Really cool painting and you did awesome on those feet! Thanks for sharing.

I’m always in awe of the artist’s brain and how they visualize these masterpieces and bring their visions to life

About halfway through the video I realized my mouth was hanging open because there were so many intricate steps. I'm so happy you explained why you did each one. Your pieces are like complex musical compositions that can only be appreciated fully when you know how many and what kind of instruments are involved and how they fit together (I listen to Nightwish - symphonic metal - my statement makes so much more sense if you know their music). To see the piece being assembled makes it that much more exquisite. And I'm not using that word lightly - it is exquisite. ❤

Girlfriend!!! This is amazing, I'm sooo inspired by this video!! WOW, I LOVE IT, THANKS FOR SHARING !

I had to give up painting 40 years ago due to work commitments, since retiring I have been looking around for a phrase to crystallise my work.Not only have supplied it ,but you are also a practical inspiration.Thank you , from the UK.

This is incredible. The bird feet were actually the part of the painting that caught my eye initially - soo good. Amazing work!

This was freaking AWESOME! I loved it all. ❤❤❤

This was a stunning painting. I loved each process and you talking through why you would do certain things and what your thoughts were as you did them. Brilliant

Love ❤️ gave me a push to get back into the easel

Beautiful piece! A lot of time and technique.

absolutely mind-blowing! you are so talented... my mouth was open too as I watched you build layers while using different paints and tools! good time lapse, great narration. I am lower than a beginner, I recently painted a 5 x 7 inch acrylic painting of a daisy field for my mom & I was pretty impressed with myself😂😂good times👍🏻

You are really an awesome artist and great teacher. Pure talent is such a gift. I made a porcelain Raven doll in a cage and love her story i made up for an article. The words "I Know why the Caged Bird Sings" by Maya Angelou was my inspiration. Your inspirations are so apparent in your work. Your perkey attitude is up lifting and love your humor.

Oh wow. I am in love with this!!!

Stunning work. Congratulations

Thank you so much I love your tutorials!

Love your confidence when adding more colors and points of interest.

I love ravens and crows, too. This turned out amazing!

Love it, love it, love it!

It's fascinating watching you work. The artwork came out really cool. I love the orange glow, it's a colour I'm drawn too I find.

Those colors!!!! What a fantastic image.

Love your illustration video.... your artwork wow me

Thank you for sharing!! Fantastic techniques!! Sure some people dont like the crow or the script or whatever... I'm the same with what I do, I like what I like... grungy textures with no subject matter.

This is a far cry from anything I would paint, but I love it! What a process, and well worth it.

Very very nice!!!! Enjoyed and learned alot.

Awesome! Very intriguing and inspiring video. I look forward to playing with some modeling paste and sand. Great job on this piece, and fantastic bird feet!

Absolutely mesmorising video. I loved the finished effect. I wish I had that talent.

Great job...very nice..and usefull tips and guidence. Thanks!

Very greatfull artwork👍exzellent👌

I was stuck on how to create a commissioned space scene. Then I saw this! Love, love, love these techniques. Thanks for the video!!

Thank you for simplifying & demystifying these art processes so they're available to everyone 🎨🖌💖

Absolutely brilliant!

love this so much!!! the painting turned out incredible and this was a super enjoyable and informative video, thank you!

OMG you are blowing my mind❤

I love it

Phenomenal! I have a photo I took many years ago of an old, craggily dead tree with about 50 crows sitting in it. It's a silhouette shot and I've always wanted to paint it but I didn't have the right idea or inspo until now! Thank you for posting. This is beautiful and I can't wait to try this technique!

Hi, Linda. Nice color coordination, color that some people don't like, you make it look so awesome. I found a brunt sienna once that someone threw away. Now I know how I can use it, I like Brunt Sienna color. Thank you.

I am beyond envious... xoxox

wonderful painting....💐

6am and I just found your channel, boy am I glad I typed the word "crow" in with mixed media, I am crow crazy, live on a farm in West Virginia with my horses, dog Maggie and seven cats, love watercolor but want to branch out into exactly what I just watched you do, I absolutely love this piece of art, it is stunning and I will be following you. So amped up to find someone who is doing what I have had in my mind for a couple years now but couldn't even explain it to myself. Thanks so much for your interesting and teachable video. You are good. Rita

I am 100% whole heartedly in live with this painting! Dark teal and warm sunset colors is my favorite color combination.

Wow wow wow you are incredibly talented! What a beautiful work of art!

I love Crows, period. Brilliant idea and vision! Stunningly perfect in every way! You just gave me a bazillion ideas. Thank you

soooooo cool!

Wow what talent you have. It’s absolutely amazing.

What a cool paining !!

WOW! I’m so glad KZfaq recommended your channel! Your artwork is incredible and so interesting! New subscriber! ❤️

Absolutely amazing

Stunning! And thank you for sharing your drawing process. Love the palette and all the texture, and putting "illusion" backwards was a great idea for this piece. 😍

This is absolutely beautiful! And (tur-koyz) is one of my favorite colors! Yes I’m OCD about pronunciation. I’ve never heard anyone so mispronounce that word. lol. But this truly is a very cool piece.

I watch lots of art related videos and this masterclass in abstract realism is fabulous. You demonstrated and explained your process very clearly, but you also showed artistic flair, skills, and a level of mastery that comes from innate talent and years of practice. Thank you for sharing. You now have a new subscriber.

I love this piece!

Thanks!...i love your tutorial.💖💖💝

Love it!! I love crows, bloody intelligent!! Great painting, colours, composition, mood, everything!!👌

Most fitting background music ever ! Well done ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

So strong color painting, and I'm mad for Crow! I fall inlove for this, I'm jealous of this ^^. Thanks to sharing your work process. I'll follow you France from.

Outstanding- thanks for sharing

That was FUN to watch! I've painted bird feet, too. Grrr! I'm sending this video to my husband. He loves to paint things that just come from his head. He also loves chunky paint. Gaffrey is one of his favorite artists. He'll love this.

Well, the art’s a beaut and your narration’s a hoot. I thoroughly enjoyed your video. Thanks!

Wow You are AMAZING! I love it! ❤

Oh wow, I just came across your channel, so damn happy I did. Corvids are my favourite birds, I'm surrounded by crows all day long 😊❤ This is just so beautiful, really, really beautiful. I'd be so proud to have this on my wall, above my lounge with my crow cushions lol😅...true story lol. Thanku so much for explaining the process, I'd really love to try this composition, wish I could draw a crow tho lol...let alone to then paint it.. Still we gotta try right, Im 64 next month and love to create with all sorts of different mediums, I've just never been good at drawing lol Cheers and thanku Kaz from Oz ❤
