Cada x tiempo cuando estoy perdido en mi camino como pintor vuelvo aquí y realmente solo puedo agradeceros todo lo que habéis hecho. Muchas veces soy bastante estupido y me contamino por todo el ambiente competitivo y de autoengaño del mundo del arte y pierdo el foco de que es lo que quiero hacer como pintor y sin ninguna duda tus enseñanzas que transcienden los aspectos técnicos más superficiales me ayudan a recuperar el norte. En definitiva, has sido la persona de la que mas he aprendido sobre lo que es la pintura. Mil gracias por haber sido mi mayor maestro sin haberte podido conocer siquiera!

Sorry , Jar with Honey!

I like this painting , its look great, please can be paint jaw with Honey , thanks

Muy bueno! La imagen de referencia está en algún lado?

This is very beautiful and inspiring. Thank you!

The arts are not the pretty but irrelevant bits around the border of reality. They are the highways into the center of a reality which cannot be glimpsed, let alone grasped, any other way. - N T Wright Nice painting BTW.

What medium did you use?

Beautiful, beautiful piece of work👌really fascinating hearing you talk about Caravaggio 👌👌👍

Beautiful painting and great talk 👌👍

Same here, I always do it, it happens automatically. I didn't realise at first though, but then I realised it was subconscious.

you made him look like a black person, because of the lips mostly

The way you creep up onto the major shapes to the small form with a right value is crazy amazing

Just wow!! Totally enjoyed your video today and your wisdom along with it! Lovely painting

I still praise the day i found your channel here! For the paintings, the talks and the subject and challenges...to openly talk about the use of animals for brushes and glue( poor rabbits😢) but that's probably the only thing they had back in the day, it's a great thing people get the awareness how these animals suffer for our luxerly and advantage...( maybe we should try it with human hair eqsy to cut, painless, etc...why didnt they tryed that?)...it's a very sad thing...and IF we have such products it's our task to make something superbeautyful with and sell it and donate the profit to protect these animals and stop this terror.❤😢 Stunning work Nicolas!❤❤❤

I love Kouta Sasai’s paintings and drawings! Thank you for the talk. Haven’t tuned in in a long time to Painted Lives. I’m getting back to painting after 2 year block. I too love Soutine & Auerbach !

It is weird to talk about Caravaggio and not use his technique in a video

A while ago I hurt my left scapula from a combination of training without a proper warm-up, and drawing 6-8 hours a day for several days with terrible posture. I spent about 3 months without being able to draw for 30 minutes straight without my back starting to hurt, and I had the idea, just like in this video, to start drawing with my non-dominant hand. It was incredible that it didn't matter how much knowledge I had regarding the fundamentals of drawing. There is a part that has to do with repetition day after day, in which small muscles that run from the shoulder to the wrist get used to making precise movements until they become second nature. It is wonderful. Nowadays I maintain the habit of drawing traditionally with my non-dominant hand, or even with both hands, while digital, which is where I do my college work, is still done by my dominant hand.

Oh Nicolas...you woke someting up man...i had a very troubled relation with my father, i can't even call him a dad...he was a drunk agressive man. I still could'nt really grieve about him...he died 6 years or so ago and i did'nt went to his funeral...in the last years i could see the roots of his behaviour and i thought about painting him in way i could say good bye and forgive him because now i 'understand' who he really was...a very creative man who had a very broken childhood and found salvation in alcohol...daaaaaaamn this shook me up.I am scared of painting him but if feel the urge to go through the mud and darkness.❤

It sounds like Edward Norton is teaching me how to paint and I love it 😂

I adore your paintings and equally your talks about painting! The best i found here on you tube!❤❤❤

🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

to see you carving unter the bed is astonishing!

Q soporte , q material es

But then we'll be unsatisfied from how the 'free' painting result by drifting too far away from our good expectations🙃🥲

What is your painting surface for your oil paints?

True

Always such a wonderful journey to see your portraits unfold into stunning pieces of art!😮❤❤❤

What a great video and presentation, Dani! Congrats on the sticking with the process and creating an amazing piece. Beautiful carving - well done!

Brava. Great description . Wonderful persistence.

Had to watch and listen to this one twice today. So many important ideas. I had missed this video a few months ago and have been wondering if something had happened with your arm. It’s inspiring to hear you talk about how you handled it. Beautiful. And thank you for sharing so much about the experience and what goes on in your brain. I always wondered how you could carry on conversations and paint like you do. 😊 Congratulations again to you and Dani. And a big scratch behind the ears for chili pepper.

Camilo Carreno! Love his work. Great tips btw, thanks

I think many finnish painters of that era you are talking had both european and russian influences melted on their work. For example Edelfelt and Akseli Gallen-Kallela.

It hits different when it is freeing because of the copious levels of over editing and sensitive bs.

Beautiful work.

Whenever I'm making something new, i always buy/salvage enough resources to make at least one "learning" piece, and then the real one. Sometimes i need two, three, etc, lol.

This is amazing... Keep up!

❤❤❤ love your resilence

Nothing to PAINT!? You have the whole world to PAINT!

Really good art fights back but if you win the battle the work has true meaning. I'm an artist and my best work always is one that I struggled with.

That’s awesome

"Painting goes beyond the object that is created" Absolutely love this video, this gets me excited to paint! Thank you for putting your thoughts out there. Hearing from a master artist such as yourself is really helpful. I've always been afraid of messing up my wrist more. I use my hands a lot and need them to be healthy in order to live my life. I've been on my own hand-pain journey over the last 10 years. It's still very mild but it does flare up from time to time. I think it originated from a bike crash that didn't heal right. I started drawing 4-5 years ago and at the time my dominant hand was not able to do it, so I would do it with my non-dominant a lot. Eventually I figured out ways to get my dominant wrist better and healthier, at least with drawing, but painting can cause it to become flared up. Anyway, thank you Nicolas!

I absolutely love your art!!!!!🫢 I accidentally found you yesterday on a short and quickly subscribed!! I’m so excited to binge on your channel, thank you so much for sharing your work ❤

This is super cool. Mike's last name is pronounced meen-yo-la. It's Italian.

amazing lovely exquisite

You mispronounced the name and sound like arse.

Gracias M.NIcolas Uribe,por ayudarnos a amar otro tipo de composiciones de color con grises, no todo tiene q ser en composiciones de color saturadas, si no aprender amar un gris naranja, un gris averdado, rojizo, enriquecernos , permitir q esos colores genere unidad sin perder el equilibrio

Me encanta su entusiasmo y como aborda ,el tema del efecto de los óleos y la explicación sencillamente clara

Jajaja jajajaja

Really enjoyed watching a lot of these being created. Thanks for all you share Nicolas

You can’t be a great artist of any kind if your life is uneventful.
