Eric Wilson above your amazing talent, I also notice your unparalleled confidence! You are such a pleasure to watch! Wish you had some published books. Thanks for your response!
Oh, and some plants were cooperative, too..:) Great music as well.
OMG!!!!! Absolutely amazing!!!!! Just unbelievable!!! Thank you so much for sharing! 🎀😱💞
Thank you!! :)
Awesome skill Eric without doubt one of the top wildlife artists in the world.
So beautifully captured
Showing the beginner(me and others) your thought process is just as important as watching your skill to execute, makes us think we can do it! Yes the importance of reference, Thanks for your videos
Thanks Mike.
Brilliant!
Amazing, love the foliage
Thank you Mandy!
A absolute fabulous painting Eric . I love it to see how you are doing all those textures and learn a lot of it. Keep well and hope to see you soon in the future 😀
Thank you my friend!
I like the video. It's useful to me.Thanks Eric~
我喜歡這部影片 對我很有幫助~謝謝你 艾瑞克
Thank you!
Just incredible work. I love your attention to detail in all your work. Such an inspiration x
Loved the video Eric, but I was amazed that most of it you completed with pastel pencils ! I saw the occasional spot where you used pastel sticks but mostly fine layers with pencils....I have never been able to get such a sharp point on it like you have ....it was a great video to watch and learn from. At the end when you added a few “touch ups” it amazed me how the slightest touch of the extra colours in the cats eyes wow, the difference it made ! Plus the added colours over the cat fur. A beautiful piece Eric and I am certain your friend will love it ! I would if it was mine ! 💙💙💙💙💙
Thanks for sharing this great video ! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Shaz!!!! Much appreciated. I think I used more pencils on this one than normal because it was so complicated. :*
Eric you’ve gotta be the best of the best , this is wonderful work as always . Loved watching this from start to finish and very entertaining too . 🙂
Aww Thank you Alena! I'm very happy that you enjoyed it. :)
The Master of his craft at his skilful best. Thoroughly enjoyed this, so much so, I could have watched the whole 8 hours had you shown it that way, just to see you work on the fiddly bits, as I am not keen on time lapse work (although I understand why it’s done).
I also thought that the accompanying music was great too and considered I heard some Ludovico Einaudi there.
Thank you very much for your kind comment!
🏆Another absolute masterpiece Eric!!! You’ve also made me a new Adrián Berenguer fan. I loved the musical accompaniment!
Thank you Heidi! I love his music too :)
Eric, you are simply the best! Absolutely terrific what you show there! And as always with a lot of humour. I look forward to your next pictures!
Thank you so much Silvia :)
Eric, how about a DVD? I would love to know the details of creating that fur. It’s beautiful!!!!
Thank you Kay! I will be making a DVD for sure. It's all part of the plan. The only problem is that there's just me doing everything and it takes a lot of time to make...
@@ericwilsonfineart I totally understand!
This is truly wonderful Eric! Thank you so much for sharing it with us! I just love it❤️
Thank you Kay! x
As usual Eric, Excellent! Really enjoyed this and it was very instructive. Can I ask if that Tiger Tutorial is coming out on your website soon? I am waiting to buy it the minute you release it .
Thank you Andrew. Unfortunately disaster struck when my hard drive containing all of the tiger videos broke and I can't recover the data. I'm having to start all over again and paint another tiger. As soon as I've finished with my commissions I will be doing that.
Thankyou Eric you’re work is absolutely stunning and very informative Love it
Thank you Joy!
Beautiful and precise art. Have you gone over to pastel now rather than oils? Also, I noticed in one of your demos you seemed to be using pastelmat paper larger than 70x50cm. Was I just imagining this or can you find bigger than the standard size? And one last query, do you use any freeze sprays to protect your work? UPDATE: I've just come across 100x70cm sheets! I thought I might have to resort to trying out clear gesso or pumice gel to coat a larger board, but this size might be sufficient for my needs.
Thank you Leslie. I do more pastel than oils, but I still like to do oil paintings every now and then. Glad you discovered the 100 x 70 cm sheets :) I don't fix my work per say, but I am experimenting with sprays to assist layering potential these days.
@@ericwilsonfineart So do you find that pastelmat doesn't have sufficient tooth to get the number of layers you want? Do you find that the fixative changes the underlying colours of the pastel or is this not an issue?
@@lesliesaunders7625 No, pastelmat has enough tooth and a huge part of good pastel technique is learning to manage the amount of tooth and getting the right result before its used up. In life things don't always work out though, and you sometimes go wrong and just need that little extra. The spray can give you that, but at a cost of slightly darkening the colours. A good artist is always open to new ideas and willing to experiment. ...Sometimes that darkening may be exactly what you need, sometimes not. It's just another tool in the box.
Would it be possible to share a list of colors used in this painting? A photo of the pencils would be so helpful.
Hi Kay, That would be difficult as I use so many, but the pencils I use are Stabilo Carbothello, Faber Castell Pitt Pastel and Caran D'ache.
@@ericwilsonfineart thank you Eric!!😊
Hi Eric, I was wondering which number of Carbothello pencil was that stunning blue please, also those leaves are awesome!!
