I'm an art history person- you shit, besides being excellent= super original. What a great blending of styles and, to my knowledge, no one else is doing. I wish you further success.
yesterday i was looking for process videos, tutorials, demos, interviews, or artists talking about how to push your reference / subject further. thank you for sharing! this is what i wanted to develop more in my paintings. there's not much content talking about this on youtube or it's hard to find.
I am happy to hear that this reached at least one person! Pushing your reference further is in large part allowing what you see and feel to be displayed on canvas. Which can be weird, new, unfamiliar which to me is the cool part of painting abstract portraits. In some ways its a mirror to your inner self/world. If there is anything specific you want to go into in the next one, let me know.
@@JoelWrightArt I'll use your creative brief for my current digital painting. often times on my regular portraits i would go on to render forever without a clear plan or goal just going by feel. With this abstract portrait i think my future hurdle would be when to stop rendering, pushing for abstraction, experementing. What usually are your benchmarks or turning points on moving forward to the next step inorder to complete your work? When do you say, "i'm done on this aspect I'll move to the next part"? (same question i think to the first one) and do you always follow those benchmarks or do some works just flow naturally to completion? Also my knowledge and vision of abstraction is little. In my mind I just define it as more subconscious drawing. so that tells me you have less control over the marks and other processes, but the creative brief gives it some constants or buckets to fill in. but it's up to the artist if they want to fill it, spill, or not use it at all.
I really love the colour play in that painting. Videos like this are important to new painters like myself, as I just started painting with oil paints and the emotional rollercoaster feels overwhelming sometimes. It's all part of the process. Greetings from Finland!
I used a tertiary color scheme tetrad as the main colors. Red-violent and blue-violet was the colors of the underpainting and I build upon that in successive layers. I may tone it down some but I haven't fully decided yet. It's like a game of chess sometimes. I am proud for you that you have the courage to use oil paints as a beginner. Many new students avoid it and that is fine but it really does open up many more options. It is a lot to learn all at once but eventually everything comes together. Greetings from Texas!
Just got the creative brief page here joelwrightart.notion.site/Creative-Brief-Painting-Art-Direction

Oh, go check out Minjae Lee- a Korean artist. Though different, his stuff reminds me of yours, somewhat.
@@kevenquinlan I will check it out! Thanks
