Awww i keep repeating.. cos I love to see your cat.. I have 5 rescued cats I ended up.with.. I love them.dearly.. so does my special needs son... so sweet kitty.
I absolutely love your art.. the colors the strokes.. so rich ..full... and deliberate.. lots of volume in this piece. Speaks to my soul... love it
That turned out amazing; you were able to ‘fix’ the purple bit without getting discouraged. The end result is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you so much! Really apprecaite it. 😄 The purple bit was definitely touch and go for a little while! Haha.
Thank you for sharing your work. Your paintings envoke a kind of peace within my soul that I find very comforting to experience in the rush of everyday life. One day I would love to own a Tim Schofield original.
I have explored somewhat with watercolor paint before and even oil pastels. Honestly, I enjoyed the oil pastels more but I do think it is because of my lack of experience with watercolor. Most definitely a medium I would want to explore more. Thank you once again for sharing your wonderful work, seeing those beautiful landscapes and seascapes inspires me so much.
Enjoy the journey with the acrylic, and always keep creating.
Hi Joan. Thank you for such a great comment, it means a lot to hear about the experience you have viewing my paintings. 🙂 Watercolours can be a really fun and rewarding medium, although there was definitely a period of frustration for me early on! I'm glad that the videos offer you some inspiration. Happy painting. 😄
Over 15 years ago I mainly painted with acrylics. Then I pretty much didn't paint at all for many years. I now paint mainly in watercolours but just recently started painting with oil!! I have never tried that before and it is lovely!
Oils were where I started as a teenager, although with no indoor ventilation I didn't do a very safe job of it. They're an awesome medium to work with though and I do find myself missing them lately. Happy painting 😁
A pleasure to watch the process of a beautiful work of art.
Thank you, Mj.
I love using them together. I like thinning my acrylics and glazing with them. I love to use oil techniques with acrylic and watercolor techniques. Its the best. I need to get back to watercolor and relearn a few things. I miss painting.
Love your videos... and Wow, this is a beautiful painting in acrylic. For me it’s about freeing the mind using both watercolour and acrylic as well as other techniques. Go with the flow 😊🌟👏🏻 it’s lovely!
Thank you, Ingrid! Really appreciated. Nice to hear that you use multiple mediums as well. 😁
This turned out beautifully… I love the texture! Yes, I too dabble in acrylics…. Gesso , plaster of paris… etc
Very nice work Tim! I like your idea of using a ruler when pulling off the masking tape, I'll definately try that. Thanks :)
Thank you, Marie. I've been a fan of your work and your channel for years. :) Really appreciated!
I love how beautiful and gentle your art is.
Take care
Thank you, Diana. That's really appreciated and I'm glad that you like it.
I use everything! For me, it depends on subject matter and also on the mood that I want to create. Also... my own mood! I'm packing up my art studio as I'll be moving house soon and I'm 'discovering' material I've forgotten I had! Awesome - going to have lots of fun in 2023!
Exciting times, Maria! Wishing you good luck with your move. :)
Such an atmospheric painting. Love it :) this video really teaches me the importance of patience in art practice when layering. My medium of choice changes by what I’m inspired by…I go through seasons of favouriting what I feel I want to work with, and most of the time I end up mixing medium on the painting journey. 😊
Thank you, Jennie. 🙂 The patience doesn't always come easily for me but it goes a long way!
Lovely cat as well !
Beautiful as always!
Thank you, Cassandra. 🙂
Well my style is very far from this, but I absolutely love your art and landscapes, but somehow I don't have the trust and the courage to painting something more free and loose like this. But your videos are very inspiring. And I just wanted to say that the video style and videography and edit is just... so nice, so much work put into it. Love your videos.
Hi Egle, I appreciate that. I used to really struggle with loosening up so it means a lot, it's where I've found most of my fun in painting. I'm glad you enjoy the videos as well, I wish that I could turn them out a little faster than I do! Thank you for your kind comment. 🙂
So beautiful!brought back to a place as a young girl,my many beach dunes I experienced,⛵love,touched my heart!
Thanks so much, Andrea. 🙂 I'm glad that the painting brough back pleasant memories for you! That's awesome to hear, I appreciate you sharing this.
Your videos and art really inspire me Tim. Im a very new painter, still developing my style, discovering the joy of creativity. Your videos are so inspirational and also the way they are produced is so calming and almost meditative. Your art is beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you, Karen. Really great to hear that you're new to painting, it's such an exciting time! I'm glad that you enjoy the videos and I appreciate your comment a lot. 😁 Happy painting! 🎨
I really love your style of painting... very free.. wild.. I love to paint like this.. I've just started my art journey using acrylic.. aint tried oil yet .. just getting feel...I'm actually trying watercolor in real time.. I do love to use other mediums of painting... your very talented artist. I choose to only really watch women artist. But your up my alley... Bless you.
Thank you so much, Venus. 😀 Painting loosely didn't always come naturally but it's where I feel most at ease now. Awesome to hear that you've started painting, it can be so rewarding! I'm glad that you like the videos, thank you for your kind comment. 🙂
This is so relaxing to watch. I need to unlearn and relearn to let myself loose when painting.
I'm glad you like it, Fai! Loosening up can be a real challenge to work out, I used to find it very difficult! One thing I always remember when trying to paint loose is to use a bigger brush than I think I should be using. 😀
@@TimSchofieldArt 🤭🤭 i do use bigger brush but my brain will divert my attention to create details 🤣 thanks Tim. Will definitely try and try again.
Wow, stunning. I have been staring at my acrylics with a new idea poking at me. When you bravely put down that vibrant color it inspired to let the ideaOUT already. Lol thank you.
Hey Victoria! Absolutely, sometimes you just have to take the leap! Really pleased that the video was helpful - happy painting! 😁
I would love to see your video on your framing making. I love you cat ❤️
I've been thinking about a video just on the frames :)
fabulous 👌 very inspiring thank you 😊 and very calming
Thank you, Trish. 🙂
Really enjoy your art making and finished works. I like to work in various mediums and even different styles.
Thank you so much, Debra! Having different styled and mediums to learn on can be refreshing for sure. 🙂
I love your videos, this is a beautiful painting as well, thank you so much
Thank you so much as well for watching, Anthea!
Your paintings are stunning and ethereal and I love watching your videos. I have gone down the rabbit hole of trying other mediums besides watercolor, such as acrylic, pastel, alcohol ink, oil and sometimes I have trouble deciding which medium to use and which of my 3000 reference pictures to paint. I’ve started a new practice to scribble or sketch every day and make notes and I am determined to do one for every day of this year. A few years ago I did the same painting in four mediums and I have to say I really got better with each painting and learned a lot so I may start repeating that process. Thank you for everything you do!
Hi Vivian! I hear that, the paralysis of having too many choices can be a difficult one for sure! I enjoy intuitive painting particularly when I'm not sure what to create, since the only way is to go with the flow! Completing the same painting in multiple mediums sounds like an interesting thing to try, maybe I'll give it a go as well. 😁 Thank you for your lovely comment, your support is truly appreciated!
This was a wonderful video! thank you!
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! 🙂
Bloody beautiful Tim! Yes I am originally a Watercolour artist but am so enjoying acrylic dreamy experiments of landscapes. What you’ve achieved here has hit the nail squarely on the head. The framing suits it so well too. Looking forward to more. Once again your video style is excellent too Tim. Thanks so much.
Thanks so much, Jen! That dreamy feel is exactly what I like about them as well. Appreciate your comment and your kind words, hope all is well with you.
I've only really started painting in earnest within the last year, although I've drawn (and cycled through various creative pursuits, all of which contribute to one's overall sentiment regarding others) for a long time. Started out with watercolour and have only recently had the space to start working in oils; it's funny, though, I've really latched onto solely using a palette knife. I think it's because it's just... something I couldn't do with watercolours (although I'm sure it's possible, maybe a little more tricky with pads though), and the textural extremes are very gratifying. After watching this, I'd like to give texture medium a go as well, so thank you. The end result was gorgeous; I hope someday I could come close to producing such a fine skyscape C:
Hey Tomcat! Painting with a palette knife can be great fun. I've started out that way a few times but always ended up with a brush in the end haha. thank you for your kind comment and happy painting! 😁
Loved it! Beautiful painting. I’m also a 90% watercolor artist, but I also like to mix up with watercolor , rice paper and chalk paint. I too, often start with s picture and turns out completely different. That’s the beauty about being an artist😊love your soothing voice
Wonderful! Thanks for sharing with me, Kym, it's always nice to hear when parts of your process sound familiar to other people. 😄
Really enjoyed this one.
Thank you. :)
I started with Acrylic 2 weeks ago after spending a year with watercolor. I saw myself wasting much paint because I had no fear, I knew I could paint over mistakes. Not something I do with watercolor. Mistakes are sometime not! I liked your painting very much. I liked the texture. I'll give it a try!
Hey John! I definitely relate to what you're saying. The knowledge that I can paint over things with oils and acrylics has always made it feel like a totally different activity. 😄 Enjoy creating some textures!
Really love this
Thanks Beulah! :)
Just amazing I love watercolour and just started t play with acrylics I find it really hard the feel thick paint is weird….. love the cat …..
Thanks, Yvonne. :)
Great tip with using your ruler to remove the tape. Ive ruined a few edges. This will help. I use all mediums to varying degrees of success. Love the cat!!!
Glad it's helpful, Vicky, it works really well in my experience. :)
I really like it, makes me want to go paint something. The (seeming) ease with which you create something so beautiful makes me think I spend far too long on my paintings faffing over tiny details until they’re dead 🤔 thx Tim.
Thank you, Petal. I used to get sucked into the details so much so that I'd rarely finish a painting. A big part of taking up watercolours for me was about learning to loosen up and finally bringing some of that back to my old mediums have been really enjoyable. 😄 But finely detailed work can be utterly stunning as well. I have other exercises I do to scratch the itch to fixate on my details, maybe a topic for a video some time. Have a great day!
This came out so lovely. I enjoy using a plethora of mediums and my hobby is collecting hobbies. 🤣
Hahaha, thanks for the laugh. Glad you like the painting, I appreciate it! 👍
I watched this as I ate my lunch and it was soothing and rather wonderful, thank you for making these videos, I really appreciate the time it takes. I love using mixed media and even use emulsion sometimes too!
Hey Dotty, I'm so glad! I've never tried emulsion in a creative capacity, that sounds pretty interesting... :)
@@TimSchofieldArt its pretty good because you can use it quite thicky so it gives lots of texture
Absolutely stunning and uniquely Tim - and by that I mean not only the finished work but also the video. Always great to see your channel pop up on my feed. In response to your question, I like to work in both watercolour and acrylics although probably not always deliberately. When I feel myself approaching the ever hovering mental block in a piece of work or series, I will sometimes walk away from one medium and jump into the other as a distraction (or relief I suppose). Most of the time this allows me to come back to the other with a fresh perspective. Be well Tim! Thank you as always for sharing.
Thanks so much, D C :) I definitely find that hopping to another medium can be really helpful to mix things up and can feel like a relief and lets you return refreshed (Hopefully!). Really appreciate your support. :)
@@TimSchofieldArt 100% here to support Tim!
I have been working with abstract acrylics these days… it’s is so freeing to work intuitively. Rarely does a piece have any particular direction… I’m just going with the flow. Layers and layers.
Love this new direction you’re heading ❤️
Absolutely wonderful Tim. I really enjoyed going through this journey with you and your sky really has all the 'feels'. The texture you created in the ground is what I love about acrylics. I do like using different mediums and each has its own thing that it does best. Thank you for showing us how this piece came to be - it has a different emotion than your watercolours, but it should! Just absolutely fabulous! xx
Really appreciate your comment, Ema. I agree this one has a different feeling to it and I'm quite happy about it. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, I plan on doing more like this following a single painting. 🙂 Hope that you're well!
What a lovely video! And how exciting!
Regarding "paint waste" - i feel like most of the times, the previous layers that you've painted over shines through ever so slightly which helps when creating interesting textures and mark making. So using a lot more paint is just a part of the process 😉 I look forward to see more. The frame looks stunning as usual!
Have you ever made a painting using both watercolour and heavy body acrylics? Using multiple mediums together is probably the best way for me to "stay loose" and experiment. Thank you for another great video!
Hi again! 😄
I hear you on the waste of paint. You're absolutely right and I enjoy working in layers anyway, it always feels a bit more like digging or sculpting than painting to me. I appreciate it!
I tried combining acrylics and watercolours one time, albeit not in a very well thought out way n an unplanned and slightly chaotic way. Unsurprisingly, not great results unfortunately! I'm always up for combining mediums though and it's something I have thought of since. Not something I have plans with at the moment but if I come up with an idea I like I'd be open to trying it!
Thank you for your comment. 🙂👍
Incredibly beautiful 🤩
Thank you! :)
loved it! i´m not married with any medium, in fact, i tend to change every time, from watercolor to acrilyc to sculpture to embroidery and so on... a mess haha
I want to try something like this. Looks really calming, especially in this hard times.
I'm glad that you found it calming, John. 🙂 That's the main reason that I upload here so it's great to hear. And absolutely give it a try! I hope that you enjoy.
Maybe one day I could show you some of my works🤭
Wow, this is beautiful but still love your watercolor. Devo dire che al inizio pensavo che non mi sarebbe piaciuto molto 🤭 ciòe la parte in basso non mi piaceva proprio poi hai scelto quel viola che ha cambiato proprio il tutto. Molto bello! 💜Sei proprio in sintonia con il tuo gattino!
Thanks so much, Anca! 😄
This is great, I feel we have similar ways of working (although your results are superior!) Primarily watercolour but i like to experiment with different media. I love the textures in this, very inspiring.
Hey Derek! Thank you, I love working layers and building textures where possible, it feels like a very natural way of introducing depth. Keep on painting! 😀
So beautiful. One of my favourites. Do you mind telling us which gesso do you use? Many thanks
Hi Sueli! Sure thing, I've used a few different gesso paints but this particular one was done with what I had to hand, which was Daler-Rowney. Thank you. 🙂
I have many mediums just waiting to be explored. They’re all in boxes I can’t really get to atm. Very much looking forward for that to change. Absolutely love what you did with acrylics there. Emotional landscape 🫶🏻 Don’t know why but I don’t like that frame though.
Hi Tim, really beautiful work! Love it! I am wondering, since it is on paper, how you mount the painting so it can be attached to a frame? Thanks very much for a wonderful video!
Hi Ed, thanks for your comment, I'm glad that you like the painting. 🙂 I cropped the painting slightly and then cut out a piece of birch plyboard which I then sealed, and attached the painting to the plyboard using acrylic medium. Then it's a solid piece that can go into the frame. I hope this helps!
I love your art and the way you put your videos together, it’s so calming. I am so stiff with my art I wish I could just let go a bit and see what happens. By the way I love that colourful jumper you have on at the end where you are taking the rape off. Where did you get that if you don’t mind me asking.
Hey Steve! Thanks so much, I'm glad that you enjoy the videos. Painting loosely is where I found most of the fun that I have in painting, although it was a challenge to loosen up so not something to stress about if it doesn't feel natural right away. :)
It's one of my favourite jumpers and if I could tell you more then I would! Unfortunately it was a second hand purchase from a vintage shop and the label is pretty much destroyed. The brand name is Suspense, I believe, but I've never found more information than that. I hope you find one!
