This is something my professor told me about! I paint digitally, and I would zoom in and in and painstakingly paint these tiny little details while losing sight of the bigger picture. He eventually told me not to look too deep, to see it where most people would and make textures at that distance. If I could read it, so would they. Took a lot of time off my hands!

Hello, I haven’t found a dried out paint, paint brush that couldn’t be restored by Windsor Newton brush cleaner. The stuff is AMAXING. Have been painting for years. In art class we students brought our “wrecked” brushes together for a test. By the end of class everyones’ brush was almost normal. You don’t need a lot of the stuff. Pour a little on the stiff paint and rest aside in a jar. Check periodically and start flexing the bistles once it starts working. It even works on getting dried acrylic out of cloth.

I have this mentality, where I put too much pressure on myself at the beginning of a painting, or a drawing, or a sketch...anything and everything. I loved to see you start off just like that, just how you felt. You were dipping the paintbrush in the colour of your emotions and drawing out your imaginations, just how you wanted it, just how you felt it to be. I find that so inspiring and beautiful! Just WOW! Please make more videos like this, these relaxes me and also educates. This is what art should be like. I hate that in British schools they force you to do stuff you don't like, even for art. It takes the creativity out of me, and it really changed my opinion on art itself. I chose the subject because I've always enjoyed it, but GCSEs took the fun out of it, and that was really discouraging. But seeing art like freedom again brings me the passion for art again! It makes me want to paint...

This is basically how speed painting digital concept artists works. People focus too much on details. You don't have to. Especially when you working on concept artworks for a game or a movie. Speed is the key. Don't overthink anything. Go with the flow. PS: This is amazing video. Well done. Stuart :)

I love the fact that you have made this accessible to the average person and that your supplies are low cost and able to be found at any store. I can not tell you how many times I have walked into the art store and became totally terrified of the price of a "nice" oil brush! I also am so thankful for teaching me how to wipe away the paint to add a lighter tone into the painting. I am currently in a painting class and earning my Fine Arts Degree and the piece I am working on now has very heavy dark clouds. Your tips are wonderful! Hope your cat is well fed and if I ever come back to France I will look your classes up! Thanks again!

nice painting! It's a bit like the Alexander/Ross technique in that you are blocking in areas and using a large brush and softening the sky. I like how you wiped off the paint to get a thinner sky physically but also a lighter one that looked more realistic.

Never touched oils... I find the clean up products less than ideal in a home I share with little ones.... And I don't have a garage or basement to convert. I watch your vids because they are reassuring. Most instructors are very technical... You follow them and that's it. Your style is more instinctive... You let the paint tell you what to do. Thank you for reminding me to enjoy the work and don't just work on the work. ☺

I loved the tutorial and you makes it less scary for someone like me to venture into painting with oil colours. You’ve taught me to trust myself, paint what I want to and there’s no wrong or right way and most important of all, create the illusion of detail with a limited colour palette.

It's maddening! Thanks for the wonderful video and all your great wisdom!

@kb-ih7ni 4 жыл бұрын

My biggest problem is learning to stop. I tend to overwork and overthink and I learned that sometimes, just stepping back and seeing what I have can stop me from going back in with more detail and for “perfection”. That’s when painting became freeing for me rather than “a project I need to make perfect” :) And the paintings turn out a lot better for it!
