What Emotions do I feel about a Piece?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Art isn’t just something you see—it’s something you feel. This piece explores the emotional connection between artist and artwork, diving into the range of reactions a single piece can spark, from joy and excitement to frustration and introspection.
Through color, expression, and personal reflection, it highlights how every work of art carries a deeper emotional story—both for the creator and the viewer.

SPEAKER_00Okay, have a question. What emotion or idea do I want the viewer to feel before I ever pick up any brushes? What a great question. What emotion or idea do I want the people that are viewing the actual creation to feel? Before I even play with the brushes. And I think when I pick out a canvas, and let's pick out a smaller one, let's say it's 20 inch by 16 inch, 20 inch wide by 16 inch high. And I already have like an idea or a concept in my head. And uh let's say I'm I'm thinking, you know what? Let's start playing with the skies, and let's start crafting in and let's start painting in the sky. And let's use several blues and several blue mixes, and let's trace in some yellow into that, and let's put some white as a cloud effect, and let's you know put a lot of paint on the canvas and back and forth and using a lot of brushwork. Now, let's say that section, that piece of the canvas is coming together. I've already have an idea of where I want to go. You know what? This would be beautiful with several trees. This would be beautiful with uh birds in the sky. This would be beautiful with the sun uh shining in. This would be beautiful with offset lights. This would be great with some landscape in there and bushes and some uh lower level trees and branches and and bringing to life the branches with some colored leaves and so forth. So I'm already putting the image and the logic together as as I'm bringing in the paint. So, you know, what emotion or idea? It's designing a piece that brings people in that they're gonna look at and say, wait a minute, I gotta take another look at that. I've got I have to I have to see that a little bit closer. I gotta see these these different changes in the colors and the different mixes and everything else. And so I think that's important when you're thinking about uh emotion and your ideas and uh what I want the viewer to see. So I think that's important.
