There are no rules in making art… period! 🦾

When I first started painting I thought ALL artists free handed their work lol. But then you realize a lot of classic painters used camera obscura, gridding, assistants and now projectors. There’s nothing wrong with it and it’s interesting to see other artists methods. I been freehanding for 10 years now and it’s just your personal preference.

I originally came for the art but stayed for the personality. I love when you break through the "gate keeping" of what is and isn't "allowed" in making art. Also happy to see you on screen... you are a very charming man sir!

[julielue]

I was shut down years ago by a comment about my work when I explained I used a projector. This negative had a huge impact on now no longer!
I can't thank you enough for your words of alone have given me back my self belief. Thank you ❤

"There are No Rules in making Art", and No Rules to Appreciate Art either!

Thank you Sir

My professional artist uncle would start whatever art he was making (most often, but not always, sculpture) with a pen and ink rendition. If he was going to add color, he would make photocopies of the pen and ink, and then play with colors on the photocopies, before he committed to anything on the final piece.

“Don’t send help, I know exactly what I’m doing “ 😂 your sense of humor is almost as good as your art!

[DavidCogleyArt]

I'm a newer artist, but doing it full time now. I love this man and everything he has to offer and say. The positivity, encouragement and advice is all priceless.

It makes me happy to see another artist using a projector and digital tools to map out the next moves. It’s so much better than messing up your painting surface!

It’s so impressive how every stroke you make is perfect in it’s placement and colour. Those who might criticise your use of technology fail to recognise the amount of skill and experience that’s required to execute such beautiful paintings. (I own a hammer and drill but I can’t build a house) Thanks for sharing everything you use to get such fantastic results.

I’ve been freehanding my whole life, making my work really hard on myself because I thought “tracing” or using extra help was “cheating” but it’s so clear to me now that it’s not. Learning to shed those beliefs to help myself grow as an artist 🦋❣️

Can’t even describe how much I appreciate this guy’s honesty and casual brilliance. Love it!

[LivingCRISP]

I can totally see why people “hate” this part. 😂 great work and thanks 🙏🏼 I really appreciate your contribution to the global art community. I wish There were more people like you back at the genesis of my art.

Holy cow, I don't know why I never considered the approach of taking a photo of my art and then trying out ideas digitally but this video just changed my world! Love the work and thanks for posting!

This video is such a gem 💎. As someone who primarily creates digital art and also produces music(100% on the computer), it was so awesome to see a traditional artist with this viewpoint. It's so crazy that more people don't realize that it doesn't matter how good the technology is if you don't have the fundamental skills necessary for making art.

[janwelsman]

I really love the partly finished impression, because it brings out perfectly the lovely detailed portrait

I have just started painting in "mid-life" because I enjoy it, not because I was born talented. I have gotten frustrated many times worrying about the outcome and realized I was missing the good part, enjoying the process. I have learned so much about the fundamentals of art just in the last few months and this video really opened my eyes to the fact that it is ok to use certain things if it makes you a better artist. Thank you for that! Beautiful work!

[izakniemann]

I am an artist now for 14 years and I also use an overhead projector after learning that from another professional artist! It completely changed my life for the better.

[rainbowwaves]

I hope that him saying, "this is not cheating" is directed towards the new art babies that are coming in. Coz I'm tired of hearing convience be called cheating by people who have been in this for long to know it doesn't matter, don't restrict the art babies to stupid rules that even you don't follow. Learn all the necessary ones and break them if it's gonna help you make good art!

Norman Rockwell had used a projector in the second half of his career. It is a common tool for every artist. I absolutely love your work! ❤🙏
