 Hello, artists, visitors, and subscribers. Welcome to Monet Café. I'm artist Susan Jenkins, and today's video is going to be a speed painting of a lesson that I did just for my patrons, and it's all about how to break patterns in our art and create random beauty. I do three paintings from the same reference photo in this, and in the Patreon version of this, I give a lesson on how to do this, and a lot of really interesting information that should help your artwork in general. So if you'd like to become a patron and see the full version, there's the link above, and I will have a clickable link at the end of this video. In the full version, I give a lot of information on my products that I use, my pastels, and my papers, and also I give a demonstration on beautiful randomness in nature. Even though there are patterns, there is order. There is also a spontaneity and randomness that gives it its beauty, and that's what we try to emulate in our artwork. I give examples not only in nature, but how typically our brains want to make things in patterns, and patterns can be mundane, boring, tedious, and how if we break out of those patterns, we can create things that are more beautiful, as in these two examples you just saw. Also, here's a typical pattern, boring, and how if you make it a bit more random and spontaneous, it creates more beauty. Again, another pattern, and what we're trying to do is break out of these typical ways of doing patterns, and create more like nature creates and represents itself so beautifully. So even though this isn't the full version on this Monet Café art channel, I thought you would still enjoy seeing the speed painting, and as always, I learn from watching any painting process myself. So sit back, relax, enjoy the music, and I hope you will try putting more random beauty into your artwork. I was finishing up at this point, and I shared in my Patreon version that I wasn't super happy with my final painting, but I did do two more, and I liked them a lot better. They were really, really spontaneous and free and over-exaggerated, but this was a really fun lesson, and I hope you learned from this. I hope you'll subscribe if you haven't already, and we always have a great time here in Monet Café. So bless you, bless your artwork, and come back often, and as always, happy painting.
