When people have asked me over the years "how to I develop my style?"...I answer do what you love doing and your style will find you. Most people want to see the love you have for the subject matter or how you interrupt it. Inevitably that love will show and becomes distinctly your own. I should add that I've been mostly a commercial Fantasy artist for 40 yrs...so working from your imagination and photo references is part of that process.

Stefan Baumannm you are a truly marvelous teacher. You get to the heart and soul of art - why we, as artists, want to create it and how to ensure that we are communicating through it. As a young man, some 45 years ago, I attended a very prestigious art school in the Midwest. But it was very frustrating, because I was taught almost nothing about style and technique. I learned so little, in fact, that I decided to pursue a completely different field of work. Now retired, I'm picking up my pastels again, and learning to be the artist I was meant to be. And although you are an oil painter, the way you approach your subject has taught me so much more than I ever thought possible. Thank you for giving me the incentive to find my creative self once again.

"Do more to it! Do more to it!" Funny, I go down that rabbit hole too. The great artist knows how far down the hole to go and when to stop. Being able to figure out how much is is the right amount for what you want to convey, because in the end, what you put on the canvas, is your story, your painting style.

You are the very first person to explain what a person’s style is that actually made sense to me! Your words about what happens when the brush touches the canvas being that person’s style was an absolute Ah Ha! Moment for me. I can’t thank you enough. I have really been stuck trying to figure out what kind of paintings that I create make me my own favorite artist. I have been struggling so much lately, arguing with myself even, because I so badly want to create loose paintings, yet, when I start painting, I always end up getting caught up in the details of whatever it is I am painting at the time. I will tell myself over and over to loosen up, but then I end up going from just a suggestion of the subject to making sure I didn’t leave out any details. It’s hard to explain, but it’s almost like there is a war going on between my brain, my brush strokes, and my internal dialogue, if that makes sense? Anyways, thank you so much for another truly awesome lesson. I hope that you and yours have a safe, Happy Fourth of July Holiday, full of happiness, love, and laughter. Much Love and Respect from North Carolina, Stacy

Great vid again but Monet did paint his lillyponds outdoors. It was literally "out of doors" though, right on his own estate, he obviously didn't travel with those canvases. You are right however in that Monet painted many indoor stillifes from 78 to 82.

I'm pretty sure the Winsor Newton stuff isn't very lightfast or archival. Might I recommend M. Graham, out of Hubbard, OR? They use walnut oil, so it mitigates the yellowing you get from linseed oil.

Thanks again! I start out intending to paint more realistic color wise, but often end up getting very colorful:) I ask myself - is this my style, or do I need to fix something. I repainted one painting because I knew I needed different color tones if it was going to work in one of the ubiquitous gray and white home interiors that are so popular now. Opened an Etsy shop - small steps. When I have the money I want some coaching. Sort of a Catch 22 - need the money for the coaching but might need the coaching before I can make any sales:)

That's What i mean if they have to ask .
@gspurlock11185 жыл бұрын
If they have to ask, it's not about you or your art, it's about them. Listen to conversations around you carefully and count the number of people who express their own ideas and those who merely discuss other people's ideas. Next time someone asks you that, tell them it's supposed to mean different things to different people. Then ask them what it means to them. They don't want to be wrong. Set them up to be right, then listen. You just might be amazed. I was recently the featured artist at a small art show at an artists' co-op. My demonstration piece was a still life with a shoe, a gun and a clock. Boy did that set them off. I was fascinated listening to all of the theories of the significance of the clock. I guess the gun and shoe were self-explanatory here in Texas, but that clock got them thinking. I was sitting right there and no one asked me, so I kept my trap shut. The clock was actually there because I needed something of that height to balance the composition and it was the first thing I found that met the need. Just nuts and bolts. But they are artists, they think very independently and creatively. They had fun with the concept but don't need my art. The guy or gal who has to ask is the person who needs your art. Art is to inspire, not to inform. If they're asking, it's working. . .it makes them care ;) Oh, and Stefan is my coach and I've made more progress under his guidance in a month than in the entire preceding year trying to sort things out on my own.

I needed to watch this again to help me clarify the temperatures of colors for painting purposes. Re: complementary colors applied next to each other: "Oh yah, makes it pop! But the mental effect, do you want people to slap you because you created it?" LOL!! "If you want light to be pure it's gotta be pure", hmmmm, not sure how to achieve that with paint. Should it be warm then?

If you want a more intense light you will have go up the the electromagnetic spectrum, meaning the hotter things get (if the object absorbs a lot of heat that is) the bluer they get (I dont use the classic color wheel to paint anymore, I think about the object that I will paint and how it absorbs and reflects light)
