Detail Painting in Oils | Painting a Rural Landscape - Brush Techniques and Process 

Please don't lament your use of detail! That's the artist you are... and your instruction has taught me to add detail to my oversimplified paintings. I could never find that instruction in college and it's a lost art.

You’re not only great painter you’re also great teacher.. thank you so much for being that clean 🤍✨

Andrew, you are a king, in the details. Hug from Porto-Portugal.

Thank you Andrew Tischler for your fine demonstration of how to paint an object. You show how easy it can be done.

This one is a winner and I look forward to the next one.

I truly admire your audacity to paint as the masters did. You have a keen knowledge of color, technique and the ability to convey it to others. I have been struggling with my style most of my 52 years and you may have enliven my muse. Now I only have 2-3 years to make my proverbial mark, say the doctors. This gives me even more the desire to create. Now that I don't have to work anymore, I have all that time just to create. Stumbling across your channel has been a true Godsend to me, thank you Andrew. I hope you have a fruitful long life to leave yours. Martin Carlson

I love using the dagger for distant trees on hills.

You do a great job of explaining what you were thinking as you were painting, and so helpful is you explain what colors you are mixing and why! Thank you :)

I like the detail and love the grass.

You are graet andrew...i want to go back...to paint because of you...im inspired to paint..

Wow! Glad I found you. You are an amazing Artist and Teacher. True treasure

Andrew, you're a brilliant painter, but this level of detail is almost taking the piss. Lots of love from a big fan, Phil xoxoxo

I’m speechless, I love painting with a lot of details. Please do more like this 😊

Always a good day when you drop a video. Very inspirational. Thanks for making these! I really mean it.

Your understanding of ligh is amazing.

Absolutely beautiful, I love the detail!

You love bristle daggers, and I love you. Thank you for another helpful video!

You are such a talented artist. I'm so glad I found your videos. You explain so much! You are one of the best artists I've found, thank you for sharing.

Love the detail and in depth shading. So glad you're back and exposing us to your excitement. #1 Granny

It's pleasure to watch you paint and listen to your comments. Beautiful painting.thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your work. It allows me to see parts of a country I will never be able to visit. I hope to take your instructions and apply them to my paintings. Thanks again and have a blessed year.

You r such a decent and amazing teacher

FANTASTIC

I love all your videos I'm learning so much . Can't thank you enough hope I don't run out of videos

I am so very grateful for your instruction- thank you.😊

Andrew, another awesome lesson. I could never understand why my highlights didn't "pop" the way they should until you explained about desaturating the layers underneath. Watching this video was the best 20 minutes I've spent all week.

A very nice painting job indeed. The whole affair recounted eloquently and in a calm manner, too. Kudos

What a talent and what an ability to explain the process! It's fascinating to watch, Thank you

Certainly one of my favourites! I am currently studying painting at university and love your videos

Love your work, commitment and communication technique

Wow, Andrew! I don't know about anyone else, but as for me, I love the meticulous details. Although they can be exhausting, it makes a painting more interesting IMHO. When I visit art museums, I'm always most in awe of the brush strokes of the the detailed paintings. I find it inspirational. Yet, I understand the desire to loosen up after years of painting a certain way. Still, I very much appreciate and enjoy your methodical process AND how you show the gradual progression from the beginning to finish near the end of the video. That's so helpful to see. I think I'm going to start doing that so I can track my progress. It might even be helpful to have as a reference, if I get stuck at some point. Thanks for sharing another great video with such great content. You've given me lots to think about. As always, looking forward to the next one! Take care of yourself and family. Enjoy the snow!

As always, LOVE you painting videos, so very helpful. It was particularly fascinating to see how just laying the graduation of colors, the details pop, and make a difference. I typically use acrylics, but most of the principles carry though. Watching the details take shape with each brushstroke is like watching magic. I will never tire of this! Thank you!

The end result was worth "crossing the line"! Enjoyed watching another of your masterpiece come to life.

You are a gifted person. Your work is amazing and I admire your skill. Thank you for sharing and thank you for adding beauty to the world for the rest of us to enjoy!

Love your work Andrew and i am a big fan of detail, cross that line as often as you like. well done

Great video like always Andrew! Always looking forward to the next one. Sending you love ❤️

Man, you are one of the best painters of youtube and the world! Thank you for your work and for the videos. God Bless you!

much appreciated, so enjoy you process. its almost like a journy. and the best part i took from it "cross that lines". thank you andrew, you are amazing artist.

You sir, are a magician...and it is a definite yes for the detail - love it.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!

For me this is one of my favorites. I am sure that I will re-watch this several more times. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for sharing all your techniques and thoughts as you paint. I really like all the detail. I really enjoy all your videos, I am learning so much from you!

I really enjoyed this video and always learn from them. Thank you. Love your painting, you are so talented.

I am having a bad day but I watched this on my lunch break and now I feel better. I love the subjects of your paintings. I didn't know New Zealand looked like that. I'm from a river valley in the Midwest US and it looks very similar. I always feel comforted by scenes of hills and old barns. Also glad you changed position of horse head. It looks much better.

that was great, loved the end painting. Thanks for sharing your talent with us all

this was really great... i really miss your paintings hehehe.. thank you for coming back and inspire again young artists...

Thanks again, this video is great, I'm enjoying every second, its giving me the push, to paint again and again.

The motive is stunning and a must-paint!

Hi Andrew ; ( brush Techniques ) wow bravo this painting is more than beautiful, I am always following your tips, and your attention to detail is truly amazing , i wish i was at this level , you are a great teacher , and i thank you so much to share your tutorial with us ,i am one of your french Fan , GUY from St-Hubert , 5 kil from Montréal , Province of Québec ;

I'm so glad you're back!!! I'm from Brazil and I always learn more watching your vídeos... Thanks for sharing with us your talent

You are a SURGEON with those brushes! Thank you for these videos. I adopted, “Working back to front” in my studies (amongst other techniques you’ve shared - I want to grab a hold of some oleogel next). This works best for me. I’m enjoying the learning process and have become less fearful/anxious of “putting myself out there.” Your methods and teachings make the most sense to me. And for that, I’m grateful.

Hi Andrew- I learn a lot from your demonstrations and the comments you make as the video plays.I think your methodical process makes a lot of sense: a number of thumbnails to explore the composition possibilities and select one to develop the painting; then a colour study; then a grid-based scale-up to the final painting. Many thanks! Best Wishes Kevin Barry

The details are wonderful, than again i paint details,tfs

You are a master. Love every videos of yours

Thanks for sharing, Andrew! Your videos are always useful!

I love this video! It’s so informative and INSPIRING! Thanks for doing it!

Enjoyed this greatly! To see the transformation was inspiring and, like others below, I liked the detail and how it was achieved.

Really loved it. And I’m really appreciating this video method for sharing. Really hope to get some of your deeper tutorial vids. Thank you!

Huge fan here, Andrew! Your work and your words are sooooo inspiring!! I learn so much from your videos! Must have missed something on your studio setup regarding the photo gizmo thingy next to your workspace. God bless you and your family!

Wow I love that painting! 😍

Thank you so much for another great video!

you are an amazing teacher! thank you for sharing Andrew!

It looks amazing. I feel your pain. I can’t help myself with the detail either. Then you feel like it’s never ending!

Awesome Andrew

As always, another super video about painting. Very useful, I find grass so hard to paint. And there are so few instructions out there about painting detalis of the grass. This was very useful.

Hi Andrew. So glad you’re back. Your comment about “crossing the line” just validated what I experienced with my painting the other day. It just wasn’t pleasing me after working on it (too long). So I backed off, took a good look, and realized it had too many details covering the whole scene. So I scraped off most of it and “generalized” the supporting areas, leaving details mainly for the center of interest. Voila! It is so much better, and your validating my decisions was very important to me. Crossing the line is a good lesson to absorb. Thanks!

Andrew, you really inspire me every time ! Thanks for all of your efforts and your videos :-)

You are an inspiration. I will be looking closer at shadows thanks to your work. Thanks

Awesome video Andrew. You truely are an inspiration to me and i cant wait for your next video. Good luck man

Fantastic done! Respect for this

Love your videos! thanks

I think it's really inspiring how even though to most painters you are an absolute master, you seem to have never stopped learning ever since you started painting, you're always pointing out mistakes in your painting and trying to learn from them.

I just found your channel trying to get back into a painting routine after a 4 year lull. I've been very uninspired due to my surroundings but determined to make some changes so I can paint again. I bought a shipping container and will be transforming it into an art studio in the spring.Your channel is the one I chose to inspire me. So happy I found you . Thank you.

Absolutely, you must cross the line it’s the only way to learn where the line is! Without crossing it you risk playing it too safe, equally you may find that you like what you have produced beyond the line. Does that make sense?? Great to hear that you are getting more commissions. What you do is quality and that takes time. If it means that there is a wait to see your next video, then so be it. The commissions must come first. Thanks Andrew!

That last landscape of the barn and horse and fence! I could look at that all day, way to go with the colors, i love the dioxazine and thalo green addition, just beautiful! Hope we will see some thalo blue in that shadow on the top of your barns one day 😊

Really enjoy your work, your a tallented Artist with a strong thurst for learning to inprove you're abilities. Thanks

Love your video's, and the way you paint and explain. You are a fabulous artist! I am looking forward to your next painting video.

Watching people paint in oil is one of my favorite things! It's so relaxing and satisfying. When it comes to details it all depends on what you're going for and how you do it and that's going to be different for everyone. Like you said, unless you push the boundaries of looseness and detailedness (totally a word) you're not going to find out what you want. There's a lot of pressure out there to either make your paints really loose (or super detailed though I haven't heard that so much) but you shouldn't let that direct where you go unless that's actually what you want to do. Detailed or loose, I think this painting looks amazing.

Your paintings are beautiful... Great that you share your techniques with all.....thanks for all the info...may not reach your level but it sure helps

Hi Andrew! Greetings from Athens Greece. I really love your way of painting. I paint too (when I have free time) and your videos helped me a lot. If you ever travel here, I'll be more than glad to meet you. The light in Greece is fantastic. Take care!!!!

Very interesting and helpful. I have also found recently that the basic layer needs to be dark so that the highlights stand out better and create a stronger contrast which creates a more lifelike visual effect. I look forward to your next video.

It’s absolutely beautiful 🙂💐and i love the details in your painting

Andrew amazing .. lot of learning ..thanks

Honestly idk why you hold back on details, I think it looks awesome

So beautiful ... really enjoy watching your videos

Wow. Brilliant explanation and broken down into parts, this was a great demo lesson. Usually you are but this raised the bar! Thanks

Love it!

Wow! Amazing! Thank you!

AMAZING! I love it.

Not for nothing, but I was happy when I got a notification from RU-vid about this video. Andrew you haven't post no video I was scared for a moment, happy you are back. Amazing video

I learn a lot from you. Was on the south island in Feb. Christ Church, Barrytown, Westport. Really picturesque place

Time is everything, and since giving myself time to work a piece(I fired an art coach 9 months in... no pressure now and it's amazing!)....I HAVE NEVER BEEN BETTER, or GROWN better! Thank you for your detail tips, I especially get wonderful feels for the descriptions of the colors used in combination....woot!!!

Man that was great to watch. I actually began painting the minute i finished watching it. Keep up the great work!!

Wow 👌🏻👌🏻 thank you so much for making these videos 😁😁

Great detail

Great video! I've learned that watching more than once helps catch key points. As a recent refugee from the world of acrylics, I appreciate your comments about drying times. Currently I'm tangling with the concept of making sure I'm always doing fat over lean, when I have to do several layers. Your thoughts on that in a video would be appreciated.

Great video once again!

Mil gracias por este nuevo video. Estaba esperando con ansias poder seguir de nuevo tus instrucciones y continuar aprendiendo. Un saludo desde Colombia.

You inspires me a lot and I was waiting for your video and it came I really love paintings and you are master in landscapees and portrait your best in your type or category

Your bristle dagger brush does all 😍
