Attending Exhibitions and Art Festivals as an Emerging Artist | Farewell To Summer | Studio Vlog 004
Hey guys, welcome back to another studio vlog! This year has been amazing as I got to be part of two art exhibitions, including one at the BWI airport! Throughout this journey, I’ve learned that making connections in the art industry is super important. I also applied for a solo exhibition and got a slot for March 2025-so excited! I've been attending local art festivals to sell my prints, which has been a bit up and down, but it's also been a great learning experience. Recently, I sold one of my most admired paintings! In this vlog, I also talk about the inspirations and concepts behind my latest pieces, 'Reaper’s Curse' and 'In Love With My Future.' Thank you all for your support; it tru...

"DitchIt App has completely changed my approach to organizing. It’s so easy to use and has helped me clear out so much clutter. I can’t imagine going back!"
Thanks for this, Ricky!! You're awesome
Thanks! 😄
How about trying the satin?
You can just put your pallet in the freezer oil paint will not dry out.
You need the sponge and palette paper. Follow the instructions.
It didn't come with instructions. I did use pallete paper. I didn't use a sponge because I use oils not acrylic paint. Since publishing this video, I realize it's more suited for maintaining acrylic paints.
I've been using my Masterson sta wet palette for a few months. I love it. Paints stay wet for at least a week. You can also wash the pàlette paper that comes with it and re-use it.
Nice honest video. Do you also airbrush?
Thank you, I haven't tried airbrushing. Should I? Lol
@@RickyHawkinsPaintings yes, I highly recommend it. I use it on models but there are many artists who airbrush pictures. Iwata, Richpen, and Harter&Steenbeck make amazing airbrushes.
Dreddfx has great airbrush art videos
You are a talented and sweet man, you should be proud of yourself❤
Thank you very much! 😁
Thank you! Incredibly helpful and you have beautiful work.
Thanks! 😊
Yes to putting your prints on your own website! 🎉
😁😁😁
Congratulations on your show in BWI airport that’s huge❤
Thank you 😊
can u explain us more about effortless etsy shop looks like??
I don't have an Esty shop anymore because I sell directly from my website
I just discovered your channel and am so happy to have been able to enjoy this experience with you. I'm glad it turned out so well and that the challenge was such a success! ☺️☺️☺️
Thanks I appreciate that! 😁
Congrats on scoring your solo exhibition! You should be proud of yourself.
Thank you so much! I am really proud! 😁😁😁
❤❤❤
Hi! Came across your video totally randomly. Your art work is amazing! You are very talented. That last picture... I have no words. Good luck with your paintings and whatever you decide to do...
Thanks! I appreciate that! I haven't uploaded in a while, but I've been really busy with new works. I'll be sharing some of that soon!
Your paintings are amazing!! I hope they get noticed more and your success rises.
This is beautiful. I hope you become successful. Out of curiosity how much do some of your paintings go for? Sorry if that's a rude question
It's a good question, I keep my specif prices on my art as "on request" for client and gallery confidentiality. But I personally have a rate that I price my work with depending on the size.
wow u are really talented and underrated 🥰🥰
Thanks!
I really like Gamvar varnish too. When I apply the gloss version I use a light circular scrubbing motion. This seams to get it into the grooves and crevices. The gloss has less glare when I apply it that way. Great video and beautiful paintings !
What can be problematic with gloss varnish is that is reflects light like crazy.
The one I've been using has been a really good varnish that has very little to moderate reflections depending on how much you use.
Very nice! Love the colors and style, and the composition is awesome, too!
Thank you very much!
that is truely beautiful! You are very talented.
Thank you 😊
That’s beautiful I love the contrast and movement
Thanks!
That music sent me back too far
Lake music hits hard
Where did you get your sheets from?
I ordered them from Amazon
@@RickyHawkinsPaintings what exactly are they called 😅 I've been searching for "oil palette paper" 😅 would that be it?
This is the one: Strathmore 300 Series Palette Paper Pad, Tape Bound, 12x16 inches, 40 Sheets (41lb/67g) - Artist Paper for Adults and Students a.co/d/0j2cEkn3
@@RickyHawkinsPaintings Thank you!! Just ordered it! 😁
Awesome! Happy to help! 😁
That 4K richness of the colours popping out... I think you need to alter your settings in post-production and then the magic will be plain to see. Those paintings are amazing, particularly as you were working in oils, which is like attempting painting in Marmite and jam! But I was going to say for the benefit of anyone reading this, if you're painting in acrylic you need a protective isolation layer between varnish and paint. I did some experimenting with different layers of different things and varnish straight on certain acrylic paints made the colours run badly. I'm a fan of matt varnish. I like it to look like it's not even there!
Thanks for your wonderful video and I am going to watch more and subscribe!
Awesome, thank you! 😁😁😁
You can also seal the pallet better by applying baby oil which does not cure to the top edge of the side where the lid is pressed down. This does help but I’m going to try the clove oil on a cotton ball in a corner which was recommended by another viewer.
Good job
Thank you! 😄
dope art bro
Thanks! 😁
Love the detail in the braids!
Thank you 😊
They great!
Fabulous rose 👏🏻👏🏻 beautiful nature scene!👏🏻👏🏻
Wow the painting of the dude with sunglasses is excellent!
I use Gamvar gloss, it makes the acrylic look more bold, rich and bright. I use a sponge to apply. Love your beautiful paintings! Blessings 🙏 to you!
Clove oil, cotton ball, tucked on the side
Love your paintings ,
Thank you! 😊
As an avid Art Collector, It all depends on the Artwork. In some rare cases, a combination of different sheened varnishes should be used in different areas of the artwork. As an Art collector, I end up with inevitably older paintings that suffer from old and degraded varnish or in some cases none at all. Satin varnish is my go-to most of the time as gloss tends to reflect to much light and changes the overall painting's look and matte is just a bit dull unless the original painting was meant to have that sheen. Remember what varnish is for, it is meant to be a protective barrier for the painted surface from minor abrasions, contaminants as well as UV not to change the artist's intended work. For the contemporary artists today as the original creator it is very important to consider this step carefully as its the finishing touch and it makes a difference. I have seen a few artworks that suffered from the wrong varnish as well as benefit greatly from varnish.
Can you add a coat of this gloss varnish over an older painting with a different varnish that has lost its luster?
I believe you can
@@susanweidman3525 Good question. Consult a conservator or art restorer there are too many variables to consider without seeing the artwork in person and I am not a restorer and there may be more than one option.
You should try a test where you use the gloss varnish first then the matt. I beleive you will get the rich colors and not the reflections. Cool videos.
Thanks! I'll try that!
That reminds me of those popsicles from the ice cream trucks
Haha true!!
Please I need help (suggestion)from everyone? Which type of varnish do you like most. Is it gross math? Which one looks more professional oil painting?
Especially in hyper resolution oil painting ?
Gloss Varnish
Congratulations! That's so exciting. They're beautiful!
Thank you 😊
They are beautiful ❤
Thank you!
So… as we've always thought, you need to just have a shit load of layers and some keep colours the sock into each other for a little while and then when they're right you pull the colors out. Some really old pieces can use some varnish, probably dust them or clean off the bullshit first.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
amazing
Thanks
Love your artwork!!!❤❤❤ keep up the hard work!!!
Thank you so much 😀
Slay
That is a truly amazing piece, and i truly hope you gain success in your art, happy Valentine's❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
