I felt emotional at the end when you said they told you in art school landscaping was dead well you sir, have brought it back to life. I am inspired by you. I can feel a small fire in my belly. x

One word: FANTASTIC!

You by far are the best all round painter I've ever seen! I'm a 63 year old painter and never ha e I seen such talent.

I've come to the conclusion that this man is one of the Old Masters, who just happened to be born in the Twentieth Century.

I feel like i found a secret treasure finding your tutorials....absolutely soaking it up like a sponge. thank you so much for your teachings

Hello Andrew.....I am a retired professional Director and Consul. Being born in the South Island of NZ as part of my bucket list, I chose learning fly fishing and painting NZ South Island landscapes. One of my greatest successes was when I discovered your videos. I have been an avid fan ever since. You have inspired, motivated and taught me so much. You have given me so much pleasure from learning and progressing knowledge experience and importantly results. Thank you so very very much PS I am retired living on the Kapiti Coast. We are planning a motor home visit back to the South rugged landscape including many of the sites you have painted. I am looking forward to this so much Regards Doug

Who wants a full Landscape painting DVD? And before I get started on production hit me up with some replies here about subjects for landscape you would like to see. Think global and interesting! Variety is good! Go!

Great video from a wonderful channel. Art books have provided me a much-needed escape from real life. I have my easy chair set up with a desk, a lamp, a blanket and a cup of coffee. I spent many hours with dragons, unicorns, space battles, pixies, knights, and now with my National Geographic books, the vast undersea world of the coral reefs. My art books are the best investments I ever made. My 3 favorite books are: - Works of Wonder by Michael Whelan - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

All i can say is, i wish i had run into your videos 25 years ago...LOL you are an amazing teacher, i have gained an entirely new perspective on landscape and floral painting. I love the orgaized pallet concept. But the blending of earth tone colors and high light colors has eluded me. Most of my paintings tend to be very bright. I fo understand atmospheric perspective and making changes to foreground shadows that push the distant subject back, but your teaching shows me ways to achieve that in a different way. I love it. Looking foward to painting something very different and very original.

I can't tell you how much I appreciate these videos. I finally picked up a brush at 52 years old after watching my mother paint when I was young. Somehow I managed to find your videos and have consumed them greedily ever since. We're starting tomorrow using your videos with my kids in their homeschooling art classes. 10 of 10, sir. The manner in which you explain what it is that you're doing and why you happen to be doing it, and the simplicity with which you explain everything really makes sense to me. I've ordered a few new colors for my collection of paints based on your colors in your videos and have even written down your color formulae as you talk about them and am using the Gamblin paints since my kids are with me in my office/study where I work and paint. Great stuff overall. Thank you, sincerely.

60 years of art, this is the most brilliant! I am tired and sick, young people he is the master!

I love his paintings and his passion for landscapes in New Zealand.

You not only inspire me to paint, but also to visit the beautiful New Zealand again, thanks so much!

You're the best painter and teacher. I thank God I came to this channel.

SO much content!! You rock!!

Andrew, Holy Cow! You're my new hero. I'm so happy to have found you on youtube. Thanks for this great instruction. I was about to begin a new landscape painting. While the base coat is drying, I've stumbled on this video. I think some of your tips will help bring me to the next level. Thanks again for posting.

Every painting you’ve drawn has its own soul, that’s amazing! Thank you for an opportunity to see your workflow, that’s really a treasure!

I really love and enjoy your videos, you are the best discovery on my search for art techniques, thank you so much, you even show the colors you use, oh wow I can't believe, you are so awesome.

PALM TREES ... can't get enough palm trees and tropical waters mmmmmmm...... coming from you it would be another masterpiece

Fun! Really enjoy your edges, light and temperature effects.

You deserve more. 🥺♥️ Thank you so much.

You are making landscape painting very alive Andrew, you are amazing!!

Wow! The way those sparkles on the water bring that last piece to life was just magic. Loved that deep teal colour of the water shadows too. Mesmerising stuff.

Andrew Tischler your paintings are amazing. You are a master of the landscape and an excellent teacher. Thank you very much for all the work that you are doing. I'm very very thankful for the opportunity you have given us. This video has inspired me tremendously. Thank you

Fantastic, coming from New Zealand I often forget to appreciate what is in front of me, it is not until I see images captured by photographers, film makers or artists such as yourself that I am truly in awe of what is on my doorstep. I have to say your trees do me in, absolutely blow me away. I look forward to following your adventures.

I love seeing the landscape come to life on your canvas. It’s truly a wonderful experience 🙏🏻

The sense of depth is amazing Andrew. And I'm no longer intimidated by the idea of painting a landscape. Thank you! ❤️

Finally someone who did real good landscape paintings and videos. Thanks man . Is all great...

Great work Andrew you are a pro

I have been painting for a very short 3 years or so. I watch many videos as how to paint. Each painting I get better. I think it will take ma many more years to get anywhere close to your level. I love Bob Ross painting and that is where I started. I love to paint but at my age, 65, I don't have much longer to learn. My biggest problem is not being able to draw. I am horrible at it. lol I won't stop though, I love the challenge. Thanks again for your lessons.

As always, you leave us breathless with your ART.

Never cease to amaze me Andrew! Not only the incredible teaching value but the video capture, the shots, the music, I know all the extent you went to get all this excellence! The editing alone was a work of art! I'm super inspired! Thank you!

Stunning work, Andrew. I can really feel the energy of those mountains.

Man, between yourself and Michael James Smith, I think I am set! I would love to do what you do! Travelling to stunning parts of this gorgeous country and putting it onto canvas. Last week, I spent some time in Mt Aspiring National Park and walked the Young-Wilkin circuit. The scenery was just mind blowing, and I've spent a fair bit of time in our mountains and special places. Lake Cruicable, in particular, was awe inspiring. The kind of place that makes you feel tiny and insignificant. The sort of place that begs to be put on canvas. I've got plenty of photos from my wanderings of some truly beautiful landscapes, and I hope one day to be good enough at this to do them justice. Hakatere Conservation Area (as unlikely as it may seem) has yielded one of my favourites.Your paintings are just stunning. I'm so pleased to have found both yourself and Michael's tutorials, and I hope that one day, I might be a skerrick of as good as yourselves :)

Great information for a very late bloomer. I can't get enough of this valuable info. I have so many scenes in my head of places I visited in my life; and returning to a place of my youth last year triggered a desire to relive those landscapes by painting them. Thanks for giving me the courage to press on and at least enjoy the process. Thanks a bunch.

I really love your videos, and I'm learning so much. Thank you very much.

your amazing! thanks a lot for creating all these stuff for us!

bravo Andrew; thank you to be there for us ; beautiful work^merci beaucoup from Québec canada

Yes! I want as many DVD's that you make. I own 3 already. I love New Zealand and everyone I met there. I met some good friends from Christchurch and Wellington and they visited me in Colorado and I visited them in New Zealand. I fell in love with the country and the people. Keep up the beautiful paintings and especially the DVD's. Love your work!!!

Stunning paintings and a brilliant teacher!

You really did 3 masterpieces here, beautiful sense of space and light !

It’s official, you are now a painting mentor to me. Great job Teacher.😄🙏🏼🙏🏼

Awesome paintings & teaching too. I paint for many years but not landscapes and I will start doing that guided by your videos. Thanks for your generosity of showing us all details without hiding the tricks.

I just keep watching these over and over carn't stop so inspiring it helps me to get fired up to go back to paint outside senes

Awesome,beautiful scenery. Love it all.

You are bestst art teacher Sir ❤ Thank You so so much for all instructions, steps, and all & everything from painting process to brushes, mediums, canvas boards..!! 😇 thank You so much!!

Phenomenal. I learn SO much from just watching you apply the paint (and translating it into acrylic, for me). In just 30 minutes, you covered more than most of my art teachers during a semester years ago!

thanks Andrew for everything you've done for us !

Spectacular!

YOU are amazing, and I could watch these videos all day.

Just wow. Look at these paintings! Extraordinary

Hi Andrew. I have just discovered your channel on RU-vid and have just watched the videos on mediums and then the 3 New Zealand landscape videos. Thank you so much for making those available. You have inspired me to crack out the oils again (having convinced myself that I should work in Acrylic). Living in The South Island of NZ I understand your love of the place and am looking forward to putting your teachings into practice and capturing more of it myself. Again, sincere thanks. I love your work

Brother I love these videos. Live the intros, your voice and enthusiasm. I fire up a coffee and dig in. Thanks my friend.

What I learned with this video is that I've been neglecting visiting New Zealand for too long - and a bunch of techniques! Really a wonderful place and very inspiring indeed.

Just wonderful and inspiring👍😎🇺🇸

All in one video Any one can easily understand and all so learn from it. A big thanks to Andrew Sir

Hello Andrew! I want to thank you for inspiring me to paint once again. Not only am I inspired to paint, but you've caused me to look at things differently. In the past I only painted portraits. People and animals were my ONLY subjects. I never put them in a field or mountain scene or even in a living room! Well, I did use a park bench and a partial landscape in my son's family portrait, because I used a photo and that's what was in it. Also, because they're my family and I wanted them to have a nice keepsake. But, I'd never considered a landscape or still life as the subject of my paintings. I'm a realist, as you are, and I concentrated on getting a good likeness of my live subjects to the exclusion of anything else. A typical portrait would simply have a colored background, if you get what I'm saying. Watching your tutorials over the last several months has caused me to LOOK at things in a more artistic way. For instance, yesterday I was walking my dog through a field and we came across a bush with varying shades of green and gold leaves and I thought how interesting that would be to paint! The golden leaves of fall would make a nice colorful subject or a great highlight in the background for a portrait! It's a new way of thinking about the outdoors and things in general for me. And, I give credit where credit is due, Andrew. YOU have inspired me to - as you might say - take my art to a new level! That said, it's been so long since I painted my last portrait - 3 or 4 years, I believe - that I'm completely out of oil paints, mediums and my brushes have gotten hard from sitting too long and, I suppose, not cleaning them properly the last time they were used. Perhaps I could bring some of them back to life again using the dish detergent method I watched in one of your tutorials. But, mostly, I felt I needed a new start and bought a lot of new supplies. No, I didn't spend nearly $500! Lol, since I live on Social Security, I had to keep my art budget under $200, but it was barely under, like $180! And, I did need everything I got and then some, but I'm good at mixing my colors, so I purchased just the 3 primaries plus ivory black and lots of titanium white! I noticed you said you'd switched to a lead white, but I'm kind of afraid of lead-based paint and I HOPE titanium white doesn't contain lead, but I've never checked. I'm trying out some Liquin medium, recommended by you, which I'd never used before. I'd always used plain gum turpentine and linseed oil, creating my own mixes. I'm also guilty of mixing so-called "flesh tones" for my subjects, without adding the reds, blues, yellows and greens I've seen you put into a subject's face, so I've decided to try this and see if I can make it work for me, slowly at first. I'd hate to paint a pretty face and have her come out looking like a clown! So, I'm going to keep it subtle, subtle, subtle and re-watch your portrait tutorial of the model Stephanie, before adding any outrageous color combinations. I'm keeping my eyes on the shaded areas of skin to see if I can actually pick up some blues, yellows and greens in them. I should probably re-watch your quick tutorial on "How to Mix Skin Tones," before making a mess of things.I also may try the Photo Shop class at Skill Share, especially if they're still offering 2 months free. Well, I've taken up enough of your time, Andrew, so you can get back to your painting, but I do want to compliment you on your attention to detail, particularly in lighting. I need to set up some sort of lighting in the art-dedicated area of my bedroom, which is all I have for a studio at the moment, but there are a lot of windows in this room. Perhaps you could tell me how to use the natural outdoor lighting coming through these 6 large windows? First, of course, I'll need to remove or pull back the draperies. I have dark, light blocking drapes for those many nights I don't sleep and have to make it up during the day, but the windows are all around the room, so I should be able to light a subject well from any angle, with some recommendations from you! Thanks again for all the great tutorials! They've been an inspiring benefit for many, I'm sure, but they definitely have for me. Sincerely, Shushannah

You are truly talented not only as a painter or artist but also as a teacher. You do make it look easy. I hope to apply your teachings soon enough. Thank you for sharing such knowledge. May God bless you.

Magic mate! Bloody magic!

The quality of your paintings and your instructional videos are outstanding. Thank you so much!

In the first demo, its almost like you can see the clouds slowly moving, such a beautiful painting, not all cool paintings have to be large settings and that one is one of them:) Thanks for your guidance!

More great work Andrew, Many thanks, you are a wonderful inspiration

BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE !!!

Wow! Beautiful! Thank you Andrew.

Thank you Andrew! Very helpful information!! So wonderful of you to help !

OMG, every painting you do is just breathtaking. Makes me feel like giving up watercolour to paint in oils. Your detail, lights, darks, colour, everything is just so perfect. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful art.

Andrew, Thanks so much for all of your instruction, and for your generous spirit. Yours are truly the best quality instructional videos out there. Both the in-depth videos and the quick clips are full of meaningful information and your love of the medium and subject matter make them a delight to watch. I am a long time professor of painting in New York, and I have learned something new from every one. I also refer my students to your site. I am also a lover of landscape painting, and find ways to work the genre into even my more "imaginative" flights of fancy. I'd like to make a request for a more in-depth look at painting clouds when you have the time. thanks again!

I love that you explain your color mixes. I am a colorblind painter and it is extremely helpful to hear what is being used. Thanks! Keep them coming! You're fantastic

Honestly thank you so much I usually end up giving up when I try to paint with oils but your tutorials help inspire me and keep me going

As Kiwi who has traveled every inch of NZ these interest me more then any photo I have ever taken. bloody stunning.

Thank you, I've never heard that before, and I'm not going to question it.

If someone truly listened to what you are saying, and followed your process, they wouldn't need art school! You are condensing tons of information (years of knowledge) into a 30 minute clip. More like three 10 minute examples.. but hey, the beauty of oleo gel allows you to spend all that exrtra time you needed to produce and edit these awesome video productions! Thanks mate.

Extraordinary and inspiring. Thanks Andrew.

i love your paintings and videos Andrew! breathtaking!

I have been to NZ twice. Each time for 6 months. I have painted over most of NZ must mostly South Island. When I am stuck for what to paint I go to my s and sketches of NZ, a river or a lake always seems to get in the painting. Thanks for the demo, it brought back wonderful memories

I am shocked to see 2 DISLIKEs by jealous and lay back people. Ignore them..you are a Great artist and tutor. I enjoy the way you teach with additional knowledge and talk about painting and wonderful place. Fabulous job.

I'm in awe!

Brilliant! It's so valuable to have this resource. Thank you!

Awesome!! Any would be great, lakes, rivers, mountains, trees, forests,,,,go go go !

So beautiful landscape painting you do, Andrew. I learnt a lot!!!

Hi Andrew ! I had the chance to visit Milford Sound, Glenorchy and all around New Zealand... Back there, my friends an I used to say that no camera picture in the world could give justice to the ridiculous beauty of those landscape and sceneries. But here... Even on a video footage, I can see that justice has been done with your paintings! ^^ Thank you for bringing those memories back... Congratulations on the amazing pieces of Art you create... And thank you once again for sharing these free painting lesson, it's invaluably benefic to the apprentice I am. :) Cheers !

Thanks for sharing - appreciated you taking us through this experience ✍️👌

Beautiful painting- I love it- with a few brush strokes you do create landscape illusion to admire. Thanks for the lesson, I may apply it one day.

As usual, you inspire me to paint. I am so thankful for your knowledge and inspiration..

I learned a lot through this video as well as your others, thanks again for holding nothing back and clearly explaining as you go along. I look forward to watching this one many more times and hopefully giving oil painting a try

Stunning, stunning work.......

Your paintings are remarkable, and editing is amazingly informative. Thank you!

Amazing! Truly excellent, both actual nature and the paintings.
