[@bettyfrank9105]

I enjoyed watching you paint 🎨. We’ll done. I’ll be trying this also but in acrylics 👩‍🎨

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Hi Betty. My grandson bought some acrylics so I had a go but I found they dried to quickly for me. I have been painting for nearly 50 years in oils so I guess they must agree with my technique. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, thats why I do them. Good luck with your own work. Kind regards David

[@oswaldogarces1]

Love the painting David. Learn a lot.

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Thanks Oswaldo, I'm glad it helped you. Every painting I do is a bit of battle, I start with an idea but I'm never quite sure how it will turn out. Good luck with yours. Regards David

[@grahamabbott2270]

I thoroughly enjoyed watching your process and how you finally completed the painting...enjoy the detail..great painting and enjoyed your thoughts and approach to the painting as a whole

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Graham that's very kind of you. I'm just about to start an elephant family group but I suspect it will take me about a month. I'm looking forward to it and want to try playing with the light and dark areas in the painting, so watch thias space as they say. Kind regards David

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Thank you Sharon, that's kind of you. David

[@barbarawainscott6136]

This is such a wonderful painting! I love that you have used so much color in the animal and I love that you share the colors you used. It's so frustrating to be drawn to the color and not be able to know what color it is. Great teaching style. Thank you for posting. I learned so much!

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Hi Barbara. That's very kind of you. Stay safe. David

Really enjoyed watching this . Very inspiring . Phew I know now I really need more patience with details .. the finished result is beautiful .

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Hi Nadezhda. Thank you. I'm glad that you liked it. I'm working on another elephant painting but it's put on hold while I finish some landscapes for Japanese galleries. I enjoy doing both subjects so I guess I'm a lucky man. Take care and stay safe. David

[@amary_kalil_art8196]

People love painters who seem working with large details ..as if it s the only way to create realistic work ...but me i love ..no i mean ..i loooooooove this type of yours ..this is art and to me .this one looks more realistic than thousands of large syzed elephnts works ......keep it up ...thanks for sharing ...i learned a lot from u ...and i ll learned if you post a full episode ....🤔

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Many thanks for your kind comment Amary. I'm glad you like the work. I'm painting a small lioness study at the moment. You can subscribe to my channel if you like as I'm better at painting than social media. Regards David

[@elenamestkovskaya9532]

Thank you very much for that great video! It is one of the best and most useful elephants-drawing I have ever seen. I will try to draw my own picture with an elephant. Thank you very much!!! (and sorry for my english- not very good at it)

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Thank you Elena. That's very kind of you to say that. Actually I'm just starting a family group of elephants but I'm going to be away for a while visiting family so it may be a while but you should be notified. Take care and stay safe. Best wishes David

[@riascraftsandsewing4271]

Hi David, what an incredible painting!!! It could have been a photograph!! There are so many detail in everything, the elephant, trees and even the grass!! Thanks so much for sharing your incredible talent!! Had to subscribe and see what you share next!! Ria👌👏🎨

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Thank you Ria. That's very kind of you you. Take care and best wishes. David

[@sheilawagner4093]

Hi David- I’m trying to duplicate your elephant for a friend of mine. Thank you for the tutorial. I hope it comes out somewhat close to Your’s ( using another reference photo with Your’s too) and hope she will like it though won’t be done for some time. I’m recuperating from a knee replacement and can’t get back to it yet. 😢

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Hello Sheila. Again I'm not sure if I replied. I hope your friend liked your elephant. How's the knee. my sister had a knee replacement and it has increased her mobility. Good luck. David

[@nadineferet4660]

Dommage qu il n y ait pas toutes les étapes importantes.

[@mugdhamohapatra]

Loved the painting David :) I find the details on the trees hard to make as it generally gets messy and looks like blobs of paint. Will learn from your paintings and try again!

[@DavidCraneArtist]

HI Mugdha, I can't remember if I thanked you or not. I'm sorry, but good luck with your own work, just take your time and don't try to do too much at once. Remember, my are time lapsed. Stay safe. David

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Thanks Sheila. Good luck and if you have any questions you can email through the website. www.davidcrane.co.uk Also good luck with the knee replacement. People I know who have had the operation are really pleased they did. Stay safe David

[@scholtzbw2524]

Hi Mr David Crane love your painting techniques can I subscribed to online classe and do you have a website url then for me please?

[@DavidCraneArtist]

I would be pleased, Thank you. Just go to my youtube channel kzbin.info all the videos should have a subscribe button in them. I f you have a problem, just let me know. Take care David

[@nirmalan5590]

Oh my God!!! I thought oil paintings even with all their bold brush strokes and all the other techniques ,fell flat. Yours looks so painterly alive!

[@DavidCraneArtist]

Thank you. That's very kind of you to say so. Take care. David

[@DavidCraneArtist]

All done Jack. Do you have interest in neuroscience? David
