    Thanks Albert. I love Cy Twombly's art. It's deceptively simple and yet his sense of color and shape are so wonderful. I'm going to try something like this. I wondered if you'd ever heard of Leopoldo Novoa? He seemed to be a minimalist, collage and mixed media artist, but did some amazing art.

Great intro, thumbnails, tags, music selection etc. One suggestion I've learned in my research. Take each one of your tags and make sure you integrate each one of them in the narrative of your description. It helps in the ranking algorythm. By the way your English is great as well.

    hello and tnx for the videos....i wanted to know whether you prime your paper with gesso or something similar before painting - i bought fabriano 300 gram paper and painted on it with acrylic (its a paper supposed to be good for both oil and acrylic)..but it did got blown a little, did not remain flat completly. i was wondering maybe i needed to prime it before or something similar. tnx

    • @ImperfectPaintings
      @ImperfectPaintings  2 года назад +1

      Hi viewer (😉) it's a bit difficult, it depends, a lot, on: the paint you use (different brands have different results), how much you apply, if you apply multiple layers, season, humidity, heat (dry air indoors in winter because of heating) and so on. You have to play around and see what works in your case. I use 200 grams, I had the perfect paper bug the company was acquired by another one and hooray for profit for someone, but the quality was lost. Now it curls in an awful way. I often use creditcard to work with and noticed that 3 thin layers of any paint helped a bit. So more layers but in thin layers worked for me. Or curling it the other way around when a base layer is dry.
      One last suggestion, go to your local store, buy several different sheets of paper and see which one works best, higher price isn't the answer, cheap works often better for me.
      Hope this helps, Albert

      Hi Lauren, thanks for asking. The paper is a difficult question. You have to try out what is available at your place and what works for you.
      I use drawing paper, 200 grams. It has a good surface so you can draw on it and erase it again. But a drop of water on it ruins the surface is, the fibers open then. I always dilute with acryl medium. I can't find the right words in english to describe my paper. I know it's acid free. Hope this helps. Albert

      Hi Lou, thanks for the interesting question. I guess I know what you're aiming at. I think because a lot of us are to shy to be bold, like Cy. By imitating others you can experience a little how this would feel. A lot of us have no clue what to paint or how to be original in art. Painting in someone else's style helps. Can it be the result of our educational system where creativity is killed everyday? Happy painting though, Albert
