Beginners Landscape oil painting tutorial, (Full painting in 58 mins) 

Really enjoyed this. You put a lot of effort into that sky, & it shows. Your methods are a bit different than mine (Tonalist/Expressionist) landscape artist, & it was interesting to watch how you 🎨. Ty for sharing! If I had any suggestions, they would be to list your colors & mediums, particularly for the folks new to this. I actually watched to see how you’d achieve that sky, & what colors you used for your small pond. I’ve painted long enough that I think I can figure it out. Also, there are fairly long occasional pauses that may make some viewer leave. I’d edit them out. I’d change your channels title from Fine Art, to include “Tonalism and Tonal Realism Landscape Oil Painting” ,as this will absolutely increase your traffic. There are too few good Tonalist Landscape oil paint artists on RU-vid. I know this bc I’ve looked through at least a thousand videos (was a research scientist, lol. Now I paint). Finally, I would change your banner to one of your Tonalist paintings bc THAT is much more representative of your style & people searching don’t have to guess. What you paint when your channel comes up . You know these younger generations glance at channels or videos only a few seconds at most, then move on, so you have to show what your content is right away. They’ll see it & click on it right away bc people interested in Tonalism Landscapes know them when they see them. One other thing, if I may. While it’s true shorter videos get more clicks, that is not true of painting tutorials. People want to watch & learn. I’ve found this to be true both in my observations, & from comments by viewers. I hope these tips help. You’re quite a good artist, & I like to see you get more viewers. I did definitely like seeing your palette, & the music was quite nice🙂. If you want, check out an artist named Stuart Davies. He’s a Tonalist artist who likes to focus on sky work. You might just have a look at his video list, & compare his short, sped up videos, vs his longer, full length tutorials regarding the views. I’ll becoming back to watch more. I’ve subscribed & shared your channel w/ a couple friends who also paint in the Tonalist style 🙂
