Thank You! This was an excellent tutorial. I learned so much from your video. I love that you explain everything in detail as you paint. I tried following along with your instructions and was very pleased with the end result.

[@persephoneblack888]

I learned so much from this video! Much more than I did in my painting class. My teacher told us to just paint whatever we wanted but she didn't give us instruction on anything at all. Thank you for making these videos! They make me want to get back into painting again.

[@bruceprins3305]

The best acrylic instruction video I've ever seen. Just wow and thank you.

[@ajduo6431]

I'm gonna try this for my art class! Thank you :) Hoping for more tutorials.

[@SlowEnglishwithAli]

This was so helpful! I actually used gouache (and watercolor for the under painting) with this tutorial and it worked perfectly! I learned so much from this video, thank you for the quality video.

[@shannonkuehn8828]

ADVICE: add a small image of the picture you're looking at in the bottom right corner on the video. This will let viewers see what you're looking at as you take these steps so they can understand better :) Great video though!

[@piera8207]

PLS GIVE LESSONS TO PAINT A REALISTIC BUTTERFLY....YOUR CLASSSES ARE AWESOME

[@iabram8993]

Excellent, thanks

[@mikerusso21]

If this is a basic painting for beginners, why not tell the audience which types of brushes are used? This is my second painting (first was a cherry from another site) and the instructor described the types of brushes he was using and why he was using them. Isn't this a little like trying to teach someone to play golf, reaching into the bag and pulling out an iron, then swinging away and returning the iron into the bag without telling the golf student that it was a 7 iron? Perhaps the equipment could be listed on the description above?

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Hi Michael, Thanks for taking the time to leave a very detailed comment. The brushes used in the video are all nylon brushes. Everyone has their personal preferences when it comes to brushes, so I hesitate to tell students that they must use a specific brush. The artist makes the marks - not the brush. If you want to learn more on brushes and brush selection, you may take a look at the guide I created on the site here...thevirtualinstructor.com/choose-the-right-paintbrush.html

[@ennuied]

I can't paint shadows under objects, inside the object any day but not outside. They just do not turn out convincing. In this video the shadow is not convincing either but still better than mine.

[@shaikfiroz9501]

thankyou..sir.....

[@wcliff4530]

How do you paint a lemon

[@shivanikakade5456]

Can u do simple with poster colors

[@seanreynolds478]

I enrolled and paid thinking that I would have access to a full length version of the video that shows all the brush strokes. Is such a version not available, even with the subscription?

[@borealisseaurora5347]

😍🤩👌👍❤❤❤💗❣

[@gijsboer3338]

hi there, I really like watching your videos. I just started my own art channel... What do you think?

[@HomewithNadineFlorida]

Amazing

[@lakshmibaimohan9915]

Awesome

[@StellaJovin]

[@ponchocolate3902]

The horizon líne tangentially touches the apple, merging the two planes, That is a mistake !!!!!!!!!!

[@PawelPen]

Where was this tutorial last year during my finals ;-; Thats my work with acrilics, just add the "dot" > shippuuden pl/user/fanart.php?lookup=50978&fa=34756

[@nahir5684]

Are you Bob Ross' son?

[@njfranck]

I'm a bit confused about the use of water in your acrylic painting. I'm thaught that water degrades the binding of acryl...

[@XofHope]

A bit of water won't hurt the binding. I was taught to use up to 20% water to paint. You don't have to measure it carefully, just make sure you only use a minimum of water to get the paint flowing.

[@Strawberrysunset23]

Omg

[@zaria.rejean]

He really sounds like Andy from Twin Peaks lol

[@garthok6224]

10 different colors for an apple...

[@joshuadavis6856]

I DONT WANNA

[@johnfisherart9237]

I wish acrylic didnt dry darker. It's would be a great medium then.

[@nickteller1864]

oml senpai no

[@vak1103]

Great Art work, but non-stop chatter :(

[@thevirtualinstructor]

Hi Arun, Thanks for taking the time to comment. Some may consider the non-stop chatter as teaching.

[@vak1103]

Loved your artwork, I just felt, that you could ve put on some background music, after some basic explanation and let the art speak for itself. (which it actually does). It would have made the video awesome. Just a suggestion. 

[@mayamorabito1669]

I like the explanations. Thanks for that. Keep up the good work (and the immense patience and diplomacy).

[@karennaturallyartby]

I like the chatter, he never says anything unimportant.

[@heenashah6036]

No no no it was just alright Good you..... thought till end Please keep it up...👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
