5/16/08 Painting Du Jour - Night Light

[april8901]

Your paint seems to spread so easily, is that because you are working with oils? I've been working with acrylics and cannot seem to get the same fluidity.... Also how might you go about thinning out the top layer enough to be transparent? Is that also a trait of oils? I love your Peinture Du Jour's!

[mesofun]

I let the first layer dry, then painted a thinned out layer over top. when it dries it becomes transparent. Good Luck and thanks for commenting.

hi! how did you make the "foggy" effect? i thought covering it would paint away the trees.. what is the secret? thanks!

[ContradictingMember]

what did you put on it to make it blend was it just a shade/coat of gray?????? or what, bc it was well blended and you were still able to see the trees how did u do it?

[fireflowr2]

they were oils. I didn't add anything, i just painted fast. it took me about an hour to lay that coat.

[Dharmadejavu]

Well done. . .

[mesofun]

Thanks for watching!

[CapricornArtist73]

I really like how you constructed the background, the trees and the placement of the dark tones in the work...just beautiful Elliott. BUT honestly (and this is just my own opinion) I'm not convinced by the hanging light!... I get the idea though! Very cool to watch you paint!

[mesofun]

I love that you are up front. Thanks!

[ziggurini]

beautiful work.yousofun.peace.j.

[mesofun]

Thanks my friend!

[omniscientmoon77]

It's lovely, Elliot. I love watching you paint. Mist rocks! I like what you did at the end of the video with the flash of all those photos... Cool! :o) Have a happy weekend.

[mesofun]

Hi , Thanks for taking the time to watch!

[Cibola000]

Silly me, I neglected to let you know how I liked it! It is truly magnificent in its entirety. The trees in the distant fog make a great feature. Thanks for uploading.

[Cibola000]

Yes, different indeed. But new is good, variety is the.. steak of life, right?

[pukeythief]

Amazing approach. He doesn't just paint beautiful houses and autumn scenery then..

Tut tut tut I am officially jealous.

[mesofun]

Then...? Then..? what AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! you left him hanging? then what?

:(

[pukeythief]

Well then you produce a masterpiece consisting of a street lamp and some fog and branches yet it somehow still makes me very emotional and holds powerful meaning! And its just prettyfulness because thats a word.

I shared this one by the way. Not that I had many friends to share with hehe Oh my goodness post the comment you shit. Not you sir the thing

[debcoart]

EB, I love to watch you paint. This painting is incredible!!! 5*

Yep, I have had some problems with the reply button this week, too.......

[artmemoirs]

This one came out really good. You get this serious look when you concentrate. LOL.

[mesofun]

I take this all VERY VERY ... something... really...I Do I mean IT!!!!!!

[mesofun]

4 real doh!

[ArtistiChicana]

very Good, painting that Old Fashioned Light. Its Great how you Got that Effect on the tree limbs. Elliott, Slow down the other photos...I wanna See them, OK. Seems like it was you on Vacation with Family? Who's that Cute little boy? ARtistiChicana, Tomorrow I make my Next Video...Plausible I hope.

[mesofun]

They are meant to go fast to kind of tease you. This painting is inspired from a trip to Tuscany in November. The photo's were from the trip. The idea is that it's remarkable how we focus on the simplest of things during such a big event like this. Thanks for watching. Feel free to share this with others. I would like to get some new friends like you this time. :)

[mesofun]

Kind of you? I had to get "some " sleep. I am setting up the gallery for the DHS high school art show.

You likey video?

I like you breast cancer video. great all around. Thanks!

[goldfishparakeet45]

Wow! I know wow is a cliche', but it's what I said, so I wrote it down. Amazing misty effect with the streetlight. Dickensian feeling. I'm favoriting this one so I can learn from it.

--Ben

p.s. thanks for the review of "Tailcast Heart"!

[mesofun]

What? wait, AHHH what did I miss!!!!????

Why do I always not see what you are talking about?

Ok I'll favorite it as well. Maybe I'll go back and try to learn something.

Thanks again. :)

[teresaprevo]

Awesome painting once again! Lovely work Elliott. Thanks for sharing.

Not trying to be dramatic. I'm sure you understand.
