Thank you Andrew, it was a lightbulb moment for me, to understand that the image is what I want to make it, not to slavishly reproduce what is in my reference picture. I too have many, many mediocre photos taken around the world. Now I understand that they are only mediocre until I make into something special.
This painting is STUNNING! I use acrylics, but I feel I can use these principles. I for some reason am "afraid" of bright colors. But then I wonder why it always looks so dull! I also for some reason think I must find the perfect photograph and look around endlessly for it. This video really changes things for me. Thank you so much!
I can't even imagine how you can paint something that's not fair I can't seem to paint it if it is there much less if I have got to put trees that aren't there in green grass instead of brown you know that kind of stuff❤ just love your work love you videos love you personality love your teaching love everything about the way you do things the way you share. So on selfishly❤ love the painting , your colors are brilliant so is your creativity and talent❤ you produce some beautiful work!!!❤ God bless you, yours and your career❤❤❤
Thank you as always for sharing what you do... and how you do it. I personally more enjoy your detail work versus the "painterly" idea. One of the things I learned early on from you as well as in my own work is, there's no substitute for patience with the details, especially in the foreground to help communicate depth. I don't think we should fear those double and quadruple zero liners. Committing to those details keeps me from getting ahead of myself and keeps me patient. And I think this mindset ends up Communicating even more realism. You're so good with all the other pillars of quality painting: drawing, perspective, composition, color selection/ identification, mixing, all of it. So I love it when you go super detailed. It all comes together. ❤
What a love the most in your art is how it looks realistic and painterly at the same time, never understood the reason behind hyper realistic art in the era of digital photography, in your casa, I almost can feel the paint smell and texture, never felt that in a picture. Keep it up!!!
An another inspirational video Andrew. This is a rerun for me. But that’s okay. Even with reruns we all still walk away with learning something new. Thank you for sharing your talents that inspire us to go and do the same. ❤
A delighful video as always Andrew. Its interesting how as an artist we have the power to change the scene from ordinary to extraordinary. Thank you for the continued inspiration - Paul 😃😃😍😍😎😎
Wonderful work as usual; you are always an inspiration. Also, vouching for Blue Ridge Oil Paints, not only are they world-class paints, but Eric goes above and beyond to ensure them.
I love taking multiple references and pooling them together for one magnificent painting. It allows you the freedom to express something unique and not just an exact copy of the reference image. I was worried for a sec, that the sheep would get lost in such a small paining, but as per your talent, you pulled it off! ❤
Great tutorial Andrew, thanks so much for sharing this!! Your painting is eye catching and very admirable! love it! hope you and the family are doing well! ' Love from The Netherlands .
Another masterful tutorial. Must have been on the same wavelength this week. Just painted a nice scene from Snowdonia national park with a few sheep, and my young Welsh apprentice loves it.
I think it's quite lovely! It gave me some ideas about what to do with one of my paintings. It is a late fall, early winter river scene that is nice but just hasn't quite got there because it too is dull when it comes to the trees and foliage. So, thanks for this. I love it!
I like this. So instead of simply following the reference photo utilise different angles and elements. Even change a few things to paint a unique landscape. 😊
Hi! Thank you! I always learn a lot from you. I find a bit of Naples yellow indispensible for painting sheep. Maybe they are just dustier in my part of the world, but it's a magic color to break stark white highlights and soften greens that might appear a bit plasticky in intense sunlight.
Awesome! Reminds me of my trip to Wanaka & Queenstown a while back. Andrew, do you let your sketch dry at all before starting the block-in? just wondering how you avoid creating a muddy mess like I seem to create.....
Gorgeous fall tones in those trees- I think you really nailed the right degree of render while maintaining the softness of the original blocking strokes as the image recedes into the background. Occasionally I wish you'd actually left some of your small paintings with a bit less sharp, fine detail- this is not one of them. Perfect.
Hello Andrew, I watched your video on how you prepare your canvas boards. Do you have a video for the linen boards as well? what kind of linen are you using? What are you covering it with before you start painting? I know , these are a lot of questions but I would love to see how you build these panels. Great painting, and you inspire my like always to get out of the box and use my artistic mind to create. Thank you!
Hello Andre, your work is truly extraordinary. Can I ask what kind of shiny paint you use? For sketch brushes and for blocks, what penesing is different for. I have always been very happy d.
Hi Andrew. I think you are the best painter. I would like to know is artificial intelligence has a big impact on your career. I love painting. I paint a lot. I am also realistic painter. My paintings are not so good for selling and I also don't know how to sell. But it's doesn't matter. Big Hi 👋
Hey Andrew 😊 much like me i love your adventurous spirit in your paintings.. being a year and a half in.. My channel is growing but I'm looking for colaberations to help me out. If your willing ?

In my mind you are the best artist ever
Thank you so much for all the tips Andrew, sometimes I focus so much in the reference photo that I forget even about enjoying the process

WoW that’s a beautiful work and your step by step guide is very helpful and generous ❤
You are such an inspiration, Andrew! A consummate professional. And I love your little painting. Great result.

Such a high quality production as always - Absolutely fantastic! Always get a surge of 'man I wanna paint!' after seeing your videos!
A delighful video as always Andrew. Its interesting how as an artist we have the power to change the scene from ordinary to extraordinary. Thank you for the continued inspiration - Paul 😃😃😍😍😎😎
Beautiful. As always Andrew. And yeah. This painting would look fantastic in a larger format! ❤
Wonderful work as usual; you are always an inspiration. Also, vouching for Blue Ridge Oil Paints, not only are they world-class paints, but Eric goes above and beyond to ensure them.
Love the season change you did. I have had problems painting from my photos but I’m getting better at seeing the end result, and taking better photos.
I love taking multiple references and pooling them together for one magnificent painting. It allows you the freedom to express something unique and not just an exact copy of the reference image.
I was worried for a sec, that the sheep would get lost in such a small paining, but as per your talent, you pulled it off!

Thanks Andrew ....A very nice painting of Gorge Creek.. Welcome back :-) . It is very nice to have you living back in the area again.
I love this. So very inspiring. Makes me try harder to be more conscious of the balance between painterly and realism. Thank you Andrew.
Great lesson. Thank you. I also appreciate the smaller-scale work.
Amazingly helpful - a bevy of thanks!💐
Congrats on your skill in brush strokes. I'd like to see you paint a crowded forest.Thanks in advance.
Masterful. Thank you for sharing these videos.

Hi Andrew! Could you give some guide on how to take a good reference photo? I have trouble framing lanscape photos
Stunning!
Thank you Andrew 👍🏻
Always inspiring. Thank you.

Wow you have a new follower.
Thank you, a lesson I can use/needed. As I'm a slave to the reference pic
very good painting,
lovely painting.
Sir ! I want to know from you how much time it took you to do this work.
Amazing work. The only thing I would do differently is the blue sky. It Should be nice and smooth. Get rid of the texture. ❤
Andrew conoces al pintor Tomás somercales inglés pero vivió en chile mucho tiempo? me recuerdas tu pinturas a este pintor

Shocked work
E bello veder i tuoi capolavori e mentre dipingi
