I started as 14 yrs old, but left at 20, now I'm 50 and going back to painting. You're a great inspiration and learning over from a master like you is very enjoyable. You brought back my urge for painting. Thanks.

[@koji2551]

Never too late ! Wish you to achieve your goal

[@calebavila3201]

Amazing! I’m a 17 year old aspiring artist, and Andrew’s works always inspire me to become better. I’ve already seen DRAMATIC improvement in my art, and a large portion of this improvement has been because of your informative videos. Thank you, Andrew!

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thanks Caleb, I really appreciate the feedback! I wish you all the best on your art journey!

[@DCweldingAndArt]

I agree, no one can figure out how much improvement there's been in my paintings here after this past year. I say, "I took some really good online courses and tutorials, and watched some amazing teachers everyday." I am so greatful for all that Andrew has taught and instilled in me.

[@ashetmuzikranxmanagement2046]

So nice

[@MrMrSaldana]

Keep practicing…my uncle decided to start drawing out of nowhere after 48 years and never indulged in drawing at all zero..he picked up a pencil and started messing around and after a couple years he was able to draw portraits..also I’ll add that he did get sentenced to prison and had all day to practice..but the point I’m making is anyone can that really puts in that work..

[@MrMrSaldana]

@Bo Oliver fickin Caleb..jeez dude..why you gotta lie bro

[@st1ngray284]

I really appreciate this portrait you've done. Can see the love you have for the Māori Culture and people by just looking at the patience and attention to detail you had for painting this. My wife had two ancestors that had their portraits painted, one by Charles Goldie and the other by Gottfried Lindauer. Both portraits are hanging in Te Papa. Your paintings will last many lifetimes.

[@jolandadejong9050]

I can never get enough of the incredible paintings you produce, it really is modern mastery❤️

[@sianroberts3874]

Truly an amazing portrait, Andrew, you captured Tuhoe's essence in this painting and that is a rare gift and skill to cherish. Thank you for sharing.

[@jeffhreid]

Splendid portrait Andrew. I especially was captivated by how you were able to lay down the crisp dark passages for the tattoo over wet paint. I find I get mud and struggle to get sharp dark marks over a wet base. The tip about reloading often is key to remember. Beautifully painted.

[@patrickethington16]

Breathtaking. I can't believe how good that looks, and I have seen it so many times in your videos. I should know better than to be surprised.

[@fundamentallyinsane968]

Wow.. I didn't know paintings could reach this level of realism. I just started painting landscapes and stuff about a week ago... This really makes me want to learn how to paint portraits. Immaculate work man.

[@angeltonyburgos3543]

You are an amazing artist the painting looks like a photo, it’s so realistic and I enjoyed your work, keep it up.

[@jesseanderson9177]

My great friend, you are much to young to have the mad skills that you possess. I don't think of you in any other way that a modern day master at what you do. You astound me with every painting. Having seen them up close and personal in your studio made it even better. You make me want to be a better artist, even at age 74.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Thanks so much Jesse, that is incredibly kind of you! I hope to keep the videos coming. 🙏

[@lyceum4177]

I agree! He's definitely a master

[@fayee8986]

I totally agree with your statement I want to be a better painting and your seventies. You're not the Lone Ranger. LOL

[@joelhurlbut3588]

Love your videos and I'm so happy to see new ones pop up like this with mind blowing techniques like these that make painting so much more fun!

[@gcolbert573]

As always, amazing work on this portrait. Thank you for always inspiring me. I plan to add the full video to my collection in the near future.

[@lorrainebrown6364]

Amazing portrait! I appreciate the realism captured without every detail.

[@519MaLoNeY]

I just ordered the book DIRECTLY after watching this video. This is my first time seeing you and I’m BLOWN AWAY and FASCINATED by how well you do your thing. Thanks for sharing this with us man. You seem to be a really solid guy and a phenomenal talent. Cheers from Ontario Canada.

[@henrymichal8522]

You make this look so effortless Andrew, of course, I understand its not that easy, yet your patience is very obvious. Thanks again for sharing.

[@ogulcanyolcu8714]

This painting made me shed a little tear for real. It's that beautiful. I'm speechless

[@Lisa-gs9ke]

Love this painting. Maybe some day you could paint today's native Americans. Starting with the east coast. People need to know they are not gone. You have a great gift which gives you a great voice.

[@paulbvlogs1423]

Who thinks they are gone?

[@shelrothartings7753]

Congratulations to You & Rachel, & Welcome Hugo!! Glad you are getting back into the swing of teaching and videos, Thank You! Hope we get to see your new studios eventually. Blessings on your new home and lives. Peace

[@xiomarra1]

I absolutely love this painting and how you explain what and why you are doing things. Thank you so much!!

[@iancaldeian]

Your creative process reminds me of a live demonstration by Steven Assael about 20 years ago. It was like watching a conductor with a full orchestra in motion. All my senses came alive. Remarkable. Now that I’m close to retirement, it is time to revisit the theory of oil painting. Thanks for providing access to your approach. Thanks for also providing a range of complexions from the human family.

[@gailhowes9398]

This is the most amazing painting I have ever seen! You are a miracle yourself to capture this man and give him life onto the canvas, I could imagine he was breathing! How many years you must have taken to reach the level that you are at now! Thank you for posting part of your life!

[@Grimgool]

this blew my mind away, you're incredible man what an amazing artist you're.

[@ball_0ut]

This is pure art ! A talent that cant be put into words

[@ojcreatzmills7029]

This is phenomenal! Your techniques are so effective and your explanation of applying the paint is magic. Inspires me to have a go, oils offer so many different approaches and the results are amazing !

[@mcb4167]

[@optimistin93]

I love than you not only paint or explain sections mixed with moments of silence. No, you really share your knowledge by talking the whole 20 mins in great detail! Thank you!

[@reidrhodes8423]

Hey Andrew! Love to see another video from you! I actually have the portrait workshop, can’t wait to watch the full version!😊

[@rosesharificouture2219]

I just watched again the section one of the full tutorial. I am so glad I got the full tutorial. I get to learn something new every time I watch it. Thanks again for this amazing detailed workshop. By the way anytime I watch any of your tutorials, and you finish your block-in, I always think you should say ”that’s how you paint alla-prima loose painting”, let’s continue for a hyper realistic painting. I am always amazed on how beautiful your block-ins are 🤩

[@abdulmalikshahir7901]

Wow this the most amazing portrait painting I have ever seen , I love this painting the Combination of color and the way of using the Brush is absolutely amazing I really injoing when I see your painting

[@ancientwisdom7810]

Wow, you are such an amazing artist Andrew, you have no idea how much I appreciate what you do! Sue

[@colinsmith6116]

Andrew that is absolutely great. Yours is the type of image that I really like the best, almost a photograph but so much better because of the fact that you have done it by hand. Well done.

[@fatimaarruda6264]

Perfection is the name of his art... his work is magnificent and impeccable. I could never say that it is a canvas, so much identification with the image in the photo. Congratulations!!

[@theagespot9717]

This is good timing. I am painting a silver haired lady I dreamt of some years ago and your work will help me to remember the technique as I'm working, since I have no visual reference for her specifically. Bravo on the explanations, btw. God bless, brother.

[@Swissmiss0401]

Wow such an amazing portrait he tells for sure a story.Beautiful work Andrew, thank you so much for sharing !!

[@celestinedyson7165]

A must for any artist's resource library. I have learnt so much and the presentation and information is so well presented I'm amazed at Andrew's skills. It makes me want to paint all day or even grab a wine and enjoy the videos.

[@leightonwestbury92]

I cannot understand how that level of detail can get translated and past into your hands, that level of detail is astonishing, I am most definitely in absolute awe

[@TheJberrie]

I’m trying to think of a compliment that isn’t filled with a long list of expletives to describe my amazement. I’m so glad to have discovered your channel, Andrew. It fills a void of inspiration in my life that I didn’t know was missing. Thank you.

[@subratabaruah1562]

You always inspire me to paint... I am always grateful to you sir ❤️..

[@scubathehun]

As I said before, your videos and a few other’s, gave me the courage to learn oil portrait painting at 53. You are the man Andrew.

[@alexcraig8543]

Really enjoyed Andrew's description of his process, his approach and the thinking behind it.

[@Sange4499]

solid dude, I've been painting acrylics for about 12 years, never got into oils due to the drying time and oil types and concentrations and cracking etc, but your process on spot on man. You give good valuable advice for beginners and that's important in a tutorial. smashed it.

[@michaelbarton5169]

Wow! I think this is your best portrait video yet, by far. Showing the Loomis base structure to align things despite the head tilt was great. I do the lower division into thirds to find the mouth, but I hadn't seen the middle division divided up before; this will really help my eye placement. Your patience and care in the mid-tone stage set up your highlights so beautifully... and this is only improved further by a great narrated demo of how to do sparing fine details to achieve the high realism economically and in a way that doesn't overload the viewer. (And, in fact, challenges them a bit subconsciously, which only draws them in more). So well done, both on the work as well as the instruction. Cheers!

[@intoodeeppodcast]

You are beyond incedible mate! You are helping so many and creating beautiful work at the same time. 👏👏👏

[@nanasvideos1510]

Hello from Canada! I absolutely love your art, from beginning to end. I am just about to retire and have started to learn the basics. Your videos teach me so much. Thanks for sharing your talent and time.

[@AndrewTischlerArt]

Hey Grace! Thanks for the feedback, I'm so glad you enjoy watching my videos!

[@bradlovely6936]

Immense and immersive visual talent, Andrew!🙏🏼

[@MarkDavidBlack]

Magnificent portrait. It's a real joy to watch a Master Painter at work. I know I shouldn't call it work when it's a passion, but all the same what a pleasure.

[@MeBeTheDB]

*_WONDROUS-!!_* Great subject matter. You could see each and every day in Tuhoe's eyes. Andrew, your mastery of bruised and battered brushes is like the life Tuhoe ... and yet, the brushes, like Tuhoe, are still standing tall. BRAVO-!! D.A. (a fan and artist)

[@amida1326]

That looks so real, I think at night he will walk around in the house.

[@jbulman2219]

That demonstration of the eye and that saying ,i needed that to improve my portrait thank you sir always waiting to your next tutorial.. Amazing work

[@PaulRansonArt]

Thank you Andrew for your inspirational videos. Truly a master class for portraiture.

[@sandrapetty2609]

I so enjoyed watching this video. Your appreciation for technique and approach to it serves the end product in such a beautiful way. I look forward to watching your other videos, God bless you and yours.

[@nunyaland]

What a BEAUTIFUL painting. Wow. Great job!!

[@somanjohn6931]

Amazing portrait I love the way you did it. thank you somuch that I could pick something new. looking forward to see more of you wonderful works Thank you

[@DH-pz7bc]

Really amazing work. I haven’t painted in years, not on your level, but this has inspired me to jump back in.

[@sundayoyedele2862]

Truly amazing. You, Andrew are a great inspiration! Thank you so much for this. 😊👍🏼

[@stevencowdell5201]

Always a pleasure seeing you work.Love your new studio.

[@anoshya]

Tremendous skill.I’m an abstract painter but always admire the skill shown here.thanks

[@TheLoveweaver]

Ummmm, this was some delicious painting! I was hanging on your every word and I learned so much! It came out fantastically! I now know why this was one of your favorite portraits. Just stunning!

[@mountain-roots]

So beautiful, what an amazing piece!

[@Allnonym0u5]

Watched this from start to finish. Beautiful work. Amazing what brush strokes can do to create this portrait. 😃👌 10/10. I can only wish I was capable of such work.

[@bvmheart]

Love the view windows bright room .... Great realistic features in his face, which appears younger, than your painting by 20 years🖼and his white background with tools on table is more true to his life, which also makes his face larger in reality, than background you chose. Thanks for the history lesson and great to see his face reflects his conversion in deeply profound humility ⚖️

[@caseymorris8393]

Your name will be listed among the masters. I am amazed each and every time I watch your videos. Thank you for sharing this great gift.

[@rajaweslati7633]

You are just an amazing artist, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and astonishing paintings with us.

[@hichamtakache8465]

I love your painting videos, please make more of them. This painting is awesome.

[@carlomac]

Stunning work! So inspiring, makes me want to paint! Thanks for sharing!

[@theknight957]

I’m trying to draw a landscape drawing. It’s not going that well… But your sketch endeavor videos are helping a lot. Thank you!

[@mikepetersen7319]

Well done Andrew, good to have You back again.

[@tomneidher]

This is the rawest I've seen! This made a strong impression on me! Can not described in words. The closest I come with words is beautiful. How to be so young to be able to paint like this? This is art for me!! I will follow you for sure.

[@yvesnarbonne6688]

This painting is alive!! This is crazy talent! Just... Wow!

[@hullster9970]

Magnificent. Its so lifelike. It brings me onto the question, who is considered to be the best portrait artist currently alive ? I really cant imagine anything being better than this.

[@lindaharden4831]

I really appreciate your talent Andrew. You are truly gifted. I am looking forward to learning from your videos. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent.

[@cassandreshido8321]

You're observation about sprinkling detail in an ocean of noise is extremely insightful, it's insane that our brain do a lot of the heavy lifting.

[@LibertyPPG-]

WOW! Absolutely amazing!

[@jfro5867]

Wow. That was absolutely stunning and looked so damn effortless. Simply amazing, I wish I knew a better word to describe it. Breathtakingly brilliant is the best I can come up with Andrew.

[@drawerz_draw]

dude sirrr you are a magiciannn. It is so magical how each progress in the process makes the image even more beautiful each time.

[@markm1261]

The details are amazing. I could only dream of creating something like your work.

[@The_racist_khasi]

Your works are always an inspiration to me.

[@ltergilywamb8106]

Fantastic artist and teacher. Lovely to watch your beautiful work. Thank you

[@johndelport7790]

You have an incredible mastery at seeing the subject and copying its exactness to canvas. What is more important, you have excelled in your paint mixing where most painters fail, especially if you're doing realist art. That's why I stick with impressionist painting due to it's very broad and forgiving paint mixing hues and application. Mistakes are easier to remedy and colours can be changed to set the mood. That said, I congratulate you for powerful realism paintings and thank you for sharing.

[@Hunter1968]

You are a true artist with unbelievable talent.

[@reginaldbrown8012]

Flawless! Makes me want to start creating art again. Magnificent ✍️

[@MikeDawsonArt]

As ever, this is a beautiful portrait. Thank you for sharing

[@mr.someone52]

Loved your old Studio Andrew , with your own Gallery space, truly an Artists dream ... I hope your Business did not get affected too much by the current circumstances.

[@pea-tearwingedlion3422]

Spectacular work Andrew!!! Your talent is amazin!!

[@Quagigitymire]

Absolutely amazing! The realism is breathtakingly wonderful. I envy those with even a shred of artistic talent because I can't draw, sketch, paint, or even color inside the damn lines! I can't get through a chapter of any book I ever attempted to read either and I have tried. Both these abilities would have been a blessing at certain points in my life when I had months and months of time to serve and absolutely no capacity to go anywhere other than where I was placed.

[@erroleabrown4317]

So beautiful and all the detail is amazing

[@sy2.083]

Just magnificent! Amazing work as usual! Ty!

[@28tatua]

Simply INCREDIBLE!

I really liked how you sketched out the face at the beginning! Excellent work my friend!

I think you done right by the sitter in this portrait. You showed great respect for the subject matter and it shows in your work. That was truly an awesome portrait, you have great talent my friend. Cheers!
