You are NOT lacking subject material | OIL PAINTING toy still life demonstration, colour mixing! 

This is epic..... each toy carries a story and gives the sense of honor for beloved items. Your grandchildren will one day adore the visual story captured with love. Thanks for the inspiration!

Love the composition. Also I love to see an array of toys, not plastic things. Your lucky son. You're capturing a moment in your life.

The stroke of a modern Master

That is so beautiful. Whoever gets it, probably your son, will cherish it. It’s wonderful and nostalgic like the old masters but also quite bright ❤

This is really a portrait of your son. Bravo.

I bought your dvd, then I downloaded the ebook. Thank you. After 4 years in art school I can say one thing. Andrew Teacher is the best Tischler of my life!

Three weeks ago I felt I had to do something about my painting style. It had felt to me I got stuck somewhere in between without moving forward. So I decided to paint something completely different. In my region there is a lovely bar and they have these wonderful looking drinks and cocktails. I took my camera, made some shots and painted them in my tiny studio. Furthermore, I pushed me by giving a time limit of 1 hour per drink. It was so fascinating to focus on the primary forms, tones and values. Additionally, I love the new paintings really much, because they are so different than my paintings before. To be true, I needed 2 hours per painting because I loved to dip in the details of lighting and reflection. As I viewed your video I thought "what a coincidence and I totally agree"! Nevertheless I have to learn so much more to archieve paintings with such impressive look and richness, like yours. Thanks Andrew Tischler for your guidance and inspiration. Regards, Marc

Toys are amazing subjects

I can't begin to tell you how much I loved this video. It appealed to the grandma in me. You have captured a time in your childs life that is so quickly fleeting. You will be able to look on it fondly when he is no longer toddling around. I started a portrait of my son when he was little with his beloved teddy bear, but I didn't finish it and so wish I would have. You have painted such beautiful work and are such a skilled artist.

I like this because its basically a portrait of your kid. Everytime you look at it it will act as a memory prompt to all the moments your kid played with these.

Andrew, your videos are like a cabin with a warm fire inside, amongst the blistering landscape that is the internet.

I know it's cliche to say a painting "moved you to tears," but I did get a little emotional looking at the finished product. It got me thinking about my childhood and remembering toys that I cherished. Some I still have to this day. You're a true master of light and shadow, Andrew. Thank you for pouring yourself into the great resource that is your channel. I cant wait to see what Tisch Academy has to offer!!

Hello Andrew! I watched your video super very interesting pictures excellent thank you very much 🙂👍🏻🖌️🎨🖼️🇳🇿

Did NOT see this coming...it's amazing how this painting commands interest even though it has no mountains, no ocean waves, no waterfalls. Well done sir!

Funny seeing this vid just now as for the past few days Ive been doing exactly this. I usually paint figurative but when in between paintings which take more planning ill usually paint a simply one piece still life of something such as a figure or toy I have for decoration. just lately ive been getting the urge to compose larger still lifes with toys and commercial such objects of our times. Ive even been going around thrift shops with fresh eyes looking for random toys or odd things as opposed to the usual 'glass, vases, etc etc

Thanks Andrew! Your painting made me smile!

It's just wonderful seeing you paint. ❤

Cold color above the Warm , that's smart

First, I love that someone of your caliber took the time to demonstrate that anything can be a beautiful stiil life. Second, this will be adorable in your son's room and nostalgic as he grows. And third, who does not love that pull-along-chicken-dragon?! That thing's the best! 😂

An artist is also a magician who put ordinary things together and turns them into a breathtaking scene🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Now I have to go dig through my kid's old toys.

Your son will cherish this painting someday

Wow! Whatever you paint is EPIC!❤

Hey Uncle Andrew I just came back from Marlborough Sounds from a school trip it was absolutely beautiful and the beach rocks are amazing can’t wait to see you in the future again Love Maia❤

I think because this is your sons toy it is also a treasure to you. I think that is a great inspiration. The painting is like an old master with a new bent. That’s a great idea, loved watching you bring the toys to life!

Hope this is going in your child’s bedroom! This is a great painting!

JUst wanted to say two things; first, thank you for introducing me to the dagger brush, it is so incredibly versatile, I don't know how I painted without it before and secondly, what an awesome little still life. Must have been quite the joy to paint.

You are my mentor, thank you for all these beautiful videos ! 👍👍👌

This painting is goosebump beautiful!!!!

very generous amount of info here… love these kind of subjects for oils- as a sahm its close to home

an artist like you... you must start your great works! sure these are fine and a good adventure, as you call it. and anything can shine through a good artists lens. you need an idea! a main quest!

What a beautiful and sentimental work of art!!!.❤

That’s just brilliant thank you for your time Sandy UK

What a lovely video featuring your process and thinking! 🥰

Reminds of a Caravaggio Still life! Great job Brother!

just awesome,seriosly you can paint anything and it will look amazing......

Thank you Andrew for the free guide, thank you very much, i really appreciate it 😎👍👍

The ad transition countdown for your TISH academy was very cute

I really love that one ❤ I wish I had more time or rather energy to practise and my hands were that steady 😊

This is brilliant, and thank you so much for the E-book also, your services to artists is just truly appreciated! :-)

Loved this video, answered so many questions for me in demonstration.

That's funny...I see vignettes in everything, everywhere. Your painting is brilliant. I just love the depth you achieve in your work. I haven't been able to paint for a few years due to back issues and I am just itching to pick up a brush. Love from Oregon, USA.

Thank you for my free ebook. I know nothing about oils, I will try a little testing of this medium.

My first thought seeing the toy was, "Nooo, but you go for it Andrew." And now after having watched you painting it and seeing the end result, well has me digging through the old toy box in search of toys to paint ;-) Brilliant once again. Thanks Andrew!

They look like well-loved toys. You give that immediate reaction to them too. Nice painting, Andrew!

Fascinating approach to using found objects as subject matter. It could make for an interesting and instructive exercise for a painter to have a child/grandchild, SO or friend scavenge several random objects from around the home, garden, garage, etc, then create a painting using some or all of those objects. 🤔😀

Ya done good. You turned an almost totally boring bunch of toys...into a really artistic still-life that I usually don't like. Outstanding for sure. I enjoyed what I thought I'd never enjoy. Ya added a plus to this day. Thank you.

I agree Andrew, one of your best! Makes you realize there is a painting in almost anything. That said the setup you laid out was excellent. A very well planned composition. Thanks!

Its definitely a self attitude. I'm very firmly in the landscape corner but still life, any form of still life from flowers to just a group of sauce bottles, is where I do the most of my learning & discovery. If your like me & you show up every single day for yourself those "boring" still life's are the techniques you carry with you outside into plein air sketching and painting. If you see it as boring then give yourself a pep talk and change your mindset to seeing it as opportunity.

LOL absolutely loved this!!!

This is an amazing experience. Thank you Andrew Tischler.

Your knowledge and inspiration combined with amazing talent makes you a master artist and mentor. Thank you.

Love this... so inspirational. Thank you Andrew!

Concerning lack of material? The painter Richard Estes popped into mind immediately. He took a camera around NYC and took everyday shots. Then took them back to his studio for oil study. Innovative approach Andrew, it could easily be adapted to the old master's shadow box studies.

My favorite one now bro 😎 you so need to do this more often thanks for sharing

Andrew, I have been watching your videos on and off. I find it so educational and inspiring. Thanks so much for your time, knowledge and experience in each tutorial. This video gives me so many more ideas to paint. At 58, still thinking of what to paint for the grandchildren. This is amazing! Thanks so much for the ebook. I will definitely work using it. This is an amazing piece of art, a treasure to keep forever. Congratulations! I wish you the best and more for 2023, filled with blessings and much success. ❤❤❤

Fabulous to see you paint this incredible still life. Thank you!

Andrew, i think I love this video , and all that you've said, more than almost any other !! i live in new york, about half hour outside of the city.. epic natural beauty isn't in my immediate area.. i take drives to find a lovely scene , often.. But , I find that even the most " mundane" things of life each have beauty and have lessons to teach us, as artists.. I've painted and sketched my coffee cup pour over filter at least 100 times , in different mediums, with different approaches, and I learn each time .. Onions , beets, garlic , the outside of my building where I live .. endless ... I think many people keep thinking they need to wait for some exquisite scenery , before painting , and it's just not realistic goal, to me.. I also tend to think that they're setting themselves up to fail, or not progress, if they keep waiting for some perfect scene( whatever that even means truly eludes me) .. those scenes are all around us, on a daily basis .. I feel very lucky to be able to notice it and to be inspired by the simplest things of life.. This painting of yours is so touching and beautifully painted.. well done!!! Thank you for your thoughts and advice, tips , with this video.. I am Norakag 👍👍👍

Thank you so much, amazing work as always and thanks for the downloads, I'm sure that I'll get a lot out of them.

Hey Andrew, I don't paint at all but I love your channel. Wonderful watching you paint

Go visit a fine arts museum in a large city and see the subjects used by the old masters, especially the impressionists. Women washing. Children playing. A cafe scene. A haystack. They took plain ordinary scenes and made masterpieces of them. There is no shortage of subject matter!

love this technique- i don't always remember it Thanks!

Stunning!

incredible, pure magic ❤😮😊

I need that, on my wall ! 😁

Terrific piece and close up camera work! Great stuff the Oleogel been using it for many years, no more smelly alkyd based medium like Liquin. Oleogel is useful too for providing more open time for some of the faster drying pigments especially earth colors. Check out the fantastic vintage tin toy still life paintings by one of the original Photorealist painters, Charles Bell.

what seems interesting to me in these paintings on the unpretentious subject, just for a little fun, is that in these cases we feel less the pressure of "I must succeed", so the painting is only more successful.

What a challenge! Great as usual

Absolutely wonderful!

Excellent as always!

Love these funny little subjects! Great sense of depth. 👍

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Great job!

This is really lovely thank you for showing us this xxx reigniting my oil painting xxxx thank you xxx

Thanks Andrew, this was just the inspiration I needed. I've been stuck for a while trying to find the right subjects to paint and after watching this I did a small study of one of my wife's teddy bears. Not the sort of thing I would normally consider, but it turned out great and now I'm back in the groove!

thank you for the free pdf, always great learning experience from you. Your two videos' tutorials i purchased online, were also loaded with information!

This is absolutely beautiful, and so inspiring. Thank you!
