Excellent video. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. I'm looking forward to seeing future videos.

Thank you for sharing how you approach your paintings. I love how you can capture a mood without getting bogged down in super fine detail. What you said about having harder edges for your focal point and softening as you move away was very helpful. I look forward to your next video :)

I just discovered you today. I will look for your finished paintings after this tutorial, but I want to thank you for sharing your talent.

This is awesome! Thanks so much for uploading this to KZbin. I really appreciate you going through your process step by step in Confessions of a Wildlife Artist. I really appreciate it :D

Looking forward to the next video! I’m curious to see how you’re using the greys/chromatic black. I liked hearing about how your path ended up being different from your dad, and finding your own way :)

[@PetaWilliams-x4i]

Gorgeous work. I some use acrylic in underpants

[@LoriWoodward-gd5fl]

Enjoyed hearing about your thoughts and process. I enjoyed seeing you mix and paint slowly. There’s too many hyper speed art vidoes online - watching those stresses me a bit.

[@GregBeechamStudio]

Thanks for your feedback! I'm a fan of the slower pace myself.

[@PetaWilliams-x4i]

I kno w a wild life artist who is incredibly then shoots hunts them dead. I cannot fathom after painting the beauty of a breath creature you would take its life

[@PetaWilliams-x4i]

@savioroftheheavenlyfowl7111 yes you can see and feel their heart beat and soul

[@rabindradebbarma7096]

Good news❤❤❤❤🙏

[@ebriden37]

I first saw your paintings on your Instagram, and I think they are stunning. Thank you for sharing your process! I do have a question not art-related. In your About section, you mention that you honor the sanctity of life but also enjoy hunting. How do you reconcile those two opposites?

[@kathleenwhite3296]

when will the rest of this painting demo be posted?

[@GregBeechamStudio]

I'm working on having another episode edited, but it may be a bit.

What palette is this ? is this sta wet masterson palette? It looks like sta wet palette? How do you keep your palette wet for days?

[@GregBeechamStudio]

Yes, I believe it is a Sta-Wet. I usually use a glass palette at my home studio. I don't purposely try to keep my palette wet, simply pile up my oils as I need them with space in the middle to mix.

[@KimHeiseArt]

Thanks so much this is really great! Question, do you always use your own photos as references? If so, what’s your process for taking them? If you use references from others, what’s your process for that? I feel like I’m always grappling with how to get and use reference photos of wildlife

[@GregBeechamStudio]

As often as I can, I use my own references. My personal rule for using other people's references is that I have to have been with them when the reference was taken. That means getting out and being with the animals. Not always easy, I understand, I'm blessed to live in an area that has abundant animals all around, but I implore every artist to find a way to get out with the animals.

[@DutchCreekRanch1]

So far every oil painter, I know, including myself, feels exactly the same way you do about acrylics.😂
