My real Dad, was an ARTIST and he could paint ANYTHING sadly he has passed away now,and I will never get the CHANCE to learn how to paint from him now!!! Art is my LIFE, I draw with charcoal, inkand do encaustic painting, but haven't concored all forms of painting yet! I love watercolor

- and Lisa says that again and again in many of her other videos. I love that Lisa-credo too. It stuck with me the first time I heard her say it, and having that statement in the back of my mind makes me much more courageous when I draw and paint. Lisa is one of the best art teachers out there.

Long story short I decided to try painting. I have been drawing for 30 years and My significant other thinks I oughtta try. I just LOVED your presentation and "to the point ideas and ways". Very instructional and USEFUL!!! Im stuck as to what to paint first......

@carvsh 5 лет назад

Without writing a novel here, i'll just let a FEW of the wonderful things about this tutorial. I've painted, drawn, colored, etc.... for over 30 years and I STILL learn much from your tuts. My favs from this: charcoal pencil, glass palette, makeup mop brush, trace just fish outline first - (basically trace/ paint in steps or sections), explaining washes, explaining why to or NOT to use white (to lighten blue for example - keeping it very translucent) Many many more things I could go on about.... but in a very short version of my comment....... you amaze me every time!

@palliparambilhamza2418 2 года назад

@tracyhouser4100 5 лет назад

I'm planning to get my mom everything she needs to start painting. I've never painted before, but maybe a year ago she started just painting every which thing in her house, from tables and chairs to picture frames and artsy glass vases.. She really likes it, and with her kids having grown up and moved out and on with their lives, she could really use some hobbies to keep her days pleasant and moving forward. This video is one of the first I've watched in preparation to get her started on canvas, after a loooovely Bob Ross video last night, and I've got to say - THANK YOU!!!! All the products you suggested seem great and I appreciate you explaining and reiterating throughout the video that having low quality products and tools can lead to confusion and frustration for a painter when things don't turn out so well - things like pulling up previous layers. It was also so helpful and cool watching you paint and getting to hear your little anecdotes about why you do things and what you may encounter and how you deal with these things, like messing up a layer. It "doesn't mean its ruined, it just means you're not finished yet!" Really, just that bit of insight there made the whole video worth watching, and it already was without it. Cherry on top, eh ^^ My mom's gonna be so stoked when she opens up all these painting tools this Christmas.Thanks so much!! You've helped me do that for her. And I'm gonna show her your channel, and maybe get her watching more of your videos for guidance and general stimulation :D

@bernardjean7918 3 года назад

@jeffrey.a.hanson Год назад

Like X’s a million. I’m a musician learning to paint as nighttime routine and this is the first method of order that makes sense to my brain. It’s exactly how I record music. Sketch a vocal with an acoustic, create my basic arrangement behind it, create the main vocal track with natural takes…add in the lead instrumentals, create vocal layers…then touch it all up and add the layer of ‘gloss’ if I want that modern touch.

@frankquarters Год назад

Aside from simply being a talented artist, I'm so impressed with your ability to instruct in the most pleasant and efficient way. I cling to every tip, and am taking notes with glee. Thank you for sharing your brilliance.

@Mistellesonn 6 лет назад

This is a fantastic tutorial! I have always dabbled with acrylic painting in various arts and crafts, but only recently have I turned my attention to actually painting scenes on canvases. And this may sound silly, but I am absolutely blown away at how much I didn't know or even consider! I thought hey, here is some paint, I have a wide variety of brushes and fair (or so I thought!) eye for color and away we go! I never thought about there being different types of canvases (smoother canvases for the win!), or using a big soft makeup brush for blending. These are great tips and tricks!

@mariannekeller7504 6 лет назад

Love this! I've been a self-taught acrylic painter for some time now. I've learned so many new tips in this video! I'd love to see more of these beginner videos in acrylic, colored pencil, and drawing. Thank you so much!!

@bella_color 6 лет назад

I remember you mentioning a while back how much you love fredrix and so when I was at the art supply warehouse picking out canvasses i chose the blue label. since then, i haven't chosen any other type of canvas because i love it so much more than what i was using before and they have pretty good prices too.

@pantalonious3984 4 года назад

I LOVE what you say about, if you don’t like the way something is looking just let it dry and paint over it, it’s not ruined it’s just not finished yet “ I promise that’s my new mantra as I learn to paint!!

However , I am advancing to do other works of painting and now using acrylics. I have started using Acrylics now for a half a year. Your Canvas and brush tips are awesome! I do use the boards and found myself liking the boards better than working on canvas. Watching you paint the fish and how do create the water bubbles were neat! I enjoyed this Lesson very much.

@roryphillips7952 5 лет назад

I love the golden open paints. They keep dry for a long time. And when I want them to stay wet for a very long time I'll actually put them into the refrigerator for five or ten minutes and then they will blend forever.

@gabbiesmeemee 5 лет назад

Wow I have learned so much already. I did acrylic in high school but it seemed like it was more like coloring book style for me. I didn't have any clue about doing the background first and then your object in front of it. After seeing this fish I realized I've got to do this. I have been working in acrylic liquid pour practicing at home which was something I did in high school. I didn't think I was very good at acrylic but it wasn't that I wasn't very good I just didn't know the basics of painting, using values just helped make the painting look more realistic. Thank you for your paintings and your videos take care and God bless Deb
