วีดีโอ

I so enjoyed your video. I go through ALL of those questions, anxieties and pleasure when I'm trying to create. It was good for me to hear someone else be so honest and open about the process. 😊🙏🏼. Thank you so much for making this video. - Happy New Year - 2025!

I just came across your video and i love it! the whole video is artistic with the memes slotted in 🤣 especially the start, you were brawling with the skunk 🤣🤣🤣. Beautiful work!

Inspiring! But how do you get your finished paintings back to the studio? I love plein air painting, but so far only worked on smaller panels which I can transport in DIY panel carriers. But man, I really want to paint on large stretched canvases (without making a mess of the family car) :)

You're really awesome brother! God bless you 🙏🏻 greetings from Austria Vienna 🇦🇹

I needed this love this so much 😊

I chuckled at Kevin bacon 😂

Mr. Jensen, you are a great and talented artist, thanks for sharing.

I love this so much I enjoyeddd this videooo ❤

Sharing your artistic skills and life values are priceless and a true blessing. Merry Christmas Ryan & family 🎅🥰 🌟

What a beautiful painting, great video and especially your views on painting. Nothing is permenant...Painting is constantly correcting mistakes until you're equally satisfied and disatisfied at the same time. CAT IN THE BOX PARADOX...

Really great painting!

Those spectacles really transformed the portrait. Brilliant.

I like this video 💪

Great video Ryan! I only enjoy watching a few people paint and you are definitely one of them. Merry Christmas!

Glasses

What a gorgeous Santa ...Great Video and great narrating...its good to watch even the best of Artists fuss with eyes and pig noses 😂. It helps us to know where not lone fussers...pig noses are kinda cute ❤

I hope you do more impression portraits bro. This is really good stuff. I struggle greatly with painting people/figures

Fantastic work

This is right on, Ryan! You talk about so many of the issues I encounter in every painting! Fighting through it is key! Often I tiptoe through till I feel better about it. I've been enjoying your Santa series.

Damn, Ryan. I came here to watch you paint Santa, and instead, you’re over here dropping some deep life lessons. I’m going to be running your words over and over in my head. What a gift-thank you. I really appreciated seeing your process. There were so many great little moments... I love how you go back, fix, correct, and refine, yet it all still feels like every mark was made in one effortless stroke. And those massive blobs of white-love! I could honestly go on and on. Thank you for putting this together. I know these videos take time (and in this case, heart), and I just want you to know how much it’s appreciated. I do have a question for you (though I could ask 100!). Where do you find your Santa reference images and is there something specific you look for in a good Santa reference? Thank you again.

i think this video is one of the most moving ones that i've watched in a long while.. everything you said, about painting, about life... soooo beautiful and true.. thank you , and happy holidays to you and your family .. Norakag, here ( and new subscriber because of this video ❤)

You are absolutely right. Being afraid to make mistakes can be very limiting in stretching ourselves. Thanks so much for another interesting and inspiring video!

Just got off the Easel . Oil of my Father’s basement workshop.Thanks for your videos.They inspire me. Your son’s voice makes the video come alive . Just like dabbing on the paint right and watching Santa come to Life.The glasses at the end … nice touch.👏👏👏

suddenly I'm craving bacon

this is the best portrait painting process ive come across... thanku Ryan ... love ur works

"Don't just give up, it's just paint"

Ryan always just motivates me to paint its actually awesome

love these videos! when i get my money up i will definitely buy your art!

Great artists. It is challenging to paint a large format in plein air.

I make stupid faces when I paint too and I still can't figure out why

Those Nipples! Yummy.

What th…a skunk wrangling?

Fantastic. I think you should freeze frame the video and paint you and your daughter in her pink hat. Question: what medium do you use when you start off?

I understand that you are using oil paints. How do you get them drying so fast, that you can transport the picture after a few hours, given the thick layers of paint?

gorge!!!

I liked your paintings better than the other contestants' Yours are painterly and have life and feeling. 😊

Yo ryan what is the brownish color at the beginning of your paintings ? (You make 🔥 vids btw)

You’re a great artist.

🎉

DUDE!…. YOUR SICK

Really lovely work Ryan. Skunks are so sweet. So enjoyed watching you with it. Taking the photos are a good idea for sure.

i really love how impressionist brush strokes evokes feeling, its something i wish i know how to do. Nice content and you are awesome

I love your art and video. Although its not edited heavily like others it has an amazing miraculous vibe with your storytelling. Love it

I didn't realize you had started posting to youtube, but I'm glad your video was brought to me. The skunk cuddling, the salami break, my kind of sense of humor 😄 and of course it's great to hear and see your approach. Sorry you didn't win, I know that feeling, but those paintings were still beautiful (I loved the nocturne personally, you managed to make the scene pop much more than it did in reality).

You lied to us and the skunk was YOURS

Love your work!

You're sooo cool, youve seriously inspired and motivated me to get up and paint right now

Can you say……CHARLATAN?

That's Sonoma?... i only live 15 miles from there. I like your grays... you mix the sienna and blues... God is the opposite of nothingness.

Love your work! Love the colors, sensitivity and emotion that one feels and evokes when looking at it. ❤
