I have a BA degree with (HONS). My style of painting is very much like yours. I was told that you can't get no where near enough detail without using oil. I watched this entire thing with my mouth open. (I'm 45 now) but I remember being told also that art won't get you a real job. I work in an office, and I'm miserable. What I wouldn't give to have such a great place to create art like yours. But I will pick up the paintbrushes once again after many years of typing on a keyboard and hating my life. I want to paint the starry night in oil. Which me luck :)

My daughter is a wildlife veterinarian. She will be celebrating her bday soon. I wish you are from somewhere near because I want to give her a painting of the 5 endangered animals they breed. Alas! I am from South East Asia. Love your paintings! P.S. For the person mitigating my personal knowledge vs. His subjective experience: I bought a cookbook and the courier cost was $200 while a bag's shipping cost was almost €400. That was DHL and fedex. We do have a post office here and we had lost packages before. Unless items are listed in large wholesale e-commerce marketplace which has really competitive shipping fee in neighboring Asian countries, courier cost is pricey. Some people need to weight in reasonable options such as shipping time, prone to damage in transit and the COST! We have equally talented artists here and deliveries are free. (I have a painting of a humpback whale diving in the ocean and waves are so realistic. It is my favorite and the artist is local). That is my excuse! I can't wink enough here. Before underming people first - widen one's limited perspective, make sure to properly "be in someone's shoes. Apologies, I am not a fan of horror art.

We live in a global world; people ship everyday million of items (painting included). I shipped my paintings regularly from NY, then from Okinawa and now from Italy; it was never a problem (distance is not an excuse any more ;)

I was an airbrush artist n can paint ! But after seeing your video? I feel better because I was using paint brush? But it looked flat! So I started airbrushing my work on top of acrylics n it looked professionally painted n more realism. So your right! Airbrush defines what the paint brush can't . Nice video 😊

@@angelomariano9494 yeah sure if I will use DHL and fedex. I already paid $200 for a cookbook and more than $400 for a bag for the sf only. Small items expensive shipping. Oh wait yessss we have the local post which takes ages and yes packages gets lost. My very smart grandmother once said "you will never know till you are in another man's shoes." 😇 Now there's this better meaning of ASSUME. You make an A$$ of U & ME. 😜😜😜

There are so many incredibly skilled artists in South East Asia as well, many of them are KZfaqrs too. So I'm sure you can find one in your local community you can work with on creating the perfect painting(s) for your daughter.

What an amazing talent you have. I am 80 years old. I’ve only been painted a few years. I’m self taught I do landscapes and portraits in watercolour and paint landscapes and oils. I’ve never tried acrylics. I have acrylic paints, but I’ve never tried them but seeing what you can do I definitely need to give it a try.

@kathleenpatel1475 2 ай бұрын
Wow so helpful! and encouraging knowing the first layers are rubbish even for you. The spray paint really ramps up the values! The gas mask is necessary for all the spraying. You have already given enough. Do not give your health. very helpful and practical!
@terrythomas790 2 ай бұрын
Its not a gas mask. Its a respirator, Spraying water based thru an airbrush wont kill you. Its the big sprayers where you might need a mask.

@LEE-kq9tq 2 ай бұрын
As a newbie. I REALLY needed to hear the part about just.. trusting the process. Knowing that it's going to look bad at first. That the first few layers aren't going to look great. I keep having to stop myself from being discouraged and stopping bc I don't like how it looks at the beginning stages.
@GuyGabriel-eu7hb Ай бұрын
Yeah, there's a discipline to the process. The initial layers will never look like much, but once you cross the threshold where the forms start to take shape it gives you the motivation to press on. Then, after completing a few paintings, you won't even need the reinforcement through those early stages. You'll know from experience that the initial layers are just foundational and you won't expect them to look like something other than what they are.

Have just now put my name down to be notified about your brush set. Have not ever done acrylic ever before but am wanting to give it a go after watching your videos. I have tried cheap acrylics and found that when I add colors on under painting colors are disturbed underneath and end up muddying and blending instead of being nice, vivid and staying the right colors. Will give it a go soon hopefully. Your painting is breathtakingly stunning.

To get the smoothest surface, you should start out with using a portrait single weave canvas. Then add your gesso to it like you regularly do. You could also try painting on hardboard or glass instead of canvas.

This is one of the most informative & useful painting videos I have found, so firstly thank you for that. It has really opened my eyes on techniques etc. My background is miniature & model painting with acrylics, at which I’ve become moderately reasonable over the years. I have occasionally tried to dabble in some canvases occasionally and really struggled. I’ve watched many acrylic painting videos, but many aren’t that different to some of the oils in approach. But hearing you talk of priming, colour blocking, washes, glazes, layers, the ugly phase, and even using an airbrush, absolutely feeds into my armoury of learned skills. Your explanation has brought some clarity that I haven’t found elsewhere and am now inspired to go and try some more painting. Thank you for your time
