This is very neat! I have to replicate a painting for a school project and I want to to be good so I’m doing some research. Though it does take lots of practice. Thanks

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you :-))) Yes, painting is a skill that requires a lot of practice, experience AND patience...but it still is a skill that can be learned, like any other craft (from the technical side of things - to go beyond you need to have ideas, phantasy and the will to try and fail sometimes miserably ;-)))

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you Crisalida :-))) People complain sometimes that I do too many different things on my channel but I think there is sooo much variety in topics one can paint that it would be a shame if I would not try to venture in all kinds of directions. Although I have to admit that I very often come back to cloud and water topics...these are my favourite topics to paint and the people also seem to prefer these topics ;-)))

[@hasnainhasnain6883]

Brilliant 😍! What paint are you using?

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you :-) I use water mixable oil colour solely thinned down with linseed oil. Links to the materials I have in the description box of the video on KZbin.

[@hasnainhasnain6883]

@@brennerfineart thank you so much for your response can you please tell me where you selling your paintings? And which one is best acrylic painting or oil painting? ( Sorry for grammer mistakes ) 😭

[@brennerfineart]

@@hasnainhasnain6883 I sell them via my website www.brennerfineart.com I only paint with oils..way!!! better than acrylics IMO

[@emmanuelnwobodo145]

U're a master in the art... please tell me what materials do I need to start painting?

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you! At the beginning you should practice to draw A LOT. And then you can sprincle in some colour mixing practice (cut out some colour our of a journal and try to mix it as best as possible). Then you can try simple compositions and practice shape and colour on these smaller and simpler paintings. I would recommend you to start with oil paint...if you are serious and need the time to blend you will not make it with acrylics, oils are far easier to work with.

[@johngrisoni772]

What was the color mix of that first puddle of paint that you applied ?

[@brennerfineart]

The blue one? Been a long time....Not really sure but as I use the same 7 colours for all paintings I would say this is a mixture of Titanium White, Phthalo Blue, Cadmium Red, Raw Sienna and perhaps a hint of Lamp Black

[@jarekpokorney4023]

Is this all wet on wet?

[@brennerfineart]

No, I layered the greens and the water part of this painting

[@Esthermyrrh]

What brand/number is the one for the white water lines?

[@brennerfineart]

These was a set of cheap ebay brushes from China bought here in Germany...the set is currently not available apparantly...size 0 to 4/0...but any other soft round brush of that size will do the job as well

[@etoile6230]

I like his voice.

[@brennerfineart]

Thank you :-)))

[@hinakhabalooch]

Beautiful as usual kindly tell me which blue colour you are using thanks

[@brennerfineart]

Hi Hina, I used Phtalo blue, titanium white, lamp black and Cadmium red medium for this greyish blue tone. AND good news for you - The clear water wave painting that we were talking about a while ago is FINALLY finished and the video showing how to paint clear wave water will be coming next Sunday :-))) Hope you will like it :-)))

What color are you using?

[@brennerfineart]

I`m using here Winsor&Newton water mixable oil colours (link you will find in the description box of the video). I am bascially using my "standart palette" consisting of titanium white, lemon yellow, cadmium red, raw sienna, phthalo blue, dioxazine purple and lamp black. I mix e.g. all the greens just with lemon yellow and phthalo blue adding more colours when I need a warmer/colder/lighter/darker green tone.

[@jubileej1629]

Interesting accent Where are you from?

[@brennerfineart]

I come from Germany

[@مقاطعمضحكة-ج1ث]

Please my teacher please I want to ask if I can paint the same of your painting and sell it to the people is there any problem?? maybe some one tell me it's not my painting it's yours some thing like this .that time I must learn to paint my own painting.. please if you can just explain it for me

[@brennerfineart]

To be honest - I am not a fan of people copying my work and selling it as their own work. Or would you like me to copy YOUR work and sell it? Come up with ideas of your own...practice hard...and then sell those paintings - this is much more rewarding because you sell not just a copy of someone else, you sell a part of yourself, a part of your imagination - MUCH better :-))))

[@jecacava8823]

your camera is playing weird tricks with the colors. I thought as closer the objects are the darker they should get but the water never changed...🤔

[@brennerfineart]

The water is simply just reflecting what we have in the sky - and as we have a pretty cloudy sky I need to reflect this into the water. There is no rule that water gets automatically darker the closer you get to the foreground. The objects, trees, people etc. THEY will have more contrast...less of the colour of the sky in the shadow areas - do not mess this up :-)

[@jecacava8823]

i don't know what you meant by "not messing this up" I'm not the one painting but whatever, lots of people can't stand comments on their videos so. if you're one of them let me tell you, KZbin still survive if you stop posting so, feel free to.

[@brennerfineart]

@@jecacava8823 I meant that you should not get it wrong when you paint water! Water is not per se darker the closer you step towards the viewer - that was my point. To me it sounded like you would paint - therefore I just tried you tell you how its done right. And - I have NEVER ever deleted any comment on any of my videos. And I will never do so except for obvious spamming, trying to lure people into clicking on a dangerous link. But any other comment is welcome! I have nothing to hide :-)
