I love that it actually looks like a painting and not a photo. Very nice, your friend will love it! 🎨☕

[@josquinelburg74]

Nickhead87 You do know that Mark and Emily especially paint in the wet-on-wet alla prima method right? It's what Mark teaches on this channel.

[@josquinelburg74]

Nickhead87 No matter, what are some painters you look up to?

[@Mimi127]

That's nice. I always love rougher paintings. I like it because someone can really see the stroke.

[@ronschlorff7089]

Right, I think we humans are naturally attracted to juicy things: juicy fruits, juicy steaks, etc. Oil is a "juicy" medium and I love the feel of it while painting and want a painting to look like a painting, not a photo. So a looser approach is what I go for in all oil work. I've done the tight stuff a while ago, wildlife; all the fur and feathers, in other media, mostly acrylic, but I want my landscapes impressionistic with thick paint and still lifes with a painterly quality. This lovely oil painting is so inviting; you can almost smell the delicious aroma of the coffee. Yum!

His wife looks younger then Mark

[@fullstance5119]

I truly appreciate the positive thinking during your process; the "I-can-do" self-talk tempered with "that's ok", a gift.

[@jlusk999]

Just watching this 4 years after it was posted, but I love this painting! Love Emily's easy going narration and her perspective as a 'non-expert' but still very good painter. More Emily videos please! Never thought I'd want to paint a cup of coffee but I am now inspired to do so.

[@edwardmedina1236]

LOL - At 5:02 I love that your wife says she gets frustrated with the cookie so she moves back to the coffee. It is refreshing and nice to know that even professional artists get frustrated with their work at times.

[@waynepayne9875]

This is the exact style I'm trying to replicate. I love how it's not photo realistic, I really dislike photorealistic paintings, we have cameras for that!

[@ElizabethBattle]

Amen!!!!

[@Rachaelshaw7]

Emily needs a playlist!

[@silverstorm6973]

We want more Emily videos mark ! You both are awesome :)

[@shirleypolo6272]

I enjoyed watching you paint this. It has a " painterly " look which I find very appealing..and not so much like a photo. Very nice work. If I saw this painting in a store I would purchase it.

[@rmc9076]

Great painting ! Great coffee ! It’s wonderful that you paint for other people too ! Very nicely done Emily!!!

[@danfe9064]

Thank you for this demonstration Emily, I am learning so much from you and your painting is absolutely stunning

[@jacksutherland8749]

Really nice demo of how values pull every thing together. Nice work

[@Mary-jh8kh]

Thank you Emily I enjoyed watching you paint and listening to your thought process throughout. It's a beautiful piece of work.

[@paulinehughes5325]

Beautiful, nice demo look forward to watching more Emily Thanks

[@deborahgonzalezknight168]

Lovely. As an artist who hardly paints due to all family commitments and earning a living, I am hoping to get back to painting after the summer. These videos have so inspired me, and answered a lot of doubts and questions. I am actually excited to go back to art. I amilnly did life drawing, printmaking and landscape, but it has always been spasmodic as a single parent.

[@Chirmanickityville]

Thanks for sharing this, very nice. i enjoy watching your videos and hearing your thoughts about the process.

[@nglitch3111]

it's great. I especially love the spoon!

[@veaudor]

From watching Emily, I got alot of insight as to how Sargent worked. Lovely!!

[@ronschlorff7089]

Right, one of his earliest works was a table set with glasses of beer; another delicious liquid with foam on top!! :D

[@curlytuna8514]

“Perfect” is subjective. I personally prefer rougher paintings with visible brushstrokes and I really enjoyed this one

[@armohammad3146]

Wow ! the way you draw it makes it feel very simple ! but for my second oil painting it is a big challenge that I`d love to take ! Thank you very much for teaching us how to draw the paintings we were dreaming of it !

[@patcoulter9804]

I love this style of painting. I am a very detkind of painter and would love to be looser and rougher. I think after watching this video, I'v e decided that the thing that I have realized is that not blending would help me. I'm an extreme blender. Thanks so much. Gonna try it.

[@SirPrancelot1]

Inspirational, thanks to you and Mark for the time and effort you put into these videos. A great free source of information and inspiration.

[@galex1024]

Great Job Mrs. carter!!! I've been following and learning for a long time and I hope to one day visit you guys studio as a student.

[@suzanneiordanou9731]

Thank you for talking us through. Great teaching process!

[@TodaysSpecialMinis]

Well done, Emily - I think you successfully showed that you can make a pretty gorgeous and lush painting even if it's not exact. Your painting had character and emotion - I didn't think the background would work in the end, but it did. It gave your painting a sort of wispy, longing, old world Italian kind of feel. I even loved the way the "unfinished" biscuit turned out - in fact, I liked it more than the one in the reference! The finished product was full of quiet charm. The spoon came out looking a little weird, but it worked in the painting. I tell you what made this pop for me - the little highlights you added to the cup and handle at the end! You made me want to paint this picture to see what I could do. But I don't have these paints - I have regular Simply Art acrylics - I could still try though - and I just might!

[@vflytrap7158]

I like how your paints look so smooth and ready-to-paint. I find regular paints a hassle having to thin them every single time.

[@beckyg9831]

Emily, bravo!!! From the little thumbnail picture, I thought it was two photos of coffee.....had to read the title before I realized one was a painting!

[@bestaudio7315]

Great work Emily!

[@gimmhome]

Very nice Emily!

[@edmundosherrera]

I love your nice demo in oil painting , together with the narrated info . hope your geneva color will be available in the philippines at affordable prices .. thanks !

[@borisf7561]

Please post more videos like this one. Its very helpful!!

[@alexalva9151]

Cute painting! Great video, thanks for sharing lots of helpful stuff on this channel!

[@sherrierichard2848]

That was great work Emily! Love the painterly look. I'd love to have that painting too. Your friend is lucky.

[@moirawarden8906]

Thanks for the video Emily you made it look fun and easy! It has helped ease me back into painting again :0)

[@andresaroba1967]

You´re amazing Emily, thanks for sharing. I feel like painting.

[@MrMarcela001]

Sorry my english is not so good. I love this work you did. Fantastic exercise. I will definitely try to do the same and it's a perfect present for friends that love cappuccino ! Small shape and you finish it in a day, my work takes always forverver! Thank you!

[@fbpliegorrivero8869]

You are an awesome painter.

[@ElizabethBattle]

Your wife seems like such a dear, and a very excellent artist. 😊

[@sonseraedesigns]

So pretty!! Thank you so much for you and your husband sharing your talent, knowledge and wisdom!! God bless.

[@AnArtsyChic]

I love this painting!!!

[@cathyserafinowicz6374]

Thank you Emily,that was great!🤗🤗🤗

[@tamikagirl56]

I enjoyed this video! I have improved with these techniques and demonstration.. I wish I could post my painting🤦🏾‍♀️

[@JustDebz]

wow this is so well done!

[@helenvane]

this is the style of painting I prefer.

[@JB007SEXY]

Always a pleasure to see such TALENT.!!;-)

[@terrapin52]

Looks fantastic!

[@carogza21]

That is beautiful!!

[@abigaillyell283]

They both almost talk the same. Love the painting too ❤️

[@leonryan1212]

I like the slight imperfection and slight abstraction. Not much blending has actually heightened the essence of a cup of coffee. Good job!

[@anabakurally8404]

I love the painting

[@harleysartistry]

I"m going to attempt this for a friend. Thank you for the video! I hope I can do half as good as you did!

[@ronschlorff7089]

OK, then drink half of the coffee down before you start! LOL.

[@krkabob]

Love watching you paint and love your commentary. You give the rest of us some hope:-) I'm more intimidated by Mark's paintings... I'm like how the heck does he do that... aaarrrgggg. I try and painting, it's terrible and I want to give up. But then I come back to these video's:-) Thank you BOTH:-) Mark, don't take that the wrong way.... love watching you as well. I'm just so far from your talent.

[@derickelsner6802]

Woo hoo! Perfect I love it

[@ahmedrafed3011]

I love those coffee colors from the palette, i just feel like i can taste them 😂 they must taste like coffee xd

[@abourg]

wow mom that's excellent , that was too cute at the end, really enjoyed watching Emily painting and the dark too light was a eye opener , I can wait to use it on my next painting . great video

[@PatriciaGodboutArt]

so lovely and a statement the coffee society.

[@adamsaoud7191]

well that was awesome work thank u so much

[@ReginaReRoma]

I just LOVE IT.

[@maryellenhill4121]

Sweet child and a nice gift!

[@luwhitehead7803]

Absolutely stunning! I'd love to know what colours you are painting with and how you came up with those beautiful greys and browns.

[@DrawMixPaint]

Emily and I always paint with the colors in the Geneva Essential palette: genevafineart.com/collections/all-items/products/essential-palette-plus-black And thank you for the kind comment!

[@luwhitehead7803]

That looks like great paint. Do you have any distributors in the UK? The VAT to import it would be quite high.

[@rosebuhr]

Thank you to you and your husband for so generously sharing your knowledge with us. I would love to buy the Geneva paints, they look so creamy. I live in South Africa; would that be a possibility?

[@silverstorm6973]

I like this painting a lot I'm doing one like it

[@Quilt4Joy]

Excellent!

[@sooth15]

Looks great! :D

[@JoelBetancourt]

"Well mom, That's excellent"

[@ronschlorff7089]

a very fortunate child indeed!!!

[@clerageorgia5377]

Amazing😍

[@pablopasos5933]

Awesome!!

[@medhan847]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial. However i didyget why we shouldn’t blend our colors? Thanks

[@didierleprince6106]

Génial. Merci

[@muhlenstedt]

As your child says: Excellent! And how brave you are painting all these refections with different values and colors in 4 hours.Ok, it seems so simple to paint just one object, but I personally find very difficult when comes to smoth, glaring surfaces like metal or ceramics.Thank you for the demonstration.A question about the brushes:are you using filberts?Have a nice day!

[@DrawMixPaint]

Yes, we use filberts. See our supply list of suggested brushes here: www.drawmixpaint.com/supplylist/ Thanks!

[@leroya160]

If you always paint dark to light what do you do with tree limbs in the foreground?: with a lighter background?

[@marissadherrera9973]

Thanks for sharing this amazing video! Do you have other videos related to coffee and coffee shops? Thanks and God bless your family. Stay safe. 💗☕🎨💑🙏🏻

[@udohelmts3884]

Great job :-)

[@williambusby146]

EXCELLENT! !! Mark do you still offer one on one classes??

[@mcmlxix69]

William Busby he does. I talked to him about a week ago about it. He is very responsive and seems like an overall great guy!

[@DrawMixPaint]

Yes, I do! You can read more about them at the link on my website: www.drawmixpaint.com/

[@samybonita]

What colors did you use? and how you mixed it? I want to try to paint it pls!

[@scotts6702]

very nice

[@hadeel5515]

amazing work I would like to paint like this. I paint with acrylic color and I wont to switch to oil the only problem is I can't move the color so smoothly, it's look like it need some mixed media what do you advice me to do

[@veresannamaria4584]

Very nice

[@احمدجميل-ت5ظ]

Awesome thank you very much

[@elim7026]

I really want to know what do you add to your oil paint???...I use linseed oil to thin out my paint but I don't really get the consistency I want it to be.. Yours looks like it just slides on the panel, mine is thicker and less opaque as well.

[@chaserUSA48]

I counted 26 hues on Emily's palette many of them incrementally varying in value and chroma one from another. Are these mixed on the palette or from the tube color? What are the parent hues may I ask? Thank you Los

[@NeelamMPawar]

are the Geneva paints available online in countries outside USA? I couldn't find them on Amazon

[@ingridmarie3587]

Hello!!! Question about your paints: I'm an acrylic artist, I work heavily with soft bodied acrylics but really want to step into the world of oils. I'm reading up on different brands of oil paints and have heard that Geneva paints seem to be a little thinner (and it almost seems that way watching this video how they lay against the palette) Do you feel Geneva's will be an acceptable or will be a more comfortable transition from soft bodied acrylic to oils, compared the other oils? Also, do you have any tips for an acrylic artist transitioning to oil?

[@ronschlorff7089]

I did that by just doing it!! I painted in oil at first, then gouache, then acrylic, then water color, did not like pastel so I never tried it, then back to acrylic for a long time, doing animal paintings, now back to oil for plein air landscapes cuz that's the best medium for it, now, after seeing these videos, thinking about returning to oil for still lifes and portraits again, and gouache cuz I liked it when I used it years ago, and acrylic for wildlife again cuz I unearthed some of my old paintings, and like them, so I'll do it again. Also saw some recent videos on casein, so who knows. Just dive in and experiment! That's all. No one needs to hold your hand unless you are a child! It will seem strange at first but it won't hurt you. Just accept that you'll be lousy at first, maybe for a long time, with any medium, and get better as you get more used to it, and most of all,..... the harder you work!!!

[@TomTremayne]

In my opinion, and in saying this I'm not trolling, but I think she's a better teacher and shows you in more depth how to do stuff than her husband or partner.

[@simaabedini843]

Would you please name the colors you had used for this painting , how do You make this palette , colors are perfectly sitting next to each other ❤️your gray colors 🤔👌I am new to painting . 👏🎨🙏👍👩‍🎨🌏

[@DrawMixPaint]

Emily used the Geneva essential palette which consists of burnt umber, titanium white, french ultramarine, pyrrole rubine, and cadmium yellow. You can also watch my video about how to mix any color: kzbin.info/www/bejne/in-lZIuPa5yEY6s Hope that helps!

[@ronschlorff7089]

Nice limited palette, would work well for any type of painting, including portraits. Zorn used cad red, yellow ochre, Ivory black, and of course white. Everyone here should see the results he got with that extremely limited palette. The beauty of an extremely limited palette is that it causes you to "extremely think" about what you are mixing as to colors!! :D

[@ChristinaTodd1970]

Dang. That paint looks so creamy! I just got my first paint set (a student name brand from Jerry’s) and my paint consistency is NOTHING like that!

[@BryanCoombes]

Great demo, I don't agree with "always start with background first", sometimes it's helpful to paint the subject first then cut around the subject with background. This can be helpful for establishing an accurate ellipse. Beautiful work though.

[@ronschlorff7089]

I can see the wisdom of it, and Mark explained it once, has to do with "bumping" and refining edges where subject and background meet, and if you have a bit of a ridge, in a less blended piece, it is better the ridge be over the background than the other way around and because it is often going to be a lighter subject on a darker background, and it is a matter of how shades of paint want to cover, one tone relative to the other. Easy stuff like that! :D

[@simaabedini843]

Thank you sir to reply .

[@nikolaicrusader]

I wish I could teach my Wife or my Daughter to paint too ..but as Maam Emily says took 4 hours to paint ..I usually took months or even a year to paint...

[@goldeneastgun]

Lovely ^_^

[@billymandalay929]

The pattern on the pastry ?

[@guy24733]

I'd like to see more detail added to some of these tutorial painting's. possible a second layer with more fat added later? I know it's just some coffee, but, this heavy use of pigment without an under-painting, it feels far more suited for impressionism. this feels as if it's trying to be realism but can't clear the hurtle. There is simply to many other tutorials using similar painting methods. On a different note, I guarantee most viewers cannot afford the amount of paint you use to set up your pallet's on a consistent basis. I'd love to see a step by step layered painting using less paint and more medium, i don't expect one. but I'd be happy

[@leifefrancisco7316]

It’s hard for me to tell which one is actually a painting.

[@claygreen4723]

If the cookie gave me trouble I would just eat it. Problem solved! Another reason why I can't paint consumibles.

[@nefastodelirio]

This isn't a coffee but a cappuccino.

[@dontrombetti2706]

It’s a cappuccino.

[@mwh82108]

the handle is all crooked A-

[@dharamehta2387]

good but finishing is not so good

[@BratzIZ]

Incredible!
