Great work and technique I'm also starting to sell my artwork after my enlistment. I don't know what the other commenter was about, but I certainly can see soul and emotion in your work. Semper fi.

[InsightOutUnlimited]

Love your paintings!

[PeetaAndMockingjay]

WOW!!

that's all i can say

i wish i could be a fantastic artist like that 

[yutzr]

I'm 15 and i'm really into painting. Do you have any tips for young people? I LOVE all your videos and I am truly inspired of your art!

[Merces69]

i like them all!!!

[LARISADUENDE]

I admire anyone who produces substance of creativity for this World definitely needs it, but when a work of Art is created with soul, then there is no doubt in the mind of the observer.

Here, have a look at this other Artist of which accompanies you down the same road of expressionism and I hope my words can strike some meaning to you. link: Jonas Gerard (youtube).

Please continue creating and never let words of criticism discourage you, only motivate to evolve.

All the best,

Sebastien.

[LARISADUENDE]

I hope you can accept a little criticism (sometimes it´s not generally always healthy receiving bland feedbacks of which lack profundity and personality), but there´s something about your works that lack genuine soul. You have good techniques, but through your decisions in the applying them, there is something definitely missing.

[micashift123]

Wow !! superb color combination !!!

[josereyeselboss]

[TheLaura1655]

Are you using acrylic ? Is it liquid form acryl.?

[pdranitsin]

@TheLaura1655 no just "basics"

[minamuska]

WOW!

[pdranitsin]

@minamuska thank you

[dezdenzelwil05]

Amazing art.. Did you use some form of hammer for the border? And what kind of acrylic paint did u use?

[pdranitsin]

@dezdenzelwil05 it was woodgraining tool

[Fash3124]

Absolutely beautiful art.. Do you use a sponge or towel to dab the paint for that blend look and is it wet or dry?

[pdranitsin]

@Fash3124 I use sponge and usually it is wet

[a10fjet]

THIS is why you dont go to school for art.

Youre awesome!

[pdranitsin]

@a10fjet thank you :D

[MetalFreaksOutxD]

How do you do it? I mean, do you just paint something spontaneously or do you have something in mind before you start?

Because I love to paint, but I feel like I need to know what to paint before I start.

[pdranitsin]

@MetalFreaksOutxD Honestly to say in most cases I just begin to paint with blank mind and come up with something as I go along. Thank you for asking :)

[liliana12121000]

@artistsgalore thank you for watching

[1969Chronos]

You are a genius, man. It's incredible the folding effect in some of the paintings. In others the colors radiate emotional energy with the clever juxtaposition of bright hues with darker ones. Then the randomness of the black lines over dominant color of the backgrounds brings the compositions to life by creating overlapping planes.

[pdranitsin]

@1969Chronos thank you so much for your comments and feedback!

[tntchef]

Hello Peter, Good Job man!!!! Are these canvas with Acrylic???

[pdranitsin]

@tntchef yes thank you

[MikhaelsMom1]

Hi Peter, I have enjoyed and been inspired by you......i have a question....what kind of sponge is that you are using to blend?.....i cant really see it in your hand. I have tried with a regular square sponge...it looks horriable. thanks again

[pdranitsin]

@MikhaelsMom1 Thank you so much for your comments! I use regular sponge that you would use for dish-washing :)

[reidnet]

Nice work.

[pdranitsin]

@reidnet thank you

[enigmaticfille]

What is it you use to prevent your paints from drying too fast. I always have a problem with that.

[pdranitsin]

@enigmaticfille I use plenty of water

[Pataricprsn98]

ive always loved to do ink drawing-style abstract work, but i love the bright colors of acrylic paint. After watching your vids im REALLY inspired to give it a shot! thanks!

[pdranitsin]

@Pataricprsn98 you welcome!

[3eneboy]

Do you have a general plan or layout for your work, or even a colour scheme? or do you just go in randomly and hope for a "happy accident" ?

[pdranitsin]

@3eneboy I usually have a blurry idea but it changes in the painting process because I always think of something else to add or remove.

[super18071967]

[pdranitsin]

@super18071967 Thank you!

[pdranitsin]

@martfran Good luck and thank you!

[yougotstyle]

wow! absolutely amazing art work...i started painting about 2 years ago and my style is very much like your own, i try not to focus on making the painting too precise, adopting a more free and expressive approach. less is definately more and when you said that, i just thought, yeah wow!! thats me...im the type of person that has never had any training but never needed any. i find it very exciting to be able to relate and learn from what looks to me to be a true artist. amazing stuff! ben

[pdranitsin]

@yougotstyle Thank you so much Ben! I will check out your art as well to see what you are creating as well :)

[yougotstyle]

@pdranitsin hey no problem...i dont actually have anything up here but will do soon hopefully. :)

[JudiG]

Pete, thank you for your postings. I'm trying to loosen up my method of painting and your videos help tremendously!

[pdranitsin]

@JudiG Great! thank you for sharing!

[Hassahan10]

why is the colour so wet is it oil or acryl?

[pdranitsin]

@Hassahan10 acrylic thank you for asking

[MrsOramakomaburamako]

the most i like was the bleu city :D

[pdranitsin]

@MrsOramakomaburamako Great!

[answers365]

Your art is good. You make it look simple and to you it probably is easy. I know from experience that there is talent required and a person either has it or not. Your comment "less is more" is so true. The biggest mistake I made in the beginning was making mud (I used oils). Acrylics are superior to oils in my opinion. Thanks again and I learn a lot by watching your videos.

[pdranitsin]

@answers365 Thank you so much for such a great comment!

[farnaz11]

amazing work, stunning!
