It's very useful that you mention both the brush types and colors, as well as the medium, in your step-wise process. Cheers.

I always go back to your videos for guidance and help. A big thank you for everything you gave and continue to give.

Thank you so much Andrew, having been a painter of small birds for some time I've just moved onto larger studies, this video has sorted out so many problems that I've been having, !! just placed my order for dagger brushes from Rosemary an Co.... love all your vids and tutorials, keep them coming...Cheers

Hi Andrew, hello from Portugal! I've been following you for some time here on youtube and have also subscribed your newsletter because I really, really like the way you share your amazingly huge knowledge about oil painting. This is one amazing lesson, as always. Thank you.

All these tips can be used not only for painting birds - your lesson is universal! But the main thing in your videos for me - inspiriation)

Self taught oil painter. Will be using your tutorials to help me paint my first bird, a harrier hawk. Surprisingly I have followed two of the three tips you recommend here! Your work has true dynamic to it, a real old master painter feel to each of your works. Very talented. Thank you.

I have come to really enjoy your videos, your editing to talk about how you paint while painting is awesome!

You are so talented you make me weep with awe. I will never be as good as you but your talent inspires me to try and strive for a level of quality that you show really is possible. Thanks for sharing your talents through youtube and inspiring a wannabe painter who hasn't painted since leaving art school over 30 yrs ago:)

I am a beginner and started painting about a year ago and I truly understand your process and method or procedure, when you talk about beginning a painting by blocking in and laying down a foundation and then being very aware of warm up against cold colors, light up against dark, the importance of color and tones and at last round it all up with details... all of this will bring life, dynamic or drama and 3d to your paintings or drawings. I love all medias from Acrylic, oil, pastels, graphite, watercolor and colored pencils...and I think that this way of awareness helps you no matter what medium you use, and especially if you like to paint realism. so it is not only when you paint birds but anything you wish to portray in a realistic way. Your two portraits are exceptionally beautiful and I appreciate your talent to balance color and tones, not all people are gifted like that. Thank you...

I love your tutorials Andrew! They're so helpful and inspiring. And your work is brilliant!!! So glad I found you.

Wonderful work Andrew,Thanks for sharing your tips.You make things look so easy...you are a great inspiration ...

Watched and listened to you, Andrew! Loved seeing the brushes and their brushstrokes used to create the feathers! The colors and values in layers were handled beautifully. Great control. :) How you went about painting the color opalescence was mesmerizing! Thank you so much. Love your communication skills too! :) So glad you are back!! :)

Love how you explained the techniques! Thanks for sharing!

Thank you! I've never painted feathers before, and I'm working on a bird right now. I found out I'm doing the first two tips rights. But I'm starting on detail too soon. Thank you, this really helped me!

Thank you Andrew. Your techniques are very precise and so helpful. I will be using this on a rooster painting I am planning

Stunning paintings! Thanks so much for the excellent tips!!

Super cool !!.. love it. Thanks again its an amazing short and instructive video.

At 2:13, I love how you have one of your laptops streaming one of Joe Rogan's telecasts. I've seen this video several times, and continuously come back to it when I tackle one of the difficult bird paintings. Keep up the good work Andrew, you are definitely one of the greats..

Thanks Andrew, really really great work and great way of demonstration, love your work a lot!!!

Thanks a lot for these videos. I really love how you get into details & analysis of technique instead of any quick hacks to simply sell the video. I am a self taught artist(not a good one yet ;p) and your videos are helping me learn painting by filling gaps in my knowledge.

Wow... You are amazing! I'm painting a Heron at the moment....You have completely inspired me. Thanks... Andy

You’re the best! Such a talented and charismatic men!

Please make more videos for sale when time allows. Your Faithful Fan, Anne Marie Lakey, Boise , Idaho

wow you are an amazing painter! Ive learned so much from your videos...thanks again

I love your teaching methods every bit as much as I love your paintings & techniques, Andrew ! I would like to see you work on feathers that are more like those I work on, however. These birds have more of a hairy type of feathering & I'd really like to see you do a sequel - please - doing an Owl, or a Hawk, or an Eagle of some sort, close up ! I specialize in Raptors, so that's my personal focus & main concern. BTW - I'm now feeling much better about my Artistic direction & am getting some new work going ! I'm finding it's really helping me feel better emotionally & psychologically ! Not doing my Art generates a Black hole for me & I know it ! Thanks for your guidance , friendship & encouragement ! I've thought long & hard about your comment to go into Oils. I've decided I can accomplish much the same results using Acrylics & glazing mediums & not worry about having to become a chemist, as well as an Artist ! While I like what can be accomplished in Oils, I remember the works I did in college getting moldy & damaged in short time. I don't want that to happen again because I don't understand the chemistry involved - ie : " Fat over lean" etc. ! I prefer to be more spontaneous, which is why I went to Pastels in the 1st place. More recently, I've expanded to Graphite pencil - specifically & especially on Mellotex, then Colored Pencil - again on the amazing Mellotex ( Especially because I won my 1st award with it & that was a State level BEST OF SHOW ! ) & colored Pencil over Watercolor - enjoying the loose flow qualities of the Watercolor & then the tight detail I get with the Colored Pencil ! I also have Acrylics & firmly believe the same results can be accomplished in them, as I'd be able to attain in Oils. I'd love to hear your comments on this if they differ ! Recently, I've decided to try my hand @ Scratchboard & I'm happy with how that is going so far. I'm stARTing with black & white , but plan to advance to adding Airbrush in the near future. As you can see, I'm already spread pretty thin in the media depARTment ! LOL !

Wow! those irisdecent feathers are really good!

i really love your videos sir andrew! thank u for your tutorials. i followed you in instagram.

Thanks for sharing. Great job!

Great video Andrew. thanks for the tip

Thanks for sharing your talent. More Blessings 🙏💕

Great Work, have to watch this video many many times to get some of you fine Art. Some Day jaja, warm regards from Mexico

You make it look so easy!! Excellent 👌

The best oil tutorial in youtube, but if someone dont have talent like you he will never gonna be able to create art like this. I mean you are a genius :D

Wow. I never saw it like that and thank you very much! It really did help!

Hello Andrew, you inspire me to want to get up and paint. Just thought I would let you know that.

Great tips. Thank you!!! Has helped a lot.

Amazing work my friend ,captivating to say the least

This is probably the most worthwhile art channel in all of youtube. Please, continue to share your talents. If I may request, can you do one on techniques used in classical realism? I see the technique here somewhat delivering a similar ethereal glow you see in Carravagisi painters' work.

Awesome Andrew! So very helpful! I'm in the middle of painting a very large cockatoo that I photographed in Puerto Rico. Colors bouncing all over it's white feathers from the pool and stucco walls surrounding its perch. Never occurred to me to use dagger brushes. I'm off to buy some large ones now. Thanks for the tip. Love your videos. - Jennifer, Memphis, TN - USA

Amazing work! Thank you so much!

You are definitely the best teacher in the world!

Your painting is fabulous. Love your way of doing them.,

Absolutely lovely!!! Thank you.

love your tutorials! thank you so much! stay safe.

Freakin incredible! My favorite is the yellowish skin under the beak.

Is there more video footage of you painting the hornbill available? It would be so useful to see it as a timelapse with the steps more broken down. Beautiful job!
