Chris, I’m so glad you started doing these extreme beginners videos I’m learning so much! I truly appreciate you helping with shapes, color and brush strokes. When I become famous I’ll give you the credit 😊🎨

What great tips on drawing. " Spend a little bit of time each day, you will be surprised how much you will grow." Such true words. I love how now that I have been dedicating myself to learning and practicing DAILY, I have noticed a huge improvement. Learning to draw what you see is a skill, but overtime...it gets better. Trust me. If you put in the time the talent will come. So many gems in this video and the teaching style is so good. Relaxed, encouraging, and just FUN. The exact thing every "EXTREME Beginner" needs to build confidence and to encourage one to keep on going. I really like the idea too of doing these practices over and over. A few times done again and again you learn muscle memory and the technique, brushstroke, water/paint ratio....all just begins to meld. It really is like watching MAGIC happen before your very eyes. Thanks @Chris Petri for investing so much time in us. I know I certainly appreciate every morsel of education.

Thank you Chris! 20 years ago my art teacher in school told me that I can't paint. That I can draw well but I can't paint. No advises on how to get better or anything. So for 20 years I haven't even tried because why to try when I've already been told that I just can't do it. Couple of weeks ago I found your extreme beginners videos and decided to give it a go. For my huge surprise I found out that with your help I CAN paint, my paintings look beautiful and most importantly - it's FUN. So thank you so much for these videos.

With just a few colours it is so effective. I always use too many colours - less is more! Thank you.

J adore vos aquarelles, toutes autant qu'elles sont,merci pour la video!😀👍❤❤

I couldn’t hit the subscribe button fast enough. I will be binge watching.

Great tip on drawing Chris. Just a bit each day makes a huge difference. When I was in grade school I had a teacher that required us to draw a picture every school day for homework. I still have some of them. I remember going with my parents when I lived in NH to a scenic spot to draw. What an amazing memory.

I’m a little late to the game but encouraged to find your great tutorials. Thank you!

Love this one Chris! Looking forward to trying it.

Thank you Chris. You inspire so many good things in me! You inspire optimism, self-acceptance, and a desire to learn and practice every day. You make this process fun. Thank you for enriching my life with your knowledge and support. It means the world to me.

I really like the idea of painting on small bits of paper. You get to practice over and over without wasting too much paper. Thanks for the tip!

This is brilliant. Just what I needed after starting again after 40 yrs. Love your teaching methods. Thanks from UK.

superb so well explained making painting fun thank yiu

Hi Chris...I'm Stacy (your favorite extreme beginner "student" lol)! I LOVE these videos that are specifically geared towards beginners, like me. You are a GREAT teacher!!!! Please continue this series, as I am learning so much (that I had trouble finding elsewhere on YT). I look forward to your next "installment". ~ Stacy

Your everything i need in an instructor. Thank you very much.

I wish we could upload pictures but this is very helpful. I am an extreme beginner. And so far I’ve remade the trees multiple times and they do get better and better each time. Even if they look nothing like yours lol. Thanks for taking the time to teach.

This is awesome tips, I am new on arts I really want to learn your techniques. Thank you so much for sharing.

Loved this Thankyou so much for your time.

The park bench painting is wonderful. I'll be doing that one with you and adding it to my sketchbook. Thank you for a lovely demonstration of the process for creating that and for the kind of feeling the finished piece inspires. By the way, I'm a palette watcher and couldn't help noticing something interesting on your palette as you were working. At about thirty one and a half minutes in, the largest mixing area on your palette got the head of a rat-like creature on it that stayed there and watched you paint for quite some time. As that mixing area dried, the rat-like creature got fatter and fatter and even got two little legs down at the bottom. It stayed there and watched you finish that painting and do the sketch for the next one before it was obliterated at about the forty-seven-and-a-half-minute mark.

Thank you love your paintings this look bit easier I’m going to have a go , it’s so simple yet looks brilliant 😊

Thanks Chris!! Love your vids

Sehr Ausdruckvoll

Hi Chris! I heard if the adhesive is too strong, you can put it on your clothing or any other cloth to weaken the adhesive. Thanks for the great videos, I've been learning a lot!

Hello chris! Thank you for another fantastic video chock full of all your kind and methodical explanations and instruction. You are so appreciated! I am curious, when you do your preliminary sketch are you drawing with a mechanical pencil or a pen? I know some people say you should use watercolor pencils to do this. What is your opinion? Thanks so much :-)

size of the Alvaro fine tip brush you are usind.. please?

I had so much trouble with the ball cap. any suggestions. I watched the video over and over to no avail.
