I tried painting flowers like the masters 

Bro is baked af

People always complain about anatomy and proportion but imo rendering is way way harder. Especially realistically.

I hope you blow up. For real It makes me so happy to see that there are a new wave of art content creators on this platform 🎉.

When I was in my late 20s early 30s I decided oils were too easy and started doing master copies with watercolors. You should try it. It will tear your self esteem and confidence in your work to shreds. Then , if you make it through the torture, you will gain a new level of control. Also, where I live in Japan we can get lead paints and real vermilions and such.

This was so chaotic yet informative and entertaining. I like it. I admire how you really push yourself. *subscribed*

Great video. I especially liked when you pointed out that copying a master or learning something new should be uncomfortable. If it’s not uncomfortable then I’m not trying. That will be my new mantra. I subscribed

Best art content creator wish there was more content

Realistic flowers are really hard! No wonder LaTour's hair looks pulled out! White on white---mix all your colors with white. My favorite floral painter is Heade, But you are doing very bravely and well.

I have been praying for this to exist. You have done what i wish i could do. Please tell us about every detail in more videos.

10/10 to the Oblivion soundtrack in the background, had the chills the whole video

You’re incredibly relatable and hilarious. Thanks for being so honest about the artist journey

This is gonna blow up 0 doubt. Also, dedicating your life to painting is a much better decision then dedicating it to coding. You make real things, and get to take pride in that. This is a privilege software engineers rarely get to see.

Im impressed by yours style of painting and talking about it. I’m waiting for next videos

Great video ! I paint with watercolor, and have been learning the same lessons. Most of the time the things that look simple and easy, are so much harder then I thought they were. I just keep at it until I'm happy and learned from doing it.

I am watching Phil Stark color video, your channel showed up. Really enjoyed all of them. Human brain has been developing over millions of years. The old masters spent a lifetime learning and perfecting one craft. Modern humans have so much distraction, most artists want to discover a lighting moment instead of going through the process of training. Keep up with the good work, your videos are filled with knowledge and inspiration

Something you miss entirely was how much of the impasto work of the Henri Fantin-Latour in those lilies(and general) is actually scraped off/shapen with a wooden tip or a painting knife. In general discovering the power of the painting knife/scrape can help you with the value mistakes from the beginning as well (Although I doubt that madness was ala prima to begin with). Painting knife can helps with keeping just the minimal required paint layer on the canvas, and with thinner layer you get more control of the values. Its kind of the closest thing to 'undo' in the digital medium. But also using oil ground is key, acrylic gesso can be too absorbent/too easily tinted.

Interesting (and funny) to hear your thoughts about the experience, its not easy to find people talking about their learning process as they go through it in this way thanks for sharing :D 👍

Thank you for making such a good, high quality video and commentary, I was honestly surprised when you mentioned the subscriber count. Beautiful work on the video and especially on the paintings.

Just found your channel and I love your humor as well as your dedication !

Lol I love it, I'm glad u documented this whole journey 😆

Bro how high are you when you make these videos lol you look so stoned in all the ones ive watches so far. Love the content brother thanks for the inspiration fr

new fav artist on youtube! this video was a delight

You are the SNL of painting instruction. I would say the Pete Davis of painting. Awesome introspection with humor and honesty. I love your work.

Aye! I'm also enjoying a glass of whiskey and a doink👌 and the painting is primo💪🔥👌

loved this, inspired me to draw for the longest time now! may your creative journey flourish :D

Only 73 upvotes?! That’s a crime. This is incredible. Subscribed.

Don't be so hard on yourself remember you are great at what you do. You are way too hard on yourself. Remember we want your interpretation of the world you see. Dope makes you too hyper critical.

Ga damn dude I love this content

Your perspective is quite unique and I'm really loving this channel. Are your monologues from improvised or scripted out beforehand? You're actually a fantastic writer (or orator)

Great video!

i'm proud of u xox ox oxoxoxo

I accidentally spaced out for a second before hearing about eating the paint

Ok. Subscribed

I love you.

i fugure you d be better off with first painting some flowers from life and then doing mastercopies of those paintings

he said 50 subs. now hes at 150k almost

here before you blow up 🤠

Day 1 Asking you to paint dinosaurs. Ceratosaurus.

Has anyone ever told you you look like a young tom cruise?

7:06 the grass is not greener. I also wonder why I do this to myself, I could've been an artist instead.

Good info, but you look soooo high! 🥴 Maybe that's just how your eyes naturally look?

Your video(/s) may be popular with the ladies due to the fact that roughly 60-70% of fine art students are typically female, as distinct from the proportion of successful female artists 😂

I think you would make an excellent brain surgeon. I'm serious. You don't need to do something that has already be done.

Listen to Brian Rutenberg he says why do something somebody has already done. No you don't need to be inside some dead artist. Just do you. You might be surprised. Yes look how Cecily Brown has taken old paintings and made them abstract. With bits of the human body all over the place.

You look like Jesse Spencer but also not

Do you want to create art or create perfect copies of art. Go back to Van Gogh and the guys that created an impression. Maybe try embroidery. When you think that the impressionists and people thereafter rebelled against these anal retentive masters for a reason. Just get free and paint you use your mind too much. Or just take a photo.

Scumbling. Just wait till you learn scumbling. With transparent washes between.

If you are the most skilled artist but you are the only one to see it then you are the worst artist. That's my opinion.
