  • In this oil painting tutorial I'll show you how to paint grass in oil. You'll see my process and technique for painting grass that is photorealistic. You'll also learn how to mix green oil colours and what brushes to use for painting grass.
    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!

    Yikes I was painting and came upon this for help with grass. This person's art is incredible. I am going back to my kindergarten painting now and cry.

      Well you know all these other painters that say: "You don't want to paint every single leaf and blade of grass, who wants to spend their time doing that??"
      Michael: hold my beer
      You do need a certain amount of neuroticism to enjoy this process, but Michael seems to love it :)

    When you said 12 subscribers I was like "what, no way" so I looked at how many subscribers you have now and it's over 1 million. Good for you 👍

    only a dozen subscribers. I'm new to painting and your work has inspired me so much. I'm not so much amazed but grateful that your channel has expanded to the point where it was able to touch my life and inspire me to start painting. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you @Michael James Smith for bringing me into this wonderful colourful world.

    Love your techniques, sense of humor & the humble premise with which you attempt to teach us your insane talent. I've used acrylics for years and know I can incorporate many of your techniques, but watching your videos reeeeally makes me want to switch to oils!!
    Now I'm off to watch more of your fantastic tutorials! Thanks for sharing.

    Thank you. Am trying to paint a landscape which has a number of grassy hilly fields in it and this has shown me what to do next with the blocked in areas.
    Now I can get my fan brush and paint and start filling in all the lighter areas of the field in the front and all the hilly ones in the background which need more light and shade. I have been so impressed that I have joined your subscribers and will be visiting your other tutorials with interest. I paint in oils and it is difficult to find tutorials that deal with the basics of oil painting in landscapes. I also prefer Windsor and Newton although I also find Daler Rowney very good.

I hope I can do half as good but I'm going to keep trying until I get it right. I'm using acrylic because of breathing problems but I think I can still try this with Acrylics. Once again, I love your paintings and I love your videos. Thank you so much, Michael James Smith.
