[@TheNanabanana127]

theartsherpa Art Sherpa, Nooo! I mean, um, what're you doing here??? I mean.... Okay this is my FIRST time cheating on you with another art instructor, I promise!! It was the trees, man, I couldn't help myself.

[@jjp7914]

I would like to make these thorn trees to add a few thorn birds. Not sure how to get thorns to be prominent..any ideas?

[@susanedmiston5465]

I did paint the red oak tree and it turned out beautifully! I couldn't believe I painted it. Love that painting!

[@thankfulart]

[@michaelmahler4806]

I enjoyed this video, especially the use of non-traditional materials in the execution of the painting.

[@thankfulart]

+Michael Mahler Thanks so much!

[@fadisamman5546]

Thank you Angela🎖️🎖️🎄🎄🇦🇺

[@marystewart5555]

I enjoyed this video a great deal. I think it is going to be my next attempt at painting. I keep purchasing supplies for painting and then freak myself out and procrastinate starting the painting!

[@thankfulart]

+Mary Stewart LOL Nice thing about acrylics is you can always paint over any mistakes. :) Hope you do try it.

[@cyndeepayton8260]

Can't wait to do these!

[@thankfulart]

+Cyndee Payton So glad to hear that! :)

[@AlmutOlsson]

Your painting is fabulous, thanks for sharing!!!

[@thankfulart]

+Almut Olsson Thanks so much. Always nice to hear from you. :)

[@PatriciaSimmons]

Love your videos and these trees are great. I tend more towards bright color but b & w is awesome also.

[@thankfulart]

+Patricia Simmons me too. I am usually a color gal so this was different for me. :)

[@honeybwp1]

This was really nice I love black and white paintings I needed some ideas for making my own to decorate. Will try. Keep up the primo work

[@thankfulart]

+honeybwp1 Awesome! Thank you!

[@karenberger6160]

Love it!!!

[@hendgamaleldin4967]

Beautiful and simply explained for beginners. Thank you :)

[@squidjello6116]

I'm painting these for my room and they are gonna look so good

[@Abbymermaidplays]

I love this so much!! Thank you!! I've been having so much fun painting along with you lately! I can tell you are such a sweet and kind person and you truly help me in more ways than you know 💛💛

[@thankfulart]

+Stephie Cakes Thank you! I am so glad you are enjoying my videos. :)

[@marwayoussefworld]

Wow, So Simple & Looking Great, Thank You For The Fun & Awesome Tutorial Wishing You The Best.

[@gailgassen8670]

Love the look of these trees! Thank you for sharing... I really Loire the monochromatic color of these trees then the pop of color. You've used the teal color I'd love to use a bright pink or fuchsia for a grand-girls room! 😄

[@thankfulart]

+Gail Gassen Oh yes that would be awesome with pink! :)

[@tinasmith9740]

Finished both Paris paintings and now I am using my leftover paint for this. I am sure I will be painting this a few times, especially the blue my favorite, but the first one ended up Red since I have some left to use up. By the way, I switched to using your palette on the plates with ziplock bags instead of my made up wet palette. This is so much easier. I did write on the top plate this side up so I don't accidentily store them upside down. LOL Thanks for another great lesson.

[@thankfulart]

+Tina Smith That is a good idea! I am so glad you are painting these! :)

[@by_katrin]

Awesome! I'll try this! Perfect for my perler bead Project for background painting!! Thank you so much Angela! Yours truly Katrin from Switzerland

[@thankfulart]

+Atelier Kunstkreis nice to meet you! So glad you will be trying it! Thanks. :)

[@jehaltools9086]

Thank you for sharing, this class. You made my day

[@angelamaxwell59]

Love this Angela!👏🏾🎨👍🤗🌈

[@thankfulart]

+angela maxwell Thanks so much! :)

[@nanirobin]

I like these, they are simple easy to do. My buddy wants me to do something that includes a window. The idea being you are looking out her window and seeing the landscape or some item. If you could do something like that I would love it.

[@karinmoonhawk3720]

Beautiful Angela :D and love the fact that I started to think that this could be another one to try :D Off to part 2 now ;-) xoxox

[@thankfulart]

+Shadia Shawly :)

[@247mrb]

I love your page and projections and videos!!! So you load all your colors on your pallet first?

[@thankfulart]

+Remo Gunz Thank you. Yes I usually put out all the colors I will need and keep them damp by spraying with water.

[@kimmaier2195]

thank you so much from Germany. you teach so easy, i love it. big hug Helga

[@melissasmyly7676]

Love it! :)

[@thankfulart]

+Melissa Smyly Thank you!

[@SunshineLeclair]

lovely!!! did you put anything on the canvas before painting? like guesso?

[@thankfulart]

+Donna L no my canvas came pre-gessoed

[@AlexandrGray]

Thank you for the wonderful work! I wanted to know if I can put on my channel the process of creating a similar picture in this style?)

[@thankfulart]

Thank you! I appreciate your asking. As long as you are creating your own unique version it is fine but I would prefer not to have copies made on other channels. Hope you understand. :)

beautiful

[@ingerkaminska]

Thank you ;)

[@Cheryl64014]

Thank you for sharing a great tutorial! (Did you gesso your canvas first?)

[@thankfulart]

+Cheryl64014 I do not generally gesso my canvases because they come preprimed. But if you are buying discount canvas it can be helpful to give them an extra coat. Thanks so much for watching!

[@Cheryl64014]

No, I thank you. ;) You're a joy to watch! And thank you for the information on the better grade canvases being pre-primed! :)

[@dianaciobanu1686]

Super !

[@thankfulart]

+Diana ciobanu Thanks!

[@christellemontrichard6020]

I only have Liquitex Basics paints, is that going to work? What's the difference with fluid paints? Thanks!

[@thankfulart]

+Christelle Montrichard Yes they will work great. Fluid acrylics are similar in viscosity to craft paint but have more pigment. You can just add a little water to the basics paint to thin them a bit. Thanks!

[@christellemontrichard6020]

Thank you Angela!

[@alanr1062]

Brilliant

[@sherrynesbit5122]

What size brushes and sponges should I use if trying this on a 24 × 36, I'm using the pop of turquoise color.? This will be my first painting bigger than a 16 × 20. Doing this for a Christmas gift for my daughter. Should I use a pallet knife instead.?😅 (and it scares me) ? ?

[@thatsalligot2say]

Still trying to figure out where you use the fluid paints. I know it isn't a big deal but I tend to need to do what you say instead of guessing

[@d2dathird]

someone gave me some oils paints. and a couple of canvas boards. can i accomplish this beginner tree painting you have done. I would love to start here

[@thankfulart]

Awesome!

[@Ana-cb2wb]

Thanks for sharing, what Size is your canvas

[@ladenalebedow8665]

Hi. Is the sponge supposed to be wet? Thanks :)

[@VBukow]

What size/type brush did you use?

[@thankfulart]

+VBukow For the background I use a 1" Flat brush. It is Princeton Summit #12 Bright.

[@ranjeetapegu9015]

I will try this weekend.post u mine. thank you

[@shawiemirz3354]

Hi Ms. Anderson I would like to ask permission if I can use your work. Don't worry I will use this for educational purpose only. I will use this as my project in Contemporary Arts. Hope you'll agree 😊😊

[@ntakadzenimulaudzi6169]

beauty

[@thankfulart]

+Ntakadzeni Mulaudzi Thank you!

[@ntakadzenimulaudzi6169]

thank you I used pensils and a brush to do something using ur technique of darkening, it turned out not so bad,

[@jenniferlentz4856]

Is the sponge wet or dry?

[@Catarina1123]

I really like you art and I did some of your lesson with great success. I would like to know if you have nature with trees acrylic painting with texture Thanks

[@thankfulart]

+Catarina Stockl I don't have any textural paintings yet. But I plan on doing some palette knife tutorials soon. Thanks!

[@noureenmerchant1919]

What sponge is it that you are using here?

[@itsacindypainting]

part 2 is coming up as a private video

[@itsliew5617]

How if I use other sponge? Because I can't find sea sponge.

[@thankfulart]

+Alen Liew you can use a stiff brush instead (my red oak tree shows how) or a regular brush (my cherry tree shows that). Or you could try tearing up a regular sponge. Just anything with texture should work. Good luck!

[@KenHess_1]

I like that you talk and instruct. So tired of watching people do time lapse or silent art videos. ?There's no value in them.

[@aliouatiq16]

? j'aime bien ce que vous faites .et merci pour le partage. Est ce que je peux suggérer des cours d'initiation à l'aquarelle

[@WilliamSmith-vb6my]

why not a painters knife rather than the card? just curious... beautiful painting! should have waited til the end before commenting lol

[@christel2521]

So i love this painting but i really feel like not enough time was given to how to get the background - mine just came out looking like gray blobs :/ some tips on how to get that almost fluffy look would have been great... giving up on this one for now

[@thankfulart]

+Velsetta Manzetti sorry to hear that. It sounds like you might be using too much paint in your sponge. Do them with light layers and leave some background color showing through. Hope that helps. I have an older tutorial (Easy Impressionist Trees) that goes into more detail. It might help also.

[@Velsetta]

+Angela Anderson I'm sorry I'm really confused now, I'm supposed to be using a sponge for the background? You're using a paintbrush in the video

[@thankfulart]

+Velsetta Sorry I thought you were talking about the background trees. You might try watching my eiffel tower video. I do the background in it the same way. Maybe I explained it better in that one.

[@aah1859]

Love the video I tried it but mine looks so bad😂

[@steveleeart]

Now do this with a brush.
