I would like to see a planet Earth painting

[@DVNGhostNBUNNy]

Thank you so much for you inspiration and generosity and sharing such beauty and teaching so much amazing inspiration and techniques and art!!! This is definitely my new favorite!!! Thank you Felix!

[@marciabee]

@@ColorByFeliks This is indeed a masterclass! You're so talented!

[@carolburkett7018]

Love your landscaping

[@jolenemiller1]

I love all your tutorials. I've never seen someone use acrylics with water the way you do. You are the Bob Ross of acrylics! Your voice is very calm and soothing and your paintings are stunning!

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you so much for your kind words and support! It means a lot 🙌

[@rudralunker]

I found your recent work- 'Renewed Roots' the most fascinating. It was good to see how you creatively used your old paintings to create a new one. Also, I would like to see more videos on compositional paintings of daily life scenes such as marketplaces, busy streets, etc.

[@thehunters9185]

My favorite tutorial is whatever I’m watching at the moment! Honestly, I learn something new with every tutorial. Thank you! I can never get enough of your trees, but I’d love new ocean lessons too.

[@rebeccahyatt7789]

The very start of your video, I learned a tip about putting a bit of water on the front of the canvas to tighten it a bit. I do that to the back of stretched canvasses but had not thought of doing the front of a panel. I love the mushroom forest painting. It reminds me of a magical place, where everything is ok with the world, no stresses to deal with. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@danapeslari9010]

Very beautiful and the colorwater ..amazing

[@jamielandis4606]

Me too!

[@TheResinersPourHouse]

My favorite is the River Forest. Love to see all you do. Water, snow, ocean scenes.

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you for your support!😊

[@Anna-dv3st]

My favorite is the Cherry Blossom lesson, and I would love to see more flowers and nature-themed art. I love all your art work!!!

[@katherinedeck9558]

My favorite is misty forest. I’ve painted it multiple times and love how each time comes out different. I learn something new it seems every time I watch it

[@shawnshaw3538]

I really liked the Tuscan landscape about a year ago. It reminded me of the trip my husband & I took back in the 90’s. Keep up your amazing work…so talented!!

[@Shaza_Saif]

1 the mushroom painting is soooo beautiful... i have started to paint it but havent finished it 2 ofcourse more detailed tutorials like this

[@AlamPainting]

Wow cara melukis yang menakjubkan, lukisan anda sangat indah anda pelukis yang hebat 👍👍👍

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you!

[@andreaevans5484]

It is hard to just choose one. I really enjoyed the sea turtle lesson. I love watching the longer detailed videos. I feel I learn a lot from them . I’d love to learn more about sea scapes, but anything you teach is appreciated and beautiful. Thank you! 🎨

[@Joanne55R]

Love your tutorials! My favorite is the winter scene with the train coming around the bend with smoke billowing out of the engine stack. A challenge to paint but so happy how it turned out thanks to your instructions!

[@DenaRushton]

I have been following, and doing your tutorials for several years now. The things I have learned from you have made me into a professional artist. I cannot pick a favorite, because I have learned from all of them. Thank you for what you do Feliks. You have been a blessing to me.

[@theadventuresofjinglesandt1515]

This one is my favorite! Love the mystery of the forest. I'd like to see more mountains with pintrees and rivers.

[@lisaromeo1221]

This is just gorgeous!! Can’t wait to try it! My favorite so far, not including this one yet, was the wintery train. Loved the colors used made it so vibrant!! Loved painting it!

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you! Hope you enjoy it! 😃

[@katbattt]

The bokeh on the mushroom painting a few weeks ago was one of my favourites for sure. I love forest painting so much! 🌲

[@1coma21gigovatios]

You're an Angel!!! Thanks for all your time and Art. God bless my friend.🥰

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you! 🙏

[@CL.FantasyWaves]

My favorite painting of yours remains the one that convinced me to subscribe to your channel, the green dragon tutorial. Please continue to do fantasy pieces. Thank you for such peaceful videos.

[@JSwerve77]

I’ve benefited from every tutorial’s process of painting a background (sky gradients, clouds, etc). My favorite is Foggy Birch Trees. I’ve typically been good at foreground, but these make painting backgrounds so much more dynamic! I would like to see more smaller canvas, short-form videos (

[@wendybrooks3142]

Sitting in my summer house in South Devon enjoying watching the painting. John in the UK

[@tamarafishka]

Спасибо за урок, Феликс! Лес получился волшебный!

[@guadalupemayasolorio9453]

Hi! My favorite one is the River Forest tutorial! It’s absolutely beautiful and incredibly moving. It is so calming, mystical, mysterious yet familiar and comforting. I really appreciate the step by step tutorial with all your tips and teachings! You are absolutely beyond talented and inspiring. Thank you for sharing your art and passion with us and your tips which are vital for beginners like myself. I’d like to also see more open fields or valleys with clouds and wildflowers. More step by step tutorials as well please! Thanks again for teaching us all valuable lessons and creating a peaceful space for so many of us. ❤

[@mahimajp934]

My favorite lesson is the fireworks painting. How fabulous was it to just watch! You break down the steps and simplify it so everyone could attempt painting such masterpieces. I'd love to see some countryside paintings with farmer/ farm animals/ farming scenes.

[@jamielandis4606]

I learned a lot from your tutorial. Thank you! Beautiful piece btw!

[@Jamie2785]

It’s hard to choose a favorite but one of my all time favorites had to be the sailboat. I struggle with structures but this one felt so fluid for me. I would love to see you paint more desert landscape paintings.

[@hummingbirdinSoCal]

Huge congratulations on 1 million!!!🥳🥳 My favorite tutorial of yours is the one with butterflies on the pretty purple flowers. Mine came out fairly different, only one butterfly and my purple flowers are milk thistle which is very common in my area. I've tried several of your tutorials and love them all, but that is probably my favorite! 💛 Thank you again for sharing your talent and congratulations again!

[@Tabasom9]

My favourite to date had been the Ocean Sunset video. I bought your entire set of brushes and can't imagine life without them! They're of wonderful quality and make blending so much easier. I'd love to see more ocean sceneries in future videos, and thank you for being so inspiring!

[@sandylcarlson]

Congratulations on closing in on 1 Million Viewers! While I love all of your paintings….my favorite painting/lesson is from 5 years ago: Waterfall Cave (Japan’s Kameiwa Cave). It is so beautiful! You are an excellent teacher. Your instructions are so clear and you show ALL of the steps (many don’t). I love the forest, water , sky, clouds…all the nature paintings! Thank you for sharing so many of your lessons for free.

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you so much!

[@ayeshanoor7693]

Ah the application of colours was too satisfying, the blending of colours was super smooth, the details of trees was just so fine, the running river between the trees was so realistic ❤in short it was a beautiful and masterpiece..... I enjoyed till end the video and learned so many good techniques and tricks from you , at last I just want to say it was incredible as always, your brushes thier application was to satisfying and we appreciated your amazing effort that you made for us ,we learned a lot thank you so much stay connected ❤

[@shawnshaw3538]

Wow…that may be one of my favorites now!!! 👏🏼

[@preethaarun9697]

Wow wonderful painting and also happy to get another great session.would definitely try.thank you

[@ayeshanoor7693]

Just incredible the whole painting is my favourite

[@edytaforys412]

Feliks ! To piękny obraz, piękne światło , piękne kolory !Gratuluje i pozdrawiam serdecznie !!!😊❤❤❤😊❤❤❤😊

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed this one! 😃🎨

[@aliefangie]

My favorite tutorial has been the cloud tutorials. Super helpful ☁️ I would like to see more ocean & waves with pastel sunsets

[@rebeccahyatt7789]

Absolutely gorgeous. Love the skills I learned from watching this. Lots of tips especially about paint mixing and glazing. Love the finished painting. God bless you as well. Thank you.

[@ColorByFeliks]

I'm glad to hear you found value and learned a lot from my painting videos. Thanks for your kind words and support!🙌

[@ylleku]

I love colorful flovers painting, its so mysterious. And the blending backgrounds. And everything :).

[@MONGOOSE1ful]

Mr. Feliks, this particular art/acrylic painting in this tutorial is artistically impressive! I have been watching your tutorials since 2019, and I am heavily inspired by your Acrylic mastery! your tutorials do not go wasted, and I will adopt your measures while working on my Acrylics, and i most certainly will adopt and use your techniques from one artist to another-Thank You for your artistic creativity!

[@gessica1961]

My favorite is an oldie but a goodie. I love the cloud demonstration from years ago. I actually used that demo to create a piece

[@jeanniebair4103]

This is the best lesson and tutorial you have done! Wonderful!

[@Thebosscwaight100]

Beautiful and awesome job ❤🎉🎉

[@kellywhite926]

The Starry Sky collaboration with Jane Font was when I started watching, but my favorite tutorial is Colorful Garden. I love when you post shorter videos because it encourages me to try out the tutorial. Sometimes 3 hours can be intimidating. Keep up the wonderful work!

[@ColorByFeliks]

Hello! I'm happy to hear that you found shorter videos to be valuable. It's all about making art approachable and fun. Thanks for your encouragement and for being a part of the journey!

[@itsacoreething]

I have been loving all the techniques you show, especially the blending. I am new to acrylic painting beyond simple application, so I thoroughly enjoy the way you show dry brush vs wet brush application, the different types of brushes and what they can do, and your calm voice adds to the learning experience, it makes me maintain a calm, even when I feel I’m not doing as well as I’d like to be doing. I would love to see more of the variety of brushes, pens, and tools that you use. Especially for sealing different types of creations. ❤

[@rondaeldridge6980]

Your tutorials got me started during the pandemic and I am still learning and still painting!! My favorite was the train lesson because it was the only painting I did that my father (who lived with us) ever asked to keep for himself. He passed away at age 97 but the picture still hangs in his old bedroom. It reminded him of the old black smoke engines that used to pass his home as a child during the Great Depression.

[@PeggyMcAloon]

Anywhere I can find water and forests, I am at my happiest. That makes this video class high on my list of favorites. I tend to gravitate to scenes of oceans, rivers, and lakes and would love to see more!

[@DebbieOrd]

My favourite was the sunflower field. It was the first one I have done that had so much detail. I learnt so much from the process

[@arunathakur5411]

Thankyou for giving all these valuable content for free....you are extraordinary teacher....... your grateful student 🙏 ❤

[@ColorByFeliks]

You’re very welcome, thank you for your support!

[@beverlymarcoline5569]

The first painting of yours I attempted was “Red Poppies.” While I’ve learned so much having done several of your tutorials in the past 3 years, this one remains my favorite. It was because of your calm patience, emphasis on details, and your unassuming mentorship, I realized I could, and really wanted to paint! I seem to be attracted to painting animals lately , and as I prepare to paint the White Tiger, I’m hoping you will consider painting more animals in the wild. Thanks for all you do for us!

[@daisygirl6793]

My favorite that I have tried painting was the tulip flower. That was so much fun painting. It’s hanging up in my living room where it receives the best compliments. I’d like to see more water painting tutorials in the future. Thanks for bringing your inspiration to us all!

[@bluchio]

i agree w the comments my heart dropped when you started cutting them all i wasn’t sure how the result would look but it actually looks amazing and must go for a lottttttttt

[@Msfeathers7]

Wish I could paint like you. Wonderful work. My favorite is you painting sea water and the sun setting. The golden colors were beautiful! I like to see foggy rainy day paintings.

[@EmmaLodge-q9g]

My favourite tutorial is "Sunset Over Ocean with Dock", I absolutely love this one. It has to be hands down my favourite. Love all the blending and colours in it. I would love to see more animals and rain scenes. Love your work!

[@patriciamurphy2838]

I'm honestly new to this site, but I must say I absolutely love that you show and explain mixing the paints and your explanations of what is being done and why is fantastic. Fantastic. I really get more out of your tutorials than I do others.

[@octaviousjones7985]

1. My favorite tutorial you’ve done is Snowy Train. I actually tried it myself for practice and…Yeah… a lot harder than it looks 😂. 2. What I’d like to see more of on you channel in the future is maybe some fall paintings. Like a pumpkin patch or maybe a scarecrow in a cornfield. I sure you could make some beautiful scenes out of such ideas.

[@acacianeal]

My favorite video lesson would be the mushroom forest one. Absolutely loved it. I plan on painting one like it very soon. I would like to see more nature paintings in the future also maybe some paintings of just the sky? Like blue skies with white clouds? I struggle with clouds so much and I wanna try doing more simple but realistic ones. ❤

[@joeblow8846]

Understand the pain I struggle with clouds too and the way he makes it look so easy is a little discouraging to say the least

[@Innocent_girl7-x7b]

Wow❤❤❤ I must say, its so nice.... ☺️🤠

[@chadmensa]

I haven't watched any of the stream yet, but I just stopped to say that you nailed it with that painting. Beautiful!

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you! 🙏

[@siddhantkumar7959]

Always inspired by your work @Feliks! You are the reason we were able to make it through the pandemic duration with our new found love for art. I would love to see more relative paintings of scenes from National parks around the globe. A great tool to help us capture memories with art.

[@soarah]

My favorite tutorial would be the Waterfall Island cause it reminds me of Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. I would like to see more pieces like that!

[@amymaddieful]

1. This river forest is my favorite tutorial you have. Blues are my favorite colours and they ar complimented so naturally with the green tones. I’m a mountain, forest, river lover. Growing up in Alberta we have so much landscape that looks like this and it’s incredibly calming. 2. Would love to see more tutorials on how to paint things such as fog and rays of light. It looks easy enough but when you actually go to put it into practise I find I struggle with it. I’ve been a follower of yours since the beginning and have also enjoyed watching your family grow and your move down to warmer climates.

[@Kirstycolourandsketch]

An oldie but a goldie my favourite lesson was how to paint fireworks, i followed along with that one recently. I would love to see you paint more animals ❤❤

[@DeborahJ46]

I watch your videos all the time and am fascinated with your style of painting and mixing colours. I particularly really enjoyed the tutorial for misty river. I am partial to monochromatic paintings and limited colour usage. I continue to watch your videos most days. Thank you for sharing your skill and demystifying the painting process for beginners

[@maureenkelly3735]

The thing I've found the most helpful is your blending technique. It was the first video that i saw of yours and led me to signing up for your mentorship program. I really love your style and cannot think of anything specifically I'd like to see except if you have done more abstract landscape work. It is something I've been considering trying to explore but haven't a clue how to paint that way.

[@Usha-q7i]

I love your tutorial on cherry blossoms from a few years ago the best! I’ve painted it three times for my brother and sister and myself. I love the vibrant colors. I hope you will do roses in a future tutorial. I love each and every one of your tutorials. My favorites are the landscapes with trees. Thank you Feliks for your generous spirit that comes through in your voice and teachings.

[@leslieannewood6304]

I really like this painting, River Forest. I prefer landscapes and this one stretches me. I learn a lot of subtle techniques as I watch.

[@ColorByFeliks]

I'm happy to know that it has been a source of inspiration and learning for your own artistic journey. Thanks for watching and for your encouraging feedback!

[@LBSC_Railway_Production]

My Favorite painting is that mushroom painting that you did. I would love if you painted more cabins and mountains. Would love you to paint a Alaskan landscape. Well done on this painting as well. God bless you

[@tameraa1299]

I like how when you put the shadows in and everything comes to life and looks so real.

[@melodyparsons4590]

I absolutely LOVE this painting!!!

[@gerivassar4088]

I loved the magical forest, I love to read fantasy and this took me away while painting it. I would love to see more ethereal paintings.

[@LindaSalas-x5o]

I love the way you blend your colors your technic is amazing, from painting fog, to painting a beautiful sunburst. Love it.

[@LindaSalas-x5o]

So very delicate, the way you layer in your colors, so soft.

[@ColorByFeliks]

@@LindaSalas-x5o Thank you for your kind words and support! 🙌

[@Amanda.0317]

I made a new account and didnt realize i wasnt following you! You were one of my biggest inspirations for acrylic painting back in like 2018! I was always in awe of your work. Thanks for being here so many years making beautiful art

[@carlahudson2188]

My favorite one is this one. It's beautiful.

[@deblesava5006]

Congrats! Love the flower lesson. TY for the lesson!

[@autobodygal]

CONGRATULATIONS ON 1 MILLION SUBS! My favorite lesson was the Cave with the light beams. It was back in the beginning of my painting journey. I would like to see some shorter lessons available. I love the longer lessons, but I am not able to paint as much as I would like. Having a shorter lesson available gives a larger selection on time needed.

[@CharityMyint]

i love the wild flowers painting. thank you for sharing the painting tips.

[@paintwithhillary7346]

I think this is my favorite lesson so far and I would like to see more like this one.

[@ericduchesneau744]

I loved the "water reflection " and "car on the rainy road" and I'd love to see something with big waves and the beach

[@ericduchesneau744]

And of course I love "Crisp morning" in my living room

[@ObiMomKenobi13]

It is hard to choose a favorite! If I must, I choose Still Water Reflection. ❤

[@green_daith]

I've been painting listening to your videos for 2 years now,but my favourite must be the fantasy ones in general,the one that had a path leading into the sun accompanied by clouds. What I'd love to see more is different water,as I'm not too good at it yet,eved tho you paint water a lot,I still need more to learn about it!😻

[@UnitedMandrakes]

Appreciate that you do upload these helpful videos outside of the paywall. I'm just starting out and these are making such a difference that once I get these down Ill sign up. Really appreciate all the work you do and the talent you have.

[@ColorByFeliks]

My pleasure! Thank you for your support, I hope you’ll enjoy following along 🙌🎨

[@Bonnierthanyou]

The first one I ever saw you brought the sky to life like I've never seen before in a painting. Come to find out, you do that EVERY time!!!! 😱🤯 But I was extremely impressed and obsessed from the get go! What I would like to see is underwater scenes. I have only seen you, to date, on Facebook. I don't know why I didn't come find you here, but now that I have..... 🎉 Thank you for sharing your skill in art with the world!

[@ericduchesneau744]

My favorite is the one I have on my wall: "Crisp morning". I'd love to see big waves.

[@DBd-vd7km]

My favorite painting is all of them 😁 but really I love the twisted forest .. I would like to see more animals incorporated in your paintings 🙉🦊🐸🦒🐾🐍🐳 keep em coming !!!

[@erikawiitala8721]

I love your tutorials. The way you’re so imaginative with colors and it comes out astonishing every time. Watching your videos helped me hope to paint clouds in the sky!

[@Shaza_Saif]

I remember checking your channel after watching a video of u painting on a denim jacket....im really glad i found your channel back then , your videos are literally the best tutorials on youtube💯💯💯. Thanks to you i have improved alot in these years❤️ u are such a great inspiration to me...

[@Shaza_Saif]

And yeah i also love how you explain everything like everything you know......

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you! 🙏🎨

[@CarisColors]

Considering all you painting I don’t know which one is my favorite but I do love you ocean painting the most. Making waves and the “ clear water” is so difficult for me. Thank you for all of your lessons

[@sabeelatayub7613]

Hiya Feliks!! I think this one is my favourite of yours!!! River Forest 🥰 absolutely stunning and I'd love to see more of these monochrome type landscapes and seascapes!!! There's something so beautiful about using different depths of colour in the same categories! Thank you for your beautiful artworks and beautiful tutorials!! You've helped so many of us become better artists!! ❤️ May God bless you always ❤️

[@camillewright6375]

My favorite lesson was probably your sunflower field lesson, and I would love to see you paint more people into your paintings.

[@murphymdb0910]

Felix, I want you to know that I'm smiling as I'm watching this video. Your videos are so peaceful and a pleasure to follow. I like how you create as you go. Your color blending fascinates me. Thank you again for sharing your talent.

[@ColorByFeliks]

Happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@aprilharvey]

I had no idea why it was recc'ed to have a soft palette knife, so thanks for that. I love the colours you create in your paintings; I'd love to see how you create different animals, fur, scales etc

[@Artbyjenuine]

My most favourite painting I think is the mushrooms in the forest 😍 of course there hasn’t been a painting you’ve done that I haven’t loved!

[@aminite8543]

I love this painting. All your paintings are great I love how you blend and then paint the details over. 🎉

[@mistymay0988]

I would love to see you do more paintings involving buildings like Old farms or little towns or something like that cuz you're amazing painter and I like everything you do so I'd love to see something like that also my favorite lesson is when you taught us how to do clouds and mixed paints I don't know the number of it but that's my favorite one and you did that real big cloud in the nice background it was beautiful

[@ClemensBros_Art90]

I love this painting alot, and amongst so many including the whole collection of the seasons literally all of them in the ( winter summer spring and autumn) playlists, my absolute favorite is the "Waterfall Cave" one.

[@annealabado3123]

My fave tutorials would be how to paint fog and red roses..❤ I'd like to see more sceneries and maybe how to paint different animals 😅

[@malinamundsen1773]

my favorite is the snowy train. I painted it when I was really sick, so it became something special. I will like to see more full step by step tutorials, I have missed them

[@vinodhinidhivya3545]

My favorite is, Cherry blossom and Tropical beach lessons. I did those paintings by following ur video 🥰

[@anitaperry6104]

I love this tutorial of River Forest. I'm amazed of how you do what you do. I'm mesmerized and in awe. I wish I could paint anywhere close to what you do. And there is another that's my very favorite. It's like a purple forest with a dirt road and bridge. The trees and greenery are gorgeous. Sorry don't remember the name of it. So if I were to win I pick the forest with the bridge. The river forest is beautiful too. Well everything you do is amazing. Love when you do the gorgeous colorful skies on the oceans too. Well who am I kidding, I love all you do. 😂

[@ArtSpell-7]

You are my favourite🤗❣️brother l like you and your works😊👍

[@diannahaverson7348]

Hi Feliks, I have many favorite tutorials but I'll go back to my very firs; Misty River ($4 bargain😂). This tutorial, the Mushroom Forest and, of course, Autumn Rays are perfect examples of landscapes I enjoy the most. I love lots of variety and water features in the landscapes. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing talent ❤

[@ColorByFeliks]

Thank you Dianna! I appreciate your kind feedback and support! 😃🎨
