetrotter02818 - Thank you for watching and for writing. I am painting with oil paints in this demonstration. Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Hi, john! Thank you so much. That is hilarious that you are now an edge detector - join the crowd! We are delighted you enjoyed it. Kind regards, David and Connie

[@franceskavalec350]

The surface , Laminated aluminum is sold ???, can't find it, without the proper surface it will never work so please where can one but it???

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

Hi, franceskavalec - Thank you for watching the program and for writing to us! I paint on enameled aluminum composite panels, white, silver and gold. They are made and marketed as Dibond, CompBond, AlumaBond and the suppliers will vary depending on where you live. You can also check with local sign painting companies. You can call Laminators Inc. to request materials as well. (www.laminatorsinc.com/)

[@bendunselman]

It seems at times you look with a single eye when and why do you do so?

[@DavidDunlopSimmonsArt]

HI, bendunselman - - Thank you for watching the program and for writing to us. Many times I will squint at the painting to amalgamate shapes and colors to help with seeing the painting. Good luck with your painting! Kind regards, David and Connie

[@lylewyant3356]

Mmmm. Holding the shutter open a tiny bit longer to get the sense of motion. I bought my first squeegee just the other day.

And I loved your phrase “ I am going to play to the moment” and your edge making in the abstract color field - and I truly agree that is a play of choice and chance dancing - truly fun and super inspiring to watch and listen to your refelction on Contemporary painting process 🎶🩷❤️💜🎵🦄
