Amy, you are a very clever young lady and this old codger (85) will try his best to follow your very clear instructions. I have tried to follow others but I find that you are by far the better of them all. Thank you young lady for I feel that this old man can still learn from the young. Robert
Amy...."You're the Bomb"!! I'm addicted to your video's and am just starting to paint. What a wonderful teacher you are. I enjoy learning from you. A young grandma (I am) who's retired now and searching for my glitch to fill my days. I've always loved crafts, painting, writing, calligraphy, etc. and I think I've found you for a reason. Keep doing the great work you do Amy and I will continue to watch your incredible talents!
Amy, just finished watching your Birch tree video and am ready (I hope) to get started! This is my 3rd attempt at leaving a comment, not knowing I needed a you tube channel of my own! So I hope this isn't duplicated somewhere. Anyway, I am a nurse by trade but so, so want to be an artist! Formal training is not an option for me, but with videos like yours I don't think all is lost. I've spent the last 3 months buying artist supplies and 'getting ready' I hope you keep making videos!
Amy the painting is beautiful! Very nicely done by the way. I like how some of the trees are leaning and some are fat, thin, etc. You did a great job making the forest effect happen. Bravo!
I followed your instruction and painted an awesome forest! It's my first painting ever. Love your step-by-step and valuable tips. Thanks for the vid! More please? =)
amy I love your work..... you helped my techniques to improve my paintings. I paint... don't know much about the technical theories and why I do things I do..... I don't worry much and love to paint,,,, however, I think it behooves me at this point to learn correct techniques or have an understanding..... even wondering why choose colors..... besides what looks good (although that works!!!) ...... at any rate.... I enjoy your works and thank you !!!! funny, I have a background ready for birch trees... and cannot find sponge ..... I guess I will use brush or knife for leaves...... your trunks are gorgeous! thanks.
I love the colors you've created on your canvas, it sure came out beautiful with the trees and colorful leaves! Wished I could buy this! Thanks for showing us how to do this, I will be practicing and learning your technique!
Thank for your simple and pretty painting tutorial. I am going to start your painting style with my grand children, and my pre-k children. This is very beautiful. Give us more simple and easy painting, so we can paint with young children. Thank you Amy. All the best Pari.
Thank you for a lovely, simple tutorial! My eight year old son and I are starting your project for a spare room. He wants a nature theme, so we are decorating the walls with his artwork. We've seen many tutorials, but he gives yours an A+. Thanks for sharing your talent with us :)
you cant imagine how much i really appreciate you doing the close ups! thanks so much i really wish other videos were like that i cant believe how much you've taught me in one video thanks again keep them coming !!!! 5 thumbs up for you girl! :)
This is a really nice painting. You're an excellent teacher as well as painter. I learned a great deal from this tutorial and I'm subscribing for more of your great lessons. Thank you.
Oh Amy this is amazing thank you so much for sharing with us,please continue what you are doing .Because you are great.Thank you ...........................Lot
I loved this tutorial. I just finished my painting and will wait until tomorrow to see if I need to touch it up. I did it on a 11x14 so I only did half of your forest. Thanks for posting
lovely! i love painting trees, and now you gave me some new techniques, I will definitely do my version of this. Thank you for sharing your skill and artistry. It is very helpful for me a new fan of oil painting.
I wanted to get into painting my nan is REALLY good like you and now your my artist idol your tutorials help SOOOOO much!!!! Thanks Amy tell Manny he is cool!!!
Thanks for the awesome video, it looked like a lot of fun... love the large size! So use to working in smaller scales... will have to try a version of this, thanks!
I am new to painting and I found this video to be very helpful and straightforward. I do not have a sea sponge but I used a loofa instead and it did the trick! I really enjoyed the process and am pleased with the finished product..I found your voice to be soothing - Thanks :)
In the second 0:45 you can see that the green colour is acrylic! Thankyou for the wonderful turtorial i'm gonna to try this. Kev from germany and sorry for my bad english :)
Love watching your videos. Have you ever tried the stay wet palette box with large white sponge and wet paper in it . Keeps paints wet for weeks. Uses way less paint.
Just finished doing the Birch tree forrest and it came out better than I expected. I have no formal painting training and have been painting (as a hobby) for 4 years and am 75 years old. Love your work and efforts. PS... you did not show RED in your list of paints. I did this in acrylics and it worked fine. Thank you.
Absolutely beautiful... Thank you for your tutorials....I am going to do this. I am trying my best!!!! your expailning is much appreciated!!!! excellent!!!!❤
Hi Amy, out of all the tutorials out there I chose yours and am happy to say I painted my very first birch tree forest. Thanks for the excellent video. Very clear and easy to follow.
The sponge there is kinda expensive, but worth it. I use it as a proffesional painter too. But you can try with some different brushes. And use it to try stopple the similar effect. I think if you try something a non-syntethic brush, and something that has a bit "volume" between the hairs.
ivory black and zinc white, cadmium yellow, then... it's a bit a matter of choice, but there are some colours you can't mix by adding others, a pale lemony yellow is one, and others you can, like yellow ochre. For me, madder, indian red, scarlet, alizarin crimson, prussian blue, cobalt or azure like cerulean blue, ultramarine - that's what i used to buy decades ago. But you wouldn't need all that. Madder's rare, if unmixable. Scarlet, lemon, ultramarine, azure, maybe crimson, is surely enough.
I keep watching as it is very beautiful and graceful. I am trying to reproduce yours, sure it will not be the same, but thank you for your time sharing this with us.
ya love the painting and the technique, wonderful lesson, but again the same question arises is this Acrylic paints as oil doesn't dry up so quickly, so must b acrylic.. thx for the video

Awesome painting, birch trees are my favorite. Thanks for showing how to use the sea sponge, that is a great idea.
Loved watching this video. You are an excellent demonstrator. Thank you.
I sooooooooo LOVE your pace in teaching...so...relaxed.....going to do this for my Livingroom...replacing my old paintings ! THANK YOU for sharing!
I like your painting, I found a sponge the other day along the beach will keep it next time. Thanks for showing it being created.

I found it very interesting use of the sponge from the sea. The effect it produces is amazing!
Very good lesson!.

So cool to see actual how things are done :) And not just to see the finished look. I really appreciate that you film this, and explain to us :)
