Ian, I am so thrilled I found you on line! I am a beginner & never imagined I would ever want to sketch, let alone find it so much fun. I joined + membership & so much value for me. My 3rd lesson begins this month & loved learning about lines, color & now tones etc. Mixed complimentary colors I never would have thought to mix?! THE RAKE coaching opportunity was the chance of a lifetime for me. I am a widow, retired on fixed income but creativity sparks such joy. I love & finished BRIGHTON PIER sketch but flu interfered with me getting watercolors down yet. I Especially love your ZOOM opportunities & your beginner classes are perfect for me. I highly recommend you to everyone. Your team is fabulous & your followers /community are so inspiring! Thanks a bajillion, Ian, for your you tube shows too!!! Creativity is contagious 🪄✏️🖊️🖌️🎨🥰🏝️ JillEileen, San Diego,CA USA

Discussing your lines of perspective is especially interesting videos. Thank you so very much!

Wonderful student artwork.

The worst thing about Ian Fennelly is that he makes it look too easy

How often do you host sketching trips like this for students ? Thanks Keith

I am a Fennelly and my relatives are from Kilkenny Ireland. I live in the USA. maybe we are related! 😅

Ian.....please straighten that painting on the wall behind you.

Beautiful!

Wow, just wow. The joy you have in your art really comes through on the paper 🎉

Wonderful,as ALWAYS, one day come to Brasil , there are millions of incredible places for you to realize your art, a hug.

Great sketches, I love all of your Orangutangs...

I think what you said is the transition from artist to master. All the “masters”, at one point got tired of just painting what people wanted (for earnings they still did) & in the style of predecessors. They began to paint what they had in heart in their own style for their own times ; their vision … and that is when they became “masters”. Of course, it may not be appreciated at the time by contemporaries & public but one never knows how it will affect artists decades later. VanGogh is one of the biggest examples of such. Just my .02 . Thank you for those heartfelt words … so true.

Wow Ian, I like this animalsketches very very much! 😊

Herzlichen Dank für dieses wundervolle Video. Es hat mich sehr berührt und mich darin bestätigt, dich als meinen Lehrer gewählt zu haben... es war das Beste, das ich tun konnte im Mit der Plus Mitgliedschaft lerne ich so viel, dass ich sehr dankbar bin... liebste Grüße die Christina aus Berlin

Thank you, Ian. You're such an amazing teacher.

Ian you have given me the push!

But you are a lovely authentic KZbinr and it is very kind of you to share your knowledge with us

Thank you for your nice video. Apologies in advance because I am a grammar pedant and I can’t help it. The title should be “things I wish I had known earlier.”

Educating film! But why that irritating background music??

Most excellent! Thank you

Thanks Ian... many ordinary things can be great ideas for painting.

I tried along with your video…. mine didn’t turn out as nice but it was fun! 😂

Such a treat to see more about how Ian's workshops actually work. I would love to participate in one someday. If not in Canada, maybe in Germany?

A great reminder... thankyou Ian. Any tips you have on colour are very welcome, as the colours in your work are amazing! And also how & where you place your colours. Your art is phenomenal!

Always your blending and imaginative use of color. A blue tree? My mind is running barefoot.

You are my favorite sketch artist, just love everything you accomplish. From Quebec, Canada 🙏💕

Thank you so much for showing us the different stages of drawing a difficult subject. Loved the way you used your pens for describing the angles. I used this info on my next painting and put my image within my paper! Such a treat, thanks for sharing.
