Painting Light and Shadow Shapes 2 David M. Kessler Fine Art 2021-12-07 | In this second video on painting light and shadow shapes, I use a vertical format on gessoed 300lb Fabriano Artistico Watercolor Paper. I'm trying to use two values - one representing the light shapes and another representing the shadow shapes. It's a very interesting process and have always loved it. I painted this way in watercolor for several years before I moved to acrylic abstracts. This is the first time I have experimented with this type of painting in acrylic.Here is the blog post for this video: davidmkessler.com/blog/2021/11/29/painting-light-and-shadow-shapes-2The Best Way to Connect with Me is thru my EMAIL LIST (and you'll get a free ebook): david-kessler.mykajabi.com/20-ways-ebook-opt-in-1Online Workshops: davidmkessler.com/online-coursesJoin Me for a Live Painting Workshop:davidmkessler.com/painting-workshops"Simple Color System" Color Wheel:davidmkessler.com/color-wheel/david-m-kesslers-simple-color-system-color-wheelMy Studio Materials:Paint: GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylic PaintBrushes: Natural Bristle: Blick Gesso Brushes from Dick Blick in 2", 2.5" and 3"My Workhorse Natural Bristle Brush: Escoda Clasico #24 (2")Nylon Bristle: Raphael Sepia Brushes, size 50 (2") from Jerry's ArtaramaCanvas: 1.5" deep Gallery Wrapped - various manufacturersPaper: Fabriano Artistico Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper 300lbYou Can Get a List of All My Materials and Paint Colors HERE:david-kessler.mykajabi.com/davids-materials-listT-Shirts & Merch: If you like the shirt I'm wearing, you can get one (and others) here:teespring.com/stores/david-m-kessler-fine-artWebsite: davidmkessler.comInstagram: instagram.com/davidmkesslerfineartFacebook: facebook.com/davidmkesslerfineartDavid is a Nationally Recognized Contemporary Painter, Workshop Instructor, Author of the book "Bigger, Faster, Fresher, Looser Abstract Painting Workbook" and founder of Abstract Painting Academy.youtu.be/bdQ9rQvNSxY
Painting Light and Shadow Shapes David M. Kessler Fine Art 2021-11-30 | Painting in only two values - in this case the value of light and the value of shadow - gives you lots of practice in making good shapes for your paintings. Shapes are one of the main building blocks of painting design, and it takes lots of practice to get good at making them. I usually paint buildings for this type of exercise because I find good shapes in them. I go in depth on this topic in the blog post linked below.Here is the blog post for this video: davidmkessler.com/blog/2021/11/24/painting-light-and-shadow-shapesThe Best Way to Connect with Me is thru my EMAIL LIST (and you'll get a free ebook): david-kessler.mykajabi.com/20-ways-ebook-opt-in-1Online Workshops: davidmkessler.com/online-coursesJoin Me for a Live Painting Workshop:davidmkessler.com/painting-workshops"Simple Color System" Color Wheel:davidmkessler.com/color-wheel/david-m-kesslers-simple-color-system-color-wheelMy Studio Materials:Paint: GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylic PaintBrushes: Natural Bristle: Blick Gesso Brushes from Dick Blick in 2", 2.5" and 3"My Workhorse Natural Bristle Brush: Escoda Clasico #24 (2")Nylon Bristle: Raphael Sepia Brushes, size 50 (2") from Jerry's ArtaramaCanvas: 1.5" deep Gallery Wrapped - various manufacturersPaper: Fabriano Artistico Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper 300lbYou Can Get a List of All My Materials and Paint Colors HERE:david-kessler.mykajabi.com/davids-materials-listT-Shirts & Merch: If you like the shirt I'm wearing, you can get one (and others) here:teespring.com/stores/david-m-kessler-fine-artWebsite: davidmkessler.comInstagram: instagram.com/davidmkesslerfineartFacebook: facebook.com/davidmkesslerfineartDavid is a Nationally Recognized Contemporary Painter, Workshop Instructor, Author of the book "Bigger, Faster, Fresher, Looser Abstract Painting Workbook" and founder of Abstract Painting Academy.youtu.be/nGGNTAr8piU

The Painting of Pieces of a Dream David M. Kessler Fine Art 2021-07-12 | Almost every painting video I post has been heavily edited to shorten the painting process and add a bit of music. This video is different. I am showing the entire process - uncut - with the exception of a couple of segments where I spent time looking at the painting. Everything else is in real time and shows how long I spent painting this 30x30x1.5" canvas (just over 11 minutes). It's a triadic color combination of red-violet (dominant), blue-green (non-dominant) and yellow-orange (accents).Here is the blog post for this video: davidmkessler.com/blog/2021/7/9/the-painting-of-pieces-of-a-dreamThe Best Way to Connect with Me is thru my EMAIL LIST (and you'll get a free ebook): david-kessler.mykajabi.com/20-ways-ebook-opt-in-1Online Workshops: davidmkessler.com/online-coursesJoin Me for a Live Painting Workshop:davidmkessler.com/painting-workshops"Simple Color System" Color Wheel:davidmkessler.com/color-wheel/david-m-kesslers-simple-color-system-color-wheelMy Materials:Paint: GOLDEN Heavy Body Acrylic PaintBrushes: Natural Bristle: Blick Gesso Brushes from Dick Blick in 2", 2.5" and 3"Nylon Bristle: Raphael Sepia Brushes, size 50 (2") from Jerry's ArtaramaPaper: Fabriano Artistico Cold Pressed Watercolor Paper 300lbYou Can Get a List of All My Materials and Paint Colors HERE:david-kessler.mykajabi.com/davids-materials-listT-Shirts & Merch: If you like the shirt I'm wearing, you can get one (and others) here:teespring.com/stores/david-m-kessler-fine-artWebsite: davidmkessler.comInstagram: instagram.com/davidmkesslerfineartFacebook: facebook.com/davidmkesslerfineartDavid is a Nationally Recognized Contemporary Painter, Workshop Instructor, Author of the book "Bigger, Faster, Fresher, Looser Abstract Painting Workbook" and founder of Abstract Painting Academy.youtu.be/syX2MJgbkoY
