Holy crap, she is so good and so fast! So cool to see how she bravely starts just painting the highlights over the dark background and the face comes to life immediately. No sketching or measuring. Each brushstroke is deliberate, has meaning, and helps to define the shape of a volume, very efficient.

[@MichelleMMears]

Despite what life throws at them, setbacks, and disappointments involving other people, two artists still find their own paths to creativity and fulfillment. Bravo! And brava!

[@TitusMeeuws]

🙏🙏🙏

[@armandosrd.l9610]

Thank you for this video. I really enjoyed watching the portrait process. 😊🎉❤

[@Marielouise-lq9qb]

I think it`s very important to discuss sensitive things, everyone should do so. Love the conversation and your paintings. Thank you!

[@marihart-qbc]

Very interesting exchange between two very different artists. Thank you for sharing this moment of creative intimacy.

[@JohnHarrisonArtist]

I'm so glad she is still creating art Titus after that event. I sadly grew up around inappropriate people, which left life long damage. It was again interesting to hear you both and watch your processes of painting each other. All the best, John

[@leesvision]

Much love ❤️ 🙏

[@HomeFromFarAway]

Patrick Teahan has a youtube channel that is very helpful. also Katie... I will try to remember her surname and put it here later. Early trauma and cptsd is very hard to recover from. Wishing you all the good things

[@davejones732]

wow.Suzan ...speech-less at the freedom to just 'do it' instantly...and Titus you really captured Susans essence. Thank you both.

[@jimwhysall8773]

Loved it Titus, I think your films are always great. Suzan comes over as very distant.

[@40bdg]

What a fun thing to do! Really enjoyed this session and hearing your stories, and of course, watching your painting processes. Thank you both

[@dmortelli1]

That was so much fun and interesting. I appreciate both of you for sharing that. The conversation and watching you paint together brought back some great memories of the studio during school (but more like 30 years for me). Thanks again!

[@marildetesilva1410]

Titusmeeuws!! Taking a tour of ART so incredible with you .I see , new inspirations and professional growth, thanksyou - Congratulations,admirable!!.

[@marildetesilva1410]

[@marildetesilva1410]

Wow!! ,Very good!

[@culturevulture3382]

Really rewarding to be party to this conversation. Thanks. Joe

[@toobad41]

Both of you definitely connected very well in this episode. Two artists from very different but talented backgrounds seem to come together and give us an insight into how you both work regardless of the subject matter. Than you for sharing this meeting of great artists in an interesting format. Keep it up Titus! 😍.

[@ignaciohernandez8901]

Susan has no fear and Titus captured her essence. Her studio has nice light too.

[@ginabadeaux9319]

oh how wonderful i have been looking forward to this video ,i never got the chance to go to art school ,i have learned so much from tv ,books and now more than ever you tube,thank you ,now i will go watch this,thank you i have been telling every one i can about you ,love to you and yours

[@merryfergie]

Thank you for the presentation of this interview.

[@aeastman59]

much respect to Susan for not falling for that predatory "teacher"s proposition at such a young age and for forging ahead on her own path... thank you Titus for the interview podcasts so we can meet all different kinds of people and hear their stories

[@reneerikolsen9694]

Just like in every aspect in LIFE, there are different paths to take. There are never right or wrong ways to achieve a creative expression, but just different ways to fulfill a task you set for yourself. Fascinating conversation between you and Suzan. Great video and paintings.

[@ThePattiw]

I watched this and the one with Rob and I loved it. When we are in art school there is such a feeling of community when we are painting in the studio with fellow student, and sometimes if we are lucky we share studio spaces after. I really miss painting in a studio building with other artists that I could talk to or even watch them work. These videos, especially this one with Suzan gave me that feeling again. Suzan's experience with the instructor is a common one. I am in Canada and we saw this happen quite often. With Instructors, or Gallery owners and even patrons of art who felt like they could buy us. I know it happens much more for women, but sometimes the young men were also approached in this manner. Hope to see a few more of these artists painting artists! Thank you Titus. Oh! I meant to say I thought you really captured Suzan very well. Her personality was in that painting. Her portrait of you also captured something special in your expression. The hair was a little "non-vegetarian, meat BBQ" 😃 but there was that look that is yours!!!

[@hansoletormos]

Loved this episode. Listening to you two, the life, painting… thank you, please do more❤️

[@marildetesilva1410]

Working,How are Happy Day, Very good explanation paintings admirable 👏💌🕊️👍🎁

[@leithomalley]

I love these recent shared portrait sessions. Looking over the shoulder of the artists and listening to the conversation here is so interesting. Great results on canvas and rapport!

[@kkartistscastle]

I love this world ...when you sit back and paint

[@marildetesilva1410]

👍🥰💌Very good painting congratulations admirable painting 👍🇳🇱 Titusmeeuws

[@catchip756]

Interesting to watch and listen to you both. For me it felt uncomfortable. I can not paint and hold a conversation at the same time. When I’m in the zone God help anyone who tries to enter! Great video. Thank you

[@carolineallshorn291]

They are both beautiful portraits... I studied art a long time ago, and this show made me miss working on art alongside other college students

[@sharonlovesart4985]

Thanks Titus. Suzan mentioned that she uses Auction sites to sell hee work. Did she mention which sites she uses? Thanks for your help and work!❤

[@louielouie4187]

You folks are wonderful ❤️

[@Meadiateam123]

I love that somebody else listens to the Harry Potter audio books on repeat while they paint! My life has been justified

[@michaelmcewan432]

I think that's your best portrait so far in this situation

[@nickrodis6862]

Salamat sa inyong dalawa na gumawa ng inyong larawan habang nag-uusap at nagpapalitan ng mga magagandang karanasan at kaalaman sa sining upang ipahayag ang bawat saloobin. Nick Rodis speed artist here in Tagaytay City Philippines

[@reginaraycheva6480]

Titus, I think what you did with Suzan's portrait turned out great! I find that you were changed in your portrait done by Suzan considerably (not only the vegetarian thing...). And I enjoy very much those videos.

[@marialilianaamezcuaalvarez6101]

Susana ❤ Titus ❤ Gracias !

[@marialilianaamezcuaalvarez6101]

I love that she uses AI for her models. I too have started using AI for my paintings, I see it as a collaboration. Where the AI misses the mark, I breathe life into it.

[@kathleenm3443]

How do you use AI? Gads. That is a whole new world to me.

[@TheDerangedBlood]

@@kathleenm3443 You type in a prompt, so if you have an idea...like...I don't know...type in a Moon Age Day Dream set in the void of space and time...see what it comes up with.

[@lshwadchuck5643]

AI will be the end of art. Suzan is making hay while the sun shines. As Maria says in your other session, composition, backgrounds for portraits is the hardest thing. In Suzan's previous portraits the background is clearly drawing a blank in her mind. But the heads were beautifully painted, interesting individuals. Now she paints Barbie in nightlife.

[@marypartridge5154]

She is technically good but she does not catch the soul of titus so her AI does seem to work for her. Titus gets the essence of her more. I really dont think this lady has an artist's temparent. Her painting of him does not capture his essence but as she says she paints people but is not interested in them. Perhaps this is the real reason she had no luck with the galleries. If we stop trying to capture the essence of a person we might as well take a photograph. Sadly the world is becoming narcissistic without knowing what this means and we are getting paintings from them. All technical but lacking soul. Titus got the essence of this woman. She is working I feel on her own conflict she has as a female. Beautiful interview and glad to know that there is art out there more than online.

[@lshwadchuck5643]

I agree. She's a proficient illustrator, rendering people quickly is a major skill. But pre-AI her heads (of real, interesting individuals) were lost in white space and weird flat graphics. Now AI gives her Barbie in a Toulouse Lautrec night scene.

[@minniezheng9702]

两个＂模特＂形象极好，但两幅画作没有抓到两人的特点加以突出强调表现，一是造型，二是色调，在造型方面，男画家的画作较为好，但可惜的是在女模特脸中部的阴影色彩过重，破坏了脸部的整体感，女画家在男模特脸部捉不住他的特征（本来他没特征在脸部，除了那胡子），真正的特点是他的头发，但女画家却放弃了这部分。作为不是采用很传统式手法的肖像油画，在造型上男画家的表现较好，但在色彩上，两幅画作的色彩都显得苍白，不够丰富，当然这是我个人的感觉，代表不了两位画家的想法。🌷

[@1Glitterado]

How can he jabber on and focus on the vibe of the task. She must feel crowded with his chatter…

[@mychelledavis]

Titus, there is a light inside you that brings forth beauty and optimism and definitely distinguishes you from other artists. Thank you!

[@carollutton3340]

Thank you for this Titus we loved it, please do more of this artists 🧑‍🎨 painting artists it was so interesting listening to your conversation and seeing the paintings in progress .😊

[@sandradonofrio413]

I will watch this again because I was thrown off track by comments about instructors. So much the same old story. I was never propositioned in art school but as a fine arts major there were other humiliations. I was called arrogant and insolent and lacking humility because I asked for a change from a teacher I disliked to an extra drawing course with a live model. So it went fifty years ago. So, once my recollections disappeared I was able to enjoy this very much. Thank you Titus. Watching you paint is an honor. Beautiful portrait.

[@katella]

They were brave to open themselves up in this way. Fascinating for us though. I had many questions along the way.

[@jhesterarts]

One of the best artist painting artist so far.

[@TitusMeeuws]

[@Seawing-v5d]

I'd love to know what online venue Suzan uses for her auctions.

[@kamallochansharma6682]

Most wannabes think AI can generate good art for them. It's the difference between a real artist and a wannabe. The real artist has all the skills of painting and uses AI as a tool for enhancement, and not the foundation of their painting. As we can all see Susan here is a very much accomplished artist, having the capacity to paint a person straight then and there from life. It implies that Susan has been through the process of fine arts, learnt it and practised it to perfection, the nuances of light and shadow, the nooks and crannies of a human face, the paints and of course, the idea of presentation. Most wannabes will buy some art supplies, open a channel on social media, and do a gibberish of an attempt to paint something, fail horribly and call it abstract art. They talk a lot, a lot about emotions, their personal stories, struggles and whatnot. They might be successful in getting a ton of likes and comments, and maybe even earn in that process from monetisation, but they fail to make as an artist and their paintings are not taken seriously by any critique or art galleries.

[@jacquarel]

I was full of admiration for how she painted your portrait from a dark background. Your work also ended in a well-like portrait. Wonderful to have seen this.

[@marildetesilva1410]

"Congratulations admirable your Works, thanksyou Titus Meeuws painter

[@rutbrea8796]

This is really art and artists to me!! Wonderful work you both have done for each other! Bravo!!!

[@judiburnett6527]

I love the conversation. About galleries, selling watching other artists; ways of working, as an artist it’s wonderful to know that I’m not weird!!!

[@TitusMeeuws]

No, you’re not weird

[@marildetesilva1410]

Okay!! Very much details beautiful Works 👍🥰💌🌿

[@DG-mv6zw]

Like Chuck close once said: "Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work." Wise and encouraging advice that helps lesser mortals like me. Probably my favourite past time is to watch artists painting . Maybe I should actually be spending more time creating art rather than watching others create art. It's the curse of procrastination I suppose.

[@ninner196]

It was a true delight to see both of your paintings! Both were very unique. I admire the technique of pushing one’s imagination in art, obviously that is why knowledge of a variety of media helps in other areas. Experiences can shape our response but look at despite the despicable situation that occurred how both of you flourished! If it isn’t outright disrespect of another’s craft it’s downright sexual harassment. I always observed the difference working in the medical field how men treat women or just topics that have no business being discussed when dealing with other people’s lives and then on top of dealing with outrageous perversion. Yes some doctors and nurses do scare emotionally their colleagues and patients. I was abused by a colleague when physically ill in the hospital and if that occurs, call an outside lawyer first and do not deal with whatever institution it may be. Medical and nursing schools warn how everyone can be coerced into ruining the reputation of an innocent person. They cover it up then try to prevent one from getting their records and make ridiculous accusations and pull in other useless “professionals” who engage in the same practices to try to shut up the innocent. Please do not leave any loved one alone in any medical setting including overnight. This doesn’t even cover tempers of surgeons who throw body fluids at nurses and have been physically assaulted. Please forgive me for my rant but I witnessed all these things including ones purposefully trying to snuff out the lives of ones who are defenseless. The illness of this world is of the heart and what one feeds their mind on. No laws can change people’s hearts. I feel for both of you and thank you for your facial renditions as I thoroughly enjoy it likewise and always will to the extent I can physically hold a brush and have enough vision to do so. It was very emotionally moving. Thank you!😊

[@startpage717]

11:32 Thank you. I wonder how to paint and talk, but at the time given, they seem to stop.LOL, "Gallery Allergy" like that...

[@jvkarts]

Listening to her story re: the “gallery allergy” no wonder she doesn’t like real people in her studio or to paint from life in general. I can see this coldness/ stand off ish towards people in her work, in my opinion. Still so happy she managed to not be turned off painting and found her path.Titus l think you are one of the privileged few perhaps. I feel angry 😡 this is still happening throughout everywhere in this day and age.

[@edinak5805]

Don't worry, most of the artists suffer from "gallery-allergy" 😀

[@MrPhotodoc]

Interesting discussion, wonderful paintings, pleasant people. What else can you ask for? Thank you! Subbed.

[@donnabuttons1]

I'm sad about the members only new thing. I am working hard to make ends meet here in UK and sadly yet another financial outgoing is beyond me. I just hope you continue to produce the same quality of weekly video that I've enjoyed so much up till now. If you change the free weekly videos, I shall accept your decision and be thankful for all you've done. I appreciate you need to make a living too. 🙏😊

[@TitusMeeuws]

No worries Donna. You will find the weekly videos! The member section is extra content

[@nafizrashid5365]

Two powerful and independent individuals. Loved the job. Susan was an accurate portrait by Titus. And Suzan shows her strength through her painting. ❤

Thank you guys for the video! I really enjoyed watching the portrait process ! 😊🎉❤

[@sippingsun]

I love that Suzan uses AI to help generate the models for her paintings. It demonstrates a powerful, light-filled way to use a tool that has been so demonized by many artists/writers. A wonderful video-my introduction to both of you 🙏🏼

[@ModArtQuilt]

Beautiful interview

[@garthly]

This was interesting. Your paintings were both good. Suzan obviously generates stories - that came out in your great image of the barbecue guy, that might even chop wood. Yours had nice concentrated essence to it. Great fun.

[@lauralaladarling3775]

Suzan S is a wonderful and marvellous artist. I love her work; the girls in c. 19th dress are stunning and two others; how fortunate are we to see this fabulous artwork. I enjoyed Suzan's witty irony and repartee. Titus is great although more serious. Loved her painting of Titus, the colour pallette, broad strokes and pallette knife techniques. Not quite so sure of the portrait of Suzan; I couldn't get past the shadow blobs under and on the right side of her nose or the muddy purple shadow on the left side of her face. What I thought remarkable as well is that the portrait of Titus's head and hair is huge and Suzan's portrait tiny...interesting. Thank you both for sharing such fascinating conversations of the life of two artists. ❤❤❤ Awful to hear of that gallery owner brute you were subjected to in your early 20's, it makes me feel sick. ❤❤❤

[@MrPhotodoc]

Schuttelarr is the name of a Dutch candy company too. Relations maybe?

[@TitusMeeuws]

I thought so yes, but I have to ask her

[@robtennapel78]

Great stuff

[@jumanas4012]

Amazing

[@lilliann3705]

Really enjoyed this segment so much. The interpretations of each other in these portraits was wonderful and skillful. Of course being an 80 yr young artist, I related to the recounting of her negative experiences-I have encountered many “jerks” in my long life: instructors, attorneys and even physicians and had to, in my earlier years, deal with it. Things never really change. Regarding art school-I had a mixed experience and noticed many instructors were more interested in you painting, etc. in their style and even as you became more senior at school, you were not encouraged in pursuing your own style. I still work in my own way but selling art here in the Pacific NW of the States is extremely difficult. People here generally do not support artists. Keep up the great work you are doing with these interesting portrait exchanges; they are so enjoyable.

[@nikinik5620]

First video I've seen and I learned so much about painting. As you walked into the studio I was in awe of the inspiration it engendered in me. Thank you.

[@Cmdtheartist]

First, I really enjoy the pressure free conversation you two are having, despite her misanthropy and how you virtually kicked in her studio door. To hear two artists casually tell it like it is while working. Second, she made you look like a thinner Hagrid. It's all that Harry Potter ASMR she listens to.

[@Gibfenez]

Wow, Susan is magnificent in her art and as a person. Titus, thank you for this moment. Peace , love and success in art to you both.

[@PrisReyes-qo4hz]

This episode was awesome. She’s fantastic, honest and herself, which I love. It is “good” to know that the artistic world is very much the same everywhere. Thanks for this… it was enlightening.

[@melaniehellum1281]

That was really interesting . I can listen to star trek next generation over and over . Find it comforting. I paint mostly landscapes.

[@ojeojeojeohe]

i did really like how fast and direct you both came to a first "likeness" in this Video

[@TitusMeeuws]

Thanks 🙏

[@judihopewell2499]

Very helpful demonstration of how artists trained the same have developed differing modus operandii . Conversation with models definitely adds to the artist;s perception of the model and informs the work.

[@ltwig476]

I'm a bit like Susan, I like staying in my studio alone while painting. I'm not anti-social at all. I can talk for hrs over tea. I don't care to discuss my work or others with their work. I like discussing art itself as just art not techniques, more so emotions. I agree with Susan's idea of using AI as a tool for generating ideas. It is still your personal art, makes no difference where ideas come from. I think the internet has made it more possible for artist to make a good living while not having to deal with the oligarchs of the art world. Before it was like gallery or starve. So much can be said about social media's ability not dealing with middlemen and promotors taking profits from folks hard work in almost everything people do.

[@chuckeelhart1746]

It surprises me that, even as an artist, you cannot except an honest portrait of your self? You clearly think that you are depicted as fat barbeque eating suburbanite? Suzanexcepts your portrait of her as being serious, but also correct. I have painted mini portraits and almost universally, the subject does not really like them picture but those who know that person think it is accurate . apparently, none of us are completely comfortable with what our resting face looks like.

[@Vatche-o7g]

I had a female teacher , and the opposite scenario happened to me, she said " you have do something special to pass" .. to this day I regret not taking her up on her offer.

[@HomeFromFarAway]

we artists need to be less afraid of the art schools and galleries. It is a sick, predatory industry and we are the prey

[@incognito3620]

The model is not the point of her painting. It is the narrative of the her story. The model is the vehicle she uses to tell her story. I would need to see more of her work. I would also like to know if she is “ copying “ an A.I image to paint or is she using them as reference to express her ideas. As I listen she about telling women’s stories.

[@scooter2163]

Beautiful work you two! Thanks for sharing and talking about it.

[@ThomasJojo]

How can u see pain etc in a painting ?

[@DanWalterTradeview]

very nice, very enjoyable, brings back memories

[@tiwantiwaabibiman2603]

As an artist, I'm curious to know how long was this portrait painting, conversation, reconnection session? It was obviously longer than the video length... Thanx!!!

[@TitusMeeuws]

I think we have been working 1,5 maybe 2 hours. But with placing the camera's, easels and so on it took half a day

[@canonik55-19]

Great video! I'm curious what platform she uses that enables her to sell her work..Does anyone know? Cheers!

Hi, Suzan uses Catawiki.

[@Wal48]

This was really interesting, watching both of you paint and also very interesting to hear the artists story/journey. Thank you for these videos, this is the only thing on KZbin I currently watch where I feel totally engaged and don’t want it to end!

Thank you!

[@moadeeb2002]
