My real Dad, was an ARTIST and he could paint ANYTHING sadly he has passed away now,and I will never get the CHANCE to learn how to paint from him now!!! Art is my LIFE, I draw with charcoal, inkand do encaustic painting, but haven't concored all forms of painting yet! I love watercolor

[@CheruvuMaruthi]

I am an acrylic beginner n I can’t say what ur tutorial means to me . Please keep on doing acrylic tutorial in future also . Love your details in each of your work

[@stardustgirl2904]

Lachri Fine Art I would love to show my encaustic art, but I'm not really savvy with multi media, but maybe I could take a picture and send it to your e-mail? Acrylic is something I'm REALLY wanting to learn as well !!🌻🌷🌻Thank you!

[@Weblogic81]

Really loved how detailed were the instructions..even pointing out where one could potentially make mistakes...but could you talk a little slowly.. i feel like i'm running out of breath just listening to you talking. :P

“A bad layer doesn’t mean it’s ruined, it just means you’re not done yet” I absolutely LOVE that!

[@azalea1404]

- and Lisa says that again and again in many of her other videos. I love that Lisa-credo too. It stuck with me the first time I heard her say it, and having that statement in the back of my mind makes me much more courageous when I draw and paint. Lisa is one of the best art teachers out there.

That right there COMPLETELY took away evert bit of anxiety I had about these 6 paintings I have sitting here not finished.. I have been sitting here for a month (recently picked up painting again) and I've literally been stressing myself every single day over these paintings 😭

I'm glad you liked it!

You are a great teacher. So patient and you don't assume we know stuff

[@UltramarineBlu]

In any medium that you use, your white parts always glow, your fishes are so realistic and iridescent! I am saving this video to my favorites, I really want to learn acrylic painting, this is so helpful! Thank you Lisa!! :)

[@Lachri]

Thanks! :D

[@magnificentyou2279]

You're a doll! So thorough! You transition from one step to the next in such a congruent and sequential manner that it makes your instructions seamless. I tremendously benefited from your teaching and enjoyed it too.

[@pressplay1072]

Long story short I decided to try painting. I have been drawing for 30 years and My significant other thinks I oughtta try. I just LOVED your presentation and "to the point ideas and ways". Very instructional and USEFUL!!! Im stuck as to what to paint first......

[@palliparambilhamza2418]

Unbelievable Lisa.your explanation is remarkable. Everybody will try to paint by hearing your way. Thanks Lisa.

[@tracyhouser4100]

I'm planning to get my mom everything she needs to start painting. I've never painted before, but maybe a year ago she started just painting every which thing in her house, from tables and chairs to picture frames and artsy glass vases.. She really likes it, and with her kids having grown up and moved out and on with their lives, she could really use some hobbies to keep her days pleasant and moving forward. This video is one of the first I've watched in preparation to get her started on canvas, after a loooovely Bob Ross video last night, and I've got to say - THANK YOU!!!! All the products you suggested seem great and I appreciate you explaining and reiterating throughout the video that having low quality products and tools can lead to confusion and frustration for a painter when things don't turn out so well - things like pulling up previous layers. It was also so helpful and cool watching you paint and getting to hear your little anecdotes about why you do things and what you may encounter and how you deal with these things, like messing up a layer. It "doesn't mean its ruined, it just means you're not finished yet!" Really, just that bit of insight there made the whole video worth watching, and it already was without it. Cherry on top, eh ^^ My mom's gonna be so stoked when she opens up all these painting tools this Christmas.Thanks so much!! You've helped me do that for her. And I'm gonna show her your channel, and maybe get her watching more of your videos for guidance and general stimulation :D

[@carvsh]

Without writing a novel here, i'll just let a FEW of the wonderful things about this tutorial. I've painted, drawn, colored, etc.... for over 30 years and I STILL learn much from your tuts. My favs from this: charcoal pencil, glass palette, makeup mop brush, trace just fish outline first - (basically trace/ paint in steps or sections), explaining washes, explaining why to or NOT to use white (to lighten blue for example - keeping it very translucent) Many many more things I could go on about.... but in a very short version of my comment....... you amaze me every time!

[@stephaniewolfe2665]

This is perfect. I've been watercoloring for 5 years and want to start trying acrylic, literally wrote down on a sticky note: " Look up acrylic painting tutorials" and then the video notification popped up! Thank you! 😊

[@Lachri]

YAY!!

[@hollyann1256]

I love how you "glazed" the white with blue! I never would've thought of that!!

[@herbst777]

Definitely the most detailed teacher in tutorials and best artist I’ve ever seen in one video. Thanks again.

[@amritakhanna1751]

What a wonderful teacher you are! ❤️ Can't thank you enough 🙏

[@karanowlin9506]

Oh my goodness!! WOW!!! MY BRAIN LOVES YOU!!😅! I have always been an artist, I do all kinds of stuff, but I recently picked up painting and theres only one person I liked to watch until today.. this is my first time watching you and I am SO GLAD I found you! You have amazed me! You answer every little question my brain has when I paint. Lol Thank you so much for this! You have a new follower! 🥰💜

[@frankquarters]

Aside from simply being a talented artist, I'm so impressed with your ability to instruct in the most pleasant and efficient way. I cling to every tip, and am taking notes with glee. Thank you for sharing your brilliance.

[@rebeccakahrs7290]

Hi Lisa...I’m a new follower. I have taught fine art workshops in watercolor for over 30 years and I’m here to say....you are an amazing teacher and I love your passion for teaching. Thank you for teaching and sharing your knowledge. Rebecca

[@kcjleemx5]

I've painted with acrylics for awhile on and off. I am entering a big contest for my city and I've been watching your videos endlessly because I want it to be perfect. I feel pretty confident now and love the transfer paper technique.

[@bernardjean7918]

thank you for reminding me of things, have not painted in 30 plus years. your lessons are great.

[@anglobricks9086]

She has to be the best teacher for acrylics 👍🏻

[@jinx6493]

“A bad layer doesn’t mean it’s ruined, it just means you haven’t finished yet”......that really hit home and is a really great mantra! 👍 Awesome video, thank you 😊

[@Mistellesonn]

This is a fantastic tutorial! I have always dabbled with acrylic painting in various arts and crafts, but only recently have I turned my attention to actually painting scenes on canvases. And this may sound silly, but I am absolutely blown away at how much I didn't know or even consider! I thought hey, here is some paint, I have a wide variety of brushes and fair (or so I thought!) eye for color and away we go! I never thought about there being different types of canvases (smoother canvases for the win!), or using a big soft makeup brush for blending. These are great tips and tricks!

[@caligrannylovesyou2]

Wow. I’ve learned more in two of your videos than I have for the last 4years watching other ones. Thank you 😊

[@toddfullerton3930]

You were born to teach art. Thank you.

[@dakotacochran6227]

Thank you so much, I have been a glass artist for 3 years, kind of puttered out due to market issues in my locale and online... you got me back into art, and have created one of the best tutorial series I’ve seen yet, I’ll be tagging you in my next painting inspired by this videos techniques! Thank you again, you brought values back into my mindset, and have truly impacted the world for the better.

[@Lachri]

That is so great to hear!! I'm glad you're painting again!! Yes, please tag me so I can see :D

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

Like X’s a million. I’m a musician learning to paint as nighttime routine and this is the first method of order that makes sense to my brain. It’s exactly how I record music. Sketch a vocal with an acoustic, create my basic arrangement behind it, create the main vocal track with natural takes…add in the lead instrumentals, create vocal layers…then touch it all up and add the layer of ‘gloss’ if I want that modern touch.

[@fred5968]

I've been painting in acrylics for many years, but this old dog has learned some new tricks from this video. Thanks for sharing Lisa!

Thank you for showing a visual of how canvas should rest against stretcher bars on an easel!! That is SUPER helpful!

One of my new favorite channels. Thanks.

[@pantalonious3984]

I LOVE what you say about, if you don’t like the way something is looking just let it dry and paint over it, it’s not ruined it’s just not finished yet “ I promise that’s my new mantra as I learn to paint!!

[@mariannekeller7504]

Love this! I've been a self-taught acrylic painter for some time now. I've learned so many new tips in this video! I'd love to see more of these beginner videos in acrylic, colored pencil, and drawing. Thank you so much!!

[@mckennastabler1635]

I just discovered your channel today, and I am very pleased. You definitely take a lot of time to make sure we are taken care of and I really appreciate it. I have really gotten in to art this year. I always have been into art but I never thought of pursuing it. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for helping us beginners out!

[@carleighbeth1]

Thank you!! Your acrylic beginner videos are among the best I've found.

[@kandahman]

fantastic tips for acrylic beginners. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I learned a ton. great combination of spoken information and practical brush strokes to watch and imitate.

[@christynburton7256]

Thank you so very much for your videos I find them very helpful and yes I am very new to Acrylics. My medium is water color. However , I am advancing to do other works of painting and now using acrylics. I have started using Acrylics now for a half a year. Your Canvas and brush tips are awesome! I do use the boards and found myself liking the boards better than working on canvas. Watching you paint the fish and how do create the water bubbles were neat! I enjoyed this Lesson very much.

[@4um360]

Amazing work! I loved your commentary; it really helped me understand not only your technique but also your thinking process. You are an excellent artist and teacher.

Thanks I did this with a different fish and loved the bubbles especially . Appreciate the tutorial.

[@bella_color]

I remember you mentioning a while back how much you love fredrix and so when I was at the art supply warehouse picking out canvasses i chose the blue label. since then, i haven't chosen any other type of canvas because i love it so much more than what i was using before and they have pretty good prices too.

[@howiemerrill2007]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. You do an excellent job of explaining all the different aspects required to understand the proper techniques. I am relatively new to acrylic painting. It is great to find such a wonderful resource! Be well.

[@gabbiesmeemee]

Wow I have learned so much already. I did acrylic in high school but it seemed like it was more like coloring book style for me. I didn't have any clue about doing the background first and then your object in front of it. After seeing this fish I realized I've got to do this. I have been working in acrylic liquid pour practicing at home which was something I did in high school. I didn't think I was very good at acrylic but it wasn't that I wasn't very good I just didn't know the basics of painting, using values just helped make the painting look more realistic. Thank you for your paintings and your videos take care and God bless Deb

[@jewelofgod4262]

Love your videos. I'm learning so much and you're so encouraging ✌️❤️😊🎨

[@michellehicks6898]

One thing, I learned from you was that if I don’t like something, it means I am just not finished! I was working on a project and hated the lettering I’d done and I was super happy to just paint over it!! 😊 thank you

New subscriber here. The test for me is whether or not I can follow the video. I so enjoyed doing this one because you are so detailed in how and why. Look forward to doing more (already did the cloudscape/sea and again learned much). The tips are so useful for me as a volunteer set painter for an amateur theatre.

"Yellow is a pretty weak color." Having done a painting by mixing all the colors from red, blue, and yellow, plus black and white, that makes a lot of sense to me.
