I started my sketching endeavor journey four days ago, and I've drawn 4 cool black vultures already! I need to work on my fundamentals before feeling confident enough to put paint and color. Feeling better already! (Greetings from Colombia, btw)
I am painting a fan art painting of Queen Amidala from The Phantom Menace. I'm using the method of drawing on the canvas directly and then spraying the canvas with a sealant and then paint over the drawing. This is something I learned from Cesar Santos.
I got emotional when you started painting those river stones and your painting took life right before our eyes. For me, from that moment on, you worked your magic and I will never forget this painting 😮❤ Thank you so much!
Such depth and life in this work, textural qualities so vivid one can almost feel the cow or the background grasses and trees! Lovely, brilliant. Beautiful cows.
This is one of your best paintings, it is so YOU! It is your style, your eye for beauty and appreciation of the subject, your exquisite use of color and light, etc... Andrew, YOU are a modern master, so many of us agree with that fact. I want to learn to paint in the painterly realistic way that you do, not the old masters. Every thing you produce is breathtaking. I feel so fortunate to have found you and so thankful that you are sharing your gift with us. You are a diamond! : )
I like how you go to ultimate details. It's you. If you want to try to copy a master in their technique, it can open you up and make you learn and realize things, but your greatness comes from you.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained..." I spent a year and a half in New Zealand, what an artist's paradise! Your video here is very comforting and inspiring, and makes me realize, I tend to go off on a tangent, and thus lose focus of what painting is all about...sigh, so much to learn... so little time...:) but thank you for your videos :)
Hey Tish, just me, Tree here... almost finished watching for the 1st time, this video, but at this moment HAVE to say so glad you can express the truth behind painting ((that artists (any creators) aught NOT TO THINK about the external)) . Hope you get a lot of "likes" and viewers responding about this. With that said, your painting is beautiful! 😊
I thank You, Andrew, every time I watch a video of Yours. You never fail to inspire. Your heart and mind combined is a beautiful painting itself. You also inspired me to make a palette table on wheels, very similar to the one you have. Thank you for that. I pray that you are in good health. This dark world needs your light. Get some rest - whenever you can. Again, Thank You.
I am reminded of my art teacher’s message to me: “detail adds interest!” For me, the best successes are when your vision can match your application. That is the ghost I’ve always chased. And there is, sometimes your vision does evolve within the composition. It is all about the journey. It can take you to new and exciting places. Another lesson from my teacher, “Paint what you see.” That in itself can be the hardest lesson.
A really valuable message thank you Andrew. My tiny studio is my happy place, and right now I am painting flowers in acrylics, in my own style. Revamping and finishing a painting I began 7 years ago. 9 years ago, my brother died - he was my painting buddy and a superb, visionary artist with flowers, both realism and abstract. I miss him sorely, and have learned much from his paintings, but I still have my own style. Your Video has come at a special time for me and helped hugely. Today is the 9th anniversary of my Mum's death as well (my brother died in December 9 yrs ago) My Mum was also an excellent water color artist and loved critiquing my work. Thank you for continuing to share your experience and thoughts with us. Note, that I also do seascapes and landscapes - photo realistic.
What a lovely subject! You are a master and just don't know it. I'm sure that everyone who is fortunate enough to see your work realizes just how talented you are. Thank you so much for sharing your process with us- you inspire people to draw/paint. I could look at this painting for hours.
Thank you for your thoughts and narration. As an artist I have experienced the same sense of being lost and ready to throw in the towel and start something new. I came to the same realisation as you some years ago. I learned to push through the doubts and find the flow in my own paintings. I look forward to seeing more of your paintings in future - Paul 😃😃
Longtime fan who can say Tischler is one of the best contemporary wildlife and landscape artists of the world, it's a privilege to watch his videos on here, I grew up in an era where you didn't share trade secrets like this unless you considered that person a good friend or worthwhile.
Growing up with cows gives me pangs of memories watching this gorgeous painting come together with thoughts articulated which go through all our minds as artists. Very intuitive and empathic.💐
Thanks for sharing. I haven't painted in a while for that very reason...too focused on the end outcome. My paintings aren't selling and I got so discouraged. However, when I forget about all that and just pai t what I want to, I am so much more fulfilled. These cids always seem to pop up at the right time to let me hear what I need to hear. Thank you for that.
Hi Andrew! You've given me a renewed appreciation for cows. I got my fisrt Kodak camera when I was 13 in 1964 and the first pictures I took were close-ups of cows and their beautiful eyelashes. Black and white film to start with. Your painting of the cows really brought back memories! Tischler wouldn't be Tischler without your remarkable style! Thanks so much for explaining your thoughts!
You’ve got me in tears dear man. You are a gift. Your gift is a gift. I appreciate that you recognize the “old masters” (whatever that truly means), but more moved by what you personally have within you to offer the world and in the way you view and experience it. Capturing that is really all that matters. Absolutely stunning!
Just gorgeous ! You never cease to amaze me. Each painting a master work. The entire composition along with the details and the mix of colors are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and process. You are the best! I wish you the best today and ever.
Long live for you sir, you are one of the greatest of all time artist who alive, i hope you are celebrit your 100th , god bless you , sorry for my english im stil learning.
Thank you so much! I go back and forth with the same dilemma, but I always need to go back inside and paint from within in order to paint at all. I'm so happy to hear you say this, I don't feel it's so much a dilemma anymore.
I grew up across the road from my grandparents' farm, and I just can't imagine being able to capture those cows the way you have here. My grandparents and the cows are gone now, but we still have the farm. I'm going to think about your painting the next time I'm there. Thank you.
Thank you so much. I've never commented on your videos I've seen, and enjoyed.....but this touched a nerve in me. I don't think I've ever been taught such a vital lesson on what we go through as artists, and the manner, through this amazing painting process, of self discovery 💞. Again, thank you so very much Andrew
Andrew... I haven't watched you paint for quite awhile now... I see here that you have faithfully grown with your insights for painting. These cows are a beautiful master piece!! 😊 It's true that "practice makes perfect"!! 😊
ibeleve thousands and thousands of peaople learned alot from you , your tips and your painting secrets are amazing ! You have no idea how im get mad when i see your new video on my notifications 😁
Thank you so much Andrew for this video. Your message spoke volumes to me and got me unstuck. Your comment about painting "what you know" and "what is around you" hit me right between the eyes. I so appreciate you sharing your wisdom accumulated through the years. That painting by the way is fantastic! It does make me see simple cows as something extraordinary.
I have been in a rut for quite a while, ever since I lost my mom. I keep trying to get back to it......I have to tell you this was a fantastic video and I think I want to go try again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Great Mate, some good valuable lessons in respect to process and being true to yourself. A hard lesson for visual art students with limited time at school. Too many unfortunately give up and walk away from the process when they need to persevere. Take care, let me know when you might come for a visit to Perth, always good to see you.
This painting turned out really great - especially after your changes. The play of light and shadow makes it beautiful. In my opinion you achieve this mostly with the details like single blades of grass while the old masters you are referring to might be doing this on a bigger scale.
The finished work is simply beautiful; I'm so glad you didn't give up on it....I cannot tell you how much I needed this video and these reminders. I think your thoughts on this are absolutely key to being authentic as an artist and to have that joy, but it's so easy to get caught up in extraneous "stuff," and that does finally suck the happiness out of the process. I sincerely thank you, Andrew.
Very longtime viewer here...just wanna say I LOVE when you do these soft spoken introspective videos because your voice is like getting a virtual masaaaaaage. Oh, and I learn a lot too!
With some who dabble in art, its about the outcome, because the mindset has become a race to the finish. When we see a near completed painting, and we sense an immaculate work of art, the anxious artists oft at times kicks in.
I'm also happy you didn't give up! I truly appreciate your transparency and not being afraid to share your thought processes. I have experienced similar challenges, and now I have a technique for pushing through... Focus on the process! My sincere gratitude, Andrew!
Not only is A.T. the most amazing modern artist alive but we can ALL agree his humility and willing to teach is GOLD. This video proves art is about the soul not just degrees and others' opinions. Thanks for explaining the external & internal aspects. This encouraged me keep pushing on my current project. Ps. Flow state can take forever to get into but MAGIC when you do. Thanks A.T.
Another magnificent painting.I’ve been promoting your paintings in a new art group I’ve joined. One of the ladies is going to love this. She’s currently painting a Hereford.
I watched this video several times and it still amazs me how beautyfull and realistic you can paint !!! It s amazing !!!! Just keep on painting and you never going to lose my attention Andrew !!!!
To quote a couple of great lines from the film and play Hobson's Choice - "But he's the old master!" "And you are the new!" Great to see an artist gaining from the old, but being the new. Gorgeous result.
Andrew, all the way through art school in the 90s, the instructers hounded me over being too tight, being too representational, and even painting, which they said was a dead art form. When came across you, I immediately thought, that is how I dream to paint, and I am getting better every day, but I can just be the artist I am, but growing all the time. Each of the brush strokes you make. Are we learning experience for me. I'm fighting with a painting now, what you have said has been a great reminder.Thanks
So glad you posted this. The painting is gorgeous! I am currently “fighting” with a painting of horses. This inspires me to stick with it and and just enjoy the process with no preconceived expectations of the outcome. Thanks Andrew! Just the “kick in the pants” I needed.
As a professionnal illustrator that truth has always been my mantra, especially talking to new artists and young people. Art isn't about your "gift", "talent" or end result (although as a professionnal illustrator the end result does matters a lot for the client) but to me it's about love. It's a simple truth but it's very strong to me, i do art because i just love it that much, i love it to the point i can spend 10 hours a day 5 days a week and still feel the burn of the process affecting me in positive ways. Being there, going through the moment, it's so valuable, especially if you're like me "someone who's always not there, dreaming about something". Art and painting keeps me here at least for a few hours, it's not always that easy but it's a thing i'm grateful for because it makes my moments on this earth so much more precious. Keep up painting Andrew, your work is inspiring and your technique admirable, your words too are sources of inspiration.
I was talking to an Artist at his Exhibition, and asked him if had he seen some work of some well know artists. He replied that he didn't know much about any other artists because he was too busy painting his own work. His painting were beautiful. However, on reflection I realised by what he said that I was spending too much time watching and reading other artists work and techniques and not enough time working and developing my own. Studying other people's work is good, but being in ore of others art can intimidate and restrict you in a negative way. I myself have decided not to worry or get bogged down by being "Not good enough" and about what others think, but instead get out and paint what pleases me . I think maybe this is a what you was getting at, and you are right. I do however love your paintings and comments. Please don't ever stop.
You listed some inspirations for this peice and I was reminded of Peder Mørk Mønsted, a landscape painter that I believe you might know of, which is very inspiring.
Thanks Andrew I am going through same process right now and have wanted to give up on a painting commission and I do need to go back and paint like me!
I thank You, Andrew, every time I watch a video of Yours. You never fail to inspire. Your heart and mind combined is a beautiful painting itself. You also inspired me to make a palette table on wheels, very similar to the one you have. Thank you for that. I pray that you are in good health. This dark world needs your light. Get some rest - whenever you can. Again, Thank You.
Love that even you make a color wheel on the side when painting! Amazing painting by the way and thank you for the insight into your thought process. Makes it all very relatable.
No matter whether it is these amazing videos , podcasts , short clips.. Andrew , your content is pure Gold at the least! You don't only give an insight to art but you go further. You awaken the soul. You inspire and motivate. Thank you for your amazing content.
I can't imagine wanting to paint like anyone else when you have your talent Tish. And you're right....no matter who we study and for how long...we'll always paint like us. Thank you. 🙏
You got it... isn`t it amazing how when you are in it time stops and we get a taste of a place called eternity? Love what you do and love the story of your unfolding. Thank you for bringing us along for a bit of the journey.
I am so grateful that I am living here now, in this present moment in space/ time to see the great painter Andrew Tischler. The Old masters may not consider them self masters in their living time. That is the mark of a master. Watching you painting, all your studies and your afford is so inspiring. Master or no master, who cares. It is just name convention of humanity. The point is if this makes you a better human been. That is the key. Thank you will never be enough.
Yes Andrew, cows are cool! 😃🐮 Just continue to be you, this painting is sublime. Thank you for the reminder to be immersed in the process. This is something that currently rings so true to me.
I dont paint only draw,but after watching the video and taking up all your information i will put a brush to a canvas and et it go,no worries about other people say,i will be me and only me,thank you Andrew and let God bless
I really appreciate your thought process in this piece. I think it is refreshing to hear that a Master as yourself is always pushing your envelope forward. Thanks for that!
Haven't painted anything since war started, and now looking at this amazing cows, I really want to start paint again. Thank you for the inspiration and for reminder that process is really important.
Perfectly wonderful, this could be an ideal picture of cattle grazing in our beautiful Texas hill country. Absolutely ideal use of both color and texture. It feels real, but is better.
Isn't what made the old masters great the fact that they painted like themselves? They painted how they saw things in their own way. You have to be true to yourself because you see things a little differently than everyone else and that's what makes one's work interesting and authentic. You can get inspiration of color choice and technique, etc, from others, but you can only authentically portray how YOU see things.
It's like you're sitting with my soul! Every word you spoke is something I've been through recently and I knew what you were going to say before you said it. I'm in awe.
I really got into painting seriously back in the 90s. I started watching Bob Ross and other TV artist. These people had 23 min. to complete a painting; therefore they painted very quickly. No muss no fuss just use a bigger brush! I developed into a speed painter not realizing that I was missing the point of creating a painting from the heart. Watching you paint made me realize that by slowing down (even with acrylics) and paying attention to detail could make for a much better painting; taking my work to the next level. THANK YOU!!!🥰🤩
You're quickly becoming one of my biggest inspirations! You hit on something that I've been struggling with lately and also sort of a realization I'm coming to grips with, as I've been trying to make my work more loose and "painterly". While it's great to grow and seek out new ways of learning its also ok to accept that I like to do detailed paintings. I too like small brushes and details and while I might really love the loose brush strokes other artists create, I can also accept the fact that I have my own style and don't need to shy away from my strengths. I'm eager to create a large scale piece! Thanks for sharing all your insight and keeping me inspired to push paint around!
Gosh! Your words are as beautiful as the painting! Your "ah ha" moment to paint "like you" was amazing! I am a very brand new artist (although I am not a brand new human 😂, not even close). I just completed my very first oil painting, and ugh the struggle with wet sand at night has me a bit frustrated. I just love your attention to detail. It is inspiring, educational, and encourages me as an artist to appreciate all the nuances in the things we see!
One of your best videos Andrew. I fully agree with all the points you made. In effect be yourself when painting. I really like the textured effects you achieved with the fully loaded larger brushes. Off into my studio now to see if I can apply the points you made to a commission that I reluctantly took on.
Such wonderful insights!! And I so needed to hear them! What else I learned from watching you and listening was that you kept going, sometimes back to something I'm sure you thought you were done with, and tweaked it, made it better, changed it completely. And the little grass details, the water sparkles, the cow's hair....it really doesn't matter how long it takes, right? It's the process, getting lost in it! THANK YOU!
I am LOVING all of your amazing comments! I want to know, how is your latest project going?
I started my sketching endeavor journey four days ago, and I've drawn 4 cool black vultures already! I need to work on my fundamentals before feeling confident enough to put paint and color. Feeling better already!
(Greetings from Colombia, btw)
I learn from ur work ( real l life , classical and modern art) ,
I am painting a fan art painting of Queen Amidala from The Phantom Menace. I'm using the method of drawing on the canvas directly and then spraying the canvas with a sealant and then paint over the drawing. This is something I learned from Cesar Santos.
🐄🐄 ❤
I have been working on a Thylacine in native landscape of Tasmania (which I've never been, so I get friends to supply reference photos!
"The pursuit of approval usually ends in disaster." Stunning painting.
Andrew is one of the most amazing artists alive. I love his work!
A 100 percent! ❤
Exactly 💯
Totally agree
And what a teacher.
Yuup that boy can paint !!
A pure genius.
Truly inspiring. Cows are beautiful.
I got emotional when you started painting those river stones and your painting took life right before our eyes. For me, from that moment on, you worked your magic and I will never forget this painting 😮❤

Hope you get a lot of "likes" and viewers responding about this. With that said, your painting is beautiful! 😊
I tell you Andrew!!! Everytime that i look at your Painting I get lost in it !!! You are so perfect that it is unreal !!
This is an absolutley stunning painting. You are a master! What an inspiration to the est o us.
I thank You, Andrew, every time I watch a video of Yours. You never fail to inspire. Your heart and mind combined is a beautiful painting itself.
You also inspired me to make a palette table on wheels, very similar to the one you have. Thank you for that.
I pray that you are in good health. This dark world needs your light. Get some rest - whenever you can.
Again, Thank You.
I like that you do not mind showing that you had one idea and changed it to another idea.

Longtime fan who can say Tischler is one of the best contemporary wildlife and landscape artists of the world, it's a privilege to watch his videos on here, I grew up in an era where you didn't share trade secrets like this unless you considered that person a good friend or worthwhile.
Thank you for sharing Andrew. As a retired engineer, many of the suggestions apply to my field and have helped me grow as a artist.
I realized after watching your video, that was one of my problems without realizing it. Just be you in painting.
It's comforting to know that even a painter of your caliber wants to 'run away' from your painting sometimes...
Growing up with cows gives me pangs of memories watching this gorgeous painting come together with thoughts articulated which go through all our minds as artists. Very intuitive and empathic.💐
Thanks for sharing. I haven't painted in a while for that very reason...too focused on the end outcome. My paintings aren't selling and I got so discouraged.

Black and white film to start with. Your painting of the cows really brought back memories! Tischler wouldn't be Tischler without your remarkable style! Thanks so much for explaining your thoughts!
I felt freedom, peace and beauty in your wonderful work. thanks yes the work is written in 2 hours + 20 years of practice
You’ve got me in tears dear man. You are a gift. Your gift is a gift. I appreciate that you recognize the “old masters” (whatever that truly means), but more moved by what you personally have within you to offer the world and in the way you view and experience it.

Absolutely stunning!
You are wonderful. There is only only one Monet or one Constable and there is only one Andrew. 😊wishing you all the best.
Just gorgeous ! You never cease to amaze me. Each painting a master work. The entire composition along with the details and the mix of colors are breathtaking. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and process. You are the best! I wish you the best today and ever.
Spot on Andrew . Lovely painting, Lovely video. Thank you. Cows are fantastic creatures .
Self discovery is such a strong and miraculous teacher. Thank you for us all.
I needed this video and the message to paint. It's not the outcome but the process. It's the learning and the joy. Thank you!
Long live for you sir, you are one of the greatest of all time artist who alive, i hope you are celebrit your 100th , god bless you , sorry for my english im stil learning.
Thank you so much! I go back and forth with the same dilemma, but I always need to go back inside and paint from within in order to paint at all. I'm so happy to hear you say this, I don't feel it's so much a dilemma anymore.

Thank you so much Andrew for this video. Your message spoke volumes to me and got me unstuck. Your comment about painting "what you know" and "what is around you" hit me right between the eyes.

Not only is A.T. the most amazing modern artist alive but we can ALL agree his humility and willing to teach is GOLD. This video proves art is about the soul not just degrees and others' opinions. Thanks for explaining the external & internal aspects. This encouraged me keep pushing on my current project. Ps. Flow state can take forever to get into but MAGIC when you do. Thanks A.T.
Another magnificent painting.I’ve been promoting your paintings in a new art group I’ve joined. One of the ladies is going to love this. She’s currently painting a Hereford.
I watched this video several times and it still amazs me how beautyfull and realistic you can paint !!! It s amazing !!!! Just keep on painting and you never going to lose my attention Andrew !!!!

As a professionnal illustrator that truth has always been my mantra, especially talking to new artists and young people.
Art isn't about your "gift", "talent" or end result (although as a professionnal illustrator the end result does matters a lot for the client) but to me it's about love.
It's a simple truth but it's very strong to me, i do art because i just love it that much, i love it to the point i can spend 10 hours a day 5 days a week and still feel the burn of the process affecting me in positive ways.
Being there, going through the moment, it's so valuable, especially if you're like me "someone who's always not there, dreaming about something".
Art and painting keeps me here at least for a few hours, it's not always that easy but it's a thing i'm grateful for because it makes my moments on this earth so much more precious.
Keep up painting Andrew, your work is inspiring and your technique admirable, your words too are sources of inspiration.
I was talking to an Artist at his Exhibition, and asked him if had he seen some work of some well know artists. He replied that he didn't know much about any other artists because he was too busy painting his own work. His painting were beautiful. However, on reflection I realised by what he said that I was spending too much time watching and reading other artists work and techniques and not enough time working and developing my own. Studying other people's work is good, but being in ore of others art can intimidate and restrict you in a negative way. I myself have decided not to worry or get bogged down by being "Not good enough" and about what others think, but instead get out and paint what pleases me .
I think maybe this is a what you was getting at, and you are right.
I do however love your paintings and comments. Please don't ever stop.
I counted 565,762 brush strokes🤕. "Just Paint" Wow, you are truly amazing Mr Tischler!
You listed some inspirations for this peice and I was reminded of Peder Mørk Mønsted, a landscape painter that I believe you might know of, which is very inspiring.
Thanks Andrew I am going through same process right now and have wanted to give up on a painting commission and I do need to go back and paint like me!
Andrew, do not ever doubt yourself. you are an unbelievably great artist. I'm in awe.
I thank You, Andrew, every time I watch a video of Yours. You never fail to inspire. Your heart and mind combined is a beautiful painting itself.
You also inspired me to make a palette table on wheels, very similar to the one you have. Thank you for that.
I pray that you are in good health. This dark world needs your light. Get some rest - whenever you can.
Again, Thank You.
Love that even you make a color wheel on the side when painting! Amazing painting by the way and thank you for the insight into your thought process. Makes it all very relatable.
No matter whether it is these amazing videos , podcasts , short clips.. Andrew , your content is pure Gold at the least! You don't only give an insight to art but you go further. You awaken the soul. You inspire and motivate. Thank you for your amazing content.
I can't imagine wanting to paint like anyone else when you have your talent Tish.
And you're right....no matter who we study and for how long...we'll always paint like us. Thank you. 🙏
You be you!! You are an amazing artist and truly a master at painting. Amazing work!
You got it... isn`t it amazing how when you are in it time stops and we get a taste of a place called eternity? Love what you do and love the story of your unfolding. Thank you for bringing us along for a bit of the journey.
You are the best painter in the world
I am so grateful that I am living here now, in this present moment in space/ time to see the great painter Andrew Tischler. The Old masters may not consider them self masters in their living time. That is the mark of a master. Watching you painting, all your studies and your afford is so inspiring. Master or no master, who cares. It is just name convention of humanity. The point is if this makes you a better human been. That is the key. Thank you will never be enough.
Lovely cattle. I love this painting and really enjoyed the lesson.
I am so grateful for these videos. Sharing the same issues, challenges.. It's great to hear your thoughts-
Stunning painting. The way you handle the complexity of light and reflections on the water blows me away every time.
A true masterpiece again. Being simply in here and now with painting is the key to success.
I love it, not only the technique, but also the theme, its color, the light and shadows, the water and the quality of the video.
Yes!! Thanks again, Andrew! 👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic call on the water. The clear spring has so much more pop than the muddy water
Yes Andrew, cows are cool! 😃🐮 Just continue to be you, this painting is sublime. Thank you for the reminder to be immersed in the process. This is something that currently rings so true to me.
the brightness colors of tonal dynamics in cows is great. the high level of detail all around the canvas is to be celebrated 🤩
I dont paint only draw,but after watching the video and taking up all your information i will put a brush to a canvas and et it go,no worries about other people say,i will be me and only me,thank you Andrew and let God bless
Amazing work! wonderful. I dnt know that its the magic of oil paint or the carishm behind your fingers? keep it up, I am learning from you a lot.
THANK YOU SO MUCH YOUNG MASTER. MUCH LOVE AND LIGHT TO YOU AND FAMILY. 😇
S8 glad to hear Munnings mentioned. You are a great teacher and magic to watch. Thanks
I really appreciate your thought process in this piece. I think it is refreshing to hear that a Master as yourself is always pushing your envelope forward. Thanks for that!
Haven't painted anything since war started, and now looking at this amazing cows, I really want to start paint again.
Thank you for the inspiration and for reminder that process is really important.
This is why you are my favourite artist Andrew. This video says it all. It has changed my mindset. Thank you.
I am years with you and this video (artwork) is absolutely amazing! I can not find the right word to express it! Thanks, Andrew!
It is so wonderful to be watching you paint again. Love, love,love your work
Absolutely sublime. Loved this one so much. I have wanted to give up on most of my paintings, and persevering makes it all worth while.
How beautiful you've captured cows, water, trees and the veld and the light on all of that. Thank you. Tess
Wonderful. I can feel the water and smell the grass.
Perfectly wonderful, this could be an ideal picture of cattle grazing in our beautiful Texas hill country. Absolutely ideal use of both color and texture. It feels real, but is better.
Isn't what made the old masters great the fact that they painted like themselves? They painted how they saw things in their own way. You have to be true to yourself because you see things a little differently than everyone else and that's what makes one's work interesting and authentic. You can get inspiration of color choice and technique, etc, from others, but you can only authentically portray how YOU see things.
Beautiful painting ....I love your process ....and amazing color projection ....thanks for sharing....
It's like you're sitting with my soul! Every word you spoke is something I've been through recently and I knew what you were going to say before you said it. I'm in awe.
I really got into painting seriously back in the 90s. I started watching Bob Ross and other TV artist. These people had 23 min. to complete a painting; therefore they painted very quickly. No muss no fuss just use a bigger brush! I developed into a speed painter not realizing that I was missing the point of creating a painting from the heart. Watching you paint made me realize that by slowing down (even with acrylics) and paying attention to detail could make for a much better painting; taking my work to the next level. THANK YOU!!!🥰🤩
You're quickly becoming one of my biggest inspirations! You hit on something that I've been struggling with lately and also sort of a realization I'm coming to grips with, as I've been trying to make my work more loose and "painterly". While it's great to grow and seek out new ways of learning its also ok to accept that I like to do detailed paintings. I too like small brushes and details and while I might really love the loose brush strokes other artists create, I can also accept the fact that I have my own style and don't need to shy away from my strengths. I'm eager to create a large scale piece! Thanks for sharing all your insight and keeping me inspired to push paint around!
Gosh! Your words are as beautiful as the painting! Your "ah ha" moment to paint "like you" was amazing! I am a very brand new artist (although I am not a brand new human 😂, not even close). I just completed my very first oil painting, and ugh the struggle with wet sand at night has me a bit frustrated. I just love your attention to detail. It is inspiring, educational, and encourages me as an artist to appreciate all the nuances in the things we see!
One of your best videos Andrew. I fully agree with all the points you made. In effect be yourself when painting. I really like the textured effects you achieved with the fully loaded larger brushes. Off into my studio now to see if I can apply the points you made to a commission that I reluctantly took on.
Sometimes that is all we need. Thank You. You have no idea how valuable this video was for me.💙
Such wonderful insights!! And I so needed to hear them! What else I learned from watching you and listening was that you kept going, sometimes back to something I'm sure you thought you were done with, and tweaked it, made it better, changed it completely. And the little grass details, the water sparkles, the cow's hair....it really doesn't matter how long it takes, right? It's the process, getting lost in it! THANK YOU!
