Do you want to improve your creativity or art skills? Hop on board and discover how taking a better look at art, yourself and the world around you can help you. I believe it's the best way to improve your creative skills.
New video every other Sunday.
I often paint in the style of an artist and show their artwork and why I find it interesting to look at. I show you how I make my own art in their style and what I use as an inspiration, often simple things I see in every day life.
Everybody can learn how to paint! The first action is to lower the bar. Forget about perfect, forget about the image in your head. Just start making Imperfact Paintings, have fun and pay close attention to what happens on the canvas or paper you paint on. Paint, observe, enjoy, learn and improve.
Take up your brush and join us on our journey. Love to hear from you in the comments.

Mark Making Collage
Mark Making is fun to do, just as Collage. Can these be two also be combined for more fun? I try to find my answer and make several pieces to look at the subject from different sides.

I can think of a dozen paintings and how they will look like. But when I don't start painting, they will never see the light of day. So doing and making is the solution. And when I do make one of them, it always looks different because along the way unexpected things happen. So only doing is the solution.

I liked the 2nd print. I hope you have enjoyed your summer break.
Thanks TJ. Yes, I certainly did. It was a working holiday, we now have a new kitchen. Great. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings how lovely
Hi Albert sorry I have been missing in action , I’m just catching up with all your videos . I’m loving this one as it’s opening my creativity channel.
I had a big smile while watching the video, many... many thanks again for sharing 😊
Thanks, Julia. Was there anything particularly making you smile? I'd love to hear. Albert
Exploring like a chid, curious, with joy 😊
Thanks Julia. Exactly that. Have a wonderful day, Albert
Wow what an opening quote.
Thanks, type of healing.
Esto es basura.
Thanks Albert, you combine theory Art and practice plus experimentation in a meaningfull way
Thanks, Julia. I just love your play like this. Albert
Thanks for your Videos, studying other artists is so valuable, inspiring and playfull
Thanks, Julie. I learn a lot as well, it's all about observations and doing. And fun to do. Albert
Thank you for sharing your process of creating in Clyfford Still’s style. As I explore abstract painting and search for my own style, seeing your work inspired by his approach really sparks my imagination. I’m still figuring out what my unique style will be, but I hope to one day tell stories through my paintings that resonate with others and ignite their creativity. P.S. I’m planning to visit the Clyfford Still Museum on my next trip to Denver.
Thanks, Swiss. Just know whatever you paint is, in my opinion, always 'you' even when working in someone else's style. Look at cubism, they all resemble or relate, but all are unique. Just in other styles. Forget your goal, just paint and have fun. Before you know it you'll be there. Perhaps you have arrives already. Enjoy visiting Denver. Happy painting, Albert.
Thank you. This video has been very helpgul.
Thanks, Marta. I'm glad I could help. Happy painting in a new style. Albert
Burri sounds Albanian??!
Italian
@@ImperfectPaintings I meant the name Burri in Albanian means "Man".
Thanks, get it.
Thanks!
Thanks, Ingrid, for your support. Albert
Very inspiring! ❤
Thanks, Julie. It's easy, just start doing whatever. Enjoy, Albert

Thanks, Elweedo. I hope the examples spark your own creativity. Enjoy, Albert
Super as always!

Thanks, MultiCamillaaaa. Enjoy playing like this. Albert
I love your way of explaining things.
Thanks, Diane. Happy painting, Albert
Thank you Albert for your latest inspiring video. I look forward to your return on UA-cam in September and wish you a most enjoyable summer! Take care Eliane
Thanks, Eliane. Happy painting, Albert
your tips are the best school for building self-confidence
Thanks, Ma Na.
Thank you for being wonderful person and teacher 🥹🥹you inspired me and I will work on each of your videos accordingly 🥹THANK YOUU GLAD THAT WE HAVE SOMEONE LIKE YOU IN THIS PLATFORM 🙏🏼
Thanks, Ebrar. Happy painting, Albert
Loved this so much. Going to try it for sure.
Thanks, Dharini. Enjoy creating. Albert
I love love love it! As always! Thank you and enjoy yourselves!
Thanks, Deb. We are having a good time. Albert
What if you placed your template/collage underneath clear plexiglass and painted the lines on the plexiglass, then pulled the print? Better yet-use a gel plate.
Thanks, Dawna, for naming a few alternative options. Always handy. Albert
Great video. Thanks.
Thanks, Maggie.
I love the way you talk in your videos. You are very soothing and sound like a very sweet, open-minded person <3
Thanks, M, positive words are always a joy to receive. Happy painting, Albert
Trees are my favorite for painting and you have helped with this ..Thankyou
Thanks, Cally. Good to hear. Happy painting, Albert
Ill bet your wife aaid, " get that junk out of my livingroom!" Just kidding. It actually looks sharp. You have a great eye for things. You have the ability that not everyone has, to see the beauty in the trash. I will have to shift my mind a little and keep an open mind. I am always thinking of mark making tools, everywhere I go. Thankbyou again
Thanks, Diana. Actually, you're quite right about the 'not in my livingroom'. Luckily we have another room I can use for my artmaking. And indeed, it's about seeing. But unfortunately you only can see it once you 'get it'. There's no trash, only materials. Happy painting.
Wow! You are an amazing artist. Thank you for teaching all of your great ideas. I learn so much from you.
My pleasure, Diane. Anyone can do this. Just take the time to actually do it. It's a fun exercise. Albert
wishing you a fabulous & relaxing summer vacation! looking forward to your return in september.
Thanks, Robin. Same to you. Albert

Thanks for sharing, Hart.
What if you blind fold yourself when mark making...it would totally be random at that point!
Thanks, Hart. I thought so myself, some time ago, but it surprised me, when I tried once myself, how much awareness i still have available about te position of the paper, my brush and so on. Changing hands and eyes open was a way more interesting experience. See for yourself, it's very interesting to investigate thoughts like yours and give it a try. A valuable experience. Let me know what happened. Albert
Wonderful!!!
Thanks, Hart.
I was looking at collage this week too. That and assemblage are hard to define that specifically as they are so open to interputation. I would guess the artist that made the work would have the final call on that. But yeah, I like both types of art. Thank, enjoy the summer.
Thanks, Culture Fan. That's what I like in collage: it's hard to define. It leaves room to ponder or to take a detour. Have a good summer as well. Albert
Thanks, Albert! Buone vacanze 😀
Thanks, Franca.
Thank you, Albert! This was a fun video with interesting looking results. Have a wonderful summer, I look forward to your UA-cam return in September!
Thanks, My3babies. Have a wonderful one yourself as well. Albert

Thanks, Connie, good to hear. Happy summer and see you later. Albert
Leuke video opnieuw Albert. Misschien zijn de volgende kunstenaars wel iets: Jef Verheyen Yves Klein Groetjes Marc België
Bedankt, Marc. En bedankt voor de suggesties. Yves Klein, staat al op mijn lijstje. Jeff Verheyen heb ik erbij gezet, interessant. Albert
@@ImperfectPaintings ik was op bezoek in het KMSKA tentoonstelling van Jef Verheyen..... vooral zijn monochrome zwarte, rode en witte schilderijen .... super vooral die glazing techniek vind ik boeiend
Bedankt, Marc. Ja ik heb iets met monochromen, vaak komen kunstenaars ieder via een andere route daarbij aan. Intrigerend. Albert
Merci Albert pour cette nouvelle video fraiche, inspirante et ludique. Je dirais que votre demarche est : peinture-collage libre spontanée 😊 Excellent été a vous et votre famille 🎉 ! A bientôt ! Daniela
Merci, Daniela. It feels free to play like this. See you in a few weeks. Albert
Another great video, Albert ! 🙏Hope you have a lot of summer holiday fun and a good rest. Looking forward to your return with lots more art making possibilities. 😊
