2.4K views · 109 reactions | In my work I spend way more time on the painting beneath the actual painting. This rich underpainting allows me later in the process to excavate down and introduce colors and textures back into the painting. It is sometimes hard to cover up something you might like but often the sacrifice is worth it. | Nicholas Wilton | Facebook

As an abstract painter, my art focuses on shapes. I love them. Regardless of the kind of art you make, they all incorporate shapes. Creating great, alluring shapes in any art, however, is difficult. What makes one shape better than another? That is what I am talking about today. Have a listen. It turns out it is not so much about the shape, but what is around the shape that makes it so good.

(Nicholas Wilton with Jennie Oppenheimer) How can we learn to recognize and use our intuition when making art? I believe intuition is the cornerstone of all powerful, authentic art. But even so, it can be hard to not only recognize but to trust our intuition. How do we know, what we intuitively know is right? I couldn’t figure this out so I thought I would ask someone who might. Jennie Oppenheimer has deep experience with intuition. She is the founder of Soulio, a company that teaches people how

Towards the end of my Father's life, he lost his momentum to make his Art. I remember when he asked me, "Why keep making art if no one is buying?" It is a common question I hear other artists ask, but I never thought I would hear my Father, an artist who taught me everything I know about keeping momentum in my art practice, ask. At first blush, it is a debilitating thought. Nested within the question, is a feeling of collapse. Maybe it is just better to throw in the towel and stop. Maybe I am wa
