Appreciate the set of paintings you showed, and having time for a good look at each. Your landscape of the snowfield is so satisfying. Thanks for the video.
Good one Skip, a true example of "less is more" in a painting, often it seems. In the real world, however, less is always less, like having less money (buying power) now to buy groceries and gas, in the past 3 years, eh? ;D BTW for any "cubist" folks out there, take the cube root of his equation for your "works"!! LOL :D
In my humble opinion, it is quality that sells. The true beauty lies in the subtle grays, not the loud color. Just visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and you will not see overly saturated paintings for a reason.
It takes time to understand what a beautiful brushstroke is. This is True both for the artist and the Collector. It cannot be explained in words it is a visual.
Less is a bore. What even is that 2nd "red" painting ?!? Ok to prioritise values, but that's no excuse for laziness of design and execution.... Don't sacrifice drawing to get your point across like the impressionists did. you can do it all together, paying attention to values, comp, colour, edges, etc. without driving the main statement into the ground.
Colour gets all the credit but value does all the work. Great lesson - thanks for making it available.
You are right. Thanks for watching
Thank you, learnt a lot. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge.

Very true
From my standpoint and clients, color sells. Yes, nothing beats intent with composition !

Depends on one’s targeted market. But the norm is that people tend to migrate to realism over crazy loud colors. But each has its place…

I like my pieces to invoke a positive emotional response.
👍
No wonder I've not seen these paintings before now.
Thank you for watching the video

Are you trying to teach Skip Whitcomb?
Looks like a worn farmhouse in a field to me.
The roof, chimney etc…
I like the red painting
yes, it's like a Rothko! LOL@@alexanderstevens145
Best comment award to you!! Yup, that "painting" was pure crapola!
