  • In this oil painting tutorial I'll show you how to paint realistic trees using three easy steps. You'll learn what brushes to use to paint trees, and how to mix realistic oil colours for trees in a landscape scene.
    I'm a professional landscape artist with over 20 years of experience in oil painting. My TH-cam Channel is dedicated to helping people learn how to paint in oils. I really believe that everyone can learn how to paint!

    Just watched Michael J Smith video for the time, I have watch literally hundreds of TH-cam painting tutorials, teaching myself to paint, and finally I have found someone who will actually break it down. He shows what brush to use, how to mix paint, and what brush strokes technique to use. Without all the unnecessary talk and chatter, like the others, I'm not interested in listening to how someone pet is doing, etc...Not only is he a talented painter, but talented teacher, Thank you Mr. Smith for sharing your gifts.

    I am an abstract process based artist and paint nothing like you. That being said, I love seeing your technique and concern for your materials. I look forward to figuring out how to adapt a bit of what you do into my work.

    Painting tree areas, no matter what else is in them is my favorite all time style. This and more of your tutorials are going to be such a great help. Keep up the master work!

  • @Dr10Jeeps

    As I've said in some of your previous videos, your ability to paint foliage in a photo realistic manner is simply amazing. And, yet, you make it look so easy!

    Good to see you back again mike. You’re the champ and it’s terrific to learn from your TH-cam channel when you can’t afford the real lessons on your sight yet... I really hope you don’t abandon it completely, us lower income folk really really appreciate your teaching and professional craftsmanship. Were else can we get it...So a heartfelt thanks, and I know I speak for many. Eventually we will be able to get to your online lessons but until then God Bless and thanks for your generosity!

    Michael, you continue to inspire and instruct me. I remember when I began years ago and had no one to turn to for help. I learned from my mother before she died. You have provided consistent quality instruction for so long I wanted to say thanks again. I love the equipment and studio. I’m switching from acrylic to oil soon.

    • @ggkohler

    My second time watching this video, first time exhausted me, this time decided to try it because my trees, among other things, do not look realistic! Found a photo, used your method, it took me about 6 hours to complete one tree but I am incredibly happy with the result! I will practice practice practice my trees but had to say a triple thank you!!
