My ART BOOK collection - INSPIRATION and INFORMATION! 

4:11 - favorite part of the video. Your cat and your smile. Too awesome. Thanks for the great book recommendations. I've always loved Sorolla and I need to get a book on his art. The Traditional Oil Painting book is on my list of wants now, as well. Years from now, some great oil painter is going to post a video on favorite books and I'll bet it will include a book of collected art by Andrew Tischler. Keep the great videos and art coming!

Andrew thank you very much to be there for us ; one day i will visit your contry ,newZealand, and try to say hello to you because you are my favorite peinther ; merci beaucoup i am from Quebec;

man you are the light in the dark, thank you very much. I really enjoy your videos and the way you teach

That wedgetail painting behind you is breathtaking.

I really enjoy these videos. When I first started taking drawing seriously and had nno money I used the public library for my book shelf.

Hey Andrew, I’m a little late to the party, but I just want to thank you. Having just started landscape painting your videos are helping me immensely and pushing me to try harder and do better. Thank you.

Andrew If your own book I will definitely buy one cause your work inspired me the most.PLEASE MAKE A BOOK

Always so helpful. Thanks Andrew. You've helped me look at art books in a different way.

What a boost to see what influences your art. Love these videos.

I am thrilled to have you back as my guru. Don’t disappears again .......... please. Love your work & your encouragement. Thank you so much.

Great video, Andrew! I'm going to gather up my current collection and actually see what I've accumulated over the years. I do think it's time I revisited some of my old books and think about getting some new ones. Thanks for the inspiration!

I love the picture of the old man in the background!

Andrew, creating skin texture with oil paint is an issue that is not very well addressed on social media, specially on RU-vid. It would be great to have one of your videos dedicated to this theme. Keep up the great work!

well done Andrew. Thank you for sharing the inspiring tips.

Wonderful video Andrew. Thank you for sharing what artists and which art books inspire you.

Your videos are so interesting and a joy to watch. Thank you.

Thanks Andrew for sharing these book. It is very important from the start to have influence from great artist. The fundamentals take time but well worth the effort

I think I've found my new art hero!

Thank you Andrew for this excellent presentation. I happen to be an ardent collector so this came in so timely!

PLEASE KEEP ON UPLOADING VIDEOS :) IT HAS BEEN HELPING ME THROUGH OUT.

I have the books on glazing and traditional oil painting technique, you are 100% correct on how good they are. Another great, inspiring video, cheers mate

Again, thanks alot for making an informative and inspirational video. :)

Great list of art books! I already have a few of them (Payne, Elliott) and ordered a few more and wish listed the rest. I’ve found several books in the USA at various Goodwill stores. It’s amazing what you can find there and none cost more than $3. For example, I recently bought a large beautiful book on John Singer Sargent - a book that costs $85 new - I purchased for less than $3 in nearly new condition. Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your art library.

yes! finaly a new video

Nice choices, there's nothing better than searching for and buying art books, i'm addicted too!! Love your cat!

Hey, your back! I love this channel. I still watch people who do digital art or ink, but I still love me some painting videos

Great info on art books . Thanks Al

IT'S SO INFORMATIVE THANK YOU

Thank you for sharing your wisdom.

Love your videos, i get you about the details. I'm still trying to get better at blocking in I get to detailed far too early. Have your portrait DVD you did a fabulous job so much information, I go back to them all the time.

I am the biggest Ray Harris Ching fan......and Andrew Tischler. These videos are great.

FINALLY!!

Thanks very much, I have bought this week 3 of the books you advised. Glazing, traditional oil painting and Sorolla. All of them are perfect! I’m very happy with them. Now I’m looking for Tad Kautzkey.

Thank you Tischler

Andrew, that is cool!

Sorolla is something else. The National Gallery in London had an exhibition and that big one point perspective mending the nets or sails painting was just mindbogglingly beautiful.

Hey Andrew, recently discovered your videos and wanted to thank you for putting these videos out - they are very insightful and entertaining! Cheers from Australia :)

Love the books , want a Rungius book.

All of Hans Heysen's work, Elioth Grüner's "Spring Frost" , Streeton, Rupert Bunny, Tom Roberts etc etc. The list of inspiring artists is never ending... and...Andrew Tischler!

I´m waiting for your book to come out!:)

A superb video...I really got a lot out of this

I love "Glazing." I'm a total Michael Wilcox fan. I have several of his books and use his paints and mixing methods. I met Mr. Wilcox at a lecture at the Denver Botanical Gardens through their Botanical Illustration program.

We are fortunate to have some of these books in the public library. I like all of Emile Gruppe's books.

your so inspiring !

Andrew, I think u nailed it.

Never mind the books or all that painting stuff - let's see more of that lovely cat!

Love your passion! :-)

Hi Andrew, new subscriber here to your channel. Can I just say after having a 10year hiatus from art and painting, you have inspired me to pick up a paint brush once again! Thank you.

Thank you for a very informative video.

Great video! Thanks!

Fabulous. My favorite book is Saturno Buttò by The Guide Artists. Amazing quality.

Andrew, you need to mention to us beginners to have a notebook and pen handy when watching you videos as you give so much info, books, authors, artists, paint colours etc to make note of. Really neat you mention WA in your chat, sorry you were broke when there. I am a kiwi but been living is Aussie for years. A question please, does the fact that you have been to Australia give you a better feel for when you are putting paint to canvas. Loving your site

Hi Andrew, thanks for another great video... I was wondering if you would do a video on your sketchbooks? Show us a sketchbook, what your process is & any tips on how to fill up all those daunting white pages... thanks! Much ❤️ from Canada 🇨🇦

Thank you!!!

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 4 favorite books are: - Fantasy Art Paintings by Mike Hoffman - Works of Wonder by Michael Whelan - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

Great video andrew

Andrew… I originally watched this video in 2019. I wrote down the books you suggested and attempted to look for a couple that I thought I wanted to read. I looked in my local libraries.. to no avail. I searched online…. And the ones I could find had HUGE price tags. I have been going to estate sales and always search the books.. just in case. I had given up on the idea. Then today I was going through boxed books I have had boxed since 2012 when I moved. We had not had room to put books out. So they have stayed in boxes for over ten years. However… my aunt was a self taught oil painter.. and a few years ago I decided to learn to paint in oil… a medium I had no experience in but my aunt was accomplished. Long story short.. in 2007 I inherited some of my aunts books and they were in a box marked “art books”. Well today I opened that box and found two books that you suggested… I recognized one by the photo right away… “Glazing”!!! Then I grabbed a few other books to bring in and see if any of them might be “helpful”!! Low and behold one of them was by Theodore Kautzky… “Pencil Pictures”. It is not the “combined” version you suggested. But it has a great basis and I plan on cracking it open tomorrow. The one book you suggested that I truly wanted to read and had been looking for it from every book shelf I passed…. Was the Ted Kautzky book you recommended. It just seemed like the perfect “starting place”. I was shocked tonight when I came here to see if this was “the book”. It may not be the exact book… but this too is a great “start”!! In any case… thank you for your videos… and for your inspiration to many of us here!!

Wow something actually good art-wise from Perth for once lol, gonna go check out at the gallery thanks for the video mate!

love your cat .. love the fact that you are a cat person ... much love to your wonderful cat "Carl Rungus"

wowow great thank u for nice job you doing I think you .amazing master .

Thank you

Great video.

The Ted Kautzkey Pencil Book-- I've actually got this one! I need to read it more thoroughly. I remember I got it because James Gurney recommended the book on his blog, and I have both of Gurney's books. :-)

thanx.. for CC ! andrew sir..

more than anything... liked those rings

Awe thanks for the cat!

Lovely collection. Andrew check out Vladimir Volegov book.I would say you would love it too. That's for me my favourite book to go to to just admire how effortlessly the color is put around. I have to say you are an amazing artist , you can paint any image from animal to landscape. Love your videos. You are on my list of favourite artists together with Vermeer.

Andrew make another how to paint landscapes video!!

I have a book about anders Zorn and his paintings he's just awesome and kind of in between sorolla and sargent what do you think of him ?

Hi sir Will you can guide to create perfect color tone.

Andrew this is the moment i have been waiting for ,its like 2 months since your last video. You have to apologize for making me wait too long !!

I love both Hans Heysen and Edgar Payne. If you haven't got it already, check out Composition of Outdoor Painting by edgar payne. It's amazing!

📖Thank you, Andrew! I love your list of books. Read also related article on this blog “Top books on perspective drawing: my personal choice“: schoolofsketching.com/blog-in-english/topbooksonperspective , you might find it helpful.

What books do you recommend for a beginner

Hi Andrew, I recently stumbled across Hans Heyson's studio in Hahndorf in South Australia. It has been left untouched since the day he passed away. Its an amazing building with extraordinary natural light and space. It even has his last two paintings sitting on the easel. If you get the chance you should check it out. Also on display in another area of the property is his daughters studio and collection of works. I highly recommend it.

Will these books work for me even though I paint in watercolor?

Great stuff... Hans Heysen is also my all time favorite Aussie artist. I visited his Gallery a month or so ago... it was quite an experience. I could feel his presence there. I am a, self taught, high detail animal painter also. My paintings are done using liquid acrylics. I thought I was on the right path with my choice of style and subject, until today. I had been looking around for a suitable gallery or outlet to display my work. I didn't have any success, so I sought the advice from a very well known artist and art show presenter.. no names here, but he is very well known. He didn't pull any punches, he basically told me that high detail animal art is not a desirable format in today's galleries. Unless I was prepared to paint "more contemporarily based" artwork...(his words, not mine.) It stunned me that this was now the case. Over the past eight years or so, I have sold a lot of my artworks, done commissioned work and won several art awards. Now my art style is deemed as undesirable? You are a truly awesome wildlife painter, what are your thoughts on this matter? Has the style we enjoy had it's day? I bought this subject up on my Facebook page, where I have a huge "fan base" that follows my art journey. Their reaction was tinged with rage at the blunt reply i received from the artist. What is going on here? I paint for our people to enjoy and these people, both on Facebook and those who visit my web site, seem to love what I do. Are they too misinformed, art wise, to comprehend what good or bad art should look like? It has got me beat. Here is a link to my latest painting... please tell me where I am getting it wrong... Cheers www.artworkbydallas.com/uploads/2/6/7/8/26789162/published/common-kingfisher.jpg?1530599400

how mach time you need for complete your oil panting?

Andrew, I recommend "Living craft" from Tad Spurgeon. It is a treasure chest. And also "Colour and Light" by James Gurney. Amazing video btw.!

This books fantastics....good

If you love Carl Rungus,, I think you'd love Howard Terpning. He does paintings of old western native american scenes and wildlife. He's fantastic. I enjoy your videos.

You are my Hero and Role Model🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

Uff Finally sir after a long tym u upload a video. I m waitng 4 your next video sir. I love your art work sir, i really inspired by u sir. 😊😊

hey, Andrew. really like you and the way you teach. can you do a video on how you make your drawings on head. As in head construction and measurent

This was really cool Andrew. Is there much illustration type work or graphic art that you're into?

Paint a dragon !!! love your paintings mate

The best

Your videos are anticipating my questions, thanks very much :) Also I can only assume you are a WCE fan...:)

I have that Rungius book too. I bought it in Jackson Hole, Wyoming at a museum that had several of his paintings! It's an amazing book!😊

Aww cute cat

Can you talk about palette knives please - how to mix paint using them and how to paint with them. I’m confused by the different shapes. I realise the ones with cranked handles are to save your knuckles in the paint. Thanks :)

And I named my cat Andrew Tischler!

What about the material books ?

Hi Andrew you are up there with the Master painters!! Do you have videos on painting clouds like the ones you do ? Are there tips to making them look real and not like cotton balls haha

god right after I said "how MORE can I like someone?" to myself the guy pulled out a cat that's named after his favorite artist

Andrew. I really enjoy your work and find it inspiring. I am currently working with acrylics and for some strange reason am afraid to make the jump to oils. I know it’s unfounded. I work between charcoal, watercolor and acrylic all the time. Why the hesitation with oils?!?

hey andrew please do a video how to paint trees

An Italian artist that you could like is Segantini, take a look if you don’t know him , Wild country life from the italian appenin ;)

Are we just ignoring his lovely smile? 4:13

Can you do MURAL ART dude.. like animals mixing in one image !
