Hi

[@madkarma2248]

I had a class where we talked Michelangelo and how he had to paint the Sistine chapel ceiling on his back. For my assignment in that class we taped a paper to the bottom of our desks and had to draw. It was really hard and it would be a fun video idea to see you do something like that. Like try painting upside down to get the real Michelangelo experience.

[@kalinaszek]

He could paint ceiling of one of rooms

[@m105chelle]

Cool idea!

[@Benji-il7wv]

@@kalinaszek Yeah!

[@RSpudieD]

I like your thinking! It'd be fun to watch as well as I'm genuinely curious how tough/ fun it'd be!

[@4Rgames]

He did paint upside down once

[@SamanthaAndersonArtist]

I've seen people put super thick paint in piping bags and use frosting tips to create an array of flowers, let them dry (for like, a week) and then put it all together to create a 3D Bouquet or other paintings. Would LOVE to see you try that!

[@BelindaShort]

I wish that he would just watch some tutorials for things and give other artists that he gets these ideas from a little credit. He sees this stuff being made elsewhere and then he decides he wants to figure it out, not learning about it first, and playing around, which is valid, but also I wish he'd learn a bit from others and then share what he learned and credit them. This particular style isn't as big of a deal but sometimes he's working with really complicated stuff that others have spent years perfecting.

[@GenesisMoodie]

That seems pretty cool!

[@moonbeamstry5321]

Fantastic idea!! Heck, has Jazza ever tried decorating a cake? I'd love to see him do something more traditional and a hyper realistic cake.

[@fromash5289]

@@BelindaShort What credit is there to give exactly? The first impasto painters of the 1400's? It's ridiculous to think you have to credit someone jumping in on (or even starting a trend) a style that's been around for centuries, which spoiler alert, is most of art. As for him actually educating himself a bit before making a practice session into a full on video, I actually dislike most of his content lately for the sake of the craft. Most of it has been looking incredibly rushed and sloppy as of late, but I also understand that the video production is his business. Dude's got his family and his employees families to worry about. Expecting him to spend weeks or simply even days off camera learning a new technique is incredibly unrealistic.

[@georgiakennedy2287]

[@MangoJet408]

When you try to do abstract art, it's not that it is bad, you just don't have much variety. You always tend to go the same direction, try going all sorts of directions and bring in even more textures and movement by using different types of brushes and spatulas. Even scraping away some of the paint that you already put down can leave an interesting effect, especially if you're using a thicker medium. You know how to use negative and positive space, that is something that also can really work well in your favor. These are tips that my college professor gave me when I was dealing with the same kind of problem. My favorite is abstract expressionism, if you look at it, there is so much depth to all the movement within the painting. If you see this then I hope it helps.

[@king_kyojuro651]

Said like a poet.

[@ciaociara]

Thanks for the tips!

[@Simos719]

Yeah, I agree, (also a look to modernism[history of Art, even suprematism, and constructivism ] will help to understand what are the basic of abstract art, and make it more clear and easy to understand)

[@KitKatWiffleBallBat]

You're awesome, Kaylea! Thank you so much for recognizing what seemed amiss and for providing a solution to that minor problem as well. I literally just learned that abstract expressionism is literally what I do for warm ups before I start painting and drawing.

[@Ixarus6713]

I think a big issue is Jazza wants a subject, but abstract art generally has no subject, the art itself is the subject. Aka, using it to build backgrounds and subjects works, but a lot of abstract art is directionless or disturbed formations, not a cool background with a subject in the foreground like he seems to prefer.

[@Lady.MdNght]

I love that he says, "Idk what I'm doing" but made an amazing warrior in fire... Love it Jazza... LOVE IT!!!

[@sparkypi]

"Maybe I need to go bigger?" This is the question that has haunted this channel since the day it was born... and it's the reason we have the beautifully spectacular mess of a channel we have today. Never change, Jazza. Never change.

[@DarkeAOU]

The red-to-yellow canvas makes me think of dragon scales, which is what makes it my favorite. That, and the colors being great. Honestly surprised you didn't draw a dragon, as cool as the medium was.

[@lazyfoxplays8503]

Abstract art is all about one big thing: Capturing an emotion or feeling. Doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you look at the piece and feel a complete or specific feeling, then you nailed it!

[@kirbthebean]

Perfectly said

[@palindromee]

I think the middle one worked because you weren't trying to draw a picture as such, both the first and last one had an object that could have been easily replaced with normal paint and look just as good (if not better). Would be great to see you go really abstract and embrace some elements of your mop and drip paintings!

[@adamgtrap]

I'm not an artist and also have no idea what you're doing. But I really liked the modelling paste version, looks like icing. My limited "art experience" is simple doodles with lines, knitting, or cake decorating (which I've had the most fun with but don't have an oven in my current home).

[@katnance6155]

@frootie thanks dear, oops i should change my words in regards that..! thanks for reminder!

[@janemorrow6672]

What I really like about your approach is that you use a Play-Experiment-Create approach when you are trying new things. A lot of people confuse the play and experiment bits of the process and they are actually very different.

[@austino2763]

I loved each one for different reasons, The persona of what you described as a soldier was very edgy, serious, moody, and delivers a clear emotion along with a satisfying texture and color palette. As a fan of art and a creator of art who doesnt love a good gradient? the Texture and matte finish it had with those THICC gloops looked great. Lastly the Abstract bird, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and my favorite way to observe art is to see it next to the artists other paintings, it gives perspective into the person who created the pieces and allows for better appreciation of all the pieces. Loved it. Thanks for always giving your all Jazza & thank you to all the team members that make the videos happen :)

[@Luminty99]

It's mind blowing to me how you can mix so much white into a little bit of paint and it still keeps its color. How

[@BillCiphersArtist]

Since white is a tint it can only lighten something wrather then over take it like other colors xan because other colors have shade in it which is why mixing just a little black will darken something extremely and can overtake the color

[@laurfincher8137]

the reason professional paints are expensive is because they have more pigment in them. Lots of pigment is key and that is why the professionals use high quality paints.

[@TAmberTaylorStudio]

It also depends on how opaque your white paint is.

[@tymondabrowski12]

That's why there are usually two kinds of white for all or almost all artist professional paints: one is Zinc white, more transparent, and tge other is Titanium White, which us more opaque. It's the pigment being more opaque, not just the end product. The Zinc white is often called "mixing white" because it's more useful in mixing. I would assume the impasto medium is relatively transparent on its own.

[@tasneemrossenkhan8941]

One helpful way to practice impasto is to do some warm ups before you create (take the tool you are using and swatch some textures and and stokes before you do the final piece) I find that, like with drawing, if you warm up your hand and wrist beforehand it makes it easier to do impasto. Tip #2 if you are working with chunkier or more detailed pieces let it dry a bit then add make more strokes the paint paste will hold its shape better. Tip #3 if you have the problem with the cheap paints (lightening of the pigment) I know some artists that paint on top of the paste after its dry then you get a richer colour on a budget.. Try them out and hopefully they will be helpful to those who want to try

[@Lum1narae]

Jazza + Bob Ross voice + painting knife = ultimate satisfaction

[@swing9799]

[@Grace-j8i]

You can also paint on the impasto in its original form and paint over it with your paints after! havn't finished the vid yet so maybe you did but if not, that's my preferred way of using it :)

[@bludaizee24]

I like the orange painting best with light on top. It looks like kinda like feathers. A big impasto rising Phoenix would be awesome!💛🧡❤

[@PKMNmastercass]

You can use impasto in oil paint with icing bags and cake piping tips to get some cool effects

[@lynxone9434]

Garreth is like that one side character in a TV show that everyone loves but doesn't get much screen time

[@humancmplx2449]

One thing that helps me with abstract concepts is to picture the final image/work in front of a massive, plain wall. How is it going to look in a blank space (light or dark)? Or how would it look in a crowded room? On a crowded wall. The work itself may be great, or bad, but the context of its placement might strengthen it after or influence the ideas before, when conceptualizing it.

[@c.m.9369]

I love the portrait! That looks amazing, frankly!

[@austinsinger7565]

Jazza your pieces came out totally fine. I know you're not use to abstract but your 'bird' one is definitely abstract. You created a mood, which is most important for abstract. Your yellow to red one look like a crowd of people to me. And I love your portrait one!

[@miriamkatz925]

the portrait you made looks awesome!! I'm more into surrealism rather than abstract myself, but I have a friend who creates really magnificent abstract art. And I think she would agree that you nailed that warrior portrait!

[@willowthewisperer]

I'd be interested in the drying time of all of these and also how they hold up over time!

[@JewelOfThe7Seas]

This is great! As epic and awesome as the recent videos have been, I've missed just seeing Jazza talking to the camera and being there with him as he "mucks around" with stuff and tries new things - being there with him at the table for the process. Love it! Thanks, Jazza! Also- I love the warrior in the fire. It prompts me to want to write about him. What's his story? What has brought him to this moment? Is this a moment of defeat or just after a hard-won and costly victory? So good!

[@kobrazzz]

Hey Jazza! There is another really cool way to paint. Try these things called paint pours. Mix acrylic paint with glue( eyeball it) and add a little water and a few drops of silicon. Then pour onto the canvas and let it dry for a long time. Pouring with the canvas flat is the best way. It comes out really cool!

[@i_prefer_the_term_antihero]

I would love to see him try to make the same art (something simple and repeatable) with all the different mediums to really compare them! Great video!! Yes, it was super satisfying :D

[@ultramarinebluu254]

I read something bout modeling paste that they are not to be mixed with paints but rather are applied directly in a gessoed canvas, shape em by the texture you want to achieve, let it dry, and sand it after if necessary. After all of it, you can lay your paints there. Modeling paste truly lightens your paint if you mix em.

[@AlucardRawks]

So I think that maybe you're being too tight and refined. Impasto is more of a suggestion of subject and overworking is so easy to do. Maybe try giving yourself an extremely limited time to do a canvas, like a minute or two to force yourself to only do the most basic shapes and rely on texture, hue, and tone to convey the subject and to limit dangers of overworking as you can't work on one area for long.

My favorite is still wet on wet oils, ala, Bob Ross/Bill Alexander. The nuance needed to master it takes time but it is so enjoyable to lay down a beautiful landscape in minutes vs days. I do love adding depth to more traditional paintings and having so many little details to bring a piece together but from a fun and enjoyable style, the wet on wet wins it for me. Probably because I don't really like all the abstract as much. Just tossing around colors probably is pretty satisfying ;)

[@hrpdrp97]

From what I have experienced, abstract comes from having fun and constantly playing with the medium and adjusting until you look at it and think anything more will ruin it, you basically just need to start with some colors you like, and not thing, just do, and you can creat some cool abstract pieces, the best are ones that start as nothing, but then you start to see something in it so you bring it out just a bit more so others can see it too.
