Paint like Robert Motherwell - abstract expressionism - make your own abstract art
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 май 2020
- Robert Motherwell is an American painter known for his series of paintings called The elegy to the Spanish Republic. And also the Robert Motherwell Open series and the Beside the sea series. Robert Motherwell painting is interesting to do. You can make your own abstract art by just looking at Motherwell art, see what he does and try for yourself. In my video I more or less give art demonstrations RUclips style. I paint and while doing so, I explain what I do, so you can do it too.

Materials
The art materials I use in the videos are not sponsored.
I prefer to work on multi-purpose paper, more info in this video: • How to choose the RIGH...
In almost all my videos I use with Winsor&Newton Galeria acrylics, if not, I will say so in the video.
Other materials I use are in random order: 5, 10 and 40mm brushes, palette knives, acrylics medium, Ecoline liquid watercolor, Lyra color pencils, Lyra soft pastels, oil pastels, Stabilo color pencils, paper palette pad and basic masking tape. I also use household items like a permanent marker, scrub sponge, scissors, paper towel, and so on.

Greetings from the heart Albert. You don’t fail to inspire. Your teaching methods and the insights that you provide puts more life into works of art than multitude of books on the subjects they try to teach. I am an admirer of Robert Motherwell. Until I saw your lesson, I thought that I got a satisfactory understanding of this artist and his methods. Your explanation and demos gratefully, re-fired the desire in me to reconsider and relearn Robert Motherwell. Thanks so much for you dedication to always provide us quality art education and motivation to create. Stay safe!
Hi Salim, nice to hear you like it so much. Do keep in mind it's my perspective on things but when it seems plausible: enjoy 😁. I enjoyed very much to make a painting of my cabinet. Bye, Albert
1.29 your grey backing sheet plus the coloured edges would make a great Motherwell-esque series.
Thanks, Dave. Indeed, the pallette, table cloth, or backing sheet always slowly turns into an artwork. Unfortunately, most people forget to look at it. Albert
Excellent teaching! Fun project! Thank you for showing us how to look, where to look and not just how to do. There is a depth to your teaching that gives meaning to making art. 🙏❤️
Hi Franca,, thanks, lovely to hear. It may sound strange perhaps, but painting is about meaning, message, reason, story and oh yes also a little bit about paint. And applying the paint is also about others things like movement, flow, intention or intuition. And fun, enjoyment, learning and oh also paint... and doing the work, doing, doing, doing. Stay safe and happy painting, Albert
InstaBlaster...
love your videos...very inspiring, refreshing and happy!
Thanks, sanjayke, always nice to hear. Enjoy creating your next artwork, Albert
I was lucky enough to meet Robert Motherwell once at a museum
He inspired me to no end and was encouraging, he passed not long after
Hi Erick, thanks for sharing. Looking at his artwork it must have been a dream to meet and talk with him. I would have liked it too. Albert
Excellent info, nothing like I had in College art which was fairly week. I was studying for degree!
Thanks, Gara g. Enjoy painting, Albert
wonderful like always:)
Thanks Claudia
Very inspired to try new techniques. Thanks👍
Hi Bonnie, thanks. Lovely to hear, enjoy. Albert
I liked Motherwell's paintings a lot too, but never delved too far into the philosophy behind them. I liked his wife's paintings as well, Helen Frankenthaler. Both used colors and color fields to help define their art, and were masters at it. This exercise reminded me of something that happened to me the other day at the hardware store having to do with the current social distancing. I will try to use that as a painting idea. Thanks Albert.
Hi Culture Fan, thanks. It was interesting to inform myself about his art. The exercises presented themselves more or less. Frankenthaler is on my list for somewhere in the future. Being perceptive in these social distance times can be very revealing and inspiring, especially around tensions and 'me first'. Bye, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings Albert, here are some examples of my own artwork. I thought you might like to see them as they have similarities to many of the works from artist you show and admire. ruclips.net/video/zf20ce8vEoo/видео.html
more to art than meets the eye...
You're right Marc. Thanks, Albert
Love the splattered ones, fabulous
It was great fun to do. I still have little dots of paint everywhere and🤣🤣🤣
Just found your channel and wanted to say it’s quite brilliant actually, please keep up the fantastic work, it's helpful and inspiring and the videos are a joy to watch. Thanks Albert
Hi Ruys, thanks for your kind and motivating words. Enjoy making your versions. Albert
I love your channel. Thank you for the ideas! 🎨
Lovely to hear Stephanie, enjoy making your paintings. Albert
Wonderful clear visuals and instructions!
Hi Fergie, thanks. Do you also enjoy painting? Bye, Albert
LOVE iT!
Hi 80monia, thanks. Albert
Hart bedankt weer voor de leerzame video Albert! Wel heel aparte kunst maakt die man!
Hallo Ellen, bedankt en graag gedaan. Albert
Hello Albert, you really where busy to try a lot. It can hang in a museum ride a way. 👍🏻👌🏻🙀😀
Hi J , thanks. It was very interesting to do. And I framed one already 😉👍 Bye, Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings how do you frame the painting?
Hi J,. thanks for asking. I have an empty frame (we call it 'baklijst' in Dutch) in English something like a shadow frame. I also have a foam board, the size of my paper, fixed into the frame. With a little masking tape it put my painting in the frame, take a picture, get it out and put in the next one. Hope this helps. Bye, Albert
Imperfect Paintings thanks Albert
Amazing video!!! I found your channel a while ago when I was looking for Jean Dubuffet art. I recently rediscovered it and I cannot stop watching 🙂
Hi Paneko, nice! Motherwell is interesting and fun to try for yourself too. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings
Yes! And I meant rediscovery of your ‘whole’ channel and all vids.. I can see now how my comment above is confusing 🤭.
@@paneko1 thanks, you were clear the first time. I see my comment could also be confusing, LOL. Just enjoy the videos and browsing around. Albert
Another great video, Albert. I've been a huge fan of the Welsh artist Kyffin Williams. I'd love to see how you deal with his landscapes. I encourage you to check him out. Kyffin Williams paints like no other. Somehow he manages to capture the pure essence of the location in impasto with a very limited palette. Many thanks. 👍
Hey D G, thanks. Interesting suggestion. I looked at artwork of Kiffyn Williams and it looks interesting, but also deceptively simple. I'll put him on my list. Are you a painter as well? I would love to hear. Albert
AT 11:27 I like the painting on the right hand side.
12:46 is slso a good one.
LOL, you're right, never forget to look there. Albert
Thanks, Chester, playful can often lead to beautiful. Albert
How to pain like Joan Mitchell? A great idea for a video.
Hi Richard, thanks. Indeed a great suggestion. I will put her on my (growing) list. I have to do some research on her first. Happy painting, Albert
hello, interesting concept! what typer of paper are you using? I have trouble with paper staying flat when I paint on it.. Thanks
Hi Gldn pyramid, I use drawing paper 200 grams. It curls a bit but when dry it's okay. What you could do is place little pieces of masking tape underneath it in the corners, works for me. Hope this helps. Bye, Albert
a++++++
Thanks, Suwong
may i ask what type of canvas or paper do u use, size and lbs.
Hi blackened, I use 200gr multipurpose paper 50x65 cm. I get this question a lot so I decided to made a video about my paper choice: ruclips.net/video/H2vpSqvUESg/видео.html
Hope this helps. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings wow albert, thank you for your reply and the video too. Will watch it now. Cheers!
All to serve you 😁😁😉
No, do not try to paint like Robert Motherwell!
There's no obligation, if you don't want to, that's okay by me.
