This is my favourite painting from all your paintings and I love that you showed the trial and error part of your process too. More videos like these please!

art school drop out here to take notes!! my paintings are always too colorful, these muted colors are so much more emotional

Imma remember the "turn a wall into a giant easel" hack. I love your painting setup!!

Beautiful. And especially impressive that you've used what space was available to you. Congratulations on a fine painting and an impressive resourcefulness.

I'm with you on your contempt of visible canvas texture. I gesso then dry then I use a palm sander w/ fine grit and sand. I repeat as many times as is needed - till the surface is as smooth as a baby's behind. Yes it's messy but my studio has a door to the outside. It's so lovely to paint on.😮

😛😃😋🤩🎨🎨🎨🎉SO MUCH PAINT!! How long do your paintings take from beginning to finally being dry enough to sell? I presume you sell these pretty quickly? One of the great masters of our times, dare I say. A great inspiration, makes me want to pack in my job and paint from morning til night every day, I bloomin’ love painting! And seeing such a unique artist at work is totally inspiring and it fuels the creative drive, and gives me a new vigour to improve, and keep on growing and learning and creating. Thanks for your inspiring spirit, this is an amazing channel, can’t wait for more…

Could you list product you're using for prep? In one video you use oil ground? In this you're using gesso?

[omarihandsor]

Ive been following you on Instagram for a bit bro. You're an inspiration:)

Love how you kept the painting loose even though working from photos (which can often dictate too much and cause too much fiddling with details) Nice use of muted colour.

As King Crimson said in one of their tracks/songs. "I Like It":-

"Indiscipline" by King Crimson.

I do remember one thing.
It took hours and hours but..
by the time I was done with it,
I was so involved, I didn't know what to think.
I carried it around with me for days and days..
playing little games
like, not looking at it for a whole day
and then... looking at it.
to see if I still liked it.
I did.

I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat myself when under stress.
I repeat..
The more I look at it,
the more I like it.
I do think it's good.
The fact is...
no matter how closely I study it,
no matter how I take it apart,
no matter how I break it down,
It remains consistent.
It remains consistent.
I wish you were here to see it.

I like it.

I’ve had the privilege of bathing feisty cats after they stepped and rolled in oil paint😢. It was a dark day
