Henrik, you absolutely thrill me in my creative being. I love your style and method. I plan to work with some cold wax and oils to create my own style from your use of color and structure like yours. Thank you so much for sharing your time and talent with us.
I have never had an art class in my life and now that I’m nearly old 😊, I have the urge to do something creative. Your videos are inspiring and I absolutely love your art. Thank you so very much.
Thank you for this video, and the painting, as always, is gorgeous. When mixing your colors in your little bowls, with what medium do you mix into the paint? Do you cover them so you can use them in your next session? Thank you so much.
Hi, I really only use water. Sometime I use Acrylic Glasing Liquid, but only sometimes. Water only in this painting. I stack the bowls and use an atomizer before I cover them with a plastic box ... sort of a lit. I usen for seveeral sessions.
Wonderful video! I am 73 and have been painting for about 10 years. Recently, I have been drawn to more abstract work as I’m getting bored with traditional looking paintings. I love the graphic style that you embrace and this video was perfectly edited and very well done and enjoyable to watch! I have subscribed and look forward to seeing all your videos.
I was just thinking of you and your beautiful work. Thanks for making the process as amazing as your stunning composition! The push and pull of the pieces as well as the geometric contrasting is breath taking and truly masterful. It's wonderful for you to share your joy and enthusiasm for creativity with the world! 🧡💙💜
I think that to be a great abstract painter requires more than slapdash painting application. You put so much thought and work into the composition and colors which result in paintings that clearly demonstrate how difficult it is to get great abstract paintings. Thank you.
Hi David, I don't mix a lot of color. You can see how much is in my glass bowl. That is usually enough. That's about the equivalent of a teaspoon. Finding just the right shade if you run out of paint is of course a little tricky, but now that you only mix 2-3 colors, it can easily be done ... if you practice your eye. Remember that acrylic dry up somewhat darker than when they are wet. Also, it's only necessary if you have to cover a larger area. The small areas I paint are very well covered with a color that is "almost" right. Good luck.
When you changed the color of the 'sky' I was reminded of something the interior designers say. It's only paint, you can always paint over it. And you were right. I will endeavor to be bold. Thank you Sir.
Great video as always, thank you - it’s always good to see a new one appear. 🙏 I learned a lot about composition…but, as they say, rules are made to be broken! The colour mixing was useful too as it’s a constant fascination and opportunity to learn. Wonderful waves! Again, a constant source of wonder.
There are no stupid questions. When you stack them, they seal each other, so the paint stays wet. Finally, I use a water atomizer and then put an inverted plastic box over the glass bowls, when I take a break. It is also an option to make a wet pallet. You can easily find out how on YT.

Thank you for sharing your perspective on composition rules. I will quit worrying about the composition rule police breaking down my door.😂
Ha, ha ... yes. They no doubt will nock on an other door.
I love your sign. “Henrik is closed today.” Stealing this one! And enjoyed your insights on colour as communicator. Best regards Henrik.
Thank you. Yes you need to rule out disturbance and focus.

Thank you for your kind words.
Next, will you teach us how to play piano? 😅
Ha, ha ... no ... you will have to figure that out yourself!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us. Excellent presentation as always! Love your work.
Thank you.
How much paint of each shade do you mix up? How much do you concern yourself with mixing up more paint later, but not getting the shade exactly right?

Another gem. ❤ thanks for sharing.

Thank you for the video. I’ve got a stupid question. How do you keep the paint from drying on the palette and in the glass jars?
There are no stupid questions.
When you stack them, they seal each other, so the paint stays wet. Finally, I use a water atomizer and then put an inverted plastic box over the glass bowls, when I take a break.
It is also an option to make a wet pallet. You can easily find out how on YT.
