This is awesome and very helpful to a stroke survivor who now tries to paint on iPad. I used to try to be way too precise.Also, now have to use non-dominant hand(less motor control). I used to be left handed; but the left side of my body is paralyzed; thank God my right hand is still functional.Tad’s approach and thought process is awesome! Thanks!
That's incredible! I've learned from my grandparents that learning to use your non dominant hand is a great practice for your brain. When my grandparents got Alzheimer's their doctor set them to do many non dominant hand exercises to help slow the affects. And it's almost funny how coincidental this is, but just yesterday my dad told me about his college friend who got his whole body paralyzed and made a beautiful animation with just an eye tracker. If there's anyone out there who thinks their disability has made making art impossible I really hope these stories gave you hope!
I love how thoughtful and free-spirited his style is. It made me think that it's more than ok to be messy during my own painting process, and that there's a lot of potential in embracing messy strokes. The painting turned out really beautiful too!
Thank you Proko and Tad! It’s wonderful to hear his thought process! I think there is a lot we don’t hear that can’t be communicated through language. The “feeling” or intuition that goes into making a picture is what we all have to explore and develop artists. We all benefit by learning from each other!
Wow, there is a real emotion in Tad's paintings. I especially like the boulders in the middle of the water with their reflection in it. The way Tad captures the light is amazing.
Tad is an exceptional painter! I love his work. This video was very inspiring. I don’t know how many times I see an intriguing scene but it has flaws. So cool to see how he manipulates the reference. I hope we see more videos from him!
I'm trying to move from watercolor to gouache and an artist friend pointed me to this video. Spectacular. The water ratio has been baffling. Since I'm not crazy about barns, even though I live in rural VA, when an artist paints a barn that is a fabulous as yours, I rethink the subject. :-)
This is wonderful, thank you. I love seeing an artist's process. Watching a vid like this that includes mistakes made and advice is truly valuable and encouraging.
Loved this vídeo bc I always thought it was bad to modify the reference pics bc thats what a lot of ppl say but I always do it, and this shows me that is cooler to do so
Been a fan of Tad's lovely, lovely work for a long time (and he makes the BEST cigar box pochade boxes btw!), so it's great to see him getting airtime on the Proko channel!
Silly question - I only have watercolour and acrylic paints, never used gauche. Can I use acrylic instead to to follow your demo? Thanks so much, the painting is fantastic!
Thank you for this tutorial I really enjoyed his input. On another note, does anyone know what kind of palette he is using? It looks like it’d nest nicely inside a pochade box for traveling.
Thanks Tad! You can view more of his work and buy some of his paintings at tadretz.com/

TAX!!! :D
@@asfandyaralam7180 lol
I have always hoped for this video to be shot. Tadretz is my all time favorite painter and I am glad I finally saw him on your chanel.
I find it fascinatig How articulated he is about his progress: like entring his mind while he paints.

I love the way he paint, more than painting it self.
I love your style of looseness using gouache, lovely work! Can’t wait to see more!

Is this how gouache painters usually are?
I've never seen a painting style that's as bold!
Incredible stuff!
Silly question - I only have watercolour and acrylic paints, never used gauche. Can I use acrylic instead to to follow your demo?
Thanks so much, the painting is fantastic!
Wonderful!
amazing video and incredible painting!!
Thank you 👍
Awesome!! Thank you so much. What kind of paper are you using ?
I really like hot press paper. The smooth surface makes very crisp edges.
Very helpful. Thank you
Amazing, thank you!
This is amazing 😊

Hello Tad, for today my reference is your hair and I will try to paint it better than the original LOL.
I dunno what you talking about mate, his hair is probably better than yours
This guy assaults the canvas with that big brush and I like that.
Very very nice 💞💯🎨🎨🎨
Wonderful process and result! But I can't help but be bothered by 10:10 😅
THANK YOU!!
Wow!❤️
