Simply love this painting of your ❤️ 5th element could be space.
Hi and thank you. Yes, space or ether is Aristotle's take on the 5th element. I considered and chose "time" because it was easier for me to see the images in this theme. In any case, it's interesting to challenge your limits and choose something that makes you paint different paintings than the ones you usually paint.
Your painting are brilliant and very unique. Love your work and the colour you use. I have started doing charcole and acrylic sketch's,just loving it. Since i have started painting i seeing all shades of sunset,clouds and and sceneries differently. I have decided that I will take pictures when I go for holiday's i will take pictures and then draw and paint them. Thank you for your 5 point advice, you have given me confidence that one day I will develop my own style and will be proud of it. Thank you for your informative video. Will follow you for inspiration. Bye for now.
Thank you and good luck developing you style. Remember you have one right now, you just need to cultivate it and take it to the next level.

Today, you taught me to first paint in white. Brilliant! That will work very well. Thanks so much!😊
You are welcome.
I just began painting 2 months ago. My paintings are very primitive, but I really enjoy it. Thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement. I also loved the fact that you showed your paintings from when you first started. Wow! You have really progressed into the wonderful painter you are today. Blessings

Dear old guy. I'm over the moon for having discovered your channel which is, by far, the best art channel I've seen. So, from an old guy to another old guy, thank you and keep on inspiring others with your wonderful and inspiring masterpieces!
Dear ToutPsy, Thank you for your comment, I means a lot to me.
Great video, thank you so much for your advice 😊
You are welcome.
Your videos are so valuable 😊 to me! Thank you for explaining proper lighting in an easy to understand manner. I feel like I can now go pick out the proper bulbs. I have been trying to decide how to better organize my studio and your recommendation of having zones is the most practical. Thank you for all of your great advice.
Hi. Best of luck organizing your studio, and thank you for watching.
You are such a good teacher, you have put into words a lot of thoughts I have about my work, I love flowers too and am trying to capture my emotions when enjoying them and nature. I find so much information and encouragement from watching your videos, thank you so much, you really have changed my life ❤
Wow ... thank you. You are too kind. Thank you for watching and good luck with your painting process.
Love your videos. Everything was on point here, I selected each of your colours just as you said them except for Sap Green. I use so much Paynes grey as my dark too. (Pronounced Pains) What are your thoughts on the Phthalo colours?
Hi. Thank you. Why not the Sap green? The phthalo colors are very strongly pigmented. You only use a small amount of it when mixing the colors. I used to use the green Phthalo a lot but moved away from it because it was very powerful. I chose SAP green instead ... the one from Golden is in my opinion the best. I think ,I will give it new chance. They come in different shades. The blue gives very beautiful shades when mixed with, for example, Hansa yellow. They don't have any red in them either, so the green shades are very brilliant. However, the phthalo colors give, I think, a slightly unnatural sheen, you have to be a little careful here, of course depending on what you are painting. As I understand the specifications, the phthalo pigment is not toxic like, for example, the cadmium pigments are, so that speaks in their favor. Try them out and let me hear about your experienses.
Thank you very much for the lesson and you are a wonderful artist.
👍
I usually dislike most abstract art, but I love yours! ❤ They are amazing, unique and very beautiful!! Love your flowers too!!👏👏👏
Thank you.
great, thanks :) can you please tell us more about "the process" you use?
Hi, and thanks. Alle my videos are about my process. Look at e.g. my first video: ruclips.net/video/SkH3Xv8Rhnc/видео.html Enjoy!
All good. I paint with oils and only linseed oil. If I open up a solvent, headache. But I also get a headache from acrylics. Linseed oil is OK but it smells. Ventilation. Some oil paints have other mystery ingredients that can also cause headaches. Anyway, great advice, especially on lighting which I need to improve. And I totally agree having too bright light can cause dark paintings. Been there 🙂
Thank you ... and good luck not getting headaches. I am also a great believer in ventilation.
Love the work.
Thank you.
What does great artists steal mean if good artist borrow
Yes, good question. I think it was something Picasso said to make a joke and tell that he got inspiration and used other artists ideas if they worked for him. Perhaps to borrow something is to admit it: I do like him to get this effect... While stealing, for example if you use the same motif ... copy it ... from another artist and pretend it is your own. But it's only a funny quote from Picasso and I use it to say that you shouldn't be so afraid to copy, it will never be the same anyway: Be inspired and use what works for you... that's the message. I think that's what Picasso meant too.
Great advice. I so enjoyed both your art and guidance.
Thank you for watching.
This taught me so much! Thank you!
You are welcome.
Very important Tutorial
Thank you.
Hi Henrik As a 64 year old taking up painting I love this work. I am attempting to follow your work. Can I ask you a question please. I struggle to get the initial part to make the shapes you need.Are you purposely making bird shapes as you create white space. When I do it I cannot help but try to make bird shapes and it looks forced and doesn’t flow like yours. Any help would be appreciated Stephen in Ireland
Hello Thank you for your comment. I was originally inspired by the flock of birds you see in the video, and I then started with a background. The way I worked in this painting was very wet, and I could scrape the paint off and leave white marks. Yeah, I guess I went for the shape of the bird, but more as a secondary thought. The important thing was to create life on the canvas, I adjusted the bird's shape afterwards. That's the thing about the abstract expression: it doesn't have to look like anything, so don't be dismayed that your birds don't look like birds. Take what you like about your birds and use it, then paint over the rest. Hope you get on with the painting.
I love your style.
Thank you.
great tips, thank u
You are welcome.
Very interesting video, thanks very much. I've been painting my whole life (on and off) and it brings great joy. I really like many of your paintings but the single image that captivated me the most was your granddaughter's painting of the family and when you zoomed in to her painting of you. It's great to see how a child views you and she did a really good job.
Hi and thank you. I have passed on your comment about Klaras painting to her. I just had a glance on your channel .. interesting!
I wish i could watch a thousand vídeos of yours. You explain so well and paint so beautifully. I am an abstract painter and your are inspirational to me. But my style is very different from yours... i am a begginer at 58 years old and a long way ahead to get a little closer to your artworks. Live in brazil. Who were your influencers in art? Thank you so much for this class!❤
Thank you for your nice comment. I was very inspired by Van Gogh and the Impressionists, but my painting slowly changed towards the abstract expression. 58 is no age and you are going to paint a lot of paintings. Each time you have painted one, your technique, your painting process, and your ability to evaluate what you have done (your eye) will improve a little. So keep going and best of luck!
You are an amazing artist.. thank you for your kind and inspiring words. I have something in mind, and your message helps tremendously.
I am very happy to hear that. Thank you for your nice comment.
Your wise words resonate so much. Thank you for being a guiding light for us. I just subscribed. Love your work! 🤩 What is your name may I ask? 💖
Hi Marie Louise My name is Henrik Skorá ... hi ... how are you? Thank you for your kind comment. I just looked at your profile and saw your beautiful pictures. Congratulations! A comment: Why do you write that you are "self taught"? You might be, but does it matter? It's your pictures that count. I say this because some might think that being self-taught is not that "interesting" or "professional" ... take it away ... just an opinion. Kind reg. Henrik
Regarding a child and their art. I recall a Family Circus Cartoon where a little one shows off their drawing art to the older brother and sister and they’re like “what’s that?” dismissively, The mom and dad not knowing what it was says; “oh ..hmm, that’s nice”. But then the little one shows it to grandma and she recognizes it immediately!! “Oh what a fine firetruck and doggy you’ve drawn.” And proceeds to stick it proudly on her fridge. 😊.
Yes, children are very vulnerable to thoughtless criticism.
Wow I found great channel!! Thank you Sir.,
You are welcome!
The painting was lovely at 6 or 7 minutes what you called a "sketchy expression." You should have quit then! Then you worked it to death and made it look hard - like children's' block toys. instead of like nature .And put in blue! Ugh!. The blue ruined it. You use battleship gray blues, which are flat and depressing and in no way resemble sky, except perhaps during a winter storm over the North Sea. Try to get away from your dependence on drab blues. It corrupts so many of your paintings. Your videos are great and very helpful however. It would be helpful if you would discuss the various mediums one can use such as to slow drying time, add gloss and other techniques. Also varnishes. Thanks for these.
Thank you for your comment. It's great that you provide such detailed and constructive criticism. I myself am quite happy with the slightly sketchy look the painting has in the middle of my process, and I have experimented without success to make it work for me in a final painting. As you may know, I continue to paint on the painting until I sell them. However, I myself am very satisfied with the painting as it looks right now. The blue color is in all my paintings. It is the color Indigo, which is my first choice. I'm sorry you find that it ruins the paintings. I painted the blue colors into the right side of the picture to create balance in the composition, and in my view I succeeded very well. I will continuously include how I use the different media in my upcoming videos, which I hope you will enjoy. Thanks for your suggestions.
Better before you put in the blue
Hi and thank you for your comment. Sorry you don't like the choice of blue.
Picasso said, "There is no abstract art. You must always start with something, Afterwards, you can take away all traces of reality." He also said, "Action is the foundational key to all success." So just start. "The chief enemy of creativity is good sense."
Ha, ha ... thank you ... Pablo was a wise man.
I salute you for this courageous video ❤️
Thank you.
Oh Henrik! I do wish you get away from your dependence on dreary, depressing blue. Especially blue and yellow, an ugly color combination, as you yourself discovered when you decided to change out the background color of your painting of birds in flight. Why not pink? Or oranges, the complimentary color,? As of birds flying across a sunrise.? Blue is a depressing color. There's a reason why people say (in English) that they are "blue" when they are sad. It's drab, it's dreary and it's depressing. Branch out! You are so much better when you work in brighter colors.
OK @veritas6335… I will reconsider my use of blue. I have to admit that I really love the color blue and don't find it depressing. If you look at the world of music, the blue feeling in blues music in my view is one of the most fascinating expressions of the last century. The fact that you are blue also means to me that you are in a state where you are also very thoughtful. In a way, I experience the blue as the colour of possibilities. However ... maybe you're right...we'll see what happens in my upcoming pictures...but blue lives in my heart.
Great videos. Best ones out there. By the way, in English the word for a distinctive feature or dominant idea in an artistic composition is motif. Accent on the last syllable. Not motive, which is something else in English. It would be quite a stretch to use the word motive for motif. Good of you to use the beauty ratio. I believe it's technically 1.618.
Thank you for this fine correction. I will be aware of this in the future. Thanks for helping me making my videos better.
Thank you
You are welcome.
Picasso said, "I believe in inspiration, but it must find you working." Meaning of course, don't wait around for inspiration to strike to motivate you to begin work. It will never arrive. Just get to work. Inspiration will find YOU. It happens in the doing of it. If you keep that thought in mind, it will help you get off your backside and go to work.
I completely agree. Thank you for your comment.
Holy Spirit 5th element?
Ha, ... thank you!
I love fashion design...been wanting to incorporate that into paintings. A bit scary.
👍
I love painting murals in people' houses. Now being 75 , I'm resorted to canvas. Very different. Pushing on.
Keep going! 75 and I am 71 ... not yet painted any murals.
Love you painting and style!. I'm 75, and can copy almost anyone, BUT MY OWN STYLE seems elusive.
Finding your own style is mainly by working. Stop looking too much on what other painters are doing, if you have trouble finding your own expression. Also remember that style is something that evolves all the time
