- You can see Len now in 2014 at www.paintwithle... Learn to paint wet-on-wet techniques in oil or acrylic. This is from a 1985 VHS videos. This exercise is one of 6 lessons that were distributed on VHS video during the early 1980s.The lesson was re-filmed many times.
Thousands of people learned to paint from these 6 magic lessons.
The latest edition of this 'SpeedPainting' series of lessons is now available on DVD.
A free lessons site for beginners, artists and teachers of painting is paintwithlen.com . The free online painting tuition is suitable for children also.
This is remarkable, the use of your fingers to do the sky is simply mind blowin. Thanks Len very much for this help.
I sincerely do hope that you are still with us and producing beautiful paintings Len. At 77 I am trying to resurrect my oil painting as a pass time and it is not easy. However the way you teach is truly inspiring and I hope that you are still teaching guys like me. I did read that these lessons are now about 30 years old.
I seem to have gone back in time! Spending an evening with an earlier version of Len :) What I enjoy is the fearless approach. Painting should not be scary, it should be a pleasure to spend time doing it. Wow, these were put up long ago, thanks!
Thank you Len for flying the flag on youtube for us aussie artist's,I have just started
out on youtube with my first video last week. Thank's Len.
This man is flat out amazing and a pioneer. Looks like Len was doing these techniques before the others. Thx Len!
Love the use of your hands making the sky, clouds and mountains. Very helpful. Thank you. I'm on to the next video.
Well, I've watched it again and it's amazing what new things I learned. You're a great inspiration. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. I'm gonna make watching this lesson a weekly event. I'm sure I'll learn more next time I view it!
Superb! I like how the picture starts to take shape at 5.00. Great technique!
I have two of Len,s c.d,s.hes a very good teacher!
I enjoy more watching you paint with oils, rather than acrylics.
This painting is so lovely. I have learned a lot from you. My trees will improve greatly from now on. I find I have a lot of trouble with bristle brushes. Always digging hairs out of the work.
I too have brushes that molt - guess it is a small handicap.
MIS FELICITACIONES Y MUCHOS EXITOS. Tienes un aforma de expresar tu arte, con la sencilles, rapidéz y excelente presentación. ABRAZOS DESDE PERU
Thank you Len Hend!
Very talented work. Thank you so much for tuition.
great teacher Len - thank you
Thanks Len
Even the simplest paintings are a problems at times aswell,clouds are a complete nightmare & fir trees,so going to give the new no:8 fan brush a go tonight and see it makes any different in doing them.Have you ever painted any landscapes of northern ireland/ireland
That is a size 12 round hog bristle brush - about 16mm round.- a 3/4 inch house painting brush will do the job.
Sheer genius!
gracias para mi sera muy util me ha dado mucho animo para seguir pintando ,muchas ,muchas gracias
...grandissimo..........
very nice
When Painting leaves, I use A large round hog bristle brush. A 1inch house painting brush is just as good.
You can learn to paint for free by going to me website - try putting paint with len into your browser.
great lesson--like your method--thanks for sharing
Amazing talent!!!!
Muito bom. Parabéns!
Amazing! so beautifully done. :)
Yes you can do exactly the same in acrylics - please try not to use your hands - wear a soft glove or use a brush.
your brush is nice/
è fantastico! grazie
The trees don't look random enough to look like Australian gums!
thanks mate :)
Dab, dab, dab, sounds famililar as well.................another English artist called Keith Fenwick 'The art doctor' uses this terminology in his DVD's. It look's like Len's the man again!
i don't have oils can i make it with watercolours ??????
I doubt it. Acrylics are good .

I admire this man. It is simply a big(great) joy to look at this and to work after.
Thanks for this romp to well explained(declared) videos. Furthermore a lot of success on theirs away.
Hi Graham
This painting style is a skill which takes a little time to master. That is why my paintwithlen website had the 28 lessons arranged with the very simple paintings first. You might be rushing a bit but if you keep painting your hand will learn to control the brush.
Making a mess can be good - you learn from your mistakes. I will put the Snow Capped Peaks video up soon on my website then I'll take a break.
Cheers
Len
I love your techniques and your down to earth teaching. I don't have any of your videos yet but will get them.
Hi Len , thanks a lot for all videos .all ur painting videos makes me so happy.
It's wonderful. I like your way of painting.
Wow, that's so cool. Thanks for revisting the brush techniques at the end.
Very good lesson!
I love your talent, always love to watch your style and believe you cove the lessons very well.
Thanks for your explanation on how to paint your paintings.
Great to see you’re keeping up with your free lessons.
You’re the best!

Wow, a young Len Hend! That was before you realized paint is toxic 😊
So true but I was lucky.
Beautiful composition ,
I really enjoy these and would love to have these series since sometimes where I am no internet but very interested in your techniques be well !
All my videos are available on dvd from my PaintWithLen website.

hi there well after 3 weeks of playing and seing if really am into this YES ahahah I am now is there a way to transfer the funds to you I do not have a pay pal and not very familliar with pay pal etc and I would be into the full package and also am wanting to get into oils as well so these work great for me now I have gum tree s in the rockies be well and thank you for sharing your knowledge
Stephane - paypal is the only way I can safely carry out money transfer - you can use paypal with your bank card or pay a friend to use their paypal
Thank you for your quick response I will look into it and carry on with pay pal I can learn how lol attemptin the waterfall scene right now
Thank You Len for your quick response to my question :)
Watching that grass effect is so cool, but I can't replicate it on my own canvas. I wish I could see it from a different angle because I must be doing it wrong somehow.
Hi - if yo go to my 'paint with len' website, free lesson No.8 is a good short lesson with grass
Thanks for getting back to me, As I understand the fat over lean technique, basically means adding more oil(fat) on each subsequent layer to prevent the top layer from drying before the previous layer, resulting in cracking etc. With the technique that you use, which is wet on wet, I'm guessing that is not a problem, I am going to give the kerosine a go, just ordinary kero? Once again thanks for your time and all of your wonderful work
Yes ordinary kero.
I might add - trying to dab thick paint over thinner (runnier) wet paint can result in the brush picking up paint rather than putting it down - often seen when linseed oil is used.
wonderful, I learned so much. thank you
Nice
Excellent!
Hi Len, you make this style of painting you do look very easy but ive tried some of your free lessons and just cant get it right, it can turn in to a nightmare with me.all your work is excellent, was wondering if you will be adding more free lessons to your website.
Thank you fab tips so inspired :)
Great！ I like the video very much！
Len, what is the name of the brush that you use in this lesson that you use to put on the foliage of the trees ?
Thanks in advance :)
This s ......wt can I say that much I wonder..... I have strong desire to study painting can u teach me sir..
Len what type of brush are you using in the star of this video Love your work?
I first brushed over the clouds with a small cheap common house painting brush.
paintwithlen.com/about-painting/about-brushes/
You can go to my website (paintwithlen) and learn from there starting with lesson No.1 it's free.
Using oil with wet on wet, when mixing your colours, what medium or ratio, do you use with the fat over lean principle, quite confused, love your videos, and have done a number of your paintings using acrylics, would like to have a go using oil
Hi Alan
I have never heard of the 'fat over lean' expression.
When working wet on wet with oils I try to have my paint so as it is all of the same creamy consistency that will not run down when I place a big thick blob on a vertical palette. Linseed oil will make the paint slimy and cause endless problems - KEROSENE is my choice for thinning oils and cleaning up.
Can I do it with acryl?
thank you :o)
please tell....
who needs brushes when you have fingers
Hi terry - I've learnt a lot by trial and error - if you think I can help you with this internet thing, email me and I am happy to help a fellow OZ. Cheers.
i don't have knife also.....
No sorry never painted an Irish landscape.
