How to Paint a Still Life: EPISODE SEVEN - Vanitas with Goat Skull and Flowers 

Thanks so much Steven!

Steven McDowell I so agree with you. Andrew is such a great teacher. Can't wait to try to attempt paint something like this. I ve learned so much

Steven McDowell Indeed, nigh impossible, honestly. I've met many incredible artists whom couldn't even begin to instruct you on how to actually create a painting. It's hard to take countless years of experience, technique, theory, and mistakes and condense it into a coherent lesson plan. That's why most art teachers tend to be so oblique when it comes to, you know, actually teaching. A rare quality, for sure.

Thanks MindGem!

There are lots of artist video’s... hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands. The issue is quality videos not meaning the talent of the artist but the quality and content of the video. I have gotten where I just don’t have the patience to watch someone speed paint and receive no instruction at all to help me as to what they are doing. It’s okay to do that through repetitive parts but not beginning to end. And videos that are mostly sales to get you to buy other things. Or videos of paintings that are 1/2 completed before we start watching and basically we need to buy a dvd etc to find out how the first part or the end was created. Lots of videos, but also some are difficult to follow, really good artist, but I’m worn out trying to follow all the distractions and interruptions or stopping and starts about other subjects. We have all seen them. Andrew gets down to business..maybe a little less ads would be nice... the Google ads and then his ads... a bit much sometimes but and a huge but..is he provides such top quality instruction during the rest of the video, that I don’t mind so much. Everyone has to make money and he gives us a lot of time in explaining as he works, or on specific topics like the brushes, mediums, etc. For those who can’t add one more dollar to their budget, it’s great to have information from a serious artist for free. There are a number who really provide top quality from talent, videography, instruction, time spent discussing, product reviews and the list goes on. As I said hundreds+ of videos out there, just not all top quality. But these are free and we have to keep that in mind and be appreciative. Even the worst video has some worth.. it teaches you what not to do! Again, thank you Andrew.

Thanks heaps for the comment!

Thanks Roslyn!

No worries, I am really enjoying your videos, when I get time 2 watch them. Maybe you could talk to Graeme Stevenson a mate of mine about doing some workshops here in Australia (I assume you live in America) I definitely would come.

Nope, I live in Australia, and have been in touch with Graeme some years ago now. I may have to touch base!

Yes, talk 2 him please, he recently had Richard Sturgulz here for two 2 day workshops & they were sold out. I'm pleased that you live in Australia.

Thank you ayman!

casually thanks AJ for comment

If God is real it is possible to have life whithout hitting that boundry which atheists hit: the scientific impossibility that nothing created everything. This must mean that life is impossible without someone being outside time, space and matter, if God is outside of everything because he created everything means that God doesnt need to be born, God doesnt need air, time, dimensions to exist. The psalmist says“Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.” - Psalms 93:2 (KJV) Everlasting in the Hebrew is Owlam, so God is from Owlam, or in other words God is outside of limits, he is outside of time, God is almighty, alknowing, all powerful and spoke this creation into existence he is this powerful, the DNA is his handywork, time obeys his voice, the rocks cry out to him in silence, the trees stretch forth their branches to him, the birds sing his praise. He is in full control of everything in existence because he is the creator of ALL THINGS. When God created Man he created Man in his own image, he gave man a consiounce and knowledge of right and wrong, the Lord made Eve for Adam, he knew Adam needed a help meet for him, this also is another way God created man in his image because the word ADAM means more than Just a name, it means all humans when you look at it in the Hebrew which it was written. God made Earth for man and beast, and insects and birds, he made them and it was very good. God even let Adam and Eve be one flesh married and gave them the privelage of reproduction and filling up the earth which God had made. But remember God gave man free will, he did this in love so we can choose to obey him or not, since you may know man didobeyed God, and man was seperated from God's safety, so this is where death, and punishment came from, sin. For sin to be cleansed from man you need a living sacrifice to take Man's sins on itself and put the sin to death. Many religions make people think they can earn mercy from God, this is what cain did if you remember, he trued to give plants to God, when it is when another takes your sin is what really saves you. Basically you cannot earn God's mercy, because its not just, its not right. Noone knows when they will die, tonight when you walk home you could pass out and in an instant your geart could stop and you will be standing before a holy God who Will rightly judge sin. When you crossover to that eternal state where theyre is no going back, on the great day God judges all creation , the prophecy has been spoken. “And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.” - Revelation 20:15 (KJV) The question is not why would God send people to such a place, the question is why wouldnt God rightly judge sin on his standards? Religion cannot save you from being cast alive, damned for eternity into everlasting darkness abd sorrows and suffering frkm the lake lf fire and brimstone. God understands the effect of sin on all creation, thats why he himself stepped down from his throne into fleshh 2000 years ago as Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the sinless sacrifice sent by the God the Father to be beaten beyond human recognition and nailed to a cross to hang and be tormented in all ways, carrying your sins, and even your punishment for sin was placed upon him and he endured your punishnent on that cross and Said "It is finished" and gave up the ghost. When he said these words, it is finished he could have also been saying that justice has been served, your punishment has been met but on him, and then remember he rose again, even the grave couldn't hold the Son of God, John 3 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ³⁵ The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. John 3 ³⁶ He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him. Now I encourage you, you still have time, swallow your pride and humble yourself before God, confess you are a sinner and ask for forgiveness. God will grant you eternal life and now you are saved, turn from your old lifestyle and Iive for Christ:)

Thanks Daniela

Hi Erica, thanks for the comment. I will do a video about the progression from when I first started my career as an artist.

Thanks Lab Mex! Some of my favourite painters are Russian, like Shishkin. Thanks for the comment!

Really? It makes me proud for my motherland. However in university 90% of study time was spend on Artists of Revival, which also amazing but it's strange that Russian's study programm ignored Russians artists. Whatever, thanks for respond!

Seriously, some of the best painters come out of Russia. I don't know what was in the water at that time, but Isaac Levitan, Nicholai Kramskoy, Ivan Ivanovich Shishkin, Nikolay Petrovich Bogdanov-Belsky and Ivan Aivasovsky are some of my favourite of all time. :)

When I was in Tretyakov Gallery - Aivazovsky left the most powerfull effect on me. So he is my favourite too. There is incredible sea energy in his paintings.
