It depends really, though I usually listen to music if I'm painting inside. Occasionally I like to work on location with friends/people around, but it's easier to focus if I'm alone.
Wow uve just inspired me to do more colourful drawings as i havent done so in a while and i like to do the same thing as u have done with ur paintings and that is outline it in black as i think that it brings out the painting more, Nice job :-)
Congrats on the new home and studio! That's just awesome!
Have I harrassed you yet on this video? I don't think so...so here's where I say *Drool* You're gorgeous! *hahaha*
Now that we have buisness out of the way (Har har har) I seriously wanted to say that everytime you post up your videos like this it honestly makes me smile from ear to ear...you're about the only person I've ever just watched paint and it absolutely made me feel happy!
Wow. I wish I had a mind like yours and thought like you do. You are brilliant. Like really, where do you come up with ideas like this? This is amazing, just like everything else you do. Gahh. I think I'm in love. :]
thats what i thought like i do stuff like that tto but nothing on your level but i never no what im doning till im done my stuff's decent its nothing like yours ill try to some my art up may b u can mentor me or somthin if its kool with you, btw is that picture u drew on any website or somthing? i want it as my wallpaper thats sick dude
did I not comment on this before? anyways I love watching the whole process... I'm sad to say that its very hard for me to get inspired (with painting anyway) but these vids always help A LOT. seriously... anyways congrats on getting a studio!! I wish I had some space to work in..
Oh how I wish this was up for auction! I got squashed in the new life auction a while ago... but this one <3 I love it. It is something special for sure. Btw, what is your Ebay User name? So I can keep tabs if there is anything for sale!
i would have commented when this first came out for reason it didn't show up in my sub box! grrr.
it's such a wonderful, vibrant painting, Paul. and the edit tells a beautiful story of it's creation.
i don't know if you've named your studio yet. but the first thing that came to mind is the House of Cheek. probably a lame name but that's what first came to.
you can't understand how much i love watching you paint. its fun seeing what it all adds up to. it's like watching evolution or watching somebody growing up.
oh i love it. i love the way the rainbow is coupled with the background - with the lila stripes. i also love how it's all centered. it all points at the way, at the middle... you inspired me, i haven't drawn in a long time and i really feel like drawing now. have you found a name yet?
good, i only had too little time on my hands lately, missed a lot of your vids, i'll have to compensate that later (but not now, i'm gonna make a drawing now, yey me) can't even tell you how much i missed drawing.
i went through the comments, there were some really cool suggestions. you defo should think about considering the rainbow and the path when choosing the name :)
off to drawing now and you'll soon see more comments from me ;)
Once again Paul it is so enjoyable to see your creativity!!!! Glad to know all is well and enjoy your new home.....the very best to you!!! Andrea :-) Tammpon's Mom
A channel that many things pass through. Commonly used in describing the metal tubes that electrical wires are run through. It is quite possible that I spelled it wrong.
beautifully done, Paul! I have been away from youtube for a while, so watching this as one of the first in a long time, was excellent, and just what I needed to see. It reminded me what you can do with this site, if you make an effort. :)
It's so interesting, and I always see your paintings as bright and sunny! Not sure of a title for it.... I think because it's like 90 degrees F in this room right now... (pants like a dog!) :o) How's the weather in London? Are you now in london? Didn't you say that to me? :o)
Wow! That painting is really beautiful!! And it took 10 hours.. wow, that's a really long time. But it is great! I'd buy it if I saw it in a gallery!! ^_^
That was really lovely. I almost wish it was longer though. Ever think of doing anything longer form? It might be fun to do some kind of collab and maybe include a musician. As usual I'm thinking I should drop you a pm...maybe I'll actually do it this time. I hope that you are well and that your summer is going nicely.
hey! I was originally gonna make this one around 6 minutes, but I fear that I won't hold viewers' attention spans with longer videos.. Personally, I've found my attention span has evaporated somewhat. Perhaps I caught it off Nalts. :]
Oh, and I guess this is a collab, as Jeff said I could make videos using his music... which was very kind indeedy :D
why do you paint over another art piece when you make another one? i like how everything connects in the art it points at some pivotal point, really neat.:D
Thanks snoopop.. My housemate collected a few free canvases from a website called freecycle.. where people give away stuff they don't want. I wanted to include the original in the video so it wasn't lost forever :]
wow thats so good! I wish i could being that artistical (i'm sure thats a word), there'd be no way i could fail my art gcse then lol if you ever want to get me a birthday present a painting would do :P jokes lol
Has the painting been sold? Will trade or pay.
