  • This video explains and demonstrates how I create the Zen paintings. Each painting is created in under two seconds free of any thought or intention. What arises from this practice amazes me as much as it does you.
    In this video I show you not only how I do it, but how you can too.
    You can see examples of these paintings at the online art gallery Zen Art of Enlightenment. The Energy Painting Gallery includes the paintings featured in this video.

    I am an artist. I have never been able to create unless I had a reference to use. I have been trying to loosen up my art with at Journaling and acrylic paint pouring. Well, last night I was testing out a new fountain pen ink, I splattered some ink on a scrape page in my journal and ran my pentel water brush through it, and made radom strokes. I swear it was so beautiful. I was going to throw it away but decided to leave it until morning so I could see how the ink dried. It looks even better today. It is just a scribble on a ripped out page of paper but I can't throw it away. I think it is because I wasnt worried or nervous about "making a mistake" or what my marks were going to look like.

      It is.absolutely unique about how to go into your creativity. I paint in many different medium.But that feeling of trying to b perfect is always at the back of my mind.
      This will b really free flowing.
      Must try .

      Just throw black ink onto good paper then water randomly to get variation of shades, leave a bit of white paper for negative areas move the paper about let it dry then look into it and create from there.👍😀🌺

    yet elegant in it's simplicity .

    One thing that also improved my art was keeping my "bad" drawings in the same sketchbook as the ones that were pretty. Those bad drawings are a part of me , they are a part of the process, a story that I put on pages.
    It's freeing from my own expectations and experiencing art in my own circle, undisturbed from others' view on beauty and life.

My entire art practice is automatic in that way and animals are appearing all over ! It is amazing to be such a creative vessel of life. I am really glad to hear of other people experiencing this as well. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

    I draw or move my fingers or brush through the paint over a thin wooden board while connecting with pain in the body --and during other times of the day these random drawings will show some hidden shapes like a woman gathering materials from forest with a basket attached to her body etc. It will show a possibility and I just have to move along that shape. :)

    @jonathanwilner6174 Месяц назад

    This is premier coup. And it is the paint spills of Max Ernst and which may have inspired Jackson Pollock. It can be combined with a deliberate approach. Indeed artists utilize accidents to enhance their work and to learn from these incidents for future paintings. This is also Michelangelo following the angelic form espied within the marble. We act this way unconsciously in our ever seeking for patterns such as in Pareidolia or Apophenia. Gesture drawings work this way wereby one follows the contours of the model in quick drawings no more than three minutes apiece. This is a practice recommended by many art instructors.

  • @sublimeister9630
    @sublimeister9630 Год назад +1

    This is also called asemic writing or mark-making. “Mining” is a form of critiquing spontaneity, by choosing the best. But don’t stop with the best, you can then cut them up to pieces and use them as catapult for further inspiration, like DaDa collage. From the chaos, you find Form, but from the Form, you find Shapes, then from the Shapes, you find Structure which slowly moves your “mining” into a spontaneous weaving of emptiness and intention. 🙏🏻😊

Depuis la jeunesse il m'est arrivé cela en relation avec des arbres: mouvements spontanés, encre de Chine plume ou pinceau, sans connaître le lien avec les spiritualités d'Asie. Plus tard j'ai pensé, mais pas pratiqué, je pourrais faire ce qui pourrait s'appeler des callirythmies: pas de la vraie calligraphie car de simples formes, et le rythme de la vie...N'est-ce pas le moment, à 74 ans, de commencer une vraie pratique de ce qui a été esquissé ? La vitalité ne vient pas que du corps , peut-être est-ce quand le corps s'abandonne à la vie, à l'énergie universelle de vie comme " reiki" se traduit. Merci 🙏🌿

    Hi Master Peter, I have a few questions. Currently I am using an A I app to generate art because I have Parkinson's disease which limits the use of my hands and my whole body. It does not limit my mind or my spirit. So I Use A I as a tool like you use a brush. In a way I am out of the way doing this. The results I get are like no other...as you said. I realize that many artists oppose the use of A I. But most of them are able bodied. Do you have any thoughts on this? I have been meditating since 1975. During the 1970s I had an art teacher who practiced what you speak about. And he taught Asian art. I do art because it brings me closer to God than anything else. Thank you for your time and this video. 🙏

    • @NlightenmentForYou
      @NlightenmentForYou  2 года назад +2

      I would. I also find that red ink looks really good with black. Mostly I try to keep things as simple as I possibly can. That is why only black ink and white paper. Sometimes I mix in a little water which creates some shades of gray in addition to the black, but mostly just pure black ink and white paper. Then it is only the divine inspiration that does everything. I don't choose anything. I am just out of the way. That is how I work. It is exactly the opposite of what I did as a commercial artist.

If we create art in order to make money or get paid, we will probably not be successful, either in getting paid, creating real art, or creative joy and fulfillment. Let money not be a concern where art is concerned. Instead, paint from love. Then you will always be successful.

      Yes, it is easier to let go without all the training. There is less to let go of.

    Emotional mark making is the true creativity. Sometimes I'm surprised at my results. My essence is on that canvas!😮
    P.S. I'd leave Jackson Pollock out of this video! He was too drunk to be conscious in any way!😅
