    Love this particular video. After 20+ years in acrylic mixed media, making the change to pastels found me feeling surprisingly vulnerable and hesitant. Loved the practical reminders in this video.

      Soooooo good to hear! Dive in and DO! With your art background, I think it's getting used to the medium which means getting in there and pastelling. You have all the art-making skills to help lead you on this journey of exploration.

    Thanks for this excellent and inspiring video! This really what I needed to hear. Very helpful tips! I want to get deep into understanding colours, composition, etc. and I do read up about various artists and their styles and watch tutorials. I am so glad to hear from you that for beginners it is good to learn from great artists by trying to copy their painings and styles. I am doing that currently. Thank u :-)

    • @GailSibleyArtist
      @GailSibleyArtist  4 года назад

      That's so great to hear Mala!! The main thing is to PAINT! Definitely look at good art but it's in the doing that you develop your creative muscle! And copying with intention does give you insight into composition, value structure, colour choices. So yay you!!

  • @rojodosh
    @rojodosh 6 лет назад +3

    Fantastic Advice. I think the one about not allowing society dictate what you want to paint is good and taking risks in painting. The problem with me is that I feel that I should paint something that has more meaning/ less superficial subjects. Perhaps your advice to explore different subject will help.

    • @GailSibleyArtist
      @GailSibleyArtist  5 лет назад

      So glad you think so rojodosh. And thanks for pointing out the things that spoke to you. I hear you and understand when you talk about feeling you should be painting something more meaningful. Paint what moves YOU. In doing that, and painting them with passion and intention (understand why you are painting what you are painting) they will begin to take on a deeper meaning.
      Let me know how it's going!

    "listen to your heart and soul"
    I feel like I've lost my style and that I am completely starting over. I am trying to make a living off of my artwork. I've fallen for the fads and now I am lost. This was very helpful and I hope one day my style will come forth and make my feel that I am unique.

    • @GailSibleyArtist
      @GailSibleyArtist  6 лет назад

      I am so glad to hear that this video struck a chord with you. I am sorry to hear about where you're at and feel your pain but know there's a way through it. If you can, take some time to play and paint. Paint without judgement or expectation (easy to say but try doing this). I would suggest not showing anyone else this work. Just do it for you and see where it leads. Keep at it and a path will show itself. Your very own path.

      I'm so glad to hear you will try to paint regularly. I know sometimes it's difficult to make it happen whether it's finding the time or the motivation but it will pay off for you. So try to schedule in painting time. Even if you don't feel like it, show up in the studio. There's always things to be done there and before you know it, you'll be picking up a brush!

      I think as artists we can help others see the world in a different way through our images and content.
      I was listening to the OnConflictPodcast and was delighted to hear a number of their guests talk about the power and place of art. Here's one podcast with Keith Kahn-Harris who talks about art as being a place to express our violent feelings and thoughts: www.onconflictpodcast.com/episode-14-keith-kahn-harris-rebranding-conflict-resolution-through-civility/
      Another guest who mentions art and artists is Michelle LeBaron.
