Do's and Don't on Painting a Tree in Acrylic by JM Lisondra

[@ayaneagano6059]

Wow... the “Don’t” is EXACTLY what I was doing... 🤣 Thank you so much!

[@thewayofyahweh7]

Same!

[@EssentialBlue]

I did a mixture of this before. The tutorial shows clearly how important it is to have some space between the branches with leaves. I might also improve some of the trees on the picture that I'm painting now. Danke für die einfache Erklärung :)

[@michelleelgin1158]

Me too! Lol

[@unapologeticella4540]

I think it looks like the wind is blowing

[@hakdok649]

Me too lolololol

[@euscieu4246]

THANK YOU SOOOOOO MUCH! No one ever teaches you like this step by step. Professionals don’t realize how we see paintings, so they don’t know how to teach. But you did an amazing job! Please make more videos about individual aspects that we can draw in landscapes. Thank you again, sir!

[@Perpetualteachings]

The best thing about this video is that you even showed what not to do

[@jmlisondra]

thank you :)

I love that you show how not to do it, and how to do it slowly. It really helps. When I see amazing artists on youtube explain stuff, they make it seem so easy. lol

[@Darrkknyt1117]

Yes I'm definitely going to try it because I just acquired some acrylics and brushes. I know how to sketch very well but have never painted. This gives me the confidence to at least try.

[@terezinhasantos7879]

Seu video é fantastico, consigo aprender muito.. porém se tivesse traduçao em Portugues ou mesmo que fosse em espanhol seria muito bom. Pois nao falo ingles. Mais voce é um pintor exelente💚💛Sou do Brasil.❤ sua arte.

[@DaisyAdler]

the don't tree is exactly how I paint a tree.. you just saved all the trees that i am going to paint in the future. Keep making these videos.

[@krishnanaidoo2758]

Hi. You have made it look so simple, very informative especially the depth of the foliage with all the different tones. I stopped painting in 1971 after I dropped out of high school. Now I'm 70 years and I bought a lot of brushes,paints etc. I cannot wait to get cracking. I'm definitely going to improve my art with your tutorials. ❤

[@jmlisondra]

Have fun and keep learning my friend...

[@IIMAnishInsights]

you are not just an amazing artist but also an incredible teacher. Thank you so much.

[@barbarachandler4430]

Thank you! I was doing worse than the Don’t tree. I needed to hear directions, nobody was, I’m so glad I found you. You will be my tutorial master!

[@curtriceennis2924]

So was I- mine were getting to the point they looked cartoonish. Am so very glad I found this method ... am gonna use it on ALL my trees from now on ... even ones in the background as I think that would add to making my paintings look more realistic. 😻

[@Iera_Thaumaturgy]

I was struggling so bad with the leaves that I almost wanted to burn my painting so I am glad to stumble upon this!

[@maisyunmunia8170]

This is my first time painting a tree with acrylic. You have tought so well that my drawing really turns out very satisfying..! Thank you so much.

[@curtriceennis2924]

The DO tree really looks like a photograph it's so realistic looking !!!

[@anushkanayak9424]

The left tree is how I actually paint😂😂 But this is the best way to explain a technique!! Showing the wrong and right! ❤

[@baidyanathdatta7231]

The best part of the video is that you showed us the don'ts as well.

[@alleynanci]

Thanks! Great do and don’t! That’s how I teach kids. It’s a effective way to teach anybody!

[@bettyberkey1047]

Followed this tutorial,,,,and I was really pleased with how my tree came out !! Even my husband was impressed !! Thank you ! You are a great teacher...:)

[@lvillagel]

My first time painting a tree, I’m glad I chose your tutorial. Thank you I learned so much!

[@JohnSmith-pk3mq]

Ok, probably feels like i am spamming now, but seriously you do this really well rather than just saying " block in the leaves you actually explain the process. Fantastic

[@jmlisondra]

[@imasnowwhite3592]

Thank you, that's really helpful! And btw - I could listen to your voice and explanations all day long. I always have in mind one sentence someone else on KZbin once said: "Don't ruin all the darks". 🙂

[@loisjohnson7272]

Love this lesson, Love you too. thank you for helping us paint better pictures.

[@mayeeshamusarrat6215]

I smiled just when you started painting the "don't" tree leaves because that's the exact mistake I would've made!

[@piyalisarkar4239]

I m loving the teaching technique, so patient, so compassionate 💚💚

[@TheSuperKawaii]

I was struggling to draw trees for almost three days searched for all youtube tree tutorial videos that was the best ! i'm able to draw a proper tree in acrylic thanks to you :) !

[@R31580]

Great explanation about painting techniques! It was so clearly explained. Thank you. So now, I know how to paint tree leaves according to how people look at the trees. Great job!

[@SaltLifeGypsy68]

Thank you for sharing. I'm almost finished with an altered mixed media book all trees. Mostly Leafless. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣 I may go back and add some leaves now! The 3rd highlight is what really gives it the dimension of Realism.

[@TeaRoseLover]

Thank you for the tutorial. You're the first art teacher that has shown me this in detail.

[@pamrobinson7050]

Thank you for zeroing in on one thing. You have helped me a great deal. I sure agree with the slowing down advice. I can ruin a painting just because I go too fast. I am starting to practice each item prior to trying on main canvas.

[@bhagyalathashivswaroop599]

Hi thank you Master John Magne Lisondra very nice a correct tree .on nature exist amazing beaury on knowlesge. One blessed week

[@julietaperez4091]

I always kind of got the main trunk but then I couldn't get the way to branch out, it looked like an octopus was fighting its way out of a tree stump. This has been the best tutorial I saw ( obviously I did a lot of the Don't Do stuff) so this message is to thank you for sharing your talent . I painted a tree last night that my daughters actually praised ( and gave you credit, obviously!)
