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!
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.
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
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!
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.
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!!
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.
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!
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!
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!
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! 😂
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
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.
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❤
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!
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.
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.
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. 🤔😀
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 👍👍👍
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.
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!
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. ❤❤❤
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.
Hey Andrew You are a very sympathetic man. Your videos are very exciting and fun to watch! I also paint and you always inspire me. Thank you for the great book! Greetings from Switzerland, Alessio
thank you for the free pdf, always great learning experience from you. Your two videos' tutorials i purchased online, were also loaded with information!
I love this! I haven't painted in a few years and Ive been thinking about getting back into it. I'm going to round up some of my 10 month olds toys and start with those!
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!
Beautiful painting, and thanks for the Studio Guide, lot's of information. Plan to look at it and consider your Academy. Subscribed to your newsletter. Great job!
I love your way to make a video, so reach of information about everything. I would like to know how many hours you pass to create this kind of videos. Very impressive art work. Cheers.
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.
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!
we are learning a lot of things . from what I see from u ,I sketch every day in my free time.i have one problem ,which is to finish very crushed parts quickly .to fix this problem, I am doing zen drawing , crossing exercises .if there is a better one , pls tell me
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.
This is really a portrait of your son. Bravo.
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.
The ad transition countdown for your TISH academy was very cute
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 ❤

Andrew, your videos are like a cabin with a warm fire inside, amongst the blistering landscape that is the internet.
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!
Wow! Whatever you paint is EPIC!❤
Toys are amazing subjects
Hello Andrew! I watched your video super very interesting pictures excellent thank you very much 🙂👍🏻🖌️🎨🖼️🇳🇿

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

The stroke of a modern Master

Cold color above the Warm , that's smart
They look like well-loved toys. You give that immediate reaction to them too. Nice painting, Andrew!
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! 🥰

Hey Andrew, I don't paint at all but I love your channel. Wonderful watching you paint
Thank you Andrew for the free guide, thank you very much, i really appreciate it 😎👍👍
Loved this video, answered so many questions for me in demonstration.

I really love that one ❤ I wish I had more time or rather energy to practise and my hands were that steady 😊
Love this... so inspirational. Thank you Andrew!
This is an amazing experience. Thank you Andrew Tischler.

Reminds of a Caravaggio Still life! Great job Brother!
love this technique- i don't always remember it Thanks!
