Painting Ronald Lampitt's Skating by Moonlight in 15 mins | Marek's Mediocre Masterpieces

[@neilmeadowcroft7569]

Great to see this series back. I had the magic porridge pot book. I think of it everytime i see the porridge expanding in the microwave.🙂👍

[@marekl]

That was a great one.

[@benlawry5759]

Fantastic! It's been a while for one of these masterpieces.

[@marekl]

I think they are turning into an annual charity thing

[@MikeRolls]

Magnificent stuff as always, Marek. I've missed these!

[@marekl]

Thanks Mike. Happy Christmas

[@MikeRolls]

Merry Christmas@@marekl

Great to see you painting again Marek. It’s grey and dull here at home, so the perfect day to create. I think ladybird books were produced in Loughborough. When I used to travel to London and go through Loughborough station there was a huge enlarged illustration from one of the their fairytales., saying ‘. The home of ladybird books’. Really quite special for a child of the seventies. Great result by the way, I’ll see if can make the winning bid…Robin

[@marekl]

Maybe there is a ladybird museum somewhere, it would be a great place to visit.

[@danielgreenhalgh4674]

I'd love to see Marek have a crack at a Bob Ross using the wet-on-wet oil painting technique.

[@marekl]

Ha. I’ll have to buy some oils one day Dan. Hope you are well.

[@nicholasjeremy56]

Glad to see these series back. Few years back i used to watch all your 15 minute painting vids. Hope you continue these type of videos

[@KevinCullen]

Huzzah, another masterpiece created before our very eyes! Splendid. I hope you and Wango are properly watered, Wango III sends their regards, as do I.

[@marekl]

Wango is still doing ok. He sits opposite my desk and I look and him for most of the day.

[@travelbuzz1]

Nice one c... Mr Masterpiece. Always a pleasure to learn about the greats and be inspired. Who knows - I might dig out the crayolas to have a go over the Xmas hols 🎄🍷🖍️

[@tobiepedroz1321]

Great to see another new video in this great series Marek, thank you so much. Hope this comes up in the quiz tonight.

[@marekl]

Good luck in the quiz.

[@georgec2894]

Congrats on 10k subscribers. I enjoyed slowly cheering you over the line, while your walking channel nips at the heels already👍

[@JessieCori]

Oh, wie wunderbar! Gar nicht so mittelmäßig 😉 Mehr davon bitte. Dankeschön!😃 Skating by moonlight - how romantic!

[@marekl]

Dane meine liebeling

[@mattentwistle70]

A mediocre but thoroughly welcome return of your arty skills. I loved the Ladybird books. My mum used to buy me one each week when we went shopping as they used to have them by the checkouts in the Presto supermarket and I always chose a book rather than sweets. Favourites were the Little Red Hen and Ginger's Adventures. Nice one 👍

[@marekl]

You were a wise child going for the books! I have been enjoying trying to find all my old favourite books on eBay and World of Books.

[@judybee]

👍👍😄 Got the Covid from hell at mo so this really cheered me up on a bleak Tuesday afternoon. Hope there's more of these to come again x J x

[@marekl]

Get well soon cool dude.

[@sfsunday74]

"Maximum Bon Jour" is your next album title

[@marekl]

A good plan cool dude

[@vanutra]

The Elves and the Shoemaker was a banger of a book as well! P.S loving all the Deutsch in this vid! 😂👌🏼Toll! X ❤️ X

[@marekl]

I agree babez. Hope you are doing well xx

[@JessieCori]

Yes!🎉 You made it to 10K subs! Well deserved, Marek! Herzlichen Glückwunsch!

[@RedshiftDougal]

Marek! I can't believe the YT algorithm hasn't put your videos in my direction before now. I'm watching after listening to RHLSTP recorded a few years ago. Your subscriber count is sitting at 9.99K today. Hoping to help push you into the 5 digits. Keep up the great stuff, cool dude.

[@marekl]

Thanks cool dude. I have been mainly been making videos on my walking channel - Cool Dudes Walking Club.

[@RedshiftDougal]

@@marekl ... and subscribed to that channel, too, now. 🎉 Am also an avid walker and like your take on life. Right, back to bingeing your back catalogue. Thank you and... ::stay cool::

[@MakeLAUGHnotWAR]

All those trees & not a single magpie or pigeon in sight, a fine painting indeed. I wonder if Mr Lampitt went for a skate & wanted to capture the moment or he just dreamed up the composition, either way, pretty fantastic.

[@marekl]

It’s a brilliant picture. All his colour palettes were excellent.

[@shaunhouse8469]

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas, Habari Gani, Happy Holidays

[@marekl]

You too cool dude

[@anthonyhatter196]

“Maximum bonjour” is a genius phrase and I will be adopting it from today. I do love these Marek, as they always gives an insight into your inner narrative. Which is worryingly close to mine at times! And every time, that same look of abject resignation as the alarm goes off is in itself, a work of art! Freeze that and paint it. More soon? CD#123

[@lolly5453]

😃 a (not-so-) mediocre masterpiece by Marek?! Best Christmas present ever! Great job, too! Thanks Marek, and happy Xmas to you ❤️🎄✨ Edit: that three Billy goats ladybird book was one of my all time favs as a kid too. 🐏👹

[@marekl]

Billy Goats Gruff still holds up 40 years later.

[@lolly5453]

@@mareklGood to know. Tho the real question is: is that troll still frightening enough to give you nightmares 40 years later?! That troll made me a little wary every time I crossed a bridge til my teens at least! 😂

[@jessmueller8300]

"Maximum bonjour" is now my favourite greeting! 👋😁

[@marekl]

I reckon it will soon catch on in France.

[@jessmueller8300]

@marekl I've been saying to my family for nearly a week now & they've asked me to "please stop!"

[@secretgardenhomestead3251]

Ohhh i've missed these videos! Haha ! Love ya Marek!

[@marekl]

Nice one. Thanks dude.

[@ZoeHeath-x8j]

Wish I could do something this good in a month!!!

[@PaintballMagazine]

Good to have you back painting, all that walking makes me tired 😂

[@marekl]

Ha. Me too!

[@grapesodatravels]

I have no idea why KZbin decided I needed to watch this but I'm glad it did! Now I have to go Google Ronald's work... I have several Ladybird books from my childhood so I wonder if he's hiding in there... Your painting is, indeed, alright! Thanks for raising money for such an important cause ❤

[@marekl]

Ronald Lampitt's stuff is excellent. I hope you find some of it online.

[@nataliebsketching]

So multilingual 😌 it’s good you didn’t say you hate (hasse) dogs I’ll have to look up Lampitt! I love learning about illustrators… also I recognise the billy goat gruff book, I think that was read to us. I remember the troll

[@marekl]

There is a man called Pete Beard on KZbin who makes ‘Unsung heroes of illustration’ videos. You probably already know this, you might have even told me about him. Ha

[@davinacaine3615]

I will have to take pics of Mini Marek in front of my art work

[@marekl]

Yes please do.

[@RobbsHomemadeLife]

Welcome back

[@marekl]

Nice one dude

[@lisaperry345]

Blimey, I'm so late to the party watching this vid. I'll be watching your last Cool dudes vid after this. You did a cracking job. 🙂 Aww those kids books brought back memories. 😊 Hope you have a cool yule.

[@gander4872]

I remember the troll! Blimey that was a while back. Your painting is very nice dude

[@marekl]

Thanks cool dude

[@JessieCori]

You're so close to 10K subs!

[@marekl]

I made it!!!!

[@JessieCori]

​@@mareklCongratulations!

[@mikethepsych2084]

Thranks. You've got the skrills 👍

[@LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

If only Bob Ross was still alive to collaborate with Marek. Our shame, of course.

[@marekl]

That would have been the dream.

[@LeeHutchingsdrumsUK]

@@marekl A dream Bob would have painted, and the whole world could have enjoyed. There would be no world hunger, problems in the Middle East, or cancel culture. Only peace, love and harmony throughout - global unity. The streets of every village, town and city would be kissed by the tears of the people whose souls Bob and Marek's art could have touched. But, alas, no. It is not to be. Merry Christmas, everyone.

[@maldaror7097]

Can you do Garden of Earthly Delights in 15 mins?

[@vanutra]

😂😂 I bloody love you! X ❤️ X

[@jadent2632]

Y'know for 15 minutes that didn't turn out too bad! Especially those shadows on the trees in the background. I might try this one myself.. With a few more minutes added lol The troll was genuinely a bit scary as a kid, now I think I may relate to him more than the goats

[@marekl]

It is a fun picture to try. You should definitely have a go.

[@norabatty1767]

Jolly good! 😊

[@philipemery7328]

Your walking has come on very well since you last did a mediocre masterpiece. Maximum bonjour and happy Christmas Marek and Cool Dudes everywhere!

[@davidotoole9328]

I haven't seen that troll since I was a child and my stomach twisted at the memory!

[@AvexFuddle]

i like it!

[@marekl]

Thanks cool dude.

[@Kit-yv7ob]

It went for 106 quid, not bad at all.

[@squalloogal]

Your inspired version is quite bleak. Nice to see you challenging yourself though. Your art on your walks has been charming. 😊
