Dear dearest Old guy I would like to hug you tight! Your words really made me so happy! I'm self-taught and my teachers are the artists like you on KZfaq. I try to learn the techniques. I love looking at the works of artists of yesterday and today. I don't think I have my own style, but now with your words you have given me confidence. Thank you very much. A warm greeting from Italy 🇮🇹🌹🌹🌹 P. S. I love your paintings very much

This is the painting video I’ve been searching for. 🙏🏽🌹

THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO! we all need the reminder to stop stressing, stop overthinking, and just put the paint on the surface! thank you

I’m 67 and I just started painting this year. Your 5 steps are very encouraging as I try to discover my personal style.

I’m in the process of finding my own style and developing my skill. When I stop and look at my paintings I realize I already have a style, I see it in every one. Now I just need to practice and do more. Love this video, and your paintings are fantastic! Thank you for posting.

You so inspire I have been painting since I was five years old. Aunt ANN was my mentor. I am now 70+ and I’m still learning have my own gallery and have earned a living throughout my life. It’s not an easy life and there’s lots of rejection! Most important keep painting or whatever the medium is you’re using don’t be afraid to change.

Your teaching style is wonderful, clear, and joyful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience. It is much appreciated!

I can’t tell you how happy I am that I came across your video. Thank you!

Not only do I find your advice and thoughts interesting but I share your vids with non painting friends in other creative pursuits. Thank you for taking the time to make these, time that you could easily spend on something, someone else but instead you’re investing your time in all of us!

I needed to see this. Someone asked me, “where do you get your ideas to paint?”. I said, I look at other art and pictures from the internet and that inspires me to paint something. It is like I guess, making music. The notes are there and everyone uses them. You just make your own song.

Thank you so much. You have confirmed everything I have been thinking over the past few months. For years I wouldn't paint flowers for very much the same reasons you gave in the video. A couple of months ago, inspired by a family members flowers I decided to paint them and haven't stopped since. They are such a joyful subject. I am at the stage where my main desire is to make the painting i am working on better. I am learning lots and starting to develop my own process. Most of all I am loving painting (most of the time anyway!!!!) Gradually I am starting to see my own style emerge - to other artists out there keep painting and do be brave - good things will happen!

I love your works. Thank you for sharing your ideas on how to be a better painter. It inspires me to go on and believe on myself as an artist. I Love you.

I’m so grateful to you as at the right time I found your video. I’m a self taught painter and haven’t been much time into it. I’m still exploring to what I like and what I can do. I’d started to get some doubts but after watching this video I’ve gathered my courage again to make mistakes and learn. Thank you so much for such a wonderful video.

I don't know if it will be my style, but your paintings are the best on the internet in my opinion. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

I love all your work. Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

I love that you show your work whilst talking 👏

Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences, insights and advice.

I love your honest humility regarding the steps and your struggles, you’re not afraid to admit sometimes have been hard and at times your work wasn’t good. I adore the style you have now, its bright colours are gorgeous. Thank you so much for you advice, I try to incorporate it into my work. Much respect 🙏🏼

Love your story telling! Humor is the best way to approach anything! Even flowers. 😉

Thank you, one for the sharing of your journey, two for the thoughtfulness of your reflection, and three for the vulnerability of your process. As I move from full time semantic worker to artist, I have been struggling with converting from feeling masterful to vulnerable. I can classify with the best of them, but is that line too thick, too orange… grrr. Thank you for the encouragement (even though you don’t know me) and the wack on the side of the head. You changed my perspective, now it is up to me to see what I can do with that!

I love this: “Renoir already did it.” Thank you for encouraging such freedom!

Your art is outstanding! Thank you for setting the artist up for success. I do find letting go, taking risks, ring patient and listening to your insights help to take the next step.

Thank you, just what I needed, a pep talk! Time to get back to the paint and brushes and use your encouraging words. ❤

Old Guy-YOU ARE AWESOME!! THANK YOU❣️

Picasso said, "I believe in inspiration, but it must find you working." Meaning of course, don't wait around for inspiration to strike to motivate you to begin work. It will never arrive. Just get to work. Inspiration will find YOU. It happens in the doing of it. If you keep that thought in mind, it will help you get off your backside and go to work.

Excellent lessons we all must remember as either a new or seasoned artists. Thank you!

Great advice, thanks for sharing your words of wisdom through your years of knowledge and experience. Most helpful ❤

I love your videos. Thank you for what you said about painting flowers. I stopped painting them too for the same reasons as you. I miss them. They bring me joy when I paint them. I think I will do a whole series of flower paintings now! 😊

Some of your work are sooo beautiful w the colors abstracts

This video is absolutely inspirational and instructive. Thank you so much for sharing your sage advice and your growth.

Very interesting video, thanks very much. I've been painting my whole life (on and off) and it brings great joy. I really like many of your paintings but the single image that captivated me the most was your granddaughter's painting of the family and when you zoomed in to her painting of you. It's great to see how a child views you and she did a really good job.

You and Paul Klee are my favorite abstract artists ❤

Great advice! I really appreciate hearing these ideas reinforced. I so love your style and work. Thank you for sharing!

You are the best teacher! Pls make more videos! Tks a lot from Brazil!

Thank you so much for the encouragement. It's a very difficult path filled with self doubt. But yes courage always pushes me to keep trying.

I look forward to your videos, and am always inspired. Thanks so much!

Hello I'm from India, Im an artist and is desperate to develope my own style. I have been painting from my childhood , i can see the change in my work. But as you said, one feels i can do better. I got the advice what I needed at this time of my life. It was almost like you were reading my mind, and answered all my questions. Thank you for sharing your experience. It was very helpful. I wish you all the best. Will be looking forward to hear you again. Thank you

Thank you for sharing your artistic experiences and insights! God bless.

That’s very encouraging, thanks Mr. Old guy. But they are all good advice and very real in the art journey.

Thank you so much for the inspiration. I am a new painter and sometimes I really don’t like my painting but now, I will go back and look at them with a new thought process of how I can make them better. ❤

Wow! Best video I’ve seen in a while! This is a definite re-watch! Thank you for sharing your wonderful wisdom and absolutely beautiful art!

Thank you my dearest Old Guy. Your tutorial as always is very inspiring. I truly treasure your advice. I hope you keep coming to my screen bringing all the knowledge and guidance to me as an emerging artist who is still finding my style. I often have that kind of question when I was inspired by another artist’s work ‘inspired by or copying?’ Your video helped me rethink my approach 🙏💖🌻

You are a star brother :-). "Be yourself, everyone else is already taken" Love your video :-)

Your words are truly inspiring. Thank you very much 🤗

Thank you so much for putting the time and effort into producing this wonderfully helpful video. I loved every minute. And much gratitude for all the examples peppered throughout the video.

Thank you. Very impressive and encouraging. I am saving this so I can use it to remind myself.. ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for this timely advice. As a new painter, I have not yet figured out my style. I love very geometric designs with bold colors, but I also love softer, more organic designs so I have tried both. It's a mood thing, I think. I enjoy switching it up and experimenting. Keep the videos coming!❤

I salute you for this courageous video ❤️

this was a wonderful lecture.

Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom. Your paintings are beautiful. Have a great day.😊

Such an excellent presentation and 5 Keys are straightforward and so needed! Thank you!

I enjoyed this tremendously! Thank you!

Tack Henrik för dina intressanta och inspirerande videos. Jag har länge funderat på vad som är min stil, men aldrig vad som är min process. Nu har jag reflekterat över hur jag arbetar när jag skapar min konst och det är verkligen intressant att se. Oavsett om jag varierar mina motiv blir det en speciell stil på målningarna om jag håller mig till det arbetssätt jag gillar. Tack för nya insikter😀 Christina
