Lol. You sir are going all in on this youtube thingy. And the production value is showing in each and video you make! Kinda corny but man, its hilarious in the most positive way. Those close-up shots really show the hidden abstractions in your work. Its similar to experience of seeing a well painted artwork from far-away just to have it fall apart into random brushstrokes that make up the whole when up close. Where as your's looks simple from afar but when when zoom in its a whole other world of shapes and colors. Almost like looking through a microscope of sorts. Idk how else to describe it but like a microscopic world of color a micro universe of sorts. You should definitely include some of those close-up shots in your video from now on! Hope you and ur wife get over ur colds sooner than later friend! - Matt (the 31 year old for statistical purposes) fan and fellow oil painter from the Central Valley of California!

Thank you for sharing today, I will be trying these panels. By the way, I now live in N. Dakota but born and lived most of my life in Joliet, IL. 😊

Nice. Good job you did exactly what you should do with wood panels amd that is to SEAL them front and back and the sides aswell. Shellac is a great sealer, same with rabbit skin glue or PVA glue(basically an acid free white glue, ive used it all), after sealing the entire surface then few coats of gesso on ur painting side, some people only seal and gesso one side but that can warp the panel sometimes especially mdf boards. After i do those preparations i usually paint a layer of toned oil paint and let it dry(i usually use lead white because its the best surface ive ever painted on and that its the most archival and etc.) Once all is said and done you have your self an oil primed panel(in my case lead primed). Also ive been watching you for sometime my man. And im 30 years old, well now 31 technically, but I TELL YOU WHAT MY FINE GOOD SIR, I KNOW WHO COLOMBO IS THANK-YOU VERY MUCH(thanks to my dad, we would watch DVD sets of Columbo, original The Twilight Zones and original The Outer Limits...good times) SO WE YOUNG FOLKS ARENT ALL DEGENERATES PAL.. Lol just giving you a hard time, btw my dad is from Southern Illinois himself. Grew up around Carbondale and etc. Keep the paint flowing my friend! Cheers! P.S. i still cant figure out for the life of me figure out who the in the hell is this "wolfman jack" character you mentioned an episode back or so... was he that one cartoon character that would howl and the lady stage performer, and be very animated?! I haven't a clue about that one.. 🤷‍♂️ Peace! ✌️

Thank you for explaining. The paint so what is difference between acrylic paint and water soluble oil ?

I like to see the painter going to the palette each time. How they handle the different colors brush and etc.

Beautiful. Can you explain more about the paint you use and how you use it? Thank y

I’m a beginner and I couldn’t really understand how to start a painting. This was very helpful and now I feel capable of starting a painting without making a huge mess. Thank you!

Hi John, I'm sure I'm one of many but this female subscriber is very appreciative! So generous of you to get out your Georgians and make this video! It was very helpful for me as I have those exact colours. I never knew what to do with the viridian before. Thanks also for the detailed information on how you're using the brushes and choosing colours. I have zero art education so this is all very helpful. Your painting turned out beautiful, I will have a go at something similar and no doubt mine will have lots of flowers!

פישביין לעצים חסר הגזעים וחלקי ענפים בגובה.. כמו כן על חצי האי? משעמם חייב להיות עוד התיחסות לזה וחבל..

מפישביין מים כחולים בנהר? מוגזם יש ירוק יש חום בהיר כחול? מעולם לא.. גם עם רדוד? יש צמחיה מתחת למים שגוון ירוק נותנת מיד..

Hello, one of your female viewers here. I'm a complete beginner so I find detailed explanations helpful. I enjoy discussions of materials and setup as well as the techniques you share. I have a set of Georgian oils (not the water miscible ones, the ordinary kind) so I'd be interested in your thoughts on that - and a video if you feel like it. I want to paint solvent-free but I just got some Michael Harding Miracle Medium to try. Your paintings are beautiful ... thank you for your videos.

Just found you and got my Cobra paints on Friday, tips you might have for using them. I’m loving your paintings. Thank you.

105 views - no comments - no wonder.

1. You have nothing that holds your canvas - so you use your left hand? 2. Talk talk talk - no action - no useful advice - sky comes after trees, lol. The clouds end up in the center of the openings, because you are afraid to overpaint the shitty trees that need overpainting anyway. Dilatants use arrogance. 3. Just one camera on tripod? No cameramen who zoom in when needed or a second camera position to avoid your arm covering the canvas? 4. Cleaning brushes with a paper towel? Not enough for oil painting. Just forget it. Okay - so - presenting for 10 + minutes scribbled BS on a canvas is a solution? You are not a teacher and not a painter. Clickbait without any value.

It is unbelievable how some people won't stop talking, because they love themselves so so so much. They can't paint nor can they narrate - but they start talking after a few brush strokes and won't stop. This man is one of them. Last not least: I've never ever seen a painter that starts without designing the sky first. This guy sucks. Every later stroke of his brush makes his painting worse. No "happy accidents", just wwot weird waste of time. John, please, give it up and don't think your thoughtful explanations are helpful. A ten year old can make a better painting.

i love your painting beautiful

Likes and comments helps your channel. Great water technique.

Gorgeous painting!

Hi, i'm a complete novice but would naples yellow work

Beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

Very beautiful painting 💖💖

I have ben painting for years ....I like your work 👍

Is it good for thinning down the paint for actually using it on canvas ? Thank you for your video btw 😁

I tried Artisans. Did not like them. After much experimentation, I am using Daniel Smith and Cobra water mixable oils. I found these to be much better than Artisans. Good video with some nice tips!

Always love your vids and work! Keep them going!

Great job, so nice

Interesting technique with the trees. I will try that myself.

Great painting.

The great technique see the painting it feel more nice

Colors harmonization is very good see the painting it feel more beautiful

Wonderful keep up the great work i hope you become famous one day 😀
