If this video doesnt have a million views in the next month i;ll be shocked. That was the most beautiful experience i;ve had watching a painting. My beatuiful lady, you are truely UNIQUE and AMAZING. I have never seen a style like that and was shocked the whole way thru. You are EXTREMELY talented and i am so blessed to have seen that. I will tell everyone to watch this video as i want all my friends to feel what i felt watching you paint and create such beauty. THANK YOU. A New Toronto Fan.

[@Lachri]

I taught myself, but did read a lot of books. KZbin wasn't around when I was learning to paint, so you're lucky there! I've been painting for about 16 years, so its not an overnight process. My advice is to paint as much as you can, even if it looks bad you are getting a feel for the paint. Don't limit yourself while you are learning to beginner stuff. You will learn faster by doing more advanced work, even if it looks terrible to start off :D Good luck!!

[@SeverusTsume]

oh wow..just wow..this picture is so touching..i love it..this is what i call creativity!!!

[@fireferret07]

Time lapse is the only thing I could go without. A normal speed video would help us noobies be able to study the way your hand moves. Other than that, you're simply amazing.

[@MarjoAnnikaArts]

I can't believe my eyes!! This is SO amazing!!!

[@TheYerMoma]

ugh i cant stop watching this over and over lol i absolutely love this. i love how simple it is yet how unique and amazing it is. you really have created something so visually stunning. and i think it is just awesome how you have combined air brushing into it too thats just rad! youre definitely an inspiration to my personal art!

[@pakalagirl20]

OMG! That is the most beautiful painting I've ever seen, between the beautiful, tranquil music and all that work put into it. Simply Amazing! Out of all the youtubers out there, you are my new favorite! Aloha

[@mystical_cupcake]

That's so beautiful. You have an original vision full of talent!

[@rierie1974]

Absolutely beautiful!!! I love the surrealism style you use!

[@WaltCabral]

Hands Down the finest quickly completed Oil paintings I have ever witnessed...Wish I could learn to do that...

[@Lachri]

Thanks :D This one is actually all acrylic paint :)

[@Christian1Juarez]

this videos should have millions of views!

[@Lachri]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it :D

[@MclovinMikey]

All I can say is WOW!!

[@84Manowar]

Amazing.....artist,musician and a beauty. DREAM WOMAN!

[@fourquods]

i find it tricky finding good vids for painting so this is a welcome find! love to know what that red is, inspired colours they work so well and love the 'twist' at the end, great stuff altogether!

[@B1ackDahlia767]

@Lachri Fine Art, this piece is completely beautiful. I love the composition, the surreal aspects & the way the colors compliment one another. I am a disabled artist. All of your activity on KZbin, your tutorials, Vlogs, live streams, critiques; you have single-handedly inspired me & given me the strength to keep up the good fight, to keep painting and drawing. Best, Artist; Barbra Loveless

[@Lachri]

Hahaha Of course! As long as you don't mind all the bad notes! My least favorite part of doing a painting are the beginning stages. I love the end detail stuff that brings everything together :D

[@Lachri]

I'm glad you like it!!

[@elizabethnaisbitt1795]

There is only one word to describe this *WOW* thanks for sharing

[@Lachri]

The problem is I would then have 15 hour videos haha. I do plan to do some more specific tutorials though with certain areas of the painting broken down and explained without the time lapse :)

[@ready4myKing]

I love your music too! God has really blessed you, Lisa! I can also imagine how proud your mom is of your abilities!

[@TfHezZ]

THIS - IS - FANTASTIC !!! Made me dream a few minutes walking into this awesome forrest :-)

[@Lachri]

I used a mop brush, typically used in watercolor. I don't ever apply the paint with it, only soften/blend out the brush marks from wet paint applied by other paint brushes. It is always used dry :)

[@Thebes17]

Just beautiful. This is amazing! Simply amazing!

[@nessela]

wow amaxing art work i myself paint acrylic art and sold some of my paintings but this here is so unique and beautiful and i cant wait to see more ty so much for sharing

[@Lachri]

Thank you! I work in oils, but not on this piece. For this painting I only used acrylic and airbrushing. To thin my acrylics I only use water. I use an airbrush to mist water over the canvas keeping it wet as long as I need for blending. I HATE the slow drying mediums, they mess with the consistency of the paint in a not happy way :)

[@Lachri]

Thank you :D I hope to get some more actual tutorials done in the next couple of months so keep watching, you get to be a long distance student :)

[@Hrui3859]

WOW!!!! Love the final product! That's awesome that you make your own music, it sounds professional and would like to hear more (: very Neofolk love it, plus it's compliments the piece so much ;)

[@Lachri]

Thank you so much!! I'm excited that you experienced what the goal of my art is...to make people feel something =D

[@Boonanarama]

Wow, that was AMAZING!

[@soulfulSIGHT]

such a beautiful painting! I love the colours and the Three dimensional effect with the water crossing over to the other part of the painting (not sure how to word that sentence but oh well) this really inspires me, you have beautiful talent! :)

[@sgtporkchops6830]

absolutely gorgeous and inspirational

[@Lachri]

Thanks :) They work so well together, makes painting much easier than using just one or the other :D

[@Cre8iveSignWorks]

great painting and lovely violin to go with it. talented girl

[@Lachri]

Thanks! I got mine from Coast Airbrush in Anaheim CA, but they do carry similar set ups at Hobby Lobby. It really does make painting mist and similar things a LOT easier :)

[@Hyyhkaja]

Oh my gosh, this is really beautiful!!

[@shepherd_of_art]

Really beautiful.. I loved the Bob Ross finish for the ending colour of the leaves and the acrylic drip technique at the beginning, Clever combination with much, much talent and feeling in it. You did fantastic work! And you are beautiful also... too much rareness for one video, I'm exploding :P

[@DanaMc57]

Your painting is AMAZING! I love watching your videos. Thank you.

[@Lachri]

Aww thanks!!

[@Lachri]

Awwww thanks!!!

[@Lachri]

Thanks. It took me a week or so I believe. If you are interested in either an original or print, just send me a PM or contact me through my site at lachri.com :)

[@CanvasPainter12]

Your work is amazing! Beautiful!!!!

[@aurumagaara]

I am in love with this!!!!!

[@ggkohler]

Wow - wonderful imagination and talent! Love the music too :) Would like to pick up a print of this piece.

[@Meashayshay2]

Beautiful work and even more beautifully played music! :D

[@Lachri]

I used createx white paint in an iwata airbrush :)

[@Lachri]

Thank you!

[@Ndrewwho]

That is so AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[@awakesurfer121]

I admire your skills. You are a well rounded artist. Very relaxing music. Do you usually play violin?

[@Lachri]

Thanks! That shade of red is a mixture of several colors, no help I know :)

[@Lachri]

Thank you so much!

[@hollydolly3208]

very beautiful painting, I love your use of highlighting, reminds me of a painting that I recently did ... I also prefer acrylic... sounds like we have similar styles! :D

[@paulagob5631]

i love this picture its so fantastic!!

[@Lachri]

It's not a big deal because it wasn't a commission. I ALWAYS take deposits for those :D I'm not sure how long I spent on this one, If I had to guess I would say a week. I generally have several pieces going at the same time so its hard to track. I generally sketch my ideas out then design them in photoshop. This saves a lot of headache in the painting process :D

[@Lachri]

hehe thanks :)

[@Lachri]

Awww Thank you :)

[@Lachri]

Thank you :D

[@Lachri]

Thanks!

[@fireferret07]

They're just jealous. I'm jealous in a good way. xD Been drawing since I was 2, I never learned how to do landscapes. I can do realistic faces though owo

[@Lachri]

Aww Thanks!! :D

[@Lachri]

Thank you!! :D

[@15th_reaper8]

Lachri i recently found your channel and im very impressed by your work

[@Lachri]

+15th_Reaper Thank you :)

[@Lachri]

Thanks :D

[@Rhiannoncout]

Wow, you play beautifully. Amazing painting too!

[@Lachri]

Thank you so much =)

[@Lachri]

Thanks. I actually still have this piece. The person who was going to buy it ended up sort of falling off the face of the Earth. This one, as well as others I paint this size I will sell for $800 plus shipping.

[@skeetarus]

I've just found your channel and I'm spellbound! You are magnificent! So many beautiful and magical skills, how gorgeous! 😊

[@ernesto5740]

beautiful mind!!!.I love it!!!

[@shobhit5578]

This is so beautiful...great work...!!! :)

[@namuunb1]

OMG. What a talent

[@muktasharma1155]

Oh dear you r blessed!! Truly heaven ...:)

[@XerxesBreaks]

This is just absolutely breath taking! I wish I was that good, I'm only 15 and I've never actually painted anything before haha. I was looking around on KZbin of landscapes to draw and all the videos I've seen (Especially this one) seem so impossible to do! So realistic it's gorgeous! This is a stupid question but you've probably took classes and read books and practiced for years to get that good right? Any advice? I'd greatly appreciate it! :)

[@iddybiddyify]

Beautiful art and lady. I love you style..

[@xXxLadyGigglesxXx]

O.o What is this magic?? Really Beautiful! :D

[@Lachri]

That is me playing improv on violin. I'm terrible working with this audio software so I just start playing and whatever I get, I keep...hence all the bad notes =P

[@sallysmiles6088]

Extraordinary

[@Lachri]

Thanks! :D

[@claritzairosario68]

Wow!!!😲❤️❤️❤️

[@ramesh0785]

love it..

[@aliceasommeil]

Awe, that's a shame. You should try it! I find it informs a lot of the way I use oil and acrylic. It will make you love acrylic even more. You can also paint with watercolors in many many thin layers. The ability to build up watercolors to the depth and 'opacity' of an oil is really an art in itself and seriously will help your other areas of expertise. You should look at some scientific illustrations for watercolor inspiration since you are so good at animal paintings. Thanks for the video!

[@Liveinvanilla]

I'mI'm so envious right now!!! Damn!

[@dimple8200]

Extremely superb..

[@carla3577]

Its amazing!

[@Lachri]

haha, thanks!

[@tjdvdf]

Amazing :-) Again, thank you for sharing this!

[@loricalass4068]

That is really cool! The music in the background of the vids I've seen sounds celtic. Fine by me as my ancestry is from that general area, mostly.

[@Lachri]

***** Thanks :)

[@Lopezwresteler8o5]

ahh great technique with the airbrush

[@lorishack2682]

Your work really is amazing! You have very beautiful paintings! I love the imagination and creativity in all of them especially in this one! I love watching all your videos; but, I need some of your artistic help. Where did you get your air brush? Do you think they would have one of those at a Wal-Mart or Hobby Lobby. From watching how you use your air brush to paint in your mist. I usally just paint mine with a paint brush; but, the way you do yours it looks a hundred times better! :) :) :) :)

[@Lachri]

As soon as I stop being lazy I plan to upload everything I've recorded for my videos to myspace for downloads...but the lazy is totally in control :P

[@deniseisabel7144]

Wow très beau !

[@EatMyCharisma]

[@intheshop406]

love it!!

[@misamadrisa1]

amazing work!

[@qigong1001]

That was insane! Do you ever do oils? And which do you prefer (acrylic vs oil) and why?

[@Lachri]

Slap Stick I do use oils. I actually prefer using the two together. I like to do an acrylic underpainting to save time, getting lots of layers quickly and having the ability to use the airbrush for certain things. I like going over that in oil to create softer looks in some areas and richer colors in others :) Here is an example of one that is oil over acrylic Speed Painting Giraffe,Butterflies and clouds in oil over acrylic - Time Lapse Demo by Lachri

[@darkblitzrz8]

what kind of brush is that you are using .. looks super soft and big im starting big project need info asap if anyone knows
