Albert- I’ve just discovered your channel 2 weeks ago and hv been binge-watching all your videos! You hv made me break out all my paints again-I’ve been struggling for a long time w a creative block, and your painting challenges are really helping me. I am drawn to geometric abstraction, and was glad there were many videos on that subject, yet the landscape videos are the ones I’m going to work with bc the softness/ blurry-edged quality is so out of my comfort zone. Your teaching style, generosity w your knowledge, and playful demeanor are easy to connect with, and you hv even introduced me to some artists that I wasn’t aware of. I wanted to make a suggestion for future artists videos: Jennifer Bartlett and Bridget Riley. Thank you for all you do in inspiring, challenging, and unleashing the innate creative we all hv inside. ❤🙏❤️🙏❤️
Thanks, Helen, I have goosebumps all over. I just put out the videos, hoping they will be of use. And it's fun to do, of course. Artist block is a nightmare, but I also have the idea that sometimes it's there because of high expectations or whatever judgemental thinking, inside or pushed from the outside. No judgment, just sympathy for the ones suffering. I have my own internal battles, and part of my painting routine is a sort of resistance against how it should be or look like. Therefore, I look for artists who support my ideas that anything can be okay or be art as well. To support others who just like to play with art tools without a money-goal of looking for outside respect. I just want to show that things can be done differently. Ugly and sloppy are my companions because most of the time, I just paint as a visual 'sketch' to show what I talk about or how my brain is wired or sees connections. Bridget Riley is marvelous, but also on such a high level of skill and detail that I haven't found my way to make a video about her. Jennifer Bartlett is new to me, but she triggers something, I'll put her on my (growing) list. Please throw other names as well, preferably of women, because men get enough already 😉 Be well, peace, Albert P.S. do you have a nice idea for a next challenge you would like to join in on? Artist? Geometric abstract, perhaps?
Thank you 🙏🏻 for including my artwork in the video. It is amazing and inspiring to see the submissions of the other participants. Thanks for sharing! Susanne
Of course, Susanne, that's the fun of the challenge: to show a variety of art on one subject. Art can be a lot and the skills level is not an issue overhere. Having fun is essential. Thanks for participating, Albert
Great video and fun to see the participants. I was just too busy to respond this time, but did try the exercise and hopefully try it again in the future when I can get more free time.
Thanks, Emmanuel, I apologize, I suddenly realize I forgot to include your painting. I checked twice if i had everyone covered and still forgot yours. Bummer. I hope you will join the next time. Albert
@Imperfect Paintings hi Albert. Not to worry. We are just enjoying ourselves, and the fact that you just looked at it made me happy. I will stay tuned and no worries, when i can, i will submit. It's nice to follow your ideas. Take care. See you soon.
At the moment, there is no challenge running. In a few weeks, I will put out a video explaining the exercise for the new challenge. All details (like email address) will be in the description under the video. Just keep an eye open for the new video. Here is a link to a previous challenge around the artist Emily Mason: ruclips.net/video/5hJ2wugcRv0/видео.html
Welcome to the club, Enrica. There are always so many faces in my artwork that I stopped looking, noticing, and mentioning. Some explain it as pareidolia, an official scientific term. I see it as people, spirits, energies, or whatever who drop by in my painting to say 'hi'. I see them as teasing me because I always say I'm not good at painting portraits. But another aspect of it is that when I start looking for them, I can't paint freely anymore. How is that for you? Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings I think I have pareidolia myself. I see faces everywhere. Fortunately they are always friendly/funny faces. Some people with pareidolia are terrified by what they see! But I tend to go with it. Both me and my partner enjoy seeing faces on beaches and give them a helping hand with seaweed and shells, just like kids. Most of my digital drawings have faces in them. But if I want to be free I think I can, by just finding faces at the very end. Sometimes I ignore them, sometimes I try to enhance them, and that almost never works!
They are magical, and I only mess up when I try to enhance them. I stopped and just let them be. Love your story on the beach, and treasure your inner child.
In addition to my comment before. I loved everyone’s submission .
Ah, yes, I did as well. Such a variety. Wonderful.
You are a great artist and teacher.Thanks so much,Iam very grateful.
Thanks, Shirley. Enjoy making your next artwork. Albert
I like the way you used passe-partout - treasures and beauty indeed! I got really excited.
Thanks Jane, try this yourself. It can help your creativeness. Albert

Yayoi Kusama could be a fun challenge!
I love this channel so much. It is like no other. Thank you Mr. artist.
Thanks, Helga, I love comments like this. Albert

I found your channel while I started a workshop with no experience but your channel made my day and I felt I was very lucky woman 😊 thank you so much
Thanks, Nasrin, for sharing your story. Enjoy making your art, it's the perfect way to get experienced 😉 Albert
I too LOVE SQUARES! My whole life if i am doodling? It’s SQUARES! 😁I really enjoy your Videos, I binge on multiple ones!🤣 Karen, in Michigan
Thanks, Karen. Nice to know I'm not the only one liking squares this much. Albert
You are a great teacher. I love your channel.
Thanks, Bonnie, and thanks for dropping bye. Albert
So interesting. Im inspired yet again from yr video.🙂👍👍👍
Thanks, Andrea, good to hear. All the artwork together looks amazing, don't you think? Enjoy creating, Albert
Thank you for doing a challenge video because it does make me break out of my mould and do do do
Thanks, TJ, for breaking out and participating. It was fun. On to the next one. Albert
Bedankt! Learning a language at my age is een strijd. Art, however, is a language that I can learn, with your hulp.
Thanks, Superfly, some 'languages' are easier (= makkelijker 😉). A word a day can change your life. Just as a painting a day. Albert
Great video and fun to see the participants. I was just too busy to respond this time, but did try the exercise and hopefully try it again in the future when I can get more free time.
Thanks, Culture Fan. Yes, interesting looking artwork. It was fun again. Hopefully, you can join us next time. Albert
Another really inspiring moment. Love the little sponge squares, and the idea of the 5x5 passepartout. Thank you and look forward to new videos.
Thanks, Emmanuel, I apologize, I suddenly realize I forgot to include your painting. I checked twice if i had everyone covered and still forgot yours. Bummer. I hope you will join the next time. Albert

Glad to hear this, Emmanuel, but still it's a shame others have to miss your artwork. Peace, Albert
Thanks Albert! I loved everybody’s take on the squares and also got some inspiration on how to finish a work in progress. ❤
I as well, Franca. Lovely artwork all together. Thanks for participating, always a pleasure. Albert
This is such fun and how super to see the works of those who took up your challenge! 🙌
Thanks, Caroline. Indeed, the challenges are always great for the diversity of artworks. Perhaps you can join the fun next time? Albert
Hi, that’s kind. How would I do that? Take a photo, but how would I get it to you. I’m not on social media. I only use WA.

V many thanks 😃
you just said „squares“ and everybody started to paint - wonderful 😂. Thank you for inspiring us
Thanks for dancing with me. Albert
a+++++It's a good idea.
Thanks, Suwong.
I thought I saw somewhere you asked for samples of work by today. Now I can’t find it.
It's in the Bridget Riley video: ruclips.net/video/o0HWiPMUzK8/видео.html
Hope this is what you're looking for.
Albert
Wonderful Albert! There are never enough SQUARE inspiration videos! Thank you for continuing to share your inspiration and to challenge us. 🫂
Thanks, DC, I just can't help myself. Squares keep popping up. Have fun, Albert
Do you see that on the left of the cut square there is a pink shape that totally looks like a face?
