I am not sponsored by any of these art supply brands! As always, any products that I recommend are ones that I use in my studio that have been purchased by yours truly🥰🎉🌸

[@cutipieeva]

Love your artwork! I was just wondering if you had thought of turning your work into puzzles as well.

[@tasticola]

Oh Tahlia, they're not cheap either! I'm not sure what canvas you use, but your paints are fabulous quality. I'd love to see someone want to sponsor you! x Nell.

[@euphoriahayz2070]

What a beautiful process! I appreciate you sharing this. I would love to know all of the products/supplies/tools/canvases you use in your work and where you get them. There are so many elements and your applications are extraordinary. Thank you! ❤️

[@CozyKode]

I agree!!!

[@safi456]

Hey Tahlia, just found you by accident yesterday and I'm glad I did. Your enthusiasm is infectious and I'm now itching to get back to my paints. I'm a watercolourist, and I've only attempted 2 oil paintings in my life. They turned out fab, but that was complete luck because I genuinely did not know what I was doing! The two media are chalk and cheese, and I def have a watercolour brain. However, I'm itching to create some oil paintings, so if you could give me a few tips I'd really appreciate it: 1) since oils dont dry, how do you go over them without moving or ruining the layers beneath? This was my biggest problem, as every new brush stroke would interact with the paint already on the canvas, even if I didnt want it to. 2) I see you've drawn with charcoal. Did you spray fixative before you started painting? And did that influence the colour and texture of your paint? 3) What are you using to thin the paints for your first layers? Do those layers dry quicker as a result? 4) Oils vs acrylics - pros and cons? Thanks for your input, much appreciated 💖

One of the best things that comes with evolving social media is the ability to watch artists create. It's such a privilege and endlessly inspiring and fascinating - thanks so much for sharing!

[@tahliastantonart]

Such a blessing to be able to share it with you💞

[@iheardimnotalive.6054]

I am in a very hard time right now. I choose something that I thought would mean the world to me and it ended up just disappointing me. But, I don't find fun in anything anymore, I just can't feel the heat, the excitement, the rush that comes with creating something or doing something that resonated with your soul. As I was contemplating these thoughts, I came across your channel and I cannot describe in words how beautiful it was to see someone enjoy what they do so vibrantly. I hope that one day I can find my passion again and if I can achieve just 1 tenth of you beautiful liveliness, I would consider my life successful. BTW, I am not an art student, I am a child of science. But, watching your work is helping me a lot, So thank you.💕

[@tarrynitup2024]

I am in love with your work and your personality! I’m a beginner artist and I’d love to try something similar to your work! It seems so expressive and fun. Right now I’m mostly doing landscapes but I might try more portrait or fun colors or something. Keep up the beautiful work! ❤❤

[@Arthur-dy5yd]

Hi Tahlia. I think you got a great eye for art. I love your work and accent😊.

[@dodgemara2574]

You are very inspiring.i used the tip u gave in one of your videos about using different sizes of brushes instead of blending so much and it works good.thank you

[@mommyseastar5776]

I’m learning so much from you!! It’s so humbling because I have Soooo much to learn! Your art is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us! ❤️🌹🎨

[@parisasun2541]

Your work is full of Life and beautiful! Question : what did you use to draw? Did you use a medium over the drawing before painting? I’m struggling weather to use pencil/ erasing marks…. then what ? Will it smear with paint. ? Thank you so so much !

[@sundev3105]

TahliaWhat do you use to draw the potrait? How come the potrait is still so clear even after applying paints on it? Your paintings are gorgeous❤

[@Andromeister27]

So insanely expressive love your style!!!❤

[@davidbrown7932]

Great point about perfectionism holding someone back , that’s true in life and painting, Hallelujah 🙏

I can't believe I'm just now finding your channel. I search and search for content like yours. So glad I found you. I will watch them all. Thank you amazing and talented artist

[@travelchipmunk3396]

I saw your video on tiktok a couple of month ago and yesterday out of the blue I remembered it. And reelay wanted to see it again. But how do you find a video again in the depth of tiktok? You scroll through all the painting-hashtags in the app until you find it 😁 now I found out you have a youtube channel too. I think your art is stunning! Such amazing pieces! Thank you for sharing them with us. I can't wait to see what you create next! 🥰

Hi Thalia!! I absolutely love your work and love watching your videos; they’ve definitely helped me become a better painter and your tips have helped me with my own art business! 🧡🧡 thank you for being you and sharing your incredible work🧡🧡 I wanted to ask, what brands do you get your brushes from? Currently doing a big art supply shop and finding more ideas

[@tahliastantonart]

Oh my goodness! Thank you very, very much🧡 Most of my brushes are made by NEEF!

[@JanineMKartist]

very helpful. I want to start using oils again but use it one in some areas of my acrylics to see how it goes. An experiment.

[@Polishedandperfected]

You make the most beautiful pieces! Seriously I haven’t come across anything on your page that I did not like

[@CozyKode]

How amazing is it that today we can see proof that it’s possible to make a living from art. I thought this was impossible 20 years ago. But now, I’m trying again 🥰

[@ray9047]

i love your work, and i do appreciate thie video a lot! I would love to see more on your painting technique

[@so-much-to-learn]

Love your work. I have not seen this vibrancy in oil paintings before. Love it ❤

[@piera8207]

My god how wonderful! I love it. You're great! To have this kind of effects I thought you needed acrylic paints. Could you tell me what do you use to make oil paints so liquid? I love oil paints, but I switched to acrylic ones because I didn't think they were so versatile. I'm self-taught so I don't know the techniques well. A warm greeting 🌹🌹🌹

[@oum0]

I just love you and you art.... ❤️❤️❤️❤️ your pieces feels something special🥺❤️

[@NargisAthar]

I think your videos are the only videos where I have to slow them down to watch! 😅 loving your style.. quick question: I make a base with acrylics and only touch up main areas in oil. Is that a bad thing? Also if half my painting is acrylic and the other half oil which varnish can I use? Thanks!

[@vidyawitch]

Gorgeous artwork! Love it. So inspiring u are! 💜❤❤🤍🧡🤎

[@hellodenise9612]

I love your paintings! I love to paint water color but it is limiting and I think what you are doing is very much a water color look! I have always thought oil was dark and muddy but you have revealed a new way! At least to me! Maybe I have assumed some paintings I have seen were water color but in fact oil??? Beautiful work!!

[@temyo.7212]

Omg I love your paintings!!! They express such deep dimensions. These colors. You just really show that I shouldn't be afraid to use more. Where do you buy your canvases? I have trouble finding good ones :(

[@dinomold8502]

I love your art

[@lyndakowalke8858]

Hi - just found you, which is great because I am learning about oil painting bevor I finally attempt it ( probably a mistake🤷🏼‍♀️). You mentioned when doing thin layers, more glazing to go from light to dark? Is this always so, I thought it was vise versa🤔 - but I love what you have painted here - it’s a shame it went so fast lol. I just love it!

[@grantmail4112]

How soon can you apply the varnish? Did you apply it straight away ...when the oil was still wet... would that not smudge the oil painting? and how quickly does it dry enough for it to be posted? Thank u 💗💥

[@Morgane.de.Back25]

You are the best !! You give me so much inspiration and courage ! After your video or reels, i just have that urge to paint, it's beautiful ! Thank you so much for beeing out here

Hi beautiful! And encouraging! I did not get it: are you saying you don’t need to wait for the painting to dry before you varnish? I have always heard of the opposite? Bc of this brand ? 🙏🎨

Sending love from Cape Town, South Africa.

[@hammerheadcorvette4]

Instant sub.

[@DogerBoi124]

fat over lean for anyone who wants to know, doesnt actually quite mean just simply adding more medium to subsequent layers.. it means adding more oil. Your first thin layers should have more thinner.. or turps and less oil. last layers should be thicker, with more pain and more oil.

[@ArtbyAmberOlsen]

What did you sketch with? And did you seal it before you started?

[@tahliastantonart]

Graphite and sealed with Micador Fixative🎉

[@elsgussenhoven1727]

Wow !! Mooi prachtig 👍👌❤🇱🇺

[@Miscellaneos101]

I thought that when working in oil paints it's best to paint from dark to light, not light to dark? 🤔

[@tahliastantonart]

For opaque paint go dark to light and for transparent paint light to dark :)

[@xyz7572]

You say “fat over lean” and for varnishes “thick over thin”, but don’t those two things contradict each other? If you add oil medium to make it “fatter”, then it also becomes more thin and runny, no?

[@missblisspresents]

❤❤❤❤

[@jetetarro]

How is the paint so thin in the beginning 😲

[@marya494]

She used a medium to thin the oil paint

Next step to my grad pieces is to oil paint them 😳😳

how do you 'go over' with transparent paint? Is it just normal paint with a lot of medium (linseed oil?) added over a dry paint?
