The "But trust me on the sunscreen." energy going on here reminds me that you are definitine of the cheif custodians of this wonderful little nook we've all carved out for ourselves.
Hell yeah number 400!!!! 400 episodes of pure greatness. 400 episodes of dedication. 400 episodes of helping so many. Thank you so much Vince. You are an absolute treasure to this community, thank you so much for all you do for all of us. Cant wait to watch the next 400.
Caught the first sunscreen reference…. Thought to myself “huh, was that just a fluke”…… caught the second one, “heeey, hang on a second…is he doing”…. Immediately catches the third “oh wow ok, he is. let’s strap in and enjoy this!”
I haven't even watched 50% of the HC videos yet and you've taught me more about this hobby than anyone else in the couple years I've been doing this. Thank you for everything you do Vince! Here's to 400 more.
This series is like the grand library of painting tutorials and guides. People will be referring to this series for years to come. Absolutely phenomenal work! Congratulations on the big 400!
Thank you very much Vince! I've started mini painting August 2022 after almost 20 years "break" (I painted a few LotR minis in early 00's), and Irealise now that i've been missing out. I can compare my older minis and my newer ones and see the improvement; only compare with yourself of yesterday. Your videos have helped me so much to tackle this journey, the stellar advice you've provided have been immensely helpful. Truly, thank you very much! Here's to another 400 videos!
What a wonderful homage, full of great advice. In my early 40s now and I often think back to the lyrics of 'Everybody's Free To Wear Sunscreen'. Thanks so much for all the videos Vince. Your content is a real pleasure to watch. All the best.
"You'll paint all sorts of minis. Beautiful minis. Ugly minis." Well, I'm halfway there. I haven't been in the hobby for long, about two years, and never consistent, but truly, Vince, you have made some of the best painting videos, full stop. This series has so much, and any episode, all the way back to the first one, is full of advice that still encourages and inspires. Thank you for all of this, and I will always look forward to what you do next. And yes, I'll try and paint more. No promises, but I'll try. ^_^
Congratulations on yet another amazing milestone Vince! The hobby community is incredibly lucky to have someone as passionate as you in our ranks, your videos inspire not only inside the hobby but with so many aspects of life.
You are an absolute hero and pillar in this journey and community we all have started at one point in life. Thank you for everything you are and everything you have done. You have been the start of my journey and whenever I am painting, I have you streaming on my screen, or an older video, or a video about something I'm having issues with, even when I'm not painting and I have free time, I attempt to snag a chance to watch more. Thank you for being with us all and being the teacher, friend, and a pillar of this hobby. Thank you.
I feel like I’ve watched at least 100 of your videos (could be more, probably not fewer), and I think you’ve amassed in one video a philosophy that you threaded throughout those 100+ videos. I’m amazed you found a way to distill it in this one video. Congratulations on 400. Here’s to 400 more.
Thanks so much for 400 episodes, Vince, and congratulations on the milestone, and on the M13 launch! Great meeting you yesterday at TMX, thanks so much for being there and teaching, and for all of your patience and kindness and lessons. The gratitude felt is inexpressible.
Vince needed a powdered wig to match this soundtrack! Congrats on 400 Vince! You have the most comprehensive channel on TH-cam and are an inspirational painter! Thank you for being a pillar of the community
Mr Venturella… thank you so much for everything you do. I got back in the hobby in 2017 after a 20 year gap. Your hobby cheating videos have been a massive source of knowledge. More than the actual instruction, your constant refrain of don’t chase perfection has been so uplifting that it really made my progress rocket. Between you and uncle Adam, any person taking their first steps into painting are very safe and very supported. Thank you again
Let’s get into it- I don’t even paint (my boyfriend does and I watch your videos with him). Your videos are awesome. Besides the wealth of knowledge you have on painting techniques, your advice can be applied to basically ANY hobby and even to life in general- it’s so uplifting, inspiring and wholesome. Keep it up and congratulations on 400 episodes! 😀
Dang Vince, you made me all emotional with this one. It reminded me a lot of Mary's Schmich Chicago Tribute column "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" popularized by Baz Luhrman in his "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" song. Thank you so much for everything you're bringing to thousands with these videos, helping and guiding us in our hobby. I hope it brings you as much joy as it's driving us to enjoy painting!
Vince, you're the best, man. Thank you for all of the amazing content and congrats on 400! Also thank you for the great weekend at TMX. Your classes were awesome and I learned a ton. I'll work on those metallic swirly stab's, I promise!!
Vinny V for sainthood! That was poignant and beautiful brother. Thank you for being a constant force of guidance both in video, and in person. We are better people for it.
Congrats on the 400th Vince, you and others have been a strong reason I decided to give painting minis a try, and grinding my brush skills. Although I'm a miniature painting baby, I've got a good 20 years of experience in digital art and you're advices pretty much apply to any artistic discipline. Surround yourself with like minded and honest people, that will stay positive but will never hesitate to point out your flows. Embrace the grind, trust the process, don't hesitate to restart a paint job from scratch, put your ego on the side. Be respectful and ask advice from people you look up to, and help out the one looking up to you. Learn to color mix.
I just started painting and got a little demotivated seeing how much I have to learn about colors, light, shadows, shapes and all this artsy stuff. Then I stumbled upon this video and actually shed a tear. Thank you Vince for your kind words and all your videos, you really helped me to keep my head up and keep on painting.
Cannot thank you enough for all of these videos. You have created a library that when I’m stuck offer ideas and inspiration to give me the kick to put the brush back onto the model. Here’s to the next 400
Congrats on 400, Vince. Your teaching has been monumental in both the actual skills you impart and the positive relationships you encourage to the artform/hobby. Im probably twice the painter I could have been thanks to you. Cheers!
When I got back in the hobby a couple years ago after a break of a couple decades, I'm so glad to have found Vince, Tabletop Minions and Midwinter Minis as they've been a great source to enjoy painting minis. Thanks!!
Wow, what a massive contribution to the hobby space. In addition to sharing a library's worth of information freely, you are just a joy to listen to. You make our Wednesdays and Saturdays better, thanks Vince. Edit: 2:15 "you are not as bad at this as you imagine, you might not be as good either" You didn't mean it in a nasty way, but damn that was funny. You see, joy to listen to :)
Had a blast hanging out with you Vince and other classmates at his painting workshop on battle damage at the Tabletop Minions Expo in Oshkosh, WI today!
I plan to be there, after my divorce and mother passing, I haven’t been competitive painting. I miss hanging with you brother, I’m looking forward to it!
This is a good refresher. Beyond all the techniques and products, painting is a medium of artistic expression. It's about communicating things that matter to you. So it's exciting to see so many different styles in mini painting and know that there's no wrong one because they're all making different statements for their artists. Congratulations on 400!
Congratulations on 400 Vince. I just want to say that I've been properly painting for 3 years. When I started I made all the beginner mistakes and all the rookie errors and that's obviously fine, that's how we grow. However I discovered your videos and your style was what I needed. No frills, no click bait, no 'and then draw the rest of the owl'. Just simple guidance that can be applied whether with a brush or airbrush. Whenever I'm stuck for a technique, such as sheer fabric, or skin, or how to use specific colours I always know there's a video or 4 of yours I can turn to (your video on Vampiric Skin with Chadukar was invaluable). Recently I've won Best Painted at two local tournaments, the little 3D printed trophies mean more to me than any of the figures I own and sit proudly on my desk. I have you to thank for that. I have you to thank for the advice to paint something that scares you, it's how I found the courage to pick up Kragnos, Lion El'Jonson, Katakros and other centrepiece models that I was scared of painting I just wanted to say thank you. I know without a doubt that I wouldn't be the painter I am without your simple, effective guidance and I will always be grateful.
Congrats on 400! I've learned so much from HC in my four years of painting, and your videos are the ones i recommend to anyone new to this beautiful hobby. Here's to 400 more at least
Thank you so much, Vince - there's not a single of your videos where I don't learn something new. And it's hard to resist your relentless positivity. Really makes me want to sit down, fill a cup, and get cracking with some paints.
You’ve been an incredible guiding light in this hobby for me Vince, and I’m super grateful for the time and work you put in to show me how to paint miniatures. If there’s ever a question, a technique, or something I can learn, I guarantee I find it on your channel. Thank you!
Vince, I watch every HC video, and I already practice everything you talk about in this video, but it's still important to hear this stuff. Congratulations on 400 HC videos!!! And thank you for them
Mate, you're an absolute legend. Just got back into the hobby after 25 years and everything you've said in this video is absolutely on point. Cheers for the mountain of info... And dry wit that you've churned out for all of us lot to digest. o7
Congrats on the 400! You're a titan in our industry, not just for your skill, but your ongoing selfless attitude towards helping everyone with the HC videos. I've certainly learnt a lot from them and whenever I come across somebody asking how to do something, I find the best solution is to simply find an appropriate HC video and share it with them. Thank you so much!
I said it before. But these videos help me the most. While HC gets me to try a new thing for a mini, this gets me hyped for painting my existing stuff.
Man I reckon I've watched all 400 of these bad boys and I'm still a crap painter... But I'm MUCH better than I was! Thanks for making these Vince, it's an incredible resource.
First, congratulations on the staggering accomplishement that is 400 videos! Second, thank you, Vince--this was such a heartfelt video, one full of advice that we all need to hear.
Everyone has already said so much, far more eloquently than me, but I just wanted to say thankyou, we've never met but I can honestly say that I feel I know you. Your teaching methods work so much for me and I just need to say Thankyou so much, and we love you man!!!!!
Here's to 400 more! I never seen such a quality youtuber who spends so much time answering every question in the comment section its very refreshing, thanks vince!
Thank you, fellas like you have helped me get back into the hobby. It's appreciated. One day I may make it to a convention, and buy you a coffee or a beer.
You've helped me so, so many times both here and in your Patreon, Vince. I can't thank you enough for all the love and time you've put into this art and its community. Much, much respect.
The best advice from greatness (Vince Venturella and Uncle Adam) equals greatest gifts shared to the good of ones ability and the abilities of multiple generations (Ninjon and Miniac) . Possibly one day I hope to have as great an impact in life as you do in this niche.
Congratulations on hitting 400, thank you for being a calm voice of positivity, both in critique and encouragement. You're a beacon to the community and we're lucky to have you.
Congratulations on 400 Vince! You have demystified so many aspects of miniature painting for me. Airbrushing, glazing, edge highlighting, using a wet pallet, turning metallics to 11, hell even paint thinning - I all learned from you. Studying at the Hobby Cheating Dojo has given me the courage to try many new techniques, push myself to improve, and foster a positive mindset through failures and successes. You are an invaluable asset to our community. I wish you all the best and offer my sincere gratitude.
Wow Vince your opening message was exactly what I needed to hear. I have only been painting on weekends when I have a full free afternoon, but you’re right I should be painting when ever I have a bit of time.
Congrats on 400 Vince! Your videos have helped me immensely since I started in this hobby, and it was great to actually meet you and take some classes with you at this last Adepticon. You’re the real deal.
Thank you Vince. Your Exploring Colors videos have been integral to my growth. I sincerely appreciate your work as I've directly benefitted from the effort you have put into this channel.
damn man 400 already, i just cant keep up lol, thank you so much for all of your time and effort you put into this, simply the best painting videos on youtube
You got my like in less than a minute. I highly resonate with your 1st tip: been painting since I was 13. I quit every now and then, but I'm on my 40s and I keep painting. Trying to do on daily basis is a life changer. By the 5th minute watching I had to stop the vid and grab the phone just to thank you for all the time you've put into this. Simply put, my life would be a tad worse without you showing from time to time on that little window we got in the living room. Sorry I wrote a crazy amount of text but it got me kinda emotional to think how long I've been sharing my time with your virtual persona. IKR you read every coment. You ever did. So thanks again for your time, your knowledge, your great games (GL w/ majestic13), and most important for entertaining us. Sometimes, life kicks you straight in the * * * and a little distraction is enough to wrap your mind around something that aren't problems. PS. Wife always says "someone has to tell him to lower his camera so it doesn't feel like he's looking up all the time". Thought I was worth sharing her comments too 😊 Hope none of these sounds weird, English ain't even my 2nd language. Cheers buddy ❤
So much nice words from you! ❤ I really like you Vince. You are such a nice person. I’m glad that I found this hobby few years ago. It helps me and makes me really happy. Best wishes from Czech Republic ❤
I've barely touched your catalog of videos, but I always find what I'm looking for when I'm figuring out a technique within it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Congrats Vince! You prob don't remember me but I went to NOVA a few years ago with the express goal of shaking your hand in gratitude. Congrats on ur success and looking forward to ur future work!
You're a pillar of this community, Vince, and I hope you know that.
I’ve been saying this until I’m purple in the face.😂
More than a pillar; Vince is the heart of the community
He really is though
I'd say the bedrock.
The "But trust me on the sunscreen." energy going on here reminds me that you are definitine of the cheif custodians of this wonderful little nook we've all carved out for ourselves.
Hell yeah number 400!!!! 400 episodes of pure greatness. 400 episodes of dedication. 400 episodes of helping so many. Thank you so much Vince. You are an absolute treasure to this community, thank you so much for all you do for all of us. Cant wait to watch the next 400.
Exactly this!
Yes - Vince is a true giver… 🎉 The community is lucky to have him.
Getting strong "Baz Luhrmann Sunscreen" vibes....lol
Congrats on 400 video's....
This is the hobby version of 'Everybody's Free' by Baz Luhrman. Brilliant!
I was coming here to say this. Definitely. And it stands.
Same! Vince, what a champ
"But trust me on the contrast."
Hahaha yeah I only came to say "wear sunscreen"
Caught the first sunscreen reference…. Thought to myself “huh, was that just a fluke”…… caught the second one, “heeey, hang on a second…is he doing”…. Immediately catches the third “oh wow ok, he is. let’s strap in and enjoy this!”
Love this. I quote the "wear sunscreen" speech all the time and no one ever gets it!
I haven't even watched 50% of the HC videos yet and you've taught me more about this hobby than anyone else in the couple years I've been doing this.
Thank you for everything you do Vince! Here's to 400 more.
This series is like the grand library of painting tutorials and guides. People will be referring to this series for years to come. Absolutely phenomenal work!
Congratulations on the big 400!
This has some 1999 Wear Sunscreen song vibes, and equally good advice.
I love the Baz Lurhman Sunscreen vibe.
Haha, I love the subtle Baz Luhrman homage in this. Your sense of humor is amazing, Vince 😂
The "Wear Sunscreen" speech for the miniature hobby! Well done, and thank you for all of your wonderful videos over the years!
My thoughts exactly! At first I thought it was coincidence, but about halfway through it became clear it was intentional. Great idea
Thank you very much Vince! I've started mini painting August 2022 after almost 20 years "break" (I painted a few LotR minis in early 00's), and Irealise now that i've been missing out. I can compare my older minis and my newer ones and see the improvement; only compare with yourself of yesterday.

The man, the artist, the legend! You are going to live forever. Thank you so much! ❤ ... and trust me on the sunscreen! 😉
...but trust me on the sunscreen.
Thanks for all the fish, Vince! Looking forward to 400 more!
😄 Thank you Vince 'Baz' Venturella! Keep it going!! I dunno what I'd do every Saturday evening without this channel 😍
"You'll paint all sorts of minis. Beautiful minis. Ugly minis." Well, I'm halfway there.
I haven't been in the hobby for long, about two years, and never consistent, but truly, Vince, you have made some of the best painting videos, full stop. This series has so much, and any episode, all the way back to the first one, is full of advice that still encourages and inspires. Thank you for all of this, and I will always look forward to what you do next.
And yes, I'll try and paint more. No promises, but I'll try. ^_^
Vince likes one of my favorite songs!
Congratulations on yet another amazing milestone Vince! The hobby community is incredibly lucky to have someone as passionate as you in our ranks, your videos inspire not only inside the hobby but with so many aspects of life.
Wear sunscreen! I have to go listen to this now....
Also well done on making it to 400, thanks for sharing all you have.
"Your figure will never be perfect"
Perfectly ROUND thankyouverymuch!
A violin instructor gave me the best advice ever when I was frustrated if I was still pretty lousy: "you are at a legitimate skill level."
You are an absolute hero and pillar in this journey and community we all have started at one point in life. Thank you for everything you are and everything you have done. You have been the start of my journey and whenever I am painting, I have you streaming on my screen, or an older video, or a video about something I'm having issues with, even when I'm not painting and I have free time, I attempt to snag a chance to watch more. Thank you for being with us all and being the teacher, friend, and a pillar of this hobby. Thank you.
I feel like I’ve watched at least 100 of your videos (could be more, probably not fewer), and I think you’ve amassed in one video a philosophy that you threaded throughout those 100+ videos. I’m amazed you found a way to distill it in this one video. Congratulations on 400. Here’s to 400 more.
Thanks so much for 400 episodes, Vince, and congratulations on the milestone, and on the M13 launch! Great meeting you yesterday at TMX, thanks so much for being there and teaching, and for all of your patience and kindness and lessons. The gratitude felt is inexpressible.
Thank you, Vince, for your commitment to helping us become better painters. Cheers to another 400 HC vids!
Vince needed a powdered wig to match this soundtrack!
Congrats on 400 Vince! You have the most comprehensive channel on TH-cam and are an inspirational painter! Thank you for being a pillar of the community
Congrats on the 400 and thanks for all your invaluable help. 30 years out of the hobby means I've got a tonne of catching up to do!
"and above all else, wear sunscreen." Nice video Vince.
Mr Venturella… thank you so much for everything you do. I got back in the hobby in 2017 after a 20 year gap. Your hobby cheating videos have been a massive source of knowledge. More than the actual instruction, your constant refrain of don’t chase perfection has been so uplifting that it really made my progress rocket. Between you and uncle Adam, any person taking their first steps into painting are very safe and very supported.
Thank you again
Let’s get into it- I don’t even paint (my boyfriend does and I watch your videos with him). Your videos are awesome. Besides the wealth of knowledge you have on painting techniques, your advice can be applied to basically ANY hobby and even to life in general- it’s so uplifting, inspiring and wholesome. Keep it up and congratulations on 400 episodes! 😀
... But trust me on the sunscreen. Am I right, Vince? ❤
You got it. :)
You’re a legend Vince and I don’t say that often, thank you sir.
Thank YOU, Vince, for all of your help and instructions and just all-round badassery!
Dang Vince, you made me all emotional with this one. It reminded me a lot of Mary's Schmich Chicago Tribute column "Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young" popularized by Baz Luhrman in his "Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)" song. Thank you so much for everything you're bringing to thousands with these videos, helping and guiding us in our hobby. I hope it brings you as much joy as it's driving us to enjoy painting!
Thank you very much!!
Okay, I'll do the first one: paint everyday! It sounds like going to the gym and doing exercise!
Thank you, again!
Wonderful video Vince, congratulations on 400. Appreciated what I think is a take on the Sunscreen song!
I love how you mentioned how you dread sanding. It's what I was doing while watching this video.
Holy Larry! 400 videos! Wow. Congratulation, Vince.
Congratulations on this astounding landmark! The hobby wouldn't be the same without you Vince 😊👍
Vince, you're the best, man. Thank you for all of the amazing content and congrats on 400! Also thank you for the great weekend at TMX. Your classes were awesome and I learned a ton. I'll work on those metallic swirly stab's, I promise!!
Keep working - you can do it! :)
Thank you, Vince!
Vinny V for sainthood! That was poignant and beautiful brother. Thank you for being a constant force of guidance both in video, and in person. We are better people for it.

Glad I could help!
Cannot thank you enough for all of these videos.
You have created a library that when I’m stuck offer ideas and inspiration to give me the kick to put the brush back onto the model.
Here’s to the next 400
I’m glad I learned to paint from videos like these, that give me the freedom to experiment and play with my paintings.
400 episodes! Larry must be so proud!
But trust Vince on the sunscreen 😂
Congrats on 400, Vince. Your teaching has been monumental in both the actual skills you impart and the positive relationships you encourage to the artform/hobby. Im probably twice the painter I could have been thanks to you. Cheers!

Art truly cannot be seperated from life. Thank you for 400 useful and inspirational videos!
My pleasure!
You are awesome congratulations on 400 what an amazing accomplishment. Keep the awesome tutorials coming.
Thanks brother, hope you’re doing well, better see you at NOVA this year
I plan to be there, after my divorce and mother passing, I haven’t been competitive painting. I miss hanging with you brother, I’m looking forward to it!
400! Four-hundred! Fumph-hundreedion!
Amazing work Vince-V! 👍

So it's exciting to see so many different styles in mini painting and know that there's no wrong one because they're all making different statements for their artists.
Congratulations on 400!
Congratulations Vince. True service to the painting community
How you feel about painting is how I feel about writing. Picked 40k up specifically to get back into painting as a hobby. Great video man.
Thank you 400 times ! Always great to listen to your advices, not only painting techniques, but also how to live a good, satisfying hobby life.
You are such a wonderful person ❤️
Congratulations on 400 Vince. I just want to say that I've been properly painting for 3 years. When I started I made all the beginner mistakes and all the rookie errors and that's obviously fine, that's how we grow.

That’s amazing! Congratulations on the win and happy to help in any way that I can. :)
Thanks for the inspiration Vince. I needed that.
Congrats on 400! I've learned so much from HC in my four years of painting, and your videos are the ones i recommend to anyone new to this beautiful hobby. Here's to 400 more at least
Happy 400 Vince.
Advice from Vince just seems more genuine :-)
Thank you so much, Vince - there's not a single of your videos where I don't learn something new. And it's hard to resist your relentless positivity. Really makes me want to sit down, fill a cup, and get cracking with some paints.
Vince, you're such a cornerstone of this community. Thank you for helping me in my journey.
My pleasure!

Mate, you're an absolute legend. Just got back into the hobby after 25 years and everything you've said in this video is absolutely on point.
Cheers for the mountain of info... And dry wit that you've churned out for all of us lot to digest.

Congrats on the 400! You're a titan in our industry, not just for your skill, but your ongoing selfless attitude towards helping everyone with the HC videos. I've certainly learnt a lot from them and whenever I come across somebody asking how to do something, I find the best solution is to simply find an appropriate HC video and share it with them.
Thank you so much!
Great video! Has a decidedly Baz Luhrmann vibe to it...I should get some Sunscreen.
I said it before.
But these videos help me the most. While HC gets me to try a new thing for a mini, this gets me hyped for painting my existing stuff.
Man I reckon I've watched all 400 of these bad boys and I'm still a crap painter... But I'm MUCH better than I was! Thanks for making these Vince, it's an incredible resource.
First, congratulations on the staggering accomplishement that is 400 videos! Second, thank you, Vince--this was such a heartfelt video, one full of advice that we all need to hear.
Vince. Thanks. Thanks for taking the time to share lessons and advice all for free. Thank you. 🎉

Here's to 400 more! I never seen such a quality youtuber who spends so much time answering every question in the comment section its very refreshing, thanks vince!
Always happy to help. :)
Thank you, fellas like you have helped me get back into the hobby. It's appreciated. One day I may make it to a convention, and buy you a coffee or a beer.
You've helped me so, so many times both here and in your Patreon, Vince. I can't thank you enough for all the love and time you've put into this art and its community. Much, much respect.
Oh man, this homage makes me feel old. Love it, and congrats on 400.
The best advice from greatness (Vince Venturella and Uncle Adam) equals greatest gifts shared to the good of ones ability and the abilities of multiple generations (Ninjon and Miniac) . Possibly one day I hope to have as great an impact in life as you do in this niche.

Thanks Vince. This was really nice to hear. Also thanks for the background noise while I scrape mould lines off my 70th blood letter.
Congratulations on 400 Vince! You have demystified so many aspects of miniature painting for me. Airbrushing, glazing, edge highlighting, using a wet pallet, turning metallics to 11, hell even paint thinning - I all learned from you. Studying at the Hobby Cheating Dojo has given me the courage to try many new techniques, push myself to improve, and foster a positive mindset through failures and successes. You are an invaluable asset to our community. I wish you all the best and offer my sincere gratitude.
Congratulations, Vince, and thank you so much for everything you've done for our community. Absolutely invaluable and incredible.
My pleasure!
Wow Vince your opening message was exactly what I needed to hear. I have only been painting on weekends when I have a full free afternoon, but you’re right I should be painting when ever I have a bit of time.
This felt so much like therapy :) thank you so much for this and cheers for the 400 videos and to the next 400 :)
Congrats on 400 Vince! Your videos have helped me immensely since I started in this hobby, and it was great to actually meet you and take some classes with you at this last Adepticon. You’re the real deal.
Thank you Vince. Your Exploring Colors videos have been integral to my growth. I sincerely appreciate your work as I've directly benefitted from the effort you have put into this channel.
damn man 400 already, i just cant keep up lol, thank you so much for all of your time and effort you put into this, simply the best painting videos on youtube
Thank you Vince for all that you contribute! Yours are videos I come back to time and again.
You got my like in less than a minute. I highly resonate with your 1st tip: been painting since I was 13. I quit every now and then, but I'm on my 40s and I keep painting.
Trying to do on daily basis is a life changer.
By the 5th minute watching I had to stop the vid and grab the phone just to thank you for all the time you've put into this.
Simply put, my life would be a tad worse without you showing from time to time on that little window we got in the living room.
Sorry I wrote a crazy amount of text but it got me kinda emotional to think how long I've been sharing my time with your virtual persona. IKR you read every coment. You ever did. So thanks again for your time, your knowledge, your great games (GL w/ majestic13), and most important for entertaining us.
Sometimes, life kicks you straight in the * * * and a little distraction is enough to wrap your mind around something that aren't problems.
PS. Wife always says "someone has to tell him to lower his camera so it doesn't feel like he's looking up all the time". Thought I was worth sharing her comments too 😊
Hope none of these sounds weird, English ain't even my 2nd language.
Cheers buddy ❤
None of it sounds weird, and it’s all deeply appreciated. :)
So much nice words from you! ❤ I really like you Vince. You are such a nice person. I’m glad that I found this hobby few years ago. It helps me and makes me really happy. Best wishes from Czech Republic ❤
You have truly made my painting journey more enjoyable... thank you Vic
I've barely touched your catalog of videos, but I always find what I'm looking for when I'm figuring out a technique within it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Congrats Vince! You prob don't remember me but I went to NOVA a few years ago with the express goal of shaking your hand in gratitude. Congrats on ur success and looking forward to ur future work!
