My husband and I have been anxiously awaiting you to finish the Country Road painting Thanks so much for showing how you do your great paintings. We love your artwork and you inspire us to get back at doing our paintings.
Another amazing, incredibly beautiful painting. I have to say Chuck, the deer looked pretty flat initially, and I was so curious to see how you were going to make it come alive. Boy did you deliver, just by adding a few highlights to the body of the deer and rubbing it with your fingertips, instantly gave it the 3-d appearance, exposing its muscles and it sure came alive. I enjoyed watching you progress from start to finish. Pure magic!!! Thank you Chuck!
First time I have watched one of your tutorials, I loved it! You are so good at explaining what and why, I learned a lot. I can't wait to watch more of your tutorials.
Thank you for sharing how you made this amazingly beautiful painting. It looks so real, as though one can stretch out a hand and touch that deer. These colours are simply stunning. Congratulations, its a winner for sure.
I love this painting! I was very interested to see that you used a cut out piece of a deer that you had sketched. Really cool. I have seen other artists do this. I enjoy watching you paint and learning about the different techniques that you use.Thanks for sharing !
Wow this man has made me get my hopes up that I can do something like this! I honestly think what makes painting hard is being able to visualize light and dark spots
This third video of this painting is truly amazing. I love the layers of colors and adding the deer really made it even more beautiful. The trees are awesome, the detail work on them really bring your focus to the light shining through the branches and onto the road. Your artwork is truly natural. Great Job!
I am so thankful you take the time to actually show the "how-to" steps! That's just one of the incredible validations you have, as a phenomenal teacher - it is so beneficial and inclusive. The addition of the deer was absolutely awesome, and I'm happy you chose to not use oils, on this one...and I'm mostly an oil painter ;-} This is incredible just as it is! If I were you, this one would be difficult to put up for auction. Fantastic, as always!!! Thanks!!!
Another great painting and very informative video Chuck. I especially appreciated your advice about the trail camera. I definitely intend to look into them. I've heard that one of the most difficult things for an artist to do is know when their work is complete. Your comments at the end of the video about your decision to no longer "add" to the painting was valuable insight on your thought process and I couldn't agree more! Thanks again for sharing.
This is an amazing work. It's hard to believe it was done in acrylics, a testament to your talent as a painter. I would find it hard to part with, were I you. Being brand new to acrylic painting, I will certainly be checking out your other videos. Thank you!. Have a happy and blessed new year.
Just found you on RU-vid...very much liked watching all 3 videos!! I liked the second mostly because I am tree obsessed and love detail.... I have subscribed, will be looking for more!! TY
amazing! loved watching the process! been following this for the past few days and I've looked forward to each video ^_^ I'm definitely inspired and I think I may try my own version tonight after work (yep, I watch you on my breaks lol) you make it look so easy!
I dont know if this is the right place for it, but would you concider doing a video about composition sometime? Btw loving your videos learned loads already :D
Love this! I've painted a winter snowy forest and wanted to add a deer in the background. This is perfect and what I'm looking for except it will be different painting it onto a snowy canvas. Any tips? Thanks
I watched all three sections of this painting. Very informative, especially about how you achieved the light effect and how you mix your paint and of course the details. A bit too detailed for me, but very interesting how you set up with darker shades first and add lighter shades afterwards. I could do without the deer, but even that was informative about your drawing the deer first and then cut it out and adding the cutout to the painting. A very worth while spending 2 and a half hours . Thank you very much for sharing your talent!
do you use a specific liquid to keep the paints from drying? mine always tend to dry very quickly before I can work with then to my liking. do you have any tips for that?
Just like I wrote in my last comment on previous tutorial. My special experience was right there in your face on horse back. But of course you can’t film it as it happens sadly. Beautiful, if I put cameras out, they’d probably get nicked. I’d have to ask at the forestry office if I could put cameras out anyway. We have to prove public liability insurance to ride in Chopwell Woods of a few million. But if you ride a trails bike or off road motorbike you don’t need insurance to ride in the woods. Never understood that, sine surely those are more dangerous to the general public. Bike riders are known to have wiped walkers off their feet on woodland paths and even on one occasion witnessed by a riding friend of mine, the biker knocked the walker out, then just left them lying on the forest floor. She rode to the nearby village asked for assistance for the walker and the showed the ambulance men where he still lay. The owners of these don’t always have private public liability insurance and the forestry commission do not cover any accidents on their land. In fact bike riders never think about insuring and that’s just plain stupid these days, a bike can be just as dangerous as a horse or motor vehicle. Anyway, I love riding and am so lucky to have these woodlands nearby to ride in. I have almost no road work to do, but my pony is very used to traffic anyway, tooting and skidding and huge lorries, fire engine horns or ambulance horns and lights never faze him. What occasionally might is a leave flying up unexpectadly or a cows head popping up from behind a hedge suddenly. Sometimes a paper bag flapping under his feet. But not traffic. I get some brilliant ideas for painting whilst riding across old bridges and over the Derwent river also. Please drivers a little warning. Don’t drive so close to a rider that you take off the riders stirrup iron with your wing mirror, which is what happened to me. Only my ponies calmness in traffic and his trust in me meant we remained totally unscathed. The infomus driver never stopped or look back he just left. Never ever overtake a horse and rider if you aren’t sure you have enough room when faced with an on coming car or lorry. Stay at a very discrete distance behind the horse and wait that tiny few minutes or even seconds it takes to pass everyone safely, and have a good day.
hello!!! podrías poner una franja de traducción a español de lo que explicas??? Sabes, yo soy una fiel seguidora tuya😊...pero lamentablemente no hablo tu idioma😢 Un gran abrazo desde Chile...👐💖
Nice work. But I watched the whole thing because I wanted to see the oils you were going to add. LOL Why would you want to add oils I guess is my question?
paddypointhound , looking from the side, with the left rear leg back, you won’t really see any tail while a deer is strolling. When running, the tail goes up, and you see the white side, and then it’s very visible.
Hey, I really enjoyed this...great job!! I am a feather artist...which means I paint on feathers. If you ever get a chance, take a look on Facebook. I am Tina Richards Studio on FB. Thanks again....I really enjoyed your art! Very Beautiful!
They'll curl their tail in when their trolling like this. It's not the right angle really, you wouldn't see much of the tail if any at all which is why I didn't. It ends up looking a bit unnatural
