You are there. You have created the painting that will stop people and they will say wow. Just block the self doubt as this incredible.

This piece is definitely a stop and say WOW! It’s stunning and I’m pretty sure you’ve made it to professional artist.

Daniel, your art already makes people stop and go WOW!!! Thank you for your tutorials and for sharing your knowledge. Lots of love and admiration!

I love to watch you paint and find your hints and tips invaluable! I DO look at your pieces and think WOW!!! Thank you x

Every time I watch one of your videos I feel like I’ve been given a pep talk! My motivation is reinvigorated, my inspiration to create is stirred, and I learn something new! Keep doing what you’re doing. I think you’re already at a significant WOW, but You’ll be at your own wow-factor goal in no time!

I think you're there. I just started studying painting on my own and your paintings definitely caught my eye. I'm looking at every detail and it inspires me to keep going. :)

Well this is a “WOW” you are inspiring me so much!!!

I stopped and said "Wow.!"... You are amazing!

The black and white version is just as beautiful!!!

You are already a professional. Your work is mind-blowing. !!!!

Wow wow wow!!!!!!! Just amazing!!!!

This beautiful piece is a *double WOW! Thank you for showing us your process in creating it!

Your work seems very professional to me as is. That's the beautiful thing about art in general, it is open for interpretation and copious amounts of improvement. Thank You for sharing this amazing piece.

I haven't the words it's like a real lion,amazing talent!

Your work definitely has the wow factor Daniel. You have certainly given me inspiration to try acrylic painting. Thank you for your very helpful videos.

That's the piece that make people stop and look and say WOW!!!

WOW WOW WOW :) I love it! What I also love most about this video is how you were reflecting on becoming a professional artist....and I've just wathced a newer video of yours where you have now accomplished your goal!! Well done sir!

Technically, you are there, I'd say waaaaay beyond there! I'd be very much interested in seeing a piece of yours that does not emulate something already photographed. With your vast experience painting animals and such, it'd be great to see an original composition of yours with those elements.

Wow, there you go you got it, this is fantastic and defo has the wow factor. x

I agree I always pause and admire your work and it does have the WOW factor! Thank you for all of your tips!

Omgosh this is stunning. I recently just came across you and you have blown me away. You've inspired me like no other. You have the wow factor that's for sure. I've truly never have seen anything like it. I know this video is a couple years old but I can't wait to see everything you have. God bless your God given talent. Wow wow wow!!!

I am trying to be a professional artist.. I loved your comments about not be content but strive to be better all the time. It is my Moto too. Love your work. Wow!

1st time watching your video and mate thats one big WOW !!!!

Well, you got a huge "wow!" from me! I paused at 10.09 and looked at the detail of the fur and wrinkles on his nose. Incredible and thanks for the video. Really inspirational

Wow!!! 👌👌👌 You most definitely are there. You are incredibly talented. I've watched lots of your tutorials and I'm just blown away. My dream is to be able to paint like you one day.

An extraordinary job

That's a wow piece of work tiger wicked

You're a pro man. Awesome work

amazing 👍 it the drive that im struggling with as a wildlife photographer ive got plenty that could be converted over to oil . watching your vids has just given me some inspiration.

super helpful tutorial. Thank you!

Seriously incredible work. I love this so much

Absolutely amazing I definitely wowed

I say WOW! every time I look at your art. To me, you are way up there as an artist. I dream to be half as skilled as you someday

I know what you mean by that WOW factor in art. Sometimes I feel like I'm still searching for that 'thing' that makes my art stand out from the pack. What makes it more than just a pretty picture or something that's been done a million times before. I'm looking for my unique perspective that can start a new art-ism. I work on improving, learning and growing my art everyday and look to other artists for constant inspiration. You are definitely one of those artists. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent with the world.

This is definitely professional

Your tutorials are inspiring, I think you already have the WOW!

WOW! You are a Pro! ❤️

Honestly, you've already done it... even just watching your videos and subscribing because I said to myself "wow" this guy has done it, his work looks wow and he has something I can learn from.

Incredible, so inspiring. Thank you

You have brilliant qualities. You are not only a good teacher... the umility that you have as a person and as a artist it is rare, the pearl of this video, what I found artistic it is you as a human being. Exceptional. The painting is truly amazing, I love the details; but most of all you are authentic and that makes your art unique💙 Your videos are helping people like myself that love drawing and painting but can't have the luxury to attend art classes. Thank you

You are so far down your journey. Well done. I just starting. I’m curious as to how many sittings this was?

You are a wow artist

Stunning work as always

Beautiful ❤...will surely mention you on insta when I try it myself. Thanks a lot for sharing. It really helped 🙏

Love this, Daniel. Always enjoy yours and Amber's work. Do you mind me asking which projector you used here? Thank you! 🙂

Love it!

i know you copied the image so was made easier in that sense but this is still professional level to me, I'm self taught & only done a couple of paintings by roughly sketching first with pencils & although there are useful aids like the grid to keep correctly aligned etc i refuse to do it as i feel im kind of cheating but that's just me, i try to make it as hard as possible so to speak, i certainly did that by painting Ben hur with the chariots & horses & the biblical painting of Sansom & Delilah my first ever attempts on canvas that was 36x24 inch, im a painter decorator by trade but have always loved Art ,using oils is my preference as i know the characteristics of the paint & they seem to give a deeper colour as opposed to Acrylic, i just need to know what brushes to use for certain techniques etc, good work 👏

Superb!

Absolutely stunning Daniel! I currently work in pastel and coloured pencil but really would love to give acrylics a go. Do you have any videos about what materials to use when starting out?

This is a beautiful piece! 👏 Your patience and determination is inspiring. I know what it's like not having much time to paint and also I don't have much space! Your tips are really helpful! Thank you!

Wooooooooowwwwww

Fantastiskt❤❤❤❤❤

Hi love your work,I was woudering do you have video's for someone who is just begining like me?

👏👏

That is a beautiful piece, wow! What size canvas did you use for this work?

Nick Sider painted the exact lion with water. I think you guys used the same reference photo. If you guys have the same exact painting, how do you deal with copyright when it comes to art business? Just curious.

Good shit bro wherever you are is alot further from me

Hey there I'm a starting artist, and I just need a little help, so I'm painting this kinda fantasy cream lion with black markings... I need help in how to actually get the colours to match...

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

this totally makes me stop for a WOW🎉

Is it possible to purchase the actual outline image?

How long did it take you to complete this one?

Please put the original reference photo in the corner of the video screen so that we can follow your commentary and reference to the photo too. Thank you.

I don't understand why why and why good artist views are low

WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW you are nowhere close to being a professional artist???? Are you kidding me? Your art are masterpieces!!!!!
