[@EricSareyka]

Excellent work with helpful explanations results always in positive feedbacks. But it's a great pity that you haven't enough time to publish more of these tutorials on KZbin ;) This "Silent Night" is one of the most impressive winter landscapes in the last two years. Awesome! And thank you.

[@MazArtStudio]

wow thank you Eric I appreciate that.

[@juliejohnson9206]

Hi Mas! IM looking hard for your portrait videos, when will you post at least one cant wait to see

[@aleksandravasic4748]

+MazArtStudio It is very, very, very niiiiiceeeeeee

[@arjetandrejaj6246]

+MazArtStudio Well is not a surprise!!

[@walterpaquette7613]

I've been painting with acrylics for about 3 years and tried "Silent Night". I am 75 years old and find this a relaxing hobby. I love your lessons and find them easy to follow on KZbin. My family is overwhelmed with how well my painting came out. Thank you for your time and efforts.

[@leerice687]

Well Walter, I too am 75. I never had time to paint. I admired paintings and had a dream that someday, I too would be able to paint. It is because of so many great artists who are willing to share their talents with us. I look at the paintings I have done and cannot believe I painted them. My acceptance of my talent is slow coming. MAZ YOU ARE THE BEST. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

[@narcsisus]

Hi grandpa you are now 77 right? I’m 17 lol

[@patty8232]

Was my first in 20 yrs and Marion makes it so easy just found the one from 2016 adding the lights on the tree. I have to paint a new one because I gave the painting to my then sick brother in law in a nursing home. I thought I did a good job painting it and was very proud of it. Seems I wasn't alone as it was stolen from his room. Someone actually took it so am going to paint another one and love the lights. Thank you Marion you are such a beautiful artist and teacher.

[@arualsetnom2605]

No doubt you're a great teacher. So much to learn from you. All I have to say is THANK YOU, GRACIAS.

[@2430snow]

Hi Marion, I just want to thank you for your step by step lesson. I am not new to painting but new to oil painting. I am just so happy with my first (Silent Night) I actually cried as I was so surprised how well it came out. I am forever doubting my self. Thank you again for sharing your wealth of experience.

[@kassuere]

I just spent 1.05.54 of my life watching pure talent at work...really inspiring. I learned a lot from watching this video. Thank you for sharing.

[@lilchitty]

First, I want to say thank you for all that you do for people who thought they could never paint. You are a blessing. Second, How can I show you the work that I have done using your tutorials as a guide. Three, You are an amazing teacher.

[@MazArtStudio]

Hi Lillian good to hear from you - you can show any of the tutorials you have done from me - but as all artist vary in their approach it is always best to ask. It is good manners to put "in the style ....the artist concerned" or "after.....the artist name concerned" - I dont object to you displaying, selling etc any of the artwork you have done with me - good luck

[@kellycoleman1122]

Thank you for a wonderful tutorial. I am a blind artist and love how when you teach you actually describe what you were doing and what colors you were using. I can't watch the time lapse videos because they are completely inaccessible. I enjoy an artist who actually teaches. Your paintings are lovely.

[@MazArtStudio]

Kelly Coleman thank you for the comments and I'm so pleased you are finding the tutorials helpful. You have my utmost respect and admiration for following your art. Good luck and god bless. X.

[@Artist_Crafter]

Hello. Could you please include the captions since I am hard of hearing. Thank you.

[@MazArtStudio]

Hi Joyce, if you are just doing one painting add about a teaspoon of oil to about a teaspoon of white paint, and mix together, you are looking for the consistency of cream. Hope that helps Maz x

[@StarryHilder]

I just got done this evening following your tutorial! I cant believe it..my painting actually looks pretty!! Thanks for taking the time to go thru this step by step. The only thing I would ask is if you do more it would be helpful to get a straight on view o f your painting as you do it. Often the view from the side was a little hard to see and I need all the help I can get! But still very very beautiful..your a real talent. Thank you and God Bless

[@patriciaward7090]

What a talented, generous lady you are to share all your wonderful knowledge and tips with us! Really enjoy watching your videos. Patsy

[@nayanparekh4145]

I love the way you painted the night sky with the moon and the stars. Thanks for the video.

[@MrKrenath]

Every few months I find myself returning to your initial videos and recapturing the charm of them. :) Thank you for doing them, Marion. :)

[@MazArtStudio]

you are welcome hun :-)

[@louabbondanzio2115]

What a wonderful teacher, love your work. Lou, from North Carolina USA

[@lisacase2327]

I really enjoy Marion's step by step tutorials. THEY'RE GREAT!!

[@mkzappe]

Beautiful!!! Thank you so much for posting these tutorials. I live in the US, and I don't have access to any traditional classes where I live.... so watching videos is my only source of learning this wonderful style of painting. Thank you for your generosity... you've enriched my life.

[@juliefdean1596]

I love painting along with your videos. you are an amazing teacher. I love how you show how to use the brushes. I cant wait for more videos

[@gloriagosen7923]

Thank you. I was able to do my first oil painting. I am so proud you could tell what it is. You are an excellent teacher.

[@deewilliams3903]

So gorgeous I'm glad I found you today I haven't painted since 1984 just started back pain so this is kind of exciting to see your pains thank you for sharing with us / Dee in Texas.

[@dokshadomogh3832]

hello greatest MAZ,,, actually ,, all my words will stop in front of your greatness ,n your way of let me involve in painting ,, because of your way of explaining ,, how you do the paint ,, I don,t find a word not like the people use to thank you ,,, but I found myself in need to another language no one knows on earth to thank you .. like a language of ANGLES THANK YOU SO,,,SO MUCH,, you are my teacher who taught me how to love to draw,,,,,MAG

[@rosemello1554]

I havent painted much with oils ,but ready to try again,Iearnt a lot from your video,you make it look easy.Thank you.Rose

[@imaneelfadili9801]

Hey Maz, this painting is obsolutly incredible. I had painted it this evening. It was such an enjoyable and calming experience. I've learned a lot from your techniques which really helped me with my other paintings. Thank you so much xx 😊

[@alitlcrzyart]

I love this tutorial. I don't have oils and only acrylics but I am giving this a try anyway.

[@andysgirl8800]

An absolutely AMAZING tutorial! You are so patient and thorough with your instructions and techniques. I have never worked with oils before, but recently received a gift set. I was looking for some beginner project to try, and initially thought this one was WAY out of my league! After watching your tutorial through and through at least 6 times, I mustered up the courage to give it a go. Couldn't believe the final results! When my husband came home, he asked where I had bought the painting! I will be attempting more of your beautiful pieces in the future. I was looking all over KZbin for an autumn tutorial near as good as yours and have thus far been disappointed! Thank you so much for your generosity in time and spirit in sharing your art with the rest of us!

[@brandenacey4714]

Thank you i cannot believe how much i have learned from you in one painting, i have only been painting a couple of months but you have helped me realise why a lot of my stuff looks like theres something just not right, now i know why

[@MazArtStudio]

+branden acey so pleased you enjoyed it

[@imbest-bx7vg]

I love this painting. I have never done a painting before in my life and I am also very pleased with the way mine came out. You are a very good teacher. I look forward to your other videos.

[@daviddicks6869]

Hi Maz Great teaching! Clear voice, logical order and explanations. A great help for a novice like myself. Thanks for sharing this.

[@farrwater]

Thanks for the response Marion, I have showed the painting to several people and they love it . Thanks to you for the great teaching lesson. You are so easy to follow and you explain things so well. I appreciate it soooo much. Wish I lived closer to you, i would definitely take classes with you .I have seen some of your students paintings and they are awesome. I watch your videos over and over, love your style. Thanks again :) And I love your accent, sounds beautiful. Elaine

[@TheJessicaB83]

I must say I stumbled across your video since I got a lot of paints for Christmas and wanted to learn more about oil painting and using mediums. I thoroughly enjoyed your video and painted the best painting so far in my lifetime. My mom told me it reminded her of Thomas Kinkade with how the light hits the tree and snow :) Thank you for posting your video, and I look forward to watching and painting some more :)

[@susieq1731]

Thank you so much for taking time when creating this video and not moving so quickly. Learned some great tips and loved the "finger painting" of the moon.

[@stevemario98]

You are a prefect teacher in your explanation of your painting thanks!

[@reethapaul5026]

A Beautiful painting.thoroughly enjoyed to watch you working graciously.all the blessing.stay well. With love A granny

[@alanclark4951]

Terrific step by step, I am a new painter and I really enjoyed this lesson, especially painting the trees! Very inspiring!!

[@YeatmanArt13]

Maz you are wonderful! Iwant to watch all your full lessons and paint them for my daughters new house!

[@MrKrenath]

You are a magical person, lass. --Ben

[@matinaspk]

simply beautiful demonstration of art work

[@hglatGAIA]

I could have sworn I left a note on this video but it's not showing here. I adored this whole painting, due to the coloring and the theme being right up my street. I loved it particularly at the end, when you dotted the stars and you looked so enchanted that you had made them shine and sparkle so brightly. THIS made my day. I am posting on my FB wall as I will go back to it probably again and again and when my paints arrive I shall try it too. Just love this. I wish you would also paint the ocean. I would love to see how you do a tropical ocean...even though I know you are in the North of the UK judging by your accent. I come from Berkshire but live in the US now. Anyhow Maz, you must do more real time beautiful landscapes...and more animals like leopards. I'd love to follow what you do xx Many heart felt thanks.

[@evhwolfgang2003]

This is an absolute joy to watch. All of the wet on wet painting videos I've seen are speed paintings only 20 minutes long, so we viewers never get to see how this technique can be worked with patience to make beautiful effects. Subscribed and liked :)

[@MaireTreasa]

I'm working on a piece right now but the minute I finish, I'm coming back to do this tutorial. I love this!!!

[@conniethompson6702]

I loved the twinkling stars, a beautiful painting.

[@rahulchauhan5341]

you are the best teacher i have ever seen

[@crossroads4553]

I love this painting. I can't wait to try it. I have heard of using oil to thin paints instead of thinner but it is the first time I have seen someone do it. My teacher uses thinner. I like the oil so much better! I have only been painting since June so I look forward to the challenge of this one!! Have a wonderful Christmas!!

[@patlawrence9879]

Maz is a joy to watch. And easy to follow and learn from. Thank you maz. . Pat Lawrence

[@deannaallen5195]

Marion Marion my dear lady I am thinking I need to add u to my bucket list. I would LOVE to jump over the pond to get in on a few of ur classes.

[@MazArtStudio]

that would be awesome! We have already had a visitor from Texas. I am teaching in Knoxville TN April 2018 (albeit the course is fully booked) but I do hope I will be invited back to teach possibly October :-)

[@deannaallen5195]

I am really glad you enjoyed it.

[@itmatters107]

Thank you or taking your time to show how to make this painting it's lovely.

[@darthpunk1801]

Awesome painting...I've just started painting with acrylic paints,as I used to use spray paint..with similar effects,but it drys to quickly,can't manipulate the paint enough,so I've moved on to acrylic ...thanks for taking the time to make this tutorial as I learnt quite a bit...cheers from Australia :)

[@rashmivishwanath23]

This is awesome...your so much inspiration to others. I will try this painting. Thanks for sharing this.

[@sharoncullen4092]

This class is terrific. Thank you so much. I am new to oils and very intimidated by them. Although I am using WMO's because I get terrible headaches with regular ones.I have had trouble finding someone who tells us the little details like if the paint doesn't transfer onto trees we need moore oil to thin it! I didn't know this. Acrylics are so different, and I am a watercolorist!!!

[@MarlenusofAR]

if you are working in oils, the golden rule is that if you have a thicker paint already on the canvas, a paint will stick to it if you thin it first. thinner paints stick to heavier paints. if you thin a 2nd paint just a little, you can thin a 3rd paint a little more to stick to the 2nd one...etc. hope that helps...

[@sharoncullen4092]

Thank you. I appreciate the info.

[@Aztec03]

MarlenusofAR But... that isn't true... according to my art instructor. He says you do it the opposite, the thick paint over the thin. He says it's cuz the thin paint will dry first, and if it's over the thicker stuff, it'll pull it as it dries and shrinks... causing a crack. Even this page says so: www.winsornewton.com/uk/discover/tips-and-techniques/oil-colour/understanding-oil-painting-rules I'm only pointing this out because I lost my first few oils to cracking before I took a class. Paintings I really liked too!

[@MarlenusofAR]

Sharon Cullen Ok, let me clarify. Working in oils, not acrylics, in the wet on wet technique you start by painting things in the background, then move forward. As you move forward, you are putting wet paint on wet paint. But, many times, you dont want that paint to blend in, you just want it to stick to the thicker paint. So, you thin the 2nd layer of paint by adding magic white, linseed oil, paint thinner or other mediums. Example. You paint in the dark of a tree, then thin the green and put the leaves on, then thin highlight to the leaves and put that over the green. IF YOU TRY to put a heavier highlight to the green, then its simply not going to stick to the paint. Remember, this is wet on wet, not something that has already dried. Thinner paint sticks to heavier paint. Wet on wet allows for the smooth blending of colors and allows a person to paint in one sitting, and for me, an average of one hr. That is not to say that every paint has to be blended in, some are simply put on top of others for their own distinct purpose. But, you can combine them in many different ways. Lay down a blue for the sky, then a white for the clouds and blend in the reds and grays. You get the idea. By the way, I have a painting I painted 40 years ago and it has NO signs of aging or cracking. That's because I finished it with a coating of finishier and it looks as good as the day I painted it...:)

[@eugeniaveronicabustamantet1458]
