  • In this oil painting tutorial I'll show you how to block-in a landscape oil painting using acrylic paints. You'll see what colours you need to block-in the landscape, how to mix acrylic colours and the different brushes to use for blocking in. Plus, my lovely son makes a special appearance to help me paint.

    Michael...I discovered your website about a month ago and have been immersed your tutorials ever since. I think I have seen a few of them 5 times; maybe more. Not only is your work visually stunning...but your instructional technique is terrific. I learn something new every time I roll a lesson. I hope you intend to continue your workshops because they are truly exceptional.
    Thanks.

I was brought into the artists world at a young age by an artist by the name of George Craven in Michigan and my daughter is also into doing artwork and it makes me smile to see your son helping you paint. Please keep up the beautiful art work!

    A way of blocking in using oil without losing productive time waiting for the blocking in to dry is to work on several paintings at the same time. Begin one painting each day and there will always be a dry painting to work on.

    Hi Michael, thanks a lot from Rome for your amazing videos; I mostly like those with both views of the model photo and the palette, so I can learn how to mix colors. Hope you'll post the the end of this work asap. Congratulations for your fantastic son. Bye.

    I enjoy you paintings very much. You are really a great painter. I have learned a lot of things and techniques from your videos. It would be great if you can prepare some videos that describes from the beginning such as canvas/panels you use, your brushes, the paints and brands that you prefer, etc...Thanks...

  • @Evie2979
    @Evie2979 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    hello from North Carolina. I love your talent, your humor and your paintings... most of all I really appreciate your willingness to share how to make beautiful art. I was driving home from work today admiring the tall holly bushes with red berries on them and the Carolina Sapphire blue fir trees. I found myself thinking, "I wonder how Michael would paint these!" Have you painted non-deciduous trees? If so, which number video? I don't think I can include pictures in the comments, so if you don't know these beautiful trees/bushes, you could google them and let me know what you think. Thank you and God Bless you! Diana

  • @princerickz
    @princerickz 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Michael, thanks for the great videos, been following you for a while and I love your works! May I ask why you only paint on boards and not on canvas? I've only painted on linen canvases and I'm not really sure what the pros and cons of painting on different surfaces are. Thanks!

  • @coolinva

    What is the main difference between oil (dry slowly) and acrylic (dry quickly)? Why doesn't acrylic need to clock in while oil needs? Thanks for the tutorials and nice paintings.

  • @artsalivestudio
    @artsalivestudio 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Quite obviously you have a Artist in training. As usual Michael you provide excellent instruction. I do have a question tho. Do you need to spray water your acrylic paint while your painting or does the blocking in go fast enough that you don't have any drying out?

  • @manasanayak28
    @manasanayak28 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Michael, do you use fair amount of liquin when you block using oil paint? In fact I'm unable to judge how thick the blocking should go...Thanks

  • @anniefeng3795

    Do you wait for each layer to dry first before painting on top?

  • @Lee-vx3qi
    @Lee-vx3qi 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    thank you michael, can i block in with gouache too ? and does it matter if i use a brush with shorter bristles than yours? My brush strokes for waterplants struggle with poor consistency as the thin line it paints breaks through, and if i dip into more paint the stroke would be too thick. Should I adjust it with medium, longer bristled brush, or try a different paint?

    I see I am a bit late to the party and this comment has been reiterated several times before mine.
    Still, it bears repeating. Having raised four, I can tell you with some authority, children really do learn what they live moreso than what they’re told.
