WOOPS: 45 minutes in we had a one minute glitch due to bad weather during our live recording. We lost audio and the video goes on fast forward for about one minute, then resumes it's normal sound and speed. It fortunately happened during painting a few of the tiny flowers os I think all and all it should be ok. Thanks, Ginger
Vincent Van Gogh is my favorite of the old artist. I love this painting, and your showing of this. You are AMAZING Ginger. I love your art history, as well. I always liked listening to my art teachers explain the history of these old artist, almost as well as doing art. Thank you so much, Ginger and Jon. 😊😊😊
I love this. You guys are so silly too, and I love listening to you talk while painting. You are a great teacher. I do your flower tutorials step by step mixing my paint just like you say, and my paintings look good. I can even draw when you show me how. Thanks.
Hi Guys. I love Van Gogh. After painting his boots with you I want to paint a few more of his paintings. Thanks Jon and Ginger. CAN I PAINT THIS PAINTING ON A LARGER CANVAS ?
I learn so much from you Ginger! From history and the always fascinating lives of the masters to color and technique! Everything I have learned on color mixing is invaluable! Thank you, this is stunning and one of my favorite paintings! Hi John!
Absolutely the best tutorial video I’ve watched in the 2 years I’ve been painting. Learned a lot by your demonstrations. Others call themselves tutorial videos, but really they are more “demonstrations”. Thanks
Gorgeous, Ginger! Thank you for laying out the simple palette for this. I have always wanted to try this and will give it a go this week now that I have some time off! ❤️
Well I finally got to this one. I love to listen to you and Jon talk and loved hearing more about Van Gogh. I just recently watch the animated movie Loving Vincent. I did this painting on an 8x10 to see how I liked it and now I think I am going to paint it again larger. I might try in on 24 x 36. Thanks for another fun lesson.
Ohh! - What a wonderful surprise I had this morning when I saw you had chosen to paint the Almond Branches. I am a huge fan of Vincent's work and have read much about his life. This painting has been on my 'list to paint' for a while so to have this tutorial is awesome for me. I painted the Starry Night painting a while ago, following your tutorial ( I didn't think I had the skills to do it). It took me a while but I was pleased with it in the end, thanks to your great tuition. The whole thing was a great experience for me & I loved to hear you talk about Vincent's life, helping to inspire me while painting. Many many thanks again for everything. xxx
Yes - I watched the first one but by the time I went to post a comment, you had uploaded the replacement. I have watched it twice already lol. Sorry to hear about your bad weather. Please keep safe. xxx
Hi Ginger, thank you very much for this tutorial! Vincent is my favourite artist and I love to learn to paint his paintings in acrylics! Vincent himself gave this original to his brother's baby as a gift of birth. Theo named his son also Vincent in order to honor his brother, and I think that made Vincent very happy. He felt, that those almond blossoms represent new life.
I looked this van Gogh painting up!! and I notice how much detail is in it!! it must have took him ages, its a brilliant piece I think, I look and study art and some of his stuff was truly AMAZING.
Thanks Ginger for this painting you have given me such inspiration. Only started painting/playing about a month ago and find your explanations so easy to follow and common sense. I am still finding my way round your chanels and I have found Cinnamon's tutorials too - down to earth, and fun., Many thanks. Xtine
Thanks Nancy. We lost the feed about a minute around 45 minutes in, but it picks up fine after that. We had to reupload the video... Ahhh the challenges of recording live..
Love this and learning more about V.v.G! About split pea soup, I wasn't a fan as a child, then as an adult I discovered that I love it! Turns out it's a vegan version of split pea soup, that I love, especially because I can be in charge of the seasoning. So yummy!
This was great, love your show so much, and when you were talking about all the dag on password stuff, it for everything I was in shock when I saw you using black! BEAUTIFUL piece!
Its fun to break the rules once in awhile. But look how old that tube of black was. Its funny but Utrich is very good paint as it was not clumpy or think after 20 years or so.
i’m trying to handpaint a cell phone case and wanted to do a van gogh painting and i’m excited to use this tutorial for it , you’re so sweet and lovely and this is so nice
Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials! I especially love this one! You have taught me so much....God bless you for being so generous and sharing your knowledge !! 💗
No what you wan to do is to join our FACEBOOK art club, (free) and post me the picture. Here is the link. facebook.com/groups/GingerCookClub/search/?query=%20%20%E2%96%BC%20%20%20Diana%20Marsh%20
It is a very easy painting. We would do a simple version of this when I taught painting evening painting parties at Merlot2Mastepiece. No one ever had a problem with it.
Ginger you crack me up your feelings on apps,bells and passwords had me laughing so hard I almost p'd myself ,great painting lesson I love this piece by Van Gogh thank you for brightening my day! :)
Thanks so much. I am so happy you enjoyed the tutorial. Some years ago I got in a Jury pool right before I was heading out of town for vacation. My daughter Cinnamon said; "Just tell them what you really think Mom and they will not pick you!" LOL
I really enjoyed this lesson. It was my first time watching you and I found it easy to follow and I learned a lot. You are a very good teacher. Thank you.
Hi Ginger, thanks for showing my "on-the-go" painting of oranges and cherries. Sorry I missed this live - for some reason I unsubscribed myself so I missed the bell twice! Anyway, per Facebook conversation, I look forward to your tips on packing a travel kit of painting materials.
You actually did not unsubscribe your self. RU-vid just does that to people arbitrarily if they think a channel is not watched enough. Its very annoying for those of us who have RU-vid channels because daily they take away perfectly fine subscribers while adding new ones.
Oh I so love this one ty you so much for sharing your gift . I am going to paint this one for a fundraiser for the children hospital in Boston mass wish me luck.
awww guys I fell a sleep , I tried to stay awake grrrrrrrr, even had tooth picks on my eyes lol.. I wanted to b in chat with you. O well I got reply thank god.. really loved this painting ginger Vincent is my old time favourite, love you guys x :-)
I have an almond tree and it doesn't look like this. Vincent Van Gogh was a genius to be able to express his own view of things through painting like this. And so are you Ginger to be able to reproduce paintings from the old masters, and your own style rocks too.
Hi Ginger. I really loved the background underpainting. I am thinking how I can apply it to other paintings. Just thinking about it as I like it so much. I am thinking it would be nice with yellow and orangey flowers or fruits. Love this one but branches are challenging to me. The Crocker movement may help. Very interesting how you did the dark blue branch first then filled in the green. Very pretty Ginger.
Ginger, I am quite impressed with your work. Does one dilute the acrylic paint with a little bit of water ? I just want to know and have a great answer from you so that I can proceed. Thank you in advance for a response. Thank you so much 💓!
I like a damp brush but not a wet one. It depends on the brush you are using and the type of paint. A heavy body paint like Golden just needs a damp brush that has been wiped off on a towel to shape it. But if you want a thinner glaze you can use more water. I rinse my brush in water when changes colors that are complements.
@@gingercooklive I thank you so much for your reply. With such few words, you explained so much. Thank you and have wonderful holidays to come. Cheers Ginger!
I have seen it with dark wine color around the edges like alizarin crimson and magenta with white towards the center. You can make a dark red by adding ultramarine blue to it too.
Hi Ginger, You are awesome as always, your tutorials are amazing.! Thank you! On the topic of your cataract surgery, are you having both eyes done for distance vision? I ask because my friend's eye doctor told her she could have one eye for distance and one eye for intermediate, so she won't need glasses for the computer, mobile device and shopping, its called "monovision" She will still need glasses for fine print and reading. Did your doctor give you that option? As an artist would you consider monovision? Just curious. Thank again for yoru wonderful work! All thumps up for me!!!
I just need reading glasses. they did offer me that option but it was another $3-4K an eye. NO kidding. and could not say it really worked all the time. You could spend that money and still need glasses so I just opted to continue with reading glasses and not spend another several thousand dollars as medicare paid for my eyes.
Acrylic are basically a plastic based paint and when dry and are permanent. Poster paint while water based, erase when wet again. try it but make sure they are very dry before adding layers of paint where I have dried my painting. don't use a lo of water, and use just a damp brush.
just to let you know guys. 45, 46 mins into video you went on automatic fast forward!! don't know if it was RU-vid or what! didn't miss much thank goodness. I was like whowwwwww slow down ginger lol x
Just to let you know around 46 minute it all garbled up ...and fast forwarded during part of the recording...so it appears that it messed up during live? ??? But I love this painting and really wanted to use your tutorial to paint it. Something different for me.
Thanks I saw that. It goes for about one minute and resumes. I made an annotation at the spot and explained it is about a one minute glitch. We lost feed about 3 times last night during the recording of this.
Yes I think so. Its made in New York. They had a store here in Houston but it closed after a couple of years. I think they just do online. Its actually less expensive that other top brands of professional acrylics as it is sold factory direct.
