I'm doing a brading course and I felt disappointed because I disagreed with some points that I couldn't apply considering that my brand is art. I found your video and it saved me today, I'm already going to be able to reformulate the construction of my brand according to the things you said, thank you very much
Mo, it took me 2 days to come back and watch this, I think I was painting and I knew I wasn't paying attention closely. Today I am exhausted, but my youtube channel is growing, that's fun to see. I hope you are safe in Spain and that this virus scare will start to subside. You know what? I'm not tired of talking about it, usually negative things make me depressed, but this one while it is sad has taken lives, it is also bringing the best out in people. Sure some people tried to make money off the fear, and some people don't fear at all and put others at risk, but the average person is at home watching youtube videos that give them peaceful thoughts, or learning a new skill, or being generally productive in ways most at first didn't think was going to come of it. About branding, you referenced dark paintings, and I want to focus on this idea because it could very well be (in a sense) my opportunity to brand, to paint quicker, more beautiful and charge less thus make more sales. I could also paint it in bigger format and make more. My idea is surrealism and luminescence. I have been so close several times but I get the feeling I'm selling out. I paint a big foreground tree that looks like someone/some creature lives in it. It has a door, a window and a candle in the door's window and in the window above it. Then a foreground, smaller tree with a lantern, then a pond and behind it a pathway with lanterns guiding the way. Most of the painting is black sky/stars or darkened details with rings of luminescence of different, dark colors for the light the candle/lanterns are giving off. It is not depressing, but it feels like a night scene in the Shire (lord of the rings) just with a tree home instead of a hobbit home. Its cool, I have the luminescence affect the leaf colors and the trees brightness fading to farther away from the light sources. The space element is really cool with stars and space gas to exude feelings of imagination. Buuut, it feels at times like I would be building a fairy world that people would not want genuine landscapes from me anymore and only want the fantasy scenes. Is there a way to pour my effort into it while maintaining a normal style of painting career too, or would you recommend trying to paint just this style for a month or two and see if 10 paintings in they are my best ones and everyone wants one? I know I don't need to be all or nothing, but my previous attempts were so good but I gave up on them. I think the fear in me of selling out is a big one, but I have a theory that if your product is good you're selling up, making a name for yourself but not forcing the issue on how people perceive your imagination. Like how is it a detractors choice if I'm selling up to beauty's potential rather than selling out? Thanks again, I always appreciate your advice, and I must say your statement to me a month or so ago about saving old videos is key. I have a few I can bring back, and my highest numbers for music videos is my oldest video from almost a year ago, although its been a re-post and not kept there. So its numbers are a combination of where it was and where it is. Any advice helps, also if you knew how I felt right now you would say "heres a kick in the butt, start a small version of this right now." So since I'm beginning to get to know you a little I will spend the next 10 minutes meditating if I have the will to paint for 4-5 hours from 11pm-3am ish. You're a true inspiration, keep doing what you're doing. Someday we will both be big art advocates on here and maybe meet in person. Talk soon, starting meditation on should I fight tiredness to paint right NOW!! :) Dave "Sparrow Mountain" Manicom
👋 I am about to head to bed 😴 But before sleeping just a quick note on older videos: if you don’t want to show some of your older videos, don’t delete. Just unlist them, so you can bring them back anytime you want. Also it helps these who kept the links to still access your videos even the general public don’t see them.
Thanks for your videos. I''ve discovered your channel recently and It has really good content. Also, I've recommened your chanel to friends artists and to my older brother who is an artis too. Please, could you make a video about how an unknow artist can organize an art exhibition overseas. There are many artist who want to exhibit their work in Europe, China or US, but they don't know how to do it or where to start. Thanks for all the content that you share with us, I appreciate all the time that you spend to do your content, thanks !!!!
WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL ARTIST. The modern artist is looking for sales, money, fame, as soon is possible, So this method will work very well in this case. Create a product that sales and keep doing the same. That eliminates the long process in real artwork, creativity, unique pieces of art. So, what kind of artist you wanna be? There it is the work of Warhol and the years of work in Lucian Freud or Balthus (10 years to finish a painting). One is american market, the other european tradition. There will be always a fight about this issue. And this place is not enough to express all we are thinking.
@@angeliqueroux3017 Sadly the art world dosent let you do that anymore. That world ended with Picasso. He was not just a a genius painter, but a master in the art of art sales. Just a few artist today can show their talent compare with Him, and they still stay short in create not just a body of work that big, but to show how versatile and creative they are in their craft. Remember, that traditional european art was build for the elites, for the rich. Today artist are growing in numbers here, in youtube, instagram, facebook, the social media show us that people are hungry for beauty, for something new, that appeal to their emotions every day. People spending hours in a museum compare with the hungry public on social media, cant be compare. The success of a digital artist or traditional media, is in the numbers of views. And no all have half a million views or same number of subs. If we want to be successful in any kind of art, we need to pay attention to this and learn fast. The younger you are the better you will adapt. Specially because u already had born with technology (an iphone) in your hands, or you need to be exceptionally good in what u create. Look at: KIM JUNG GI.
writing an artist statement is part of your brand too. your brand is you, who you are and what you like and stand for.
Sometimes, the signature on the painting is more valuable than the actual artwork.
Hahahaha, a surrealist paper did a painting with just signatures of his name.
I'm doing a brading course and I felt disappointed because I disagreed with some points that I couldn't apply considering that my brand is art.

This is very well structured presentation. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😇

Then how would you build a traditional, European art career?
