I think the ‘lost eye’ gave the piece a more mysterious feel that goes well with being under water. Very lovely piece.
Chris Hong is spoiling us with content and I'm definitely okay with it
I remember learning that in doing portraits it's super common for artists to put more detail in one eye than the other because fully rendering both tends to cause competition in the piece. So your decision to do that turned out to be a common technique and I think it looks really good! 👌💕
now i have a reason to not paint the other eye HAHAHA
I think you were very brave to make that decision. I always have issues with changing a direction when I have started and I think your piece turned out phenomenal!
Any normal artist would have left the eye in, but you knew it would take away from the other eye, the center of focus, no one does this, you are a genius. I'm sure it will inspire copy cats.
Love this one. 💕
Thanks Ni! 😘
That takes courage and I really appreciate your decision to hide the eye. There were some paintings by Charles Reid that he just paint the shadow and leave the eyes out completely. And it looks so atmospheric and amazing! Makes it more mysterious and distance, more powerful and emotional. You are such a good artist, thank you for sharing your art and creativity ☺️
You are a true inspiration. As I get back to my art for the first time in a long time and the first time being more serious about it... the way you draw these children clowns and paint them really blows my mind. Your amazing and original and it’s amazing to see it all unfold
Good save! its a valuable lesson 😯 you have no idea how much work that I simply discard without even trying to morph it! SO MUCH WORK IN THE TRASH!I love the abstraction!
You're definitely one of the most skilled Artists here on RUclips. I really enjoy your recent videos. Looking forward to the next one!
Wow u talking about treating ideas precious and not doing something because u feel like u don’t have the skill yet, really hits home cause that’s exactly what I do :0 You seriously inspire me damn
you preserved lights so well in this one ! I hope to see more clowns in future :D
I love your art style it’s so pretty and soft looking.🍒
sooo cute. I always wanted to achieve this texture digitaly
Painting with watercolors is so challenging for me - thanks for posting the painting process :)
So nice to listen to someone that has a similar thought process and opinions. Love your work!
I am enjoying watching you find your new style. I love what you are coming up with and I can't wait to see what you do next. It is inspiring and intriguing!
Love it...I wish the left tear was more of just a mark and not as rendered...but the sentiment is on !
This is one of your best, if not, the best painting you've made so far in my opinion. Can relate to the struggles you talk about as well, with not being able to just paint what you want, instead of what you think you should🤔 Great vid❤️
I love how soft you make your paintings look. This one specifically, I love the effect you got by making some bold vertical strokes and how those contrast with your soft blending. I also like the contrast between the abstract left eye and the rendered right eye.
On a side note I kept thinking that this looks like clown ice cream sundae that’s melting.
I love that you are showing how complicated and stressful being an artist can be.
Your videos always make me wanna use watercollors and make art...
Love the piece. there is so many contradictories in it, a crown which usually related to evils(or ppl hide their feelings depends on different culture) and at same time a kid. The rainbow which is usually means happy but with the sad kid crying. The color also in a very beautiful blue tone which set the scene a bit moody. Also she(maybe he) is under the water or maybe just a closed space where set the scene a bit depressing. Maybe she closed the door to outside or maybe no one can see her.
I seriously love this!!!
Wow, I really liked the brush strokes you added at the final! For me, added it to the piece more "abstract-like" and created a beautiful contrast with the focal character/emotion! I love it!!
One of the things that helped me with oil painting was doing a medium-dark value early on for dark areas as a first pass, then waiting till near the end to add anything else to it. I was kind of surprised but the detail in the brighter areas helped push back the shaded areas and I realized I didn't need much detail for dark areas. (Hope this makes sense!) maybe this can help when you have pieces like this that lean darker.
I do like your end solution to more or less cover the one eye. I think still having that little corner of the eye showing let's us know something is there and the little bits of shading around the eye makes it feel purposeful (not like you covered it just because).
Ah yes, with oil paintings it's actually best to start dark and work up the values.
But I think chris does water color more than oil?
God I agree with you about art at the galleries. I just stand there and stair at people's faces lol I really wish I could do stuff like the big scenes but mentally and attention wise I just couldnt haha
I really love this one and your clowns in general. I hope we get to see more of them soon!
Your skill is massively impressive. God has blessed you with great skill. Portraits draw me in as well
i love your art, and i hope you do more videos real time..... and i hope you could feel more accomplish with you art, maybe experiment with loose watercolor abstractions? saludos desde Argentina
@lo l I do not actually! I left out making any exclusive video content on patreon since it takes up a ton of time to put together, but I will consider it in the future if that's what patrons would like to see from me from time to time ^^
I am very attracted to the abstract background pattern and colors :). You’re amazing!
I love how it did turn out. The contrast between the happy part and the very sad part is so amazingly done. Also I love how real you are and didn´t just cut out or even more didn´t share your struggle. Great job!
If I draw something I really like I'll do it in watercolor, then acrylic, and now oils. I don't mind painting the same thing over and over :) sometimes it gets improved by the last painting and sometimes I like the 1st first...
I think I might approach this type of concept in the future with different media as well! :)
Personally, taking the eye out definitely looks better for me for the same reasons you said. The blurry eye somehow drew your eye, maybe because it contrasted with the rest of the well-defined face? If anything, I think you could bring a bit more chunky shapes into the rest of the face just to bring it all together and bring that eye back into the face design a bit more. I’d definitely be super nervous covering anything though, maybe it might be good to snap a picture and test some things digitally first 😂
i always love the lighting very nice as always
.l think the left eye made it look so much more interesting! Love this one
The message is what's important. I admire how you can step back and find your "voice" despite all the social media. It takes bravery to show your exploration story to the world haha
I love the abstract eye. I think it adds something really cool to the painting. It makes me feel more for the sad clown.
Feeling like you shouldn’t attempt an idea because you aren’t quite up to the skill level is an entire mood
I bought your clown stickers and loved them. I'm glad your exploring painting these and I think the missing eye doesn't look weird since she's under water it works. Im excited to see where your art progresses to. It's fun to watch.
This turned out so beautiful and emotional! I mean you work always speaks but you always put so much work and effort into the expressions of your characters so its nice to look at a close up portrait of one of them! :)
Good luck on your experimental journey!!
I srsly thought a red balloon was coming out of her head o.o CHRIS HONG I TRULY LOVE YOUR WORKS 💗❤💖❤💗❤💖❤❤💗
@phantomdaydreams I didnt even finish 1 and 2 but yeah it really reminds me of pennywise
I really like it. I find it quite affecting - I think because of the contrast between the "happy" and "sad" elements.
Wow, I really love how you transformed the balloons from the tears like that. Its so strikingly clever!-
But I also must say, that in terms of the balance of the piece, something seems amiss. I think that there maybe too much going on on the right side? It does feel a little cramped.
This is my opinion:)
Chris, I would really love to see you do something like this but on cold press watercolor paper. I think it would really make the granulating colors perform to their best ability giving your painting more depth and texture. Not that it’s not wonderful as it is, it’s great! I personally prefer cold press myself and I‘d like to see how your art style would look on it.
i feel like your content now that you are trying to experiment and feel more genuine with it, is feeling a lot more alive and it really speaks to me
Watching you draw really igniting my muse. Always make me go and get my tools and draw.. thank you
man i really want to buy a scan of one of your sketchbook haha. id like to see the variations you try out before finding the final concept. i love every glimpse we get of the book. or is that some super secret idea bank we cant see? :'
and pretty work as usual!!
Thank you for being an honest little angel💜💜💜💜💜
Hello, maybe you would enjoy seeing Thor Grimur Einarsson , an artist from Iceland. Doing wonderful, seemingly simple paintings .
You mentioned Benjamin Björklund that I also like a lot .
🌱
Your work is always so inspiring, thank you for sharing your honest thoughts on your process and I actually appreciate hearing your feelings and struggles, makes it more human💖 keep the amazing work coming!
please please please make this into a print. i love it so much and i- ah i wish i could see it every day on my wall
Wow! I can not stop thinking about the psychology that may have consciously or maybe even subconsciously been put into this painting... there are soooo many symbols to interpret in just this painting... OOWH! :) I find it cathartic, especially when I'm feeling a bit lost, to paint my feelings.... The clown that should be happy with everyone's expectations is crying and drowning in their own tears. The knocked out eye could show the broken image you see of yourself, while on the surface everyone sees the rainbows and balloons - childhood dreams... When I see this painting I see a lot of fear and inability to express your wants and needs by feeling lost in emotion and how you "should" be feeling....... I could also be pulling all of this out of my butt :P But still really cool! Keep doing more paintings like this! I like it! I hope you do too!
I hope one day I'll be able to be at least close to how amazing you are at art😱
Seems to me that your new direction is going towards making art that makes more deeply personal statements and seeks more intimacy with your audience. I think that is a very strong starting point. I agree that you should not share your feelings about the work as it develops. What would be amazing though, is after however many months of exploration you were to do a video reviewing the works, talking about what you were trying to achieve and how various decisions led you in particular directions. It's also ok to keep it totally to yourself. It must be so stressful to be constantly putting your process in videos. Very brave. I am in awe.
Your art is so beautiful, it brings tears of joy when you look at it.
This is so pretty
This is so beautiful and listening to you speak is like the thoughts in my head coming out! Thank you!
Omg this is so good
Damn. Thanks for talking about björklund. I didn't know him yet and his stuff really cool.
Glad to see you back on track reconquering your own art. 😊 I really like the looser style and how you treated her right eye.
Mathilda can't seem to find his stuff online. Would you send me a link if you have one handy?? Would ever so appreciate it.
I definitely have paintings that aren't started, or are partially started because I lack the ability to go further.
Love your painting, but it is sooooo sad. I love your videos.
So... what you’re saying is... if I sacrifice one of my own eyes, I could be a better artist?
This was refreshing. I do the same thing. I don't like to revisit either.
This painting is SO gorgeous. I want it so badly.
Really nice😊
Maybe the most interesting painting I ve seen from you. Don't get me wrong your illustrations are adorable but this is much more "artistic" "gallery art" . I'm so excited to see you do completely different work I wish you all the inspiration and confidence to develop what you are looking for!
I really like what you did with the eye, it's different but looks great.
This is gorgeous! And I totally love the style choice with the eye. Definitely adds an artsy, nice touch. I just went through a major repainting moment with a piece so I totally feel you. haha
This is gorgeous 😩 I'm absolutely ready for this new fase
i really can feel the struggle here xD you're so talented and humble, please come back to Toronto sometimes, I really want to give you a hug xD
😍😍 love this painting Chris!
I liked it in that middle stage! I know i just have the one opinion, but I think you might be so overly critical of your work even when it looks fabulous :) of course the final version is lovely too.
I can't look away from it for some reason and it makes me feel uneasy and evokes so much rage inside me
You are amazing
"And that kids, is where balloons come from"
Put a star patch on the eye. Or other shape perhaps?
How are you so undderatted like bruh ur amazing
Really beutiful 🤗
thank you for so many videos! you're my favorite artist so i really enjoy them, this one like always is just beautiful! that had to be a tough decision lol
I love this, every details matters ❤️❤️
I LOVE THIS ❤️ and i also think it was a good desicion
Just bought an art book by Graphite that had your art on the cover, the interview was so cool and it turns out I go to the same school that you went to!
I think is perfect without eye! 😍
I know I'm super late but you saying "Was it even necessary to paint it that many times" and being so frustrated with how you didn't notice it sooner just struck a cord.
Yes. Yes it was necessary. Is it hard and drives you mad? Hell yeah it does but now you know.
A person once explained it to me this way: A baby needs to fall when trying to walk. It needs their legs to be too close together and too far apart on other tries. You could tell it to just assume a hip-width stance but it will have learned nothing about how to keep it's balance if their legs ever assume a position that is slightly off.
Sometimes you just have to grind your teeth through something to break through an important barrier :')
I have this problem like when im doing the touch up of my painting i take my time and add details and most of the time im satisfied with the end results.
But also most of the time i end up running my painting because i don't know when to stop and later i regret.
Love your
Style💓🖖
This is really good, I like it, has she tried doing watercolors (Ink) or painted with colored ink?
This is a gauche and watercolor illustration.
I haven't tried coloured ink yet!
Watercolor ink? I didn't even bbn know that existed! Love new supplies!
Honest opinion: it was completed by 6:02. After that, you made new painting on top of finished one.
♡
do you weat the paper before or not?
Doesn't work because of lighting issues, but glad you're experimenting.
Chris, what Myers-Briggs personality type are you? You seem quite introspective :)
it is still a very nice piece however the left eye ended up
Hong Kong Forever
I've heard you say this several times, so here's a correction I you care.
You CAN say "how it will look" or "what it will look like"
You can NOT say "how it will look like"
It's not a big deal, I just notice it.
Oh, so sad.
If you mute, its a great video!
Idk, you kinda overthink art. Just paint
Or just be miserable like yourself.
@@jana_lee Where is the moment when we needed the most?
You kick up the leaves, and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to gray
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on
Stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carrying on
'Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile, and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down, and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on
You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile, and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
Sometimes the system goes on the blink, and the whole thing it turns out
Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well, oh, that
Strong
And I'm not wrong
So where is the passion when you need it the most?
Oh, you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
'Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You see what you like
And how does it feel one more time?
You had a bad day
You had a bad day (had a bad day, had a bad day, had a bad day)
So pretty 😱🥰🥰🥰
