    Thanks for this. I hate being asked if it's photoshopped. Makes me want to say, "thanks for stopping by, good day!" Shouldnt matter how an artist creates the art, it either works or it doesn't.

    I've done plenty of realism in my aviation art in pencil and the moment an art teacher told me "art is shape without lines" is the moment I realized how much I love line work in ink and also that is the moment I realized art school is the antithesis of art in most situations.

    I am relatively new to your channel and have been enjoying your perspective immensely. You are kind and funny and your input is salient and accessible. Klee is the perfect foil with her quirky commentary from the blurry corner of your video. Also, your pieces are quite engaging and have a lot of visual umami (to steal a snooty cooking term)...HUZZAH!

    I am a ceramicist (and painter, but the painting is not important for this comment), and I do what I call "revisiting old ideas", where I take elements from some of my past works that I really like and try to rework it. I've made various versions of ram, bovine, and deer skulls. Because these animals are so similar on an anatomical level they do come out looking somewhat alike, and are all inspired by one original seed of an idea, but they are each a different take on that basic idea. Another example is that I made a patchwork style cup and like the concept so much that I made a similar one a couple years later. On the second I used a totally different color scheme on and omitted the stitching I put on the first piece. Part of the reason I've done this is that the original pieces are not for sale, so I wanted something similar to showcase my talents that I could sell to potential buyers/collectors. And even if I lined up all these similar pieces, they are obviously not actual reproductions of the same piece. This is how I reuse and revisit old works and ideas, but I get that not everyone works the same way, and this might not be how other artists feel about this. Just my two cents on reproducing my previous works. Thanks for your perspective Rafi and Klee!

Within the past months I've been feeling like hey I actually can be an "artist" I've been getting into digital art (which I'd obviously make prints for) but I love the idea of having a series of paintings as well. You're a refreshing person in the art world, which I have very little experience in and I can't wait to see more of your old and new videos.

    I'm going to be 80% digital print on demand. I made this choice because shipping is a nightmare, and I work digitally so it makes a lot of sense till I have enough following and such to get a production up and going. I do want my art to be valued so I will be limited prints and sales on even my clothing items . jewelry will be one of a kind and my paintings will be one of a kind. you're right it depends on you as an artist and what you're comfort levels are and what works for you what stopped me for years was feeling i had to make every item now I have that pressure off my shoulders i can just focus on my art

    Somebody once said to me, "just because someone gave an opinion about you, doesn't make it true. No matter who they are." That was the beginning of my journey to rediscover myself artistically. Sadly, I am an artist who is afraid to sell her work, for whatever reason. Actually I am not even sure why. Sad, but true. This is okay & not okay at the same time. This your story, your journey and it will unfold at a pace you're willing to accept. I have learned recently, to let go, just create what move on. It is your life force. That feeling when your are so absorbed in whatever it is you are creating. When time zooms by and feels like mintues have past, but it's been hours. Crazy, but wonderful. That feeling of satisfaction and joy. Wow, we get to experience nirvana and most people will never know that feeling. To me, that's sad, but it makes you very special. You are an artist, because you create. Have fun and love what you do. Okay, I'm done ranting. I just love to vent. Thanks for all your advise. You're awesome. 🎨

    I totally agree. I created a painting of the F-14 Tomcat with the commanding officer's modex number of 100. A guy wanted me to change the number only to match his wish. I could have made the extra money, but to me an exact copy with a different modex number would just spoil the originality of the work. I offer giclee prints. They are so close to the real thing most people don't know the difference when viewing; and they get it for a much lower price than the original painting.

    4:57 Matisse created a lot of versions of the blue nude before settling on the definitive one we all know, I’m sure he wouldn’t have been against those being up for sale too though. They’re all slightly different. My your mind is amaze dudes are all different after the first trail and tribulations I found a way to reproduce, won’t be as detailed as the one which sold but I can make them to order , all different but one of the same.

  • @karritz1542
    @karritz1542 5 лет назад +1

    I wanted to sell copies of my drawings. I learned printmaking as an artform. Etching, collagraphs and eventually photograms. The first two are done on a printmaking press and the third is done in a photographic wet darkroom. Unfortunately i no longer have access to a press or darkroom but I can still prepare my prints. I use copper, aluminium or lino for the print making or glear acetate for the photographic processes. But this is a different concept to making prints from photos of paintings or drawings.

  • @michelelevani
    @michelelevani 5 лет назад +1

    I agree with you on so many levels... but... there are some individuals who are self-appointed “professional” artists. For instance, I like to sing in the shower and in my car, but I can’t carry a tune. Even if my friends and family enjoy my singing, I would never approach a coffee shop or bar and ask to perform gigs. That should be reserved for karaoke. 😂 I believe the same principle really should apply toward art. There still should be talent and technique considered before claiming to be a “professional” artist. If a person enjoys creating, that’s awesome... but creating a painting in a paint and slip class does not make one an “artist”!
    Btw, awesome video series! Thanks for all your tips and advice!👩🏻‍🎨

    I replicated an original work by request. The collector who owned the first one got quite miffed. Even though it is my intellectual property, and I'm free to paint whatever I like, I get it. I understand his point of view, and have since decided that I will not likely do it again.

    Hey Rafi. Struggling with the Print Paradox lately as well. One gallery would not carry my work if I was known for making prints of my work. Only wanted originals...no prints EVER! I have decided to do prints of some pieces. Like your idea of mounting on wood and 'finishing' each one a little differently. Would you share your process/wood mounting and materials ?
    Thanks Rafi💜🙏

  • @parlevous1
    @parlevous1 6 лет назад +1

    I feel kinda like you about prints. I always feel like it’s sort of cheating the customer. I think it’s cool for every piece of art I do to be one of a kind and sort of market myself that way. But also if someone is going to buy my art, I want to give them quality. If they couldn’t afford it, I would even go so far as to negotiate a lower reasonable price. But quite a few people have said to me that if I keep doing that, then it’s not fair to others who have bought my art cuz it devalues the art (and myself) and makes it seem like it isn’t worth the canvas it’s painted on. 😄 Idk what do you think? Ultimately though, if someone insisted on a print I would probably have it made up cuz I value those who take an interest in my art.

He outright COPIED his work and repainted it either using a transfer from the same drawing or using a projection method. There are two neary identical Medusas, The Baccuses are done and redone, I believe he did multiple gambler versions. Who in accadamia sits down and thinks of this kind of horseshit?

    Also, here’s a question; if you could replace the artists statement and evolve it into something more efficient and viable, what would that look like to you? I’d be very curious to know and possibly to try out, because the system won’t change unless someone changes it and I’m willing to give it a go. Thank you again!
