I used to wonder will we ever again see the level of fine art as that of Bouguereau - but now we have hope and faith in you, Mr. Waddell !

I love your painting and instruction, but your sense of humor and delivery is ecstatic! Thank you so much!

AFTER SEEING YOUR WAY OF SKETCHING FACES I AM NOW FINALLY AFTER JUST COUPLE OF TRIALS, ABLE TO DRAW A PORTRAIT AND ITS MORE ACCURATE AND SIMILAR TO THE REFERENCE THANKSSS!!!!😭

I love your realistic portraits! I can only hope I can get as good as you!

This guy is the best teacher in oil that I have ever come across.His advice is so full proof.Just make sure you follow his preparation.That’s key.He changed the game for me.Thank you Scott .

This video is truly a gem for people who wants to improve their painting. A great tutorial from a masterly skillful artist. Unbelievable talent.

Your painting is unbelievably. Thank you for sharing your talent and time 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🙏🏼

the most detailed and useful video I ever watched thanks to the moon and back from Saudi Arabia

This is so informative, enlightening, and inspiring! You have encouraged me to get back and try to overcome my fear of not being good enough at painting portraits and just unblock myself to paint my best - whatever the final outcome is! One of the best videos I have ever watched on YT.

OMG. You are amazing! Thank you for these invaluable tips.

Thanks for another great video Randy. If only Scott was as good at this as you are, oy veh. The man just doesn't look like a Scott, not his fault. Great work Randy!

Everything i wanted to know at the moment. 🥰

What a generous chap.

You’re videos are awesome!

One of the best painting proces, let me say, tutorials I've ever watched and believe me or not the time I spent on videos bout painting you can count on months not hours.

Thank you so much Scott, your video answered why I haven't been able to exit my painting nightmare of having no chroma, no value's, flat, chalky, over oily, thick greasy paint on canvas, lost in space brush strokes, no plan by chance, never ever endIng painting, paint devouring artist buster method making me crazy loop. I'll forever owe you for saving me. RandelllMalavida

You know what I felt like while watching this, if i miss any one word, it would be a great loss for my better learning ♥️☺️.. awsome techniques and you are the best teacher ever I see..

Amazing video. Thank you for the video.

Thank's for doing what you do.

Hi! I am an acrylic artist...but your tips for Oils are just as relevant to my medium! Thank You-I always pick up something I can use to help and encourage me on my quest for perfection!

CONGRATS!, AWSOME VIDEO!!!

Thanks so much for your générosité and kindness, 🙌

just bought the 11 hour still life demo from you, can't wait to start watching it. thanks scott, keep up the good work

I love watching artists paint who can work fast from a rough underpainting and develop it layer by layer tightening it up each time. its always fascinated me to watch yet i can never work that way. Ive tried many years ago in the past and the painting never works out. It always feels like ive wasted time and made more work for myself later on and makes me impatient. I', much the same as i work every layer to the best of my abilities. even if its not going to be seen under later layers i just see it as 'warming up' or simply i just enjoy the process as opposed to trying to rush it

Absolutely love your channel. Love your personality as well😂.

you are so generous and phenomenal!!! It feels like a gift to have found you on KZfaq. thank you!

It should be borderline illegal that you only have 35k subs.

Best tutorial , hats off!

Very great lesson 👍👍👍👍

The best tutorial I’ve seen yet! For the underpainting do you thin with gamsol or linseed oil?

Outstanding oil painting technic; smooth, and very well blended colors as if done through magic. I wish that I could paint like you by using the brush alone. Thank you for sharing your videos. Stay safe.

Love how open you are about your process, thanks for all the advice.

You videos are so much beneficial for me as an artist, my art really got more professional than before, one for thanks for you my great artist

Wow, following your work for a few years I would never thought you were such nice guy for that much of a talent

I like your videos a lot.. Especially your portrait techniques..🎨🎯

Great video, Scott!

Hi Scott, Love the humor 😀

Thaaaaaaank yooouuu!!!!🤗 Really enjoyed this video!

!!! thank you!!! I feel like this something that is hard to find in the tutorials on YT- overview of the entire process. This answers a lot of my questions that I could not seem to find or know the words to google.... can't wait to try some of this. thanks!!

Never stop.

You are excellent 👏 thanks bro

Thank you so much for this! Painting is so much easier when there is a roadmap!

I've been painting in a rather loose style for many years but have always loved the academic approach. I'm a bit afraid however that if I try to switch from my loose style to this tighter method I'm going to fail and hate the results. I suppose I'll just keep watching your tutorials and maybe eventually work up the nerve to try it out. Thanks for your videos, they are very interesting and informative!

Such a helpful tutorial…in lockdown again so I need this!

Best episode so far 👌

Brilliant tutorial. If I could only ever watch one instructional video....this would be it.

Nice info. Thank you for sharing👍

Loved your art. I m watching it again and again since morning 😊 Very helpful 😊👍

Outstanding as your Patreon. You are gifted teacher and artist!

Thank you! You are so good!

I always wanted to know how you did your paintings. Thank you for the information. I love your channel. I think I’m applying most of your tips to my work! Thank you a lot!

You are an amazing teacher.

What absolutely beautiful paintings. Utterly masterful!

A lot of what you describe about the paint not gripping strikes home with me. I paint on board and I have found that you don’t want to sand the board down ultra fine. I intentionally leave a tooth on my gessoed board and tend to do my first pass with linseed as opposed to gamosol. Lol I also like Windsor Newton but I live near a Holbein wholesaler who was indignant when I asked if their store carries Windsor Newton as they are also a general art supply store

Honestly, love this tutorial. Every other tutorial you see, shows you how they start off with immediately painting, and that just doesn't work for me, simply because of the problems with proportion, drawing with a pencil helps so much that I'd even dare to call it magic.

Scott, I bought one of your courses a few years ago. KZfaq recommended your channel subscribed. Glad to see you sharing more stuff on youtube. Keep it up. Cheers

So much knowledge being shared just like that in such a simple and easy to understand manner, Thank you kind sir!

World class by one of the best!! Thanks Scott!!

Thanks sooo much for sharing your wonderful painting techniques

A true oil paint guru, I love this painter, absolutely a Master !!!

You are absolutely incredible my friend. I can't find words to describe how happy you made me, you are right ,y can be a very skillful artist and never actually achieve your goals, simply because it is not organized it from the very beginning. God bless you Best regards lvan

love this ❤ glad I found you on here .. I'm trying a portrait now and it's been 4 yrs 😮 wonderful stuff

Clear concise and thoroughly clear advice on your method. Many thanks and best wises from the U.K.

💓 your method, your artwork is amazing!

I learned so much from this video. Thank you Scott. You are awesome

You’re a saint!

What a great video. Gives us an amazing look into his technique , that is pretty much the classical technique. He does the underpainting and later incorporates the fat over lean rule . Brilliant example of fine arts .

thanks a lot Brother ❤️

I had several questions about your painting technique.and materials. This video answered them all! Great job, thank you!

Another one hit out of the park. Thanks.

So glad I found you!

Ohh my god underrated channel ✨✨

You are great , thanks a lot

THANK YOU

Great tips, thanks!!

I really appreciate your painting technique and results. Honestly I see your particular approach to be the best out there. No excess of medium insures permanence. Simple and available tools invites expediency. Actually everything you suggest here provides a solid foundation where results approaching the finest that has yet been done attainable coupled with little more than talent and tenacity. I am taking up the technique starting today. In many ways I already paint in this way but only in passing and only in my finest results. Consider me a devotee. Perhaps we shall show together some day.

U are amazing 😍💯

Excellent! Thank you so much! This was so helpful in so many ways; especially drawing transfer and approaching it as though it's my final pass. It's just what I needed.

Very interesting thank you

Thank you so much I learned alot after watching your videos.

Great tips. Very helpful! Thanks for making this video

Hola maestro, Muchas gracias. Saludos desde México.

What a great video. Thanks so much. I taught myself to paint in layers. My first portrait painting was good but I realized I needed more revisions. After watching this video I will take all your suggestions and go for it! It has been amazing to hear your advice and guidance. I painted in areas and it took me a long time to complete the grisaille, then the actual painting. Fortunately, I’m very patient and take my work seriously. Thanks again. Blessings and take care.
