On detail and non-detail to draw the eye's focus... I come from a theater scenery background. And in theater we play around with the concepts of "depth of field" and "forced perspective" where we are constantly tricking the eye to focus on one place or another on stage. For example, we might have general washes "upstage" while having higher amounts of detail "downstage" to force the eye to focus on an actor or scenic element. It's a false depth of field when you're actually on stage, but it works when you're sitting in the audience 20 ft away. We also play with "forced perspective" where we might intentionally build and paint scenery out of square - following artificial perspective lines. For example, we might build a wall (including windows and doors) intentionally out of square where the downstage uprights are literally taller than the upstage uprights to stretch the perspective of the scene. This gives the audience the impression that house (or whatever) is actually deeper than the theater space actually is. I love that you (we can) do that on the canvas as well - I will definitely be using these tricks. Thanks for sharing!!!

Wouldn't it be fun to have a reaction video of the collector receiving the paintings and unveiling them!?

Congrats on the House!!!! You are so talented. Beautiful work. You have inspired me to try my hand at wildlife painting.

Oh Daniel you have given me an impossible task of choosing a favourite. I honestly can’t choose one they are all superb and the owner is going to be so happy. You are both amazing. I wish you both well in your new home and wish you both health wealth and happiness for the future. 🥰🏘️🗝️🎉

I am big fan of your work bro they look all amazing, I am learning a lot and getting inspired, just by looking at you and Ambers animals paintings, you two are the best in KZfaq, and instagram 😊👍👏✌️

Gorgeous work! You’re an excellent artist and teacher. Thank you! 😊

Вы супер талантливый художник!!! ❤

Lovely tips, thanks. I do too start with the eye or eyes of the subject. Also, my kids mentioned that leaving that part for later, makes the painting look really creepy 😆. Good luck with the move and setting up of your new home.

So kind of you guys 🙏 Thank you for the video 👍 (India)

I so want to steal your idea for the mini paintings 🙂 And the jaguar paintings are amazing!!

Awesome work! Amber’s jaguar looks amazing too.

Your tips help so much, thanks!

Just absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!

Mesmerizing painting ❤😊❤all are gorgeous, but 3rd one is my favorite.

My friend you are an amazing artist..thank you for your videos on all aspects of your craft..the attention to detail ..you have such a grasp of knowledge of color value,shape,it takes such concentration and focus…thank you

Daniel, I’ve been watching you progress in your art for about two years now and I never get tired of watching you creating these masterpieces. I’m only 9,500 ish hours behind you so keep going I may catch up one day 🤭not! thanks for your inspiration and sharing your thoughts and experiences. Thanks to Amber for the old brush tip.😁

Love them all! Number 1 if I was forced to choose

They’re so awesome, thank you for sharing your knowledge and tip’s with us, and thank you Amber. Congrats on your new home. Looking forward to seeing your next painting x❤

Congratulations on the house. Wish you best of luck and many years of happiness! My favorite of the 3 gorgeous paintings is the first one walking towards you

absolutely gorgeous. I've been watching your videos for a while now and you have been the only one to explain a technique that I feel comfortable using. It has been an enormous help in making my paintings not have that "flat" look and helps me to make it more realistic and alive. Thank you so much for the time you take to make these tutorial videos. You help so many people realize their dreams and make their paintings so much more satisfying to do.

OMG🏆you are amazing. So hard to pick one among the three . The way you present your video, you don’t just breathe life into these jaguars but you draw everybody in to enjoy your work which is worth the time spent watching you, Love your work and Amber is absolutely superbly talented too🏆Jose from Australia

All of them are gorgeous! Well done!

Vou assistir os vídeos com muita atenção, e praticar

I truly wish you could capture the look on the collector's face :) That is always a thrill! Love all 3 so can't choose a favorite. Also, I think it only fair that you show us your and Amber's new home lol. Feel like we are all 'part of the family' now! hahaha (plus I love seeing new homes and I know the thrill of moving into your own). Best wishes to you both!💕

You are so talented it just blows me away to see your finished works. I can’t actually say which is my favourite as they are all so beautiful. I would be scared to death if I had to face any one of those cats, their eyes look right through you.

WoW, Very Wonderful and perfectly Tiger, More Thanks.🙏🏼🙏🏼👏👏🤩🤩❤❤

Yeah truely they look sooo good 😂😍😍 I really love the style of them. Well done Daniel! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My favorite is the second one. 😁

How gorgeous!!!❤❤❤ I took a break from painting for a few years, now I'm ready to paint again. Those 2 paintings are just amazing, I might join your Patreon again soon. Goodluck with moving to a new house, must be exciting.🎉

Congrats on a job well done and on the new home! Thank you for being so generous with your hard won knowledge. I've been binge watching as I have just started my 1st big tiger piece.

Amazing work! So beautifully perfect🎯 Congratulations on your new home✨

Fantastic as always !!

love your work

They are all so majestic 😍

Ong I totally get it wow that’s a lot I just wish that you didn’t have to rush the painting because you do amazing with your details when you have the time. I don’t think that you could paint a bad picture! You are just great no matter how fast or slow you paint. I just know what pressure feels like and I wish that you had more time to do it your way!

Amazing talent ❤

They look awesome!!! Beautiful work, thanks for sharing!

I love all 3!

Beautiful ❤️

Wow, those all look so beautiful! And congratulations on settling your new home! I hope the move is smooth. Can't wait to see what you do next.

Ich liebe alle 3, sie sind aus einem Guss..auch Ambers Bild finde ich grossartig! ❤

Even in the US, a 7 hour drive is a long drive. :D

So so talented and beautiful pieces…x

Absolutely stunning 😮😮😮💪

Thank-you for this...been on a downer...now i wanna paint something again...totally agree with you about detail and looking too much like a photo...Good luck with house move..😊

Mais uma obra de arte de grande beleza. Parabéns. Quero aprender pintar os felinos. Pena que não posso fazer nenhum curso agora.

Congrats on your new home!!!!! Both you and Amber are so talented!! I wish I could paint half as well as you do!! If you don’t mind me asking, what is the average price you get for your paintings? To me they would be worth a fortune!!

So good

Do you ever paint lizards? I’ve noticed you have elephants but not many, I was wondering of other approaches besides just fur (tho I do get that fur is your main object in your art pieces)I really like your stuff and I think you are very talented! Awesome channel :)

If I have to choose, it's painting number 1.

Magnifique 🎉😊

Meu Deus si vc precisa melhorar dira eu meu amigo que tenho muitas dúvidas e meu trabalho não chega aos pes da sua pintura.Vc é incrivel suas pinturas extraordinárias so amo ❤❤ Quem vos fala aqui do Brasil.😘😘😘 Vcs dois arrazam .❤
