It was a journey but so worth it. Great job. Excellent teacher!!!

It's really useful to watch a complete painting beginning to end, with explanations on everything you do, the reasoning behind it, the effect you expect it to have, etc. Rather than keeping it at a really high level like other channels, you dive into the actual brushtrokes, and the way the paint flows onto the canvas. This is a level of detail that is missing in almost every other art channel, and I really appreciate it.

Now that I'm a bit further along in the video, I just have to say, that was quite a journey. Well done.

@ErickWhite-Gronok 8 ай бұрын

I think so too. I've been taking some of the stuff Ryan is showing, and mixing it with stuff I've learned from Bob Ross and his explanation's as well. I think that I am getting a bit more of a mix to be able to give me more of the depth I would like in some of my paintings. Course the ones I am doing are more 18 X 20 than his smaller ones. I am going to try some of Ryan's flower ones from a different painting.

I'm very interested in especially painting water. I'm a beginner so watching this tutorial was very very helpful for techniques, learning values. the layering involved and timing it could take to create a painting of any kind. I was getting very frustrated and annoyed and thought maybe painting was not for me and I needed to stick to my drawings. Thank you for recording this video! I can now confidently paint water or a landscape and actually anything I desire with practice. patience and most of all having fun doing it! AGAIN. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you so much, you're a great teacher.

First i know this is an old video but im glad i stumbled upon this piece. It was definitely a journey! Just want to say thank you for reminding me it’s ok to paint and repaint and fix and adjust. Sometimes I discourage myself after I’ve worked something that in the end is not what i wanted. I get tempted to want to scrap the whole thing or give up thinking that’s the best I can do. But you empowered me to not give up and rather, just have patience and keep adjusting if needed. I don’t have to just accept mediocrity but keep trying when needed. Excited to apply this lesson in my next piece. Thank you! ❤

TY for explaining why dragging your paint down for tree trunks doesn't make them look natural. I'm so guilty of doing that ... never knew until now how that is a problem I've been having with trying to make my trees look realistic. I will try your method when I paint my trees ever again. TY also for all your tips and advice on how to paint. You are such a wonderful teacher for all of us. 😸

It is the first time that I watch one of your videos (lessons), I like to paint and I am taking it up again after about 40 years. Yes, I made it to the end, yes I subscribed and I liked it. Surely I will visit your you tube channel and perhaps the only question would be why you did not use a fan brush for the effect of splashing the water at the end of the fall. Thank you very much for sharing time and knowledge. Greetings from Venezuela
