Apart from obviously being a skilled artist, you have a real knack for conveying information in a clear, organized and understandable way. Pedagogy is its own skill set, quite apart from making art, and I really appreciate your way of teaching. This was very informative.

[@MarySanche]

I appreciate that! Thank you!

[@alicia-lobo]

I couldn't agree more!

[@PeachesandMoss]

I agree! I love the teaching style.

[@gillianbc]

Yes indeed, very helpful. There are so many demos/tutorials that I like, but don't fully understand why they're doing things in a certain way. This was a really well planned lesson and I will certainly give it a go.

[@Erinba]

That horse painting was an absolute masterpiece and it was just in between pages - you are so talented !!

[@sonofhibbs4425]

My jaw dropped. Absolutely stunning.

[@bonne_vie]

Yes would love a tutorial on tips for getting details that small and building scenes like that.

[@Allmylovelyc]

That’s because it literally is a “master piece!” She did what’s called a master study of Rosa Bonheur’s painting “The Horse Fair.” Many classically trained artists will essentially “copy” an artwork to study how a master would paint. It helps train for colour precision, lighting, subject composition, etc.

[@Erinba]

@@Allmylovelyc thank you that’s very helpful to know- I struggle with not wanting to ‘copy’ artists even though I know I will learn from it as I’m scared to then venture out on my own and most times fail 🤫

[@papayapuffin4927]

I love that you never had and solid “do this” or “don’t do this” statements in this video and instead focused on possibilities and experimentation. So many tutorials that I’ve watched seem to just be about telling people what to do and not do which I think can hurt beginning artists’ creative journey. This was a very good and inspiring tutorial!

[@MarySanche]

Thank you!! That means a lot. A long time ago when I was a wee artist, one of my art friends online (whom I really admired, they were already an art director at a company before I had gone to college) told me that they never took anyone seriously who thought their art tips were law. So... I try not to do that! Everyone learns for their entire life.

[@babyprophet]

the complimentary one reminds me of children's books that show toys at night with light from the hall shining in

[@stacygibson9572]

This was so interesting and informative. As a beginner to intermediate artist I found it very helpful. Thanks for sharing!

[@MarySanche]

You are so welcome!

[@jilliancrawford7577]

This is the best underpainting tutorial I've ever seen. I am still a beginner with painting and color theory, but I didn't know that underpaintings could make such a huge difference! The drastic differences in the various demos also make it so much easier to understand how they work and I am incredibly grateful for that! I've always heard people comment how they could tell whether a painting has one or not and maybe guess what color it was, but they were never elaborated beyond that and this video has finally helped me understand! Thank you!!

[@bobjuniel8683]

So nice to see a fully qualified professional artist demonstrating on KZbin, teaching correct information and skills. I am inspired to experiment with gouache watercolours trying you clever techniques. Thank you.

[@vicca4671]

I've tried underpaintings before after seeing other artists using them but never fully understood how they're supposed to work. That has been incredibly informative and easy to follow, thank you so so much! ❤️

[@aliciashackley5830]

Thx for this very useful video. Finally you’ve explained the “why” of an under painting to someone that didn’t go to art school. 🥰

[@christyfantino9193]

Very helpful video. I feel like underpainting is basically never discussed and it makes a big difference. Thanks for sharing this.

[@MarySanche]

Thanks for watching!

[@helenam00n]

thank you for this video! p.s. my cat watched it with me and liked watching your brush move around the screen

[@InLiquidColor]

I've started using underpaintings recently, but am still a quite new to them, so I was really excited to see this video! Thanks so much for such a great resource and sharing your experience with them. I thought it was interesting that in these specific demos, I liked the warmer underpaintings, but the complimentary study!

[@kymford4256]

Thank you. I have not done underpainting before and I am new to gouache, hence really enjoyed your video and found it informative, clearly explained. Much appreciated. 😊❤

[@Rojo731]

Just, wow. Talent plus!!! I kind of understood the concept of underpainting but didn’t think it would make much of a difference. However seeing the three paintings next to each other really opened my eyes. Very very well done. Thank you!

[@jourdanhamme4065]

This was interesting. I knew what an underpainting was but I never thought to let it be seen. I have always used my fine detail brush to cover the underlayer completely. I can see the colored halo effect is nice for a whimsical-cartoon art piece. Thank you, you reminded me that putting a compliment wash under the main color focus enrichens the focus of the main color.

[@kristiw.1823]

That makes so much sense! It might be why I was frustrated with gouache... it felt flat, but I've never heard of underpainting.

[@reirin7486]

You made me fall in love with gouache

[@KatyONealKillingsworth]

I rarely re-watch youtube art videos, but this was so helpful I watched again today! Thanks for showing your palette too- I love a "messy" palette!

[@lyssamercier2014]

Thank you so much for this art tip, it is a really interesting concept I haven't thought of before but definitely will try!

[@lizzy9975]
