Our Painted Lives

Wednesday, May 27th, 2020

Esteemed figurative painter, Nicolas Uribe, along with his partner Dani, have created a Youtube channel called “Our Painted Lives”. The aim of the channel is to present painting as a habitual act, something that can be incorporated into our everyday lives, regardless of what artistic level you’re at. 5 days a week, Nicolas paints an image, and posts the entire process to Youtube. The channel is a treasure trove of brilliant demos.

More information about ‘Our Painted Lives’ can be found on their website: http://www.ourpaintedlives.com, where they also sell each and every painting they create at a remarkably affordable price.

    HIs videos are great, no matter the medium. Some of the challenges he gives himself, like this week’s one value exercise is tough! Great post, you should get him on as a guest blogger.
