[@SoCraftastic]

This is beautiful! The style fits with the theme so well. And, I've always classified NBC as a Halloween movie.

[@Makoccino]

Awww thank you!

[@Makoccino]

Happy Saturday! Since so many of you guys requested acrylic and canvas painting tutorial, I decided it would be fitting to paint the scene from The Nightmare before Christmas! I think I misspoke in the video! 😂😂😂🙈 I hope you like it!

[@apprajitarathore352]

I do have acrylic colours but don't quite know how to use them in the best way.. thank uu for this one 💜💜💜

[@gracekohli6262]

No you didn't misspoke it's perfectly fine and even if you did it's fine with me

[@govindgaira8454]

makoccino 😄😄I loved it😄😄

[@azrafaiz1994]

Ur ideas r just mind-blowing ❤

[@shyamoliroy3125]

If u call that misspoke then just imagine wht i say everyday😂😂

[@izabelalika6691]

The short brush strokes reminded me on the Stary Night painting #makoficationsquad

[@torugho]

But all his works have the short brush strokes... that's the fundament of his style

[@englishatheart]

That's why they said in the style of Van Gogh.

[@Anonymous-eo2er]

In the beginning I was like “oh yeah I can do that” Then towards the end „never mind, I can’t”

[@horatiusrajakaruna86]

I love your painting it's like it's brought to life and I love the movie also

[@meridawatson]

More of these Disney paintings please!

[@delilahlevy8159]

[@jennytyndall435]

This is both Xmas and Halloween is just the best movie in the world!!!!! This movie was home to me!!!! Always playing it year around! I remember being young and all my friends into Ariel and this being a outcast movie! Now I feel everyone likes it making me feel like I was never truly alone!

[@Makoccino]

Awww

[@Jmarque9]

I love Van Gough's style and incorporating it into a more modern context is so exciting to see. I really loved this tutorial and I'll be sure to try it out.

[@williambutler2077]

I did this today after watching your video and while mine didn’t turn out as amazing as yours...I’m still very pleased with it. I’ve got it hanging in my bedroom above my nightmare before Christmas things. Thank you.

[@SunjeetMassey_45]

[@bikergirl8914]

Love nightmare before Christmas. I struggle with acrylics so this is quite helpful, thank you

[@bluecurlygirl]

Love it Mako. I love Van Gogh anyway and his story breaks my heart. I'd have to say my favourite artist to date is Dali. Crazy guy!! Love how you mixed in Nightmare before Christmas - love that movie. I consider it a bit of both. We watch it at halloween and christmas. It's just a great movie any time. Keep up the great work.

[@ASIF1314]

You are so talented. I watch The Nightmare Before Christmas during both Halloween time and Christmas time since it goes with both holidays.

[@Nessi5]

Have I mentioned how relaxing it is just to sit here and watch you paint? Pretty relaxing. It turned out so great! I love it!

[@Makoccino]

Awww thank you!

[@nathaliademoura2055]

I'm Brazilian and I love your art, your tutorials... Ok, I love your channel. ❤️

[@gabr0901]

I loved that movie! I went with a friend to see it when it was in the theater

[@user-yl3kx9fv6b]

I LOVE THE PAINTING!!!!! And the movie. I think it has a great message, and I think it can be either Christmas or Halloween

[@purbakabir9894]

I only watched the beginning of the movie but I think it's a Halloween movie. Plus, I think it came out around Halloween anyways. Also; I love this it's so pretty!

[@ShahzaibMurad47]

the best halloween painting

[@cyannec9293]

I always thought Van Gogh's work had a sense of fantasy to it but also held true to reality. I love how you translated that onto one of the greatest Halloween (I think it's a Halloween movie if you haven't realized already :D) movies out there! And I'm grateful for an acrylic tutorial! #makoficationsquad

[@lovepraypaint]

What a great idea! This is one of my favorite movies. I should do this painting.

[@mhmd2133]

This is such a beautiful painting...i really like it

[@Serendipity-nh2uk]

I love this! Also, like your views on Van Gogh's work. 🎨❤ Nightmare before Christmas is a Christmas movie to me 😊

[@canadianlucifer8446]

It's a Halloween movie, definitely

[@tahanikazi1914]

Love you best artist in the world and the best person in world is also you

[@ladywolf4590]

This is beautiful and I love the feel of the painting! I’m totally in love with Van Gogh’s painting style, ah, there’s just something about it. Maybe like you said, it just makes it feel so alive. And I totally watch Nightmare Before Christmas on both Halloween and Christmas, lol.

[@maherinhossain7597]

Please upload more acrylic work!! I love your art ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@ranjanakandari3582]

[@Makoccino]

Thank you so much!!

[@lilminky70]

I love it! I'm a big fan of Van Gogh and The Nightmare Before Christmas, so I will definitely try painting this myself. Thank you for your very creative projects and videos!

[@Dionynis]

Mako! Amazing as always! *random rant here* I feel like what separated me from what I loved, from what kept my soul alive, from art- was the fear of doing something wrong and messing it up. Being a perfectionist I am, I refrained myself from paint due to these reasons. I remember stumbling over your channel wayyy back when I was looking how to make a wand and your videos truly captivated me. The way you spoke with such eloquence, I remember thinking ‘Oh man I wish I could paint or talk like her!’. But then came the dark clouds in my life and made me feel like all the stars my hands once held fell into a deep abyss. And now I really wanted to do something and not sit idle during my vacation and that’s when I stumbled back again to your channel. I felt like your words and how you always say that it’s okay to make errors kinda ignited a spark in me. I’m gonna try again and this time keep reminding myself that’s it’s okay. Maybe I haven’t lost my stars. Thanks to you! Thank you for your words and your painting videos! From all of us❤️

[@Dionynis]

Damn I wrote a huge paragraph. 😐

[@Makoccino]

Mistakes make us learn and evolve :)

[@jkmattu]

I always learn so many ideas for my school from your videos. I got A+ . Thank so much for help.

[@Makoccino]

Yayyyy!!

[@christinav2645]

This is amazing! I love the mashup of Nightmare before Christmas and Van Gogh :o especially the blending and colour techniques.

[@Idk-ud1pf]

Wow that turned out AMAZING 😍

[@ailinarias1246]

So amazing!!! I saw the movie (Loving, Vincent, so beautiful and touching.

[@delilah9846]

Literally waiting for this bc it's 10PM here. Okay off to the video 😂

[@boredbun9546]

[@aquariusb923]

[@graceannavarghese7643]

Wow! Who else is super excited for halloween? P.s. who else loves mako? #makoficationsquad

[@mariah7114]

This is awesome!! I absolutely love it and must try it soon. 💖 I always considered it a Halloween movie because he learns to appreciate his holiday rather than trying to be something he's not. Although, I wouldn't say no to watch it at Christmas. Lol

[@taylerjones2986]
