THANKS FOR WATCHING! - บันเทิง
Michael, very informative, as usual. Watching you go thru your steps of a painting helps me in my art work. I can't tell you how many techniques I have learned from your videos. I look forward to many many more.
I am very new to painting, and your detailed videos gives me the confidence to not give up.
I have tried wet-on-wet painting, and that gave me confidence, now i want to try the style you show in these vids. I may not be any good, but i bloody enjoy it :-)
Thank you for helping us all :-)
Ok I have found your Acrylic lesson after all.
This was awesome. Perfect timing. 20 minutes. This helped with my past questions. Love your work.
Awesome tutorial and great techniques. Thanks again Michael James Smith 🎨
Thanks for your help. ....very inspiring, and i LOVE your taste of music 👍
Michael, thanks for this demo. You make everything seem so easy. Maybe in time...
Brent
huge fan of your work ,and learning so much from your videos , totally transformed my approach to painting , i work normally with spraypaint in the speedpainting street style but im taking principals that you use and converting them to spray as well as braving into the use of oils too ..thank you for the inspiration
Наблюдать за Вашей работой всегда увлекательно.

Really great moments .. Thank you
Thank you so much, that was a great help :)
very wonderful talent.
0:54 I lost it right here. Had a nice laugh.
muy buena teacher !!!
I tend to just draw in the basic outlines of a landscape with a flat brush and some acrylic paint, mostly because pencil tends to smudge and look dirty on the canvas but that is just my personal preference.
VERY GOOD
cool
So, the underpainting is the mid tone values, and then the oil painting part itself is the dark/shadows layer followed by the highlights?
Oh my favourite artist/teacher is back!! I've been watching for you. I have a question... When you do your trees, after you have blocked in and then done your dark areas with the transparent blackish colour mixed with the liquin, I noticed that close up when you start the green in the trees it sometimes looks a bit textured. Do you use something for stippling or texture medium of any sort?
fran hanson it’s a bit late and you probably already found the answer out but it is an old filbert brush that has been worn down that gives it that look. You just lightly touch the area with a little paint and the effect follows
As an artist looking to start incorporating more landscape into my work I really love your channel. I think in your videos though I would prefer continuos commentary because it's always nice to hear train of thought throughout a piece, but if you were going to include the sped up bits I think your videos would be more digestible If you had the montages sped up more.
Trilha musical linda. I am brasileira.
Have you already explained somewhere the electronic setup in your studio?
What are the best brushes I could buy to make leaves and coconut trees?
Hi Michael, can you tell us where did you get those brushes? and why are all the same ? are the brushes only used with acrylics? or can you use them with oil too.? Thank you for taking the time lessons and tutorials AND VIDEO.
Does the quality of acrylic paint matter since it's going to be covered? I couldn't tell the brand you used.
hi do you use acrylic paint before use oil paint? I mean the first coat of your painting, is it acrylic?
answers in the title :)
hi, your first coat is acrylic but then do you use oil or acrylic for other coats
ha ha..funny explanation of that noise
So im assuming the acrylic goes straight onto a dry canvass ? I've only ever done wet on wet
Hi, do you begin with acrylic all the background and finish with oïl?
Since "the oil will cover the whole thing" wouldn't it make it easier to use acrylic colors unlike the colors of the oils which will follow? For example, wouldn't using red for grass make it easier to see that the acrylic has been completely covered by the green oil paint which follows?
Would this technique work with under water soluble oil paint?
Please tell me I can buy some DVDs or books and where. You are wonderful.
QUESTION:
So, if the art world claims acrylics are historically UNPROVEN, is it a good practice to use acrylics as an undercoat?
THANK YOU
I would like to ask that also.
*****
Yeah, that's a really good point actually. If the canvas and boards have acrylic gesso on them, how bad could a thin layer of acrylic paint be for oil paint adhesion. I've wondered about this before but it seems a lot clearer now, thanks.
What is the red he's using ?
Acrylic dry darken... Right?
,in witch colour
Dear sir your videos are excellent work ,Can i ask you some thing for beginners? Your work level is very high as you do first drawing of some scene first then block in the drawing then you go for details.As beginners the details part of your work to follow is almost impossible , can you give few videos just for low learning beginners like me to follow i mean as paint one mountain with some basic instruction, then some sky paint, as some single try as fin tree or palm tree , I think you get my point please help beginners who can not attend some academy and only hope is here from teachers like you.Thank you very much.
Can you do a video of blocking in a waterfall?
Acrylic dry darker... gouache dry lighter ...
Is there any way to show the photo you are blocking in while you're blocking it. I've caught a glimpse of the photo a few times and noticed your painting is much nicer.
Why do you use oils on top of the acrylic painting
i thought acrylics dried 'darker' not lighter
Yes, acrylics dry always a little lighter and slightly more transparent. It's because the acrylic binder which is the base of every acrylic color is very "milky" as long it is wet, and it gets transparent like glass when it is dry... So the "white tint" gets lost once the acrylic color is dry. This lightening effect depends on the binder the manufacturer uses (but ALL acrylic binders I know are more or less white when wet and clear when dry). The effect depends also on the tinting power of the pigments they use. When using high pigmented acrylics the difference between wet and dry lightness is usually not as big as it is when you use low pigmented paints with less "pigment power" and more fillers...
@@BDMG My experience is that they dry darker. And, I'm heard many other artist say the same.
@@chriswhitehouse8982 oh, my fault. Of course they dry darker, usually not lighter. Sorry
What was the song
The block in with acrylics is just confusing I dont get it. I am using fluid acrylics that could be the problem.
which brush?
Marcello Agostinelli a paintbrush
Please can you show the photo you work with it will give an idea about your decision how you see it and how you draw it
so many stupid questions, can ya show a photo, are you blocking in with acrylic, do you paint in oil after blocking in???? does anyone listen or actually watch these videos?
Mark Hawes haha is this acrylic paint ..😁
Karen Spooner hahaha i think so! im not too sure though
Why even block in when you cover it all anyway? What is the benefit of all the process?
I found the answer. drawpaintacademy.com/blocking-in/
Thanks Mark Hawes for your politeness. My question was for Michael. He answers and I don't need your speach!👎
Does the comment that your paintings look just like a photograph give you satisfaction?
Interesting question. I guess if someone is trying to paint in a "photorealistic" style, then it would. I suspect it is all about the technical challenge of trying to paint the detail so it looks like a photograph. However, I would suspect others would say that if your painting looks just like a photograph, then what's the point? I think there are people who like to paint all along the spectrum of realism.
@@chriswhitehouse8982 hyperrealism sometimes isnt viewed as exciting art but its impressive.
