You have such an uncomplicated way of demonstrating your painting tutorials. The instructions and details concerning the paints needed, brushes, etc. makes it all so easy to follow and duplicate. Knowing you are a self taught artist, it surely aspires me to keep practicing the techniques so that maybe, just maybe, I'll be able to paint these beautiful pieces some where close to your style. Thanks so much for sharing your awesome talent here with us, John!

[@daleknapp2769]

John, I have just found you on KZbin and Sunrise Beach is your first tutorial I am trying. I have been painting a little over a year now, mostly following tutorials. I love ocean and wave pictures and they are pretty much the only scenes I feel comfortable painting on my own. I am almost done completing my version of your tutorial. I can't tell you enough how much I like the results so far. I have learned so much along the way. I can't wait to finish this and then try your other tutorials. Thank you very much.

[@jmlisondra]

you're welcome Dale... I am glad you are learning from it. Thank you very much for following. Paint more. :)

[@markbonham3477]

That was a fantastic tutorial. I just picked up a commission to do a seascape from one of my brothers friends who was looking at my painting I did for my sister of a huge hawaiian wave which turned out so realistic however, I never know what I'm doing as I just paint off the cuff so to speak. This tutorial really helps me to understand the process.

[@tammymc37]

I'm so amazed at your paintings and techniques! Thank you for sharing them with us. Question: What brand paints do you use and how do you keep them from drying out while you are painting?

[@jmlisondra]

hello Tammy... thank you... I just let them dry and just add coats when I blend it.

[@MayaRivka]

Besutiful!!

[@jmlisondra]

thank you

[@GabyDokter]

Je vous remercie

[@nenisetiati2217]

Wonderful

[@jmlisondra]

thank you.

[@lindaleeharper5332]

Another winner! And thanks for the info about how to download the painting for a template. Did you say that using a pencil instead of the burnt sienna paint for a bottom sketch is okay? Thanks.

[@jmlisondra]

you're welcome... thank you very much Linda... Yes you can use pencil but chalk is better... I will try to use chalk on my next videos. You can easily erase it and it won't be visible after layers of thin paint.

[@patti687]

Amazing😀

[@alinetournier200]

[@jmlisondra]

Thank you.. I think he's better than me.

[@wiseman007100]

John magne Lisondra your welco.. lol....I don't know John...I think some of your paintings are better!

[@cameronwilliams1794]

beautiful

[@jmlisondra]

thank you

[@Akiza7861]

What do you do to prepare your canvases before painting? Do you put some transparent medium underneath or with the paints or white gesso? Because the way your acrylics blend is so smooth, and I can't figure out how you blend so well. I want that atmospheric look.

[@jmlisondra]

I only used gesso to primed my canvas... and I dip my brush into the water to make it fluid and that's why it flows on canvas.

[@laurajump2671]

I would love to try to paint this one I'm a little intimidated but listening to you and watching you it seems I can is this a 16X20 ?

[@jmlisondra]

It will be a good idea if you try this one... It's 14 x 18 inches... Yes you can do it on 16x20.

[@НаталияГоловкина-ш9й]

Супер, спасибо за урок.

[@njesusname]

Nice!

[@rondo1775]

John, what brand of bushes are you using and where did you buy them. Love your paintings and your method. I've learned so much about mixing colors from you. Thank you. Ron

[@jmlisondra]

you're welcome Ron... Most of my brushes are "Best Buy" and the quality are not that good compare to expensive one but I like its softness which is good for acrylics... Thank you very much!

[@rondo1775]

+John magne Lisondra (JMLisondra) Thank you.

[@ruthbircham7340]

Have you ever just painted on the canvas without drawing it out firstly? I just paint on canvas as drawing then colouring the objects becomes technical like paint by numbers. And it also tends to make the artworks look stiff. No movement in the image. But you're teaching 😊 so that's cool. I've shared your art on FB to my nearly 5,000

[@marynashoch9086]

Ur great painter i like ur way and ive done 5 of urs

[@jmlisondra]

+Mary Nashoch thank you very much!

[@vaneskaz2326]

really good ur a very good teacher. What brand of paint are you using?

[@jmlisondra]

thank you very much! I'm using mostly Reeves and sometimes Liquitix Basics

[@merlino9251]

Am I allowed to try and paint this painting ? It's just so beautiful.👍

[@jmlisondra]

Yes you are Tina.. Feel free :)

[@pamelamiles8761]

John, The brushes you use in your videos seem to be a little bit more flexible especially the details in this video on the waves. My brushes are kind of stiff. What brand brushes do you use in your paintings? Do you suggest a kind of flexible brush tip for this painting?

[@jmlisondra]

Hello Pamela... Choose the nylon brushes... I only use cheap brushes

[@MariamPareArt]

LOVE your videos! Keep making art my brother! xo

[@jmlisondra]

thank you very much! yes I will.. :)

Divno, prijatelju:dubina, u nežnoj izmaglici, talasi, koji se stapaju i polako dolaze u prvi plan, pokazujući lepotu snage talasa. Vrhunac je grad talasa, koji udarajući od stenu, stvaraju završnu dramu,pokazujući, ne predvidivu snagu i lepotu prirode, njenu ćud i raskoš, u vidu, zelenkasto plavih talasa, bele pene, koja razoružava i dovodi do ekstaze, rodne igre, na koju mi, mala bića, ne možemo da utičemo, već da se divimo, fenomenima prirode, koju nam na našu radost prezentuje, božja produžena ruka, u vidu našeg neponovljivog slikara magije. Zagrljaj, za tebe, tvoj rad i sreću, koju nam svaki put, nesebično daruješ! 👏👏👏🏡💐🌿

you're welcome Dana..

[@permortensen3409]

Dear Mr. Lisondra. I have to ask you a question,: in your painting ( Sunrise Beach) you tell us, that you are using burned sienna, but to me it look like a burned umber you are using.. The sienna is more red, and the umber more brown. Please tell me if I'm wrong

[@jmlisondra]

Hello sir Per. Yes! I am using burnt sienna. I think it seems darker on the video... And maybe because of some lighting effects on the video. I can't really explain it. Thank you for your question sir.

[@permortensen3409]

+John magne Lisondra (JMLisondra) Thank you very much😀

[@jmlisondra]

you're welcome sir.
