[@sbstone3888]

I'm still with ya too Michael. I see Elizabeth is 70, and I am 76. Oldies but Goodies. Having fun with your techniques. thanks for all you do!

[@leannastrydom1057]

Wow am a 69 year old just beginning to paint ( self taught) and so much info gained from this ...... very grateful.

[@MrKhadija]

Me too!!

[@kjzach11]

I am 75 .just started painting water falls on a wall. It ended up like nayagra falls on a huge circular wall.

[@eyeonart6865]

Your trees are just awe inspiring. your willingness too share how you do it is so wonderful and giving. it is so appreciated.

[@fannyhanover8653]

Your underpaintings look like almost finished impressionistic or plein air pics. Very nice!

[@maryweir2808]

Fantastic Michael and love your sense of humour too.

[@repperlouise-andee7079]

currently working on my "emerald water scene" painting gone bad...beginner here, was frantically searching through tree painting videos and came to this one. I feel empowered to fix my painting which I thought had become an UNhappy mistake. thanks for recording these and making them available to all.

Excellent teaching of value.

[@valeriacaceres7369]

Hola. Me mi nombre es Valeria, soy de Chile y me apaciona tu trabajo. Estoy intentando seguir tus consejos ya que le estoy pintando un paisaje de una Araucaria que es el árbol tipico de mi pais, es un regalo para mi hermana. Te admiro mucho. Gracias por tus videos

[@elizabethconnolly2189]

Thank you so much. I learned alot but have much more to learn. My trees still don't really look like trees yet. At 70, I just retired and am a beginner but loving it and, with your help, will get better.

[@yongyi4086]

Elizabeth Connolly hahaha I am just retired too. I bought all the paints and brushes before I retired. now, I am watching color tubes and brushes every day with white canvas. sometimes i hold the brush and acting like a painter, painting trees, clouds, flowers---. the problem is, the canvas is still solid white when i put the brush down. hahaha

[@tsancheteresa758]

I love how you painting! Tank you. You are really a master painter!!

[@Debbyiamme]

Yong Yi, have you tried painting on paper first with acrylics? You can use watercolor paper and just start painting. You can try some decorative one stroke painting, too. I am a beginner, as well. I've got some canvases but hesitate so much. I did paint one painting on a canvas board and it really wasn't too bad. Everyone seems to like it. Acrylics dry fast so use a spray bottle or a sta-wet palette. Or you can just dampen a paper towel and put wax paper on top of that on a plate or even a paper plate. But make sure it's just damp. Mine was very damp yesterday and my paints were too wet. I swapped it out with a much less damp paper towel and just occasionally spray it with a mist bottle of water. If I want to go get a spot of tea or something then I put another plate over top upside down onto the other to make like a cap. I was away from it for 3 hours yesterday and my paints were still wet. Just paint, paint anything. It won't hurt anything. I was like you but then realize, no one has to see what I did and I enjoy painting. If I don't like it, in the trash it goes. When I feel confident enough to use my canvas then I will. Good luck. You'll do fine.

[@kiriakizikou2447]

What you're saying here is a true help for all beginners including me :P Awesome idea with the plate-cap! I'm using wax paper too but somehow it rips on me while painting and that makes my colors full of paper scrumbs :/ I use it without the paper towel under it could that be the reason? your last lines are what everyone has to remember whenever scared of trying something new! And watercolor paper is cheap enough to just not cry over it later indeed! :D

[@Debbyiamme]

It could be but don't press too hard on your paints on top of the wax paper. Yep, the damp, (not wet) paper towel under it helps to keep the paints wet so that us newbies can take our time while learning how to paint. LOL happy painting. Cheers

[@Leofraga172]

wonderful Mike!

[@jeanlecoq5140]

Very nice. I will try your technique. and I loved the speed up music.

What amazing detail you do. I agree that rigger brushes are great for trees. I love to use them with my acrylic paints.

[@adbarrett5498]

Here's the thing... just like when I listen to certain Classical Music, I cry when I watch you paint. You are so talented. STUPID talented... OMG... thank you for sharing you! :)........

Wow not only do I enjoy watching and learning from you but enjoy your music list ...so relaxing music I've never heard before would love to get a list of the music or station to put in my phone. awesome videos :) I also noticed you have your paintings framed . do you do your own framing as well ? would like to get some MDF boards too is it cheaper to purchase then canvas? also shot photography for 10 or more years it's been a while ...I think I keep coming back to watch because we seemed to enjoy the same things. My only regret is I wish I would have started painting sooner I really enjoy it! Never too late tho. your channel is becoming my go to first so thank you!
